Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off an idea that Claire our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Development Manager showed us in a workshop the other day, I took it a bit further in one of my cards, let me know which card is your favourite! If you'd like to see all the goodies I used on these cards click here:  DSP & Blends Turtles Cards Here are the cards I ended up creating The first 2 I've just used the blends to go round each of the images on the designer paper, I really love the way the images get highlighted from it, almost a "stained glass effect" This first card I also used the blend on the white card base under the Designer Paper to give a border This second card I used the Blend around the edge of the Designer paper to draw a line  (I did use a ruler to do this!) again to create a border. Then this last one I've gone round the edges again with the darker Pool Party blend, but then blended in the lighter one in all the gaps. I actually did g...

Textured Floral & Templates

-

 Hi There Creators, 

today I thought I'd show off this Textured Floral Stamp set (it's sooo pretty), and then in the catalogue there is a page that has a few template designs on it (or card sketches), so figured I could have a go at those designs to give you an idea of how to use them😃  This is the first 6 designs in the book:


However, first off I created a piece of customer Designer Paper using the stamp set, and colours: Soft Sea Foam for my green, then Petunia Pop, Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath for my pinks, and Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly for my yellows

This first "smile" card is the one I created in the video, then I moved onwards to the next 6 designs getting them all out of this one sheet of A4 cardstock (and adding some plain colour card for the backing bits), I've also used some of the Petunia Pop Ribbon cut in 1/2 lengthways so it's wasn't so bulky, and also the Labelled with Love Punch.

Then I was left with 2 bits of my patterned cardstock, so this card came into being (I just couldn't leave - or throw out the last 2 pieces 🤣)  I had to get my stamps back out to create a bit more of a background for it, but Oh my goodness what a pretty set, I'm definitely happy that I bought this one!


If you missed the video here it is:


I hope this inspires you to create your own Designer Paper and have a go at some of the templates in the catalogue.

God Bless love

GDP #261

 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...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

 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...
