Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

Image
 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...

ClassCards@Home September 2020

 Hi Creators,  Well the in person classes were very short lived!  So we're back to @Home classes again.  For each of these cards you can use your own sayings that you have at home.  I'll be providing all the cardstock cut/scored/punched etc and the extra elements and instructions, so you only need glue, ink and saying stamps. Anyway onto the cards: If you follow my blog, you'll have seen this one the other day, We're using the Best Plaid Builder dies for this card, and the Story Label Punch . The other 3 cards I feel I got a bit carried away with Vellum lol.... Card #2:  This card does use a vellum background (but you probably wouldn't know from this photo!)  I've used the beautiful Poinsettia Dies you can see the Subtle embossing folder in this close up photo, I love the "subtle" effect it has for the background, really softens it, which is what I wanted for this delicate card. Card #3 again uses Vellum, this time I've gone for Christmas, with t...

Cards for August Classes

Image
Hi there Creators, Well I've made the decision to re-commence classes in August in my classroom, with a max of 3 participants, (unless we get locked down further between now and the dates!) With that in mind, these are the cards we'll be creating: A couple of male'ish cards:  This Camouflage Background Stamp is such a fabulous background!  and the saying is from Happiest of Birthdays , which again is a fabulous stamp set, I like the way the sayings are so big, and clear. I've used one of the Holiday Rhinestone Basic jewels in the i of birthday, such lovely colours in these jewels! Card #2 this is the first time I've got round to using this " Whiskey Business" stamp set , and I really wanted to convey looking in through a window at the aftermath of a party scene, with the balloons ( Balloon Bouquet Punch ) bumping up against the ceiling and 1/2 a drink left. (hoping I achieved it!) Card #3 I've not used this stamp much either, from Ornate Style stamp ...
