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,
My video today was on 2 Step Stamping, which I'm sure most people if you've been stamping for a while would have done, but not everyone would have realised there actually is a name for it! The basics of it is that you stamp one image then stamp another one on top, usually it would be an outline image then a fill in image on top, which is what I'm showing using the Hand Penned Petals Stamp set today, I mention in the video that it does come as a bundle, however it appears I was wrong 😳 oops, apparently that was last year, now it's separate, so..... you can also get dies that go with it, called Penned Flowers Dies that cut out the various images. Do check them out with the links I've added.
Anyway, on to the cards, I decided in the video to use the same colours for each one, and I've got to say, I absolutely love the way these have turned out, I hope you do too.
I've used Evening Evergreen for the leaves/ stems and
outline, stamped off once to create the infill for the leaves, then
Melon Mambo for the flowers.
I ended up picking a trifecta of greys for the mat on the 3 cards, the first card uses Gray Granite, then the second card has Smoky Slate and the last one uses Basic Gray. The first card I kept ultra simple, added the saying with the matching Evening Evergreen, and some bling (more about that later)
This second card uses the Smoky Slate, and the lovely Gray Granite Shimmer ribbon (I know it doesn't match exactly but I like the slight contrast)
Then the last card kind of got ramped up a bit, I decided to add some of the flowers to the background, by inking with the basic gray and stamping off once, then stamping onto the card twice to get the faded effect.
I mentioned the bling earlier, I've used the Iridescent Pearls on each card, they are gorgeous, nicely understated I think, I didn't want anything overpowering on these cards, but I thought these would add to the elegance, what do you think?
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
