Beautiful Bunch

Hello,


No 11 is the piece of DSP from the One Sheet Wonder on this card.





I stamped the swirl from Everything Eleanor (#c124164, #w131987) using Pacific Point ink (#126951) although it looks green due to it being stamped on the yellow DSP. The flower is from Beautiful Bunch (#c134282, #w134279). The background of the flower is stamped with Soft Sky (#131181) and Pacific Point (#126951) was used for the flower detail. The Fun Flower punch (#133785) was used to punch the flower. Champagne Glimmer Paper (#127885) was punched with one of the flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch (#119858) and added to the centre of the flower. Happy Birthday is from the Bloom with Hope stamp set (#c133952, #133949) and uses pacific Point ink. The Modern Label punch (#119849) and a Framelit from Project Life Cards and Labels (#135707) was used for the sentiment. The cardstock is Crushed Curry (#131288), Pacific Point (#116202), Soft Sky (#131292) and Whisper White (#106549) which was used for the flower.

Till next time,
Happy Stamping!

The Open Sea

Hi again,

Today's card uses the #10 piece from the One Sheet Wonder and using the Open Sea stamp set (#c123032, #w128454).




Here is the template I used for the One Sheet Wonder.




(Piece no 5 should be 6cm wide not 5cm as shown on the template).

The DSP is Flashback (#133699) which I have used for all the cards in the One Sheet Wonder series. The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550), and Basic Black (#121688). I stamped the ship using Versamark (#102283) and Black embossing powder (#109133) then this was heat set. I distressed the edges using the Stampin' Distress tool (#127562) and sponged the edges with Crushed Curry ink (#131173). Happy Birthday is from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set (#c126257, #w132022), using Memento ink pad (#132708) and cut with the coordinating Bitty Banners Framelits (#129267). The Banners Framelits (#132173) was used to cut the Banner. I embossed on the larger piece of black card with the Chevron folder (#127749). The sentiment and the ship were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

Don't forget to check out the Year End Clearouts which end on the 5th January. There are still some fabulous deals on some amazing products.

Kinda Eclectic

Hello,
I hope you all had a Happy and relaxing Christmas. We had a quiet Christmas Day, with all the family coming on Boxing Day.

Today's card is the next one of the One Sheet Wonder series using piece #13.






I stamped on this piece of the Flasback DSP (#133799) using the Kinda Eclectic stamp set (#135347) with Tuxedo Black ink (#132708). Crushed curry ink (#131173) has also been used for the sentiment, small butterfly and starburst. The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550) and Basic Black (#121688). The punches used are Elegant Butterfly (#127526), Bitty Butterfly (#129406) and Decorative Label (#120907). Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#119246) have been used on the butterfly and the corner of the card. Stampin' Dimensionals were used on the butterfly and sentiment.

Today's tip: Always stamp your image before punching. Also for most images to punch, it is best to stamp at the bottom of a piece of card with the image the correct way, so you can just put the card into the punch and punch it easily.

Have a great day.

Till next time,
Happy Stamping!
Lesley.

Gift card holder

Merry Christmas to everyone.

I made a Santa suit gift card holder which I needed for a friend. I have seen a few of these on various blogs ( one was Julie's Stamping Spot) and are so easy to make using the Envelope Punch Board (#133774).







Just choose the size you want to fit the gift card - this one is for a 3"x4" card. Make the envelope as directed on the Envelope Punch Board using Real Red card (#106578). I made a pocket to put the gift card in from Whisper White card (#106549. I add the Season's Greeting from the Bright and Beautiful stamp set (#c135029, #w135026) using Real Red ink (#126949) and the stars using Daffodil Delight ink (#126944). The belly band is made from Basic Black card (#121688) with the buckle from Silver Glimmer paper. This was punched with the Curly Label (#119851) and Petite Curly Label (#129405). So so easy!!!

Owl Builder

Hello,

An old favourite of mine is the Owl Builder punch (#118074).



The cardstock used is Island Indigo (#124390), Whisper White (#106549), Cherry Cobbler (#121681), Basic Black (#121688) and Baked Brown Sugar (#131301) with Subtles DSP stack (#130135). The stamps sets used are Gorgeous Grunge (#c130517, #w130514) for the splatters on the background of the Island Indigo card and Sketched Birthday (#c130426, #w130423) for the sentiment. I used Island Indigo ink (#126986) for both. The banner was cut with the Banners Framelits (#132173) and then embossed with the Woodgrain folder (#127821). I used the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder (#117335) for the front of the owl. One of the Framelits from Project Life Cards and Labels (#135707) was used for the sentiment.The Bird Builder punch (#117191) was used for the leaves. The owl was attached using Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

Today's tip:
Use the Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner (#102394) and Stampin' Scrub (#126200) to clean all stamps after use. The cleaner also conditions your stamps. Lightly spray one pad with Stampin' Mist ( you do not need a lot). Scrub your stamp on the damp pad, then rub on the dry side of the pad to remove any left over ink or moisture. The Stampin' Scrub has 2 removable pads which are washable. Wash regularly under running water and allow to air dry.

Till next time,
Happy Stamping!
Lesley.

Butterflies Thinlits Dies Sneak Peak

Hello,

As most people know I just love butterflies, so when I saw the beautiful Butterflies Thinlits Dies (#137360) in the new occasions catalogue which will be available from 6th January, I couldn't resist this set. There are 3 butterflies in the set with the butterfly on this card being the biggest - 11.1 x 8.9 cm.





A very simple card is all that is needed for this butterfly. I made the card 13x13cm so made an envelope to fit using the Envelope Punch board (#133774). The size I used for this from the punch board is for a 5" x 5" card using 8-1/8" square Whisper White cardstock (# 106549). This was the perfect fit for the card. I stamped butterflies from Kinda Eclectic (#c135350, #w135347) on the envelope, just inking the stamp once, but stamping 5 butterflies so each becomes lighter.
Now back to the card. I cut the butterfly from Red Glimmer Paper (#121790) which gives a lovely sparkle. I attached this to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). Before I attached the butterfly, I embossed the top piece of the Whisper White card with one of the Delicate Designs folders (#127023). This piece of card was attached to a piece of Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The sentiments are from the Petite Pairs stamp set (#c122497, #w128706) using Real red ink (#126949. The dots were done with the Real Red Stampin' Write Marker (#100052).

Today's tip.
For the gold foil sheet I cut a piece to the required size (12x12cm). Then I cut a square out of the middle leaving about 2 cm on each side. This is a way of not wasting the more expensive papers when you only want a small amount showing. The piece removed from the middle can be used for another card.

There are so many new products available in the upcoming Occasions catalogue so looking forward to sharing them with you in the New Year. Also Sale-a-bration starts on 6th January where you can earn free products by shopping, joining Stampin' Up! or hosting a party. Want more information? Just contact me, I am here to help you.

Till next time,
Happy Stamping!
