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 Today I have a new parcel of goodies to share with you, these products are now available online, I've added the links to each so you can check them out. First up I showed the stunning Sunflower 3D Embossing folder (it's a large one being A5 sized) I think I'll be showing off a couple of ways to use it next week (stay tuned!) Then I moved onto the " Not 29 anymore" stamp set, which I absolutely love, it's definitely a keeper well after it retires! Next up is Label Me Grateful Bundle ( Stamps & Dies) I do like that the dies can be used on their own if you're not keen on the stamp set (personally I liked both) Next up is a Suite, the Floral Charm Suite Collection Oh so pretty! I've given you the link to the whole collection but when you check it out, there is a drop down box to pick out individual items if you don't want the whole kit & caboodle! And last but not least although it's not totally new, it is to me😃 Th...

Hi there Creators
As I cleaned up my desk to do a video and wondered what I should video about, I came across a heap of cut off pieces in varying colours, and just knew what I should be doing.....
So I made the video, then got it loaded up onto my laptop and discovered it was out of focus! grrr, so the next day I tried again, which means that now I have 2 lots of cards to show you 🤣 Well at least something good came of it (plus of course I used more of my scraps)
I'll show you them in the order I made them.... this first one I thought I'd stick to 2 main colours, white and red, with green base card
thought I'd also share with you how the saying came to have a torn edge....well, I stamped it directly onto the card first, and this happened - just goes to show you should stamp the image on scrap paper first before putting ink to your main card!, so I thought never mind I'll stamp on spare card, and cut it out in a neat rectangle, ha ha! I stamped, all good, then the cutter jammed and tore the card, by which time I was a bit fed up with it, and decided it could look good with a torn edge instead lol! As I say in class there's always a way round things
So next up I made this one: very simple design, not much to say about it really, just that you don't have to use all the available space on the card, it's ok to leave some blanks 😃 And you gotta add some bling, in this case on my desk also happened to be the Adhesive backed seasonal sequins, and conveniently they went with all the cards I created except the last one, (by then I'd put them away!)
So after this I created this card in the first video I made (which no-one will see due to it's "out of focus'ness") This time I went for the whole front covered, and I love the scalloped edge I was able to get by using the Penned Flowers Dies.
Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done) So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work? anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol) I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours. The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper ! I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...
Hi there Creators, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan). I saw the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack in the catalogue and thought they looked lovely, and yes they really are gorgeous! (link prob won't work till 7th) Anyway in the video I show off all the cards in the pack, and mention that I am doing share packs for various things in the new catalogue (Designer Paper, Ephemera Packs, Embellishments, Ribbons and this Memories & More) See more details at the end or send me a message. And here are the cards I made up using the Basic White Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes : This firs one uses one of the larger cards, a couple of stickers, the stamp set "simply said" for the saying and some of the pretty Riverside Irregular Pearls . Then this card is a small one, using the same stamp set "Simply Said" , a sticker and some more of the Riversid...
Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is: I hope this inspires you to create one t...
