Suite Showcase #2 - Awash in Beauty

Welcome back to our second blog post where Joanna (from

Purrfectly Creative) and I share the projects we have made using Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper and Art Gallery Stamp set.

It was lovely playing with this Designer Series Paper as I truly am a fan of fussy cutting and there is one sheet of paper that allowed me to spend ages cutting all around the flowers and leaves before making a card.  In addition to a card, I also made a scrapbook page that I will be sharing at a later date.

             

This first card shows off my favourite embossing folder called Timeworn Type, I use this so often as I am a massive fan of typewriter font, teamed this up with copper foil to make a wonderful background for the card, I was then ready for the designer series paper to be added after I finished fussy cutting it out.

For this second card I simply embossed Basic White card then stamped the flowers (Fresh Freesia ink), leaves and greeting (Granny Apple Green ink) out and added them onto the card using mini dimensionals.  

By using the Designer Series Paper it allowed me to have a ready made background for thie third card, so I could simply add some more fussy cut flowers and the die-cut greeting as a finishing touch.

Well I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created and if you pop over to Joanna's blog you will see what she has made using the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper.

Look forward to seeing you again on 7th February for another Suite Showcase.

Suite Showcase #1 - Hues of Happiness

 

Welcome to the first post of the Suite Showcase and I am looking forward to sharing with you the projects that I loved creating.

I have had a lot of fun crafting with this suite and the other lovely products from Stampin' Up! and this is what I made...

For this months Suite Showcase we have made three cards showing you a variety of ways of using the products we selected for you.

Card One

This card shows the selection of stamped cardstock which was cut out using the Cut-n-Emboss die-cutting machine.

A close up of the card to show the detail of the Wink of Stella to add a little bit of sparkle.

For the second card, I chose to use more of the dies and did a cut out background

Close up - Card Two

I loved heat embossing directly onto the beautiful Designer Series Paper and a little stamp on the inside of the card which I coloured using a Stampin' Up! Blending Brush.

Inside Card Two

For my final card, I wanted to show and alternative to Card Two by just die-cutting the background and fussy cutting the flowers and leaves out of the Designer Series Paper.  

Card Three

Again I couldnt restist the urge to Wink of Stella over the flowers in order add a bit of sparkle.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I hope you have enjoyed the projects that I have created. On the 14th January (2pm) I will be participating in the Stampin' for Christmas Blop Hop where I have used this collection to create Christmas Cards.

If you have liked any of the products that I have used, you are able to order the products used in these projects directly through me in a avriety of ways -  directly through my online Stampin' UP! store or by contacting me to add to my order if you are fairly local.

So this is the end of the first Suite Showcase and the next Suite Showcase will go live on 21st January at 1.30pm.  Here is the link.

For this blog post I will showing you another batch of cards (see upcoming blog post) that I will be using to send out to my team members this month using products from both the January and June Mini Catalogue plus the Sale-a-Bration brochure.  I love Sale-a-Bration as it is the time of year when Stampin' Up! rewards customers with free products for every £45 that they spend. 

Quite Curvy stamp set and Curvy Dies 

I chose to incorporate the colours (Granny Apple Green Rococco Rose, Blackberry Bliss and Bermuda Bay) from the Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Papers Oh So Ombre that you can choose FREE of charge from the Sale-a-Bration brochure for every £45 that you spend.

So currently l am working on this...

Thank you for stopping by as you enjoy your Ink.Stamp.Share Special Blog Hop.  You may have started your journey with me or hopped on over from Jo’s post, which ever it is I am happy to see you.

So what am I actually working on???

Well, if I’m honest it should be what am I not working on as at the moment I am on a mission to use as much as possible from the August to December mini catalogue as last weekend I was excited to see a copy of the new upcoming January to June Mini Catalogue (just let me know if you would like a copy!)

The other day I was part of another blog hop which involved using the Tag Buffet kit in the current mini catalogue, I had made up a full set of tags, created eight Christmas chocolate boxes but I didn’t want to stop there so I just had to create these little 3D boxes.

These boxes were so simple to make once I had decorated the tag front, and I managed to fit three Lindt chocolates into each one.

 

As you can see from the images below the Tag Buffet kit contains more than enough elements to get your creative juices flowing and or you can just make the tags up as you get very easy to follow instructions inside every kit.

Well thank you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  It is now time for you to carry on with you Ink.Stamp.Share blog hop and head on over to see what Sue is working on.

Thank You card for the Demonstrator Training Programme Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to another Blog Hop for the Demonstrator Training Programme which is being run by the lovely Kylie and Bruno Bertucci.

I chose to make this card for a Starbucks friend and as my good friends know I am addicted to Starbucks Egg Nog (although coffee doesn’t like me) and their merchandise.  She always lets me know the exact date that it will be coming into store and when all the seasonal merchandise arrives.

For my Thank You card I chose to use Stampin’ Up!s Press On Stamp set from the August to December mini catalogue.  I love this set so much and when it was launched my team members were messaging me to tell me to look at the page it was on as I am addicted to cups.

Today would have been my mother’s eighty-fifth birthday but she passed away four years ago after losing her fight with breast cancer.  This morning I popped off to Starbucks to purchase my Mother’s annual birthday treat (obviously for me) as she was a really big fan of Christmas.

Hope you all are enjoying this blog hop and hope to see you all again very soon.

Happy 85th Birthday Mum

Today would have been my Mum’s birthday but sadly she passed away four years ago after her fight with Breast Cancer. 

For the past four birthdays, I have always treated myself to something to remind myself of my Mum.  She was a big fan of Christmas, so last year I treated myself to Starbucks Egg Nog Latte and a Pandora cup charm.  Due to Lockdown #2 in the UK I was unable to go into the Pandora Store but that treat will happen shortly.

My Mum’s birthday is two days before Remembrance Day so I thought I was very fitting to create a Poppy themed Birthday Card, I also plan to just write a small message inside about what is happening in life so one day in the future my Grandchildren can read them.

I bought these Stampin Poppy Moments dies a while ago and I finally got around to using them yesterday to make this card.

As I was crafting for this card I had so many other ideas going around my head and I cannot wait to get my craft on some more.

Well thank you so much for reading this post and I hope to see you very soon!

Hello and thank you so much for dropping by on this rather chilly day in the UK, the weather has definitely started to step away from Autumn to head towards Winter, I’m not a fan of Winter but it certainly does mean one thing… CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!

I am really looking forward to Christmas, as a Nana with three beautiful (yep, I am biased) Granddaughters I could not resist creating their Christmas cards for this post.  My middle granddaughter Isla is four years old and in love with the Disney film Frozen so that is where I got my inspiration from.

I truly enjoyed making this card, so three cards later cards later they are ready for their goodie boxes on 1^st December.

Just wanted to say I really do appreciate you taking the time to read my blog posts, it makes the work involved worth it.  Have a lovely time hoping and enjoy looking at the wonderful creations by Jo.

Masculine cards for the Crafty Blog Hop

 

Hello and thank you for stopping by, it is lovely to see you.

How lovely to be crafting a male card for the Crafty Blogs, it is one card types that I struggle with creating as I only have my father to send a male card too.  This card will be used for my father once I have added ‘Dad’ to it.

I knew I wanted to use the Sprig Punch from the Annual Catalogue and incorporate it with the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set.

For the holly I chose to heat emboss using the gold powder onto Old Olive card and heat emboss the berries onto Real Red card and fussy cut the out and attach on top of the Old Olive.

   

Just wanted to say thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your hop.
