Thinking Of You Card using Stampin Up "Touches Of Texture" Stamp Set.

Hello and Welcome,

Today I have a great card that is perfect to send to friends or family to let then know how much you love them, it even makes a great sympathy card.

Colour combo is Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White and Copper Embossing, all together creates a really simple but beautiful card.

The Copper embossing against the Blackberry Bliss is very striking, and is my favourite part of the card. I don't often use the copper, but it is one I think pairs so beautifully with the darker backgrounds I might just have to make more of an effort with it.

High Tide Box

Hello and Welcome,

Today's project comes from the Annual Catalogue page 145, and uses the "High Tide" stamp set.

This box measures 3 1/2 x 5 x 1", and is perfect for gift packaging. 

So much can be put inside this box, whether it be a present, gift-card or just filled with treats. This to me is masculine, but could be easily changed, pastels would look fantastic!

Simple but Stunning Card using the "Bloom By Bloom" Stamp Set

Hello and Welcome,

I am so happy to have you here today, I have a very basic card that is so simple but also looks fantastic! Although I am usually drawn to bright, happy colours, I have gone with Merry Merlot, Shaded Spruce and Pool Party as my colour combo, and they go together so perfectly.

Teaming the "Bloom By Bloom" stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue and the Friendly Expressions Stamp set from the Annual Catalogue, I love how this card came together!

This card would also work so well with all the sentiments in the Friendly Expressions Stamp Set, or any you already have in your stash.

Adventure Awaits using Stampin Up's "En Route" Stamp Set

Hello and Welcome,

Today's card is another CASE from the Annual Catalogue, and I love this suite so much I had to CASE from it again, it is from the "Best Route" Suite on pages 52-53.

The bright colours from the suite is what I love the most, but it is perfect for masculine, travellers cards and the main reason I purchased this set was for scrapbooking my travel albums.

This card is pretty versatile as the sentiment could be changed to any sentiment, but this card makes a great card for a loved one who is going on a holiday or a new venture!

I hope you have enjoyed today's card, it is the second card from this suite that I have featured, if you would like to see the other one, please click HERE

Have a Great Day!

Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop - May

Hello and Welcome,

Today I am taking part in a Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop, although there is no theme, we are all using current Stampin Up products.

Did you see in the Occasions Catalogue on page 50 -51 the stamp set called "Family and Friends", so cute, I knew I had to purchase this one, not only to recreate my own family in the frame, but also for my family scrapbooks. 

The best thing about this stamp set is that you can cater for your whole family, I will say though, my children who are 20 and 17 didn't like looking like they were 5. HAHAHA

I did have to stamp my family twice, because on the first one I made a mistake and thought, no one will notice!!!!

Of course they noticed it in 2 seconds, how fast did you pick it!!!

The Bearded Mum, HAHAH, oh well. I did stamp the family again and I am happy how it turned out, this stamp set is so fun!

Make sure you hop all the way round. So many lovely projects to inspire you.

Thanks for stopping by today

Have a great day,

Bight, Fun Card using the "Thoughtful Banners" Stamp Set!

Hello and Welcome,

I have such a fun, bright, happy card today, that could be given to someone special for so many different reasons. The card has been made with both tone on tone stamping and also stamping using the Memento ink, which I will say is my favourite. 

Thoughtful Banners stamp set has many wonderful stamps that can be stamped together for a great sentiment, or used by themselves to create a card like I have today!

"Hello Friend' Card using Stampin Up's "Wood Words" Stamp Set

Hello and Welcome,

It's CASE the Catalogue day, and I have an adaptation of a project for you. In the Annual catalogue on page 163, there is a crate with 3 x 3" cards inside, although this project is gorgeous, I don't use smaller sizes cards too often, so I thought I would make the same card, just in the regular size.

This is such a sweet card for a friend, and the colour combo is so pretty with Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral, Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake and Wood Texture DSP.

This card looked so good as a 3 x 3 " card, but I think it makes a really nice larger card too, what do you think?

The insert cut out of the DSP with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits will feature in a upcoming tutorial on Thurs 23rd May, so keep an eye out for that video.

Thank you for visiting today, I hope you like my slightly different CASE today, I will be back on Thursday, so I hope you can join me then.
