Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies. Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?" Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think.... I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!) Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍 I also said in the video I&

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 Well.... I found this amazing card on Pinterest (as you do) and thought I've got to have a go at that! it's by Mixed Up Craft, and here's the link: Tricorn Style Fold Card in case you want to see it too, I made mine up from an A5 card as I really hate to waste cardstock by cutting it to inches! So at some point I might do up a quick video just to convert it to A4 format for you! Anyway after doing up my draft I then proceeded onto my "proper card" and all was going well till I realised I'd scored it all wrong lol, however as I really don't like to waste cardstock I persevered on with it, and I really liked what I accidentally made, so I figured I'd share it with you, I'm pretty confident you won't find this anywhere else, and if you have a more inspiring name for it than my fancy fold mistake card, please let me know! I was wondering about Fancy Fold Arrow card, what do you think? So after all this talking I'm su
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
Hi there Creators, I have joined a Facebook group called Crafty Collaborations, which is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator only group, demos all round the world, and there are various blog hops to join in with, which I thought sounded fun and might prompt me to remember to do blog posts lol! The "Share it Sunday" is an, anything goes one, which I figured was a great start for me! Today I thought I'd share with you a bit of a sneak peek! Coming in January is our new Jan to July Mini catalogue and there is this AMAZING suite in it called Fine Art Floral, so beautiful! I've made 3 cards up and kind of ended up a bit "blue" not in feelings though - you'll see.... lol The first card is this one: I love the way it's got the 2 step stamping in the flower I've used one of the gorgeous Blue gems in the middle and bit of Wink of Stella on the flower too. This next card uses the matching dies: Floral Gallery dies, and the stamp set: Art Gallery. Again th
