Crafting Forever

Hi,

I love this sentiment - “crafting forever, housework whenever”. I’m sure all crafters agree with this.




The sentiment and paint brush images are from the Crafting Forever stamp set (#c151231). I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708) for the brushes and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) for the sentiment. I coloured the brushes and pot with Stampin’ Blends. They include Bronze (#144607), Ivory (#144606), Dark Poppy Parade (#146879), Mossy Meadow combo (#148547), Light Night Of Navy (#144036), Daffodil Delight Combo (#144603) and Light Balmy Blue (#148540). This Whisper White card and the Daffodil Delight card are cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#148551). The See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper (#149449) was attached to the Whisper White base card. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment to the card and Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457). 

Have a crafty day.

Free As A Bird

Hello again,

The beautiful birds from the Free As A Bird stamp set (#c149468) was another image I had amongst a lot of other unused stamped images which I came across in my clean up the other day.




The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Whisper White card (#106549). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour this image are Balmy Blue Combo (#148544), Daffodil Delight Combo (#144603), Flirty Flamingo combo (#147278), Purple Posy combo (#149566), Light Old Olive (#144574), Dark Real Red (#147934) and Light Crumb Cake (#144582). This image was fussy cut and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Whisper White cardfront was stamped with the Birch Background stamp (#c149256) using Crumb Cake ink (#121685). “Birthday” is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set (#c151240) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This image is actually “happy birthday” but I wasn’t wanting to stamp that, so when I inked the stamp I covered the word happy to avoid getting ink on it. I removed the paper before stamping and was able to stamp Birthday without a problem. A post it note is great for doing this. “Happy” is cut with a die from the Merry Christmas To All Dies (#147912) from the Real Red Glimmer Paper (#150427) and glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The base card is Real Red (#106578). 


Have a great day.

Dandelion Wishes

Hello and welcome.

I was having a clean up (never ending around here) and I had this card front stamped so thought I would finish making a card with it.




I stamped the background using one of the images from the Bokeh Dots stamp set (#151368) onto Whisper White card (#106549) using Seaside Spray ink (#150085). Then I stamped the Dandelions from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set (#c151345) using Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). These colours go so well together. The cardfront was attached to the Seaside Spray card (#150889). I made a frame also from Seaside Spray card using 2 of the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#148551) and embossed it with the Subtles 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). The frame was then attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Happy Birthday is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#c151331), stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and punched with the Classic Label punch (#141491). The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the centre of the dandelions.


Enjoy your day.

Bells Are Ringing

Hi,

The Bells Are Ringing stamp set (#p150476) is a 2-step set, which allows you to add different images to this bell.




I stamped the bell onto Real Red card (#106578) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Shimmer White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#149511) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The images on the bell were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) to give a subtle image. This was then cut with the Detailed Bells Dies (#150656). I embossed the Whisper White cardfront (#106549) with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). The white square was embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (#150646). The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (#150513) and stamped with Real Red ink. This was punched with the Tailored Tag punch (#145667). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the bell and the sentiment. The Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots (#150433) were added to finish the card.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Sympathy Card

Hi Ladies & guys,

I needed a Sympathy card so I have used the Cross Of Hope Dies (#145654) and the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#151823), and both of these represent the person that this card is for.




I used a full sheet of the Shimmery White card (#121717) and folded it in half. I embossed a smaller piece of Shimmery White card with the Country Floral 3D embossing folder and I matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I used the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638) to cut the Gold & white card for sentiment and the pieces under the cross. The cross was cut with dies from the Cross Of Hope Dies and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment is from the Painted Glass stamp set (#c151243) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Shimmery White card has a lovely shimmer however I added extra shimmer to the embossed floral card using Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046). 

Have a great day.

Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper

Hi,

Many of the Stampin’Up designer papers work well together, even from different packs. Here I have used the Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper (#149592) and Garden Lane Designer Series Paper (#149488).




The cardstock is Whisper White (#106549) and Old Olive (#106576). The birds and the Old Olive card were cut with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638). The rectangular cards were cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#148551). The holes in the white card were made with a die from the Sip & Celebrate Dies (#150668). The bow was made with the Mossy Meadow Linen Thread which is part of the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack (#149485). This was also wrapped around the rectangular cards. The rhinestones are from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones (#149494). 
I decided not to put a sentiment on this card. Sometimes you have the right card with the wrong sentiment, so this card can be used for many occasions.


I hope you are having a great weekend.

Christmastime Is Here Suite

Hi everyone,

The Christmastime Is Here Suite Bundle (#153947) is so beautiful. The Christmastime Is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152154) with the roses has some images that can be cut with the Roses Dies (#152144). The image on this card is from the edge of the paper so the whole image isn’t included but I was still able to use it - I don’t want to waste any of these gorgeous images.




The cardstock is Cherry Cobbler (#121681) and Whisper White (#106549). I cut 4 of the “lattice” with a die from the Roses Dies from Whisper White card and attached it to the cardfront using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309), then I attached the floral image cut with the co-ordinating  die. The Gold 1/4” Shimmer Ribbon (#152156) was wrapped around the cardfront. “Merry Christmas” from the Christmas Rose Stamp set (#152431) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and cut with another die from the Roses Dies. I added the gorgeous Gold Glimmer Enamel Dots (#152155) to finish the card.

This suite is available to order from 1st November and will be available while stocks last, so if you love it as much as I do, don’t delay in ordering on 1st November.

Peaceful Boughs Bundle

Hello friends,

It’s great to be able to use products from the annual catalogue along with products from the holiday catalogue, which I have done on this card.





I stamped Happy Christmas from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (#c150513) onto the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111).

Basketball card

Hello,

I was happy with how this basketball turned out for my grandson who loves his basketball.




I cut the Pumpkin Pie card (#108601) with a die from the Layering Circles Dies (#141705). Then I cut some Basic Black card (#121688) with the Layering Ovals dies (#141706) and glued these black strips onto the circle with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). I then embossed the “ball” with the now retired Softly Falling folder. The base card is Pumpkin Pie, then Basic Black card followed by Very Vanilla card (#106550). I stamped Happy Birthday from the Perennial Birthday stamp set (#c151240) with Pumpkin Pie ink (#147086), then embossed the card with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing Folder (#151797). The basketball was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
