Something Saturday - Peekaboo Diagonal Cut Card

Image
 Hi there Creators As I mention in the video I was having a bit of a nostalgic wander through my old catalogue (that retired on 6th May) and came across a page that had a couple of fun fold cards.  So here we are today, trying one of them out.....  Theirs is landscape, mine is portrait but the measurements would be pretty similar just having the fold of the card in a different place. Here is mine: as you can see it's kind of a card in a card.  I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite ,  although I confess I haven't used the stamps & dies in this particular card!  The suite has Stamps, dies, 2 embossing folders, bling, ribbon, and Designer paper, all for $138.25 which I think is pretty good! (and just think with the new rewards system, you'll then have $13.80 to spend on your next order - make sure you've opted in!) If you watched the video you'll know that I accidentally added glue to the wrong side of my designer paper, so I ended up making this card with ...

Stampin' Blends (in the normal way)

Image
Hi Everyone, Well I know I wrote about the new Stampin' Blends the other day, but can't resist sharing some more creations with you! The "normal" way is where you use light plain cardstock (I've used Whisper White , stamp an image with Memento Black ink , and start colouring) As one of my favourite sets is Remarkable You Stamp set , I've gone with the flowers from it, I'll start with my favourite, the Lilies: this one uses the Daffodil Delight combo blends , Calypso coral combo Blends, and the Pumpkin Pie Combo Blends , and of course the Old Olive Combo Blends for the stems! Next up the waterlily type flower (I'm sure someone will know what it is!), this one again uses the Daffodil Delight, but then I've used some Pink Pirouette to create the delicate colour in the bottom of the flower, then some Old Olive for the stems again..... And moving onto the last flower in the stamp set, reminds me of a magnolia flower (although I'm pretty...

Eureka Stamper Challenge Day 6

Image
Hi Everyone, Woo hoo made it to day 6!  This one was to create something with our favourite current Stampin' Up! item (something that if it went missing we'd really miss!)  Oh my goodness what a condundrum!  I made something, but then of course looked at what others had said, and thought oh yes I'd miss that, and that........ I will admit that I'd have to replace my bigshot if it died (Oh yes I've already done that - lol) however that didn't make it into my card! So this is what did:  Teeny tiny Sentiments, whilst it might not be my favourite item, if I lost it I'd have to replace it because I use it so much!, and my favourite current Stamp is the Arum lily from Remarkable You stamp set , my most used punch is the Duet banner Punch , Oh and of course Wink of Stella - lol, so here's what I came up with:   I have used the Wink of Stella brush to paint on the colour (using it like an aquapainter), with the colour under the banner sayings I have p...
