Butterfly Basics

Hi everyone,

Well, its only 2 more sleeps till the man in the red suit arrives, so I hope you are all organised. I have put away all my Christmas stamps for another year. This card with “sending wishes your way” can be used for a variety of occasions.

I embossed the Whisper White base card (#106549) with the Layering Leaves 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#143704). All the stamped images are from the Butterfly Basics stamp set (#c138816, #w138813, #p137154) and the inks used are Wild Wasabi (#126959), Daffodil Delight (#126944) and Sahara Sand (#126976). Daffodil Delight card (#121680) was used to mat the cardfront and for the solid butterfly. The butterflies were cut with the Butterfly Thinlits (#137360) and Bold Butterfly Framelits (#138135). I used Champagne Foil Sheet (#144748) for the detailed butterfly. The greeting was cut with the Layering Ovals Framelits (#141706). The edges were sponged with Daffodil Delight ink (#126944). The greeting and butterfly was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I added Glitter Enamel Dots (#144200) to the butterfly and flower.

I wish you all a very happy Christmas.

Lovely As A Tree Christmas card

Hello friends,

I was asked to make a Christmas card for a male with an old car on it. I found it hard to make it very Christmassy but this what I have made with the limited time I had.

I stamped the trees from Lovely As A Tree stamp set (#c127793, #w128655) using Garden Green ink (#126973) and Soft Suede ink (#126978). The car from Guy Greetings stamp set (#c138828, #w138825, #p137178) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#126966), then fussy cut and attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Merry Christmas can be found in the Star Of Light stamp set (#p142110), and also stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink. The cardstock is Whisper White (#106549) and Cherry Cobbler (#121681). The gold and silver tape on the left side is from the Year Of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape (#144644).

That’s all for today.

Country Livin’ with Stampin’ Blends

Hello & Welcome,

Stampin’ Blends are dual tip alcohol markers in 12 exclusive Stampin’ Up! colours, each with light and dark shades. These markers make it so easy to blend colours and create lovely works of art. I have used these to colour the truck.

The base card is Soft Suede (#119982). I embossed the Wild Wasabi card (#111850) with the Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#141481) and the tape is from the Pick A Pattern Washi Tape (#144166). I stamped the old truck from Country Livin’ stamp set (#c141925, #w141922) on Whisper White card (#106549). This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used are Crumb Cake light (#144585) and dark (#144601), Smokey Slate light (#145054) and dark (#145055), Old Olive light (#144574) and dark (#144573), Daffodil Delight light (#144586) and Bronze (#144607). Happy Birthday from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set (#c139471, #w139167) was also stamped with Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Lots Of Labels Framelits (#138281) to cut the Whisper White card and the edges were sponged with Soft Suede ink (#126978). This was attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

Have a great day.

Embossing Paste

Hello everyone,

The background for this card is a combination of a stamped image and embossing paste.

I stamped the images in the corners, from the Graceful Garden stamp set (#c143849, #w143846) using Sahara Sand ink (#126976). Then I spread the Embossing Paste (#141979) using a Palette Knife (#142808) and one of the Pattern Party Decorative Masks (#144103). Then I added some of the Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter (#133751) over the top of the paste which gives a lovely sparkle. I had some retired Black Glimmer Paper which I used for the dragonfly which was cut using the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits (#142749). Alternatively you can use Basic Black card and add some glitter with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897). The dragonfly was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Happy Birthday is from the Rose Wonder stamp set (#p140697) and I have used Peekaboo Peach ink (#141398). The ovals were cut with the Layering Ovals Framelits (#141706) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attached this to the card. The cardstock is Peekaboo Peach (#141422), Basic Black (#121688) and Whisper White (#106549).

That’s all for today.

Sympathy card

Hello,

A beautifully elegant card for a sympathy card or it would also be suitable for any special occasion.

The white card is Shimmery White (#121717). I always like to use this card for special occasions as it has that subtle shimmer which looks so nice. I used the Champagne Foil Sheet (#144748) between the 2 pieces of white card. I stamped the flourish from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set (#c141534, #w141531) with Pear Pizzaz ink (#131180). The sentiment and flowers were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131), then heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The card front was embossed with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#139672). I added the Silver 1/8” Ribbon (#132137) to the bottom of the card. The bow was attached with a Mini Glue Dot (#103683). The flowers are from the Flower Shop stamp set (#c130942, #w130939) and punched out with the co-ordinating Pansy Punch (#130698). These were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The card was finished by adding the Clear Faceted Gems (#144142) to the flower centres.

Have a great week. Hope it’s not too busy leading up to Christmas.

Lots Of Labels Framelits

Hi everyone,

As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator I often want to give more than just a business card to a potential customer so today I made these little bookmarks for that purpose.

I cut the Very Vanilla card with the second largest of the Lots Of Labels Framelits (#138281) before stamping a variety of images on the card with a variety of inks. Then I sponged around the edges of the bookmarks. I also attached my information on the back of the card. As I wanted to make these a bit more substantial I then laminated them, then cut each with the largest of the Lots Of Labels Framelits. A hole was punched in the top of the bookmarks then I added a Gold 1/8” ribbon (#134583) to each of the bookmarks. I thought this was an easy way to show some simple stamping as well as including all my information.

I hope you are having a great weekend.

May Flower Framelits

Hello ladies and Guys,

I can’t believe how busy I have been since returning from holidays a couple of weeks ago, so I apologise for not having a chance to get my blog organised everyday. I like to try to do it daily but life just gets a bit hectic sometimes. Hopefully I will get more organised in the new year. Now for todays card.

The stamp set for the flourish and flowers is Falling Flowers (#c139556, #w139553). To stamp the flourish, I attached the small square of Whisper White (#106549) to the Whisper White card front with a post it note to keep it in place. Then I stamped the flourish with Pear Pizzaz ink (#131180) so it stamped on both pieces of card. Remove the post it note and attach the small white card to a piece of Wisteria Wonder card (#124389) which has been cut with one of the dies from the Layering Square Framelits (#141708). This was then attached to the card front, lining up the image. The flowers were stamped with Elegant Eggplant ink (#126969) and Crushed Curry (#131173). Happy Birthday from the Big On Birthdays stamp set (#p142877) and also stamped with Elegant Eggplant ink. The base card is Wisteria Wonder. I finished the card with some Glitter Enamel Dots (#144200). These dots come in 4 different colours - Dapper Denim, Crushed Curry, Berry Burst and Old Olive. There are 160 sparkly adhesive backed dots with Ombré shades for multiple hues. Beautiful! The  elegant eggplant flower was attached to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430).

Have a great day.
