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...

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...

Hi there Creators, If you order my ClassCards@Home kit this month you'll be receiving these cards to create at home, for each of these, you'll need to use your own Stamps, Inks and Glues but I'll be providing all the papers pre-cut along with instructions and videos.  Click on the link below by Friday 1st May to order and pay for your kit, I will get the kits all organised over that weekend and mail them out on Monday 4th. With Mothers day on the horizon, I thought this might be suitable with a appropriate saying, you'll be choosing a colour and saying that you have at home.  This card uses the beautiful Tasteful background dies , and the really pretty Woven Threads Sequin Assortment .  Oh and also the Stitched rectangle dies .  I've called this card "Tasteful Things" Card #2 could also be used as a Mothers Day card if you wanted to, this one uses the Tropical thinlits , and I did discover that the Label Me Fancy Punch does sit nicely on top...

Subtle Embossing Folder

Hi Everyone, I've had a couple of questions about the new Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder , Oh there's a mouthful and 1/2!  I'll just call it the Subtle embossing folder from now on...lol The photos in the catalogue and online are very uninspiring!  however if you like texture, you're going to love this, to make it show up in photos, I inked up the folder with a bit of Crumb Cake ink , so you can actually see it. I inked up both sides so I could check both out, as it does look different on each side (subtle'y different - oh I know *groan*) So then I thought I'd better make something with it too to show it off, pretty much anything that would look nice with a bit of texture would look good with this I reckon! I've teamed it up with the Tropical Chic bundle , and I'm so pleased with the way it turned out, I even got a "that's not bad, I don't mind it" from the hubbie! (high praise lol) What do you t...
