Thankyou for joining me today, I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, since 2008. My blog will show you how to make cards and projects using Stampin' Up!'s fabulous products. And occasionally random extra stuff (that's the way I roll 🤣) Please do sign up to receive my emails, so you get my latest info.
Hi there Creators Well I was sitting last night wondering what to do for my Something Saturday, and playing around with a bit of paper, ended up designing this card, I've made similar cards before like the cascade cards, this is probably a bit more basic, but I'm happy with it and it's way simpler to create, but still packs a cool Woah factor🤣 I've used Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper which is on the last chance list. I decided it needed a sentiment so picked out this one from Sweetest Star Stamp set (last chance list again), because it has 6 words (1 for each panel!😃) and these Adhesive backed Snowflake Assortment are also on the last chance list and happen to be reduced to 1/2 price (woo hoo!) Ok, onto measurements.... You'll need a sheet of A4 for the base card, score it at 9.9cm either end, then cut in 1/2 at 10.5cm, fold so each piece is concertina'd into 1/3rd's then each folded piece needs a cut that goes 1/2 way up the card (in the...
Anyway this time I figured I'd show how to make a single layer card, I think I used all but one of the masks.
Here is the initial card I had made up before the video I'd used the Regals colour palette for this card: Real Red for the butterfly, Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss for the central flowers, Cherry Cobbler for the single flower, and Shaded Spruce for the leaves, Oh and Crushed Curry on the background
Then this card I made in the video using Brights colours palette, (and a sneaky subtle...)
I've used Flirty Flamingo for the butterfly, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point for the central flowers, Mango Melody for the single flower, with Granny Apple Green for the leaves, then Soft Sea Foam for the background. I personally prefer this one, where I swapped the background and inside butterfly masks over. As you can see there is something extra on there! It's the gorgeous Gilded Leafing 😊
It's pretty simple to create this card (and cheap! - gotta like that!)
Lay down the butterfly outer mask then pop whichever mask you want showing inside it over top, and hold it firmly in place (if any of it is really close to the edge, add a bit of scrap paper under the edge of the mask, so you don't accidentally colour anywhere extra on your card) then daub or brush over top the colour of your choice. When this is covered, remove the top mask and keep the bottom mask still there, then daub from the outside of the mask, allowing the middle to stay light.
The middle flowers use 2 masks on one, start with what I consider to be the one on the bottom of the sheet. It's the more filled in mask, if you do that one first then the more delicate one lines up a lot easier, with the top and bottom flowers (don't try and line it up with the 2 side flowers as it doesn't make sense that way)
The single flower can be done so you do one part then the other and it can either sit directly on top of each other or you can offset it as I've done on this card., then of course add the leaves!
The Gilded Leafing is added by drawing on fine lines of glue - I use the Tombow thin end (Multipurpose Liquid Glue), allow it to dry slightly, then dunk in the gilded leafing, and brush off the excess (I use a sponge for this)
Hi there Creators, thought I'd join in this Sale-a-Bration Blog hop today, and I'm excited to see what others have created using the upcoming Sale-a-bration SAB products. For those un-initiated SAB is a special time of year where we have 2 months of FREE Products *YAY*: When you purchase $90 of products you get to pick a free product from the SAB offering, this year is the first year we're going to have 2 SAB's in a year there's another one coming in July too (it'll be different products) *DOUBLE YAY* lol Anyway there were a couple of products that I have to admit I wasn't so keen on, but at the time I was ordering it was a case of pick the stamp set I didn't have as others weren't available, then lots of people seemed to be raving about the Designer Series Paper that I ended up using (again I wasn't so keen on it) However I have a thing about not being beaten by a stamp set, so I was determined to make something of it (especially as I can...
Hi there Creators, Today I'm joining a Crafty Collaborations hop, this is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all round the world, cool eh? This particular blog hop is What's New? and open to our own interpretation. Sitting out in my craft room I spied the True Love Designer Series Paper that arrived a few days ago, and decided on a spot of colouring in therapy, and the cards started from there..... This Designer Series Paper is black and white, and has some great images to cut out (if you don't mind a bit of fussy cutting) The first card I made with the paper was this one, I've cut the flowers out from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper, and used Stampin' Blends to colour them in. With this first card I've also used one of the Gold Hoop embellishments which I haven't used before too, I have to say the metal ring is really quite sturdy you can see the Gold Hoop a little more clearly with this photo, I've used a bit of the Gorgeou...
Hi there Creators, I've been waiting ages, but finally this stamp set has arrived and it's every bit as cute as I expected it to be! So of course I had to play with it....... First up I stamped all the images using Black Stazon (they come in strips of 3 to match the dies) and cut them out with the big joined together die. Then got to work creating cards with them, I ended up with 5 cards in the end, Oh and I've just realised I forgot to take photos of the insides, bother! This first one didn't get anything on the inside, I stamped the tag up, then debated what I could do to lessen the impact of the white card, and came up with the idea of inking the little label then stamping it a few times without reinking, and repeating till the card was covered sufficiently. I'm quite pleased with the effect I got! This second card is such a fun kid card, you might recognise it from my previous post on Global Design Project #264. I've tied the ribbon at the end, then th...
