Oh my! How lovely is this Gorgeous Posies kit by Stampin' Up!?

Introducing the Gorgeous Posies Semi Inclusive Card Kit

I just wanted to introduce you to this semi-inclusive card kit. Stampin’ Up! have created a truly stunning semi-inclusive card kit called Gorgeous Posies that was launched back in June in their annual catalogue.  What I love about this set is that they also released the Gorgeous Posies stamp set to be used with this kit, but can also be used as a standalone stamp set.

When you receive this kit, it is all packed inside a lovely keepsake box that can be used again once all the cards have been completed.  This lovely kit has everything that you need to create sixteen cards (four of each designs).   The keepsake box contains card bases, co-ordinating envelopes, die-cuts, ribbon and twine.

Stampin’ Up! have also provided a full colour instructions sheet so you will be able to recreate the cards, or you can be creative and use the products to do your own designs.  In addition to the kit and stamp set you will need to use the co-ordinating Stampin' Up! ink pads

I truly enjoyed using this set and at the end I still have several elements left over to be used in other crafting creations.  Why not pop back tomorrow as I will be posting again showing you what I created using this kit as part of the Crafty Blogs Hop.

Please see below the supply list of the products used in these projects:

Happy Crafting

Ink.Stamp.Share. Special Blog Hop - August

So what have I been working on lately?

First of all, thank you for visiting my blog from Cindy's blog and secondly, welcome to my first Blog Hop with Ink.Stamp.Share. I was truly excited to be taking part in this Special Blog Hop and it is here you will also see fellow Demonstrators showing what they have been working on for the past few weeks using various Stampin' Up! products.

So what have I been working on lately?  Recently I was asked by my Father to create two sympathy cards to send overseas (had to omit Dimensionals to keep down costs).

I knew instantly which Stampin’ Up! stamp set I wanted to use as I had wanted to buy this as soon as it was launched last year - Very Versailles.  I love the script and the elegance of the frame and the leaves and I knew this set would involve me using gold Stampin’ emboss powder as soon as I saw it, even after all these years I still smile when I watch it melt and see the finished item.  

The frame involved me doing some good ole’ fussy cutting (it’s like Marmite – you either love fussy cutting or you hate it) which I love doing, I find it so therapeutic.  

Due to these Sympathy cards being sent to the United States, I had to reduce the thickness of the layers, I usually get a bit Dimensionals happy but this time I only used them on the heat embossed frame  The frame involved me doing some good ole’ fussy cutting (it’s like Marmite – you either love fussy cutting or you hate it) which I love doing, I find it so therapeutic. 

To show just how versatile this stamp set is, I also created a ‘40^th Birthday’ card, a ‘Thank You’ card and a ‘Bride & Groom’ card using the same colourways as the Sympathy cards.  They needed a little something extra added to give them and extra bit of bling, so I randomly (I struggle with ‘random’ so I call it ‘organised random’) placed several Metallic Pearls on these cards.

Here are the Stampin' Up! products that I used to create these cards:

Thank you and I hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog, please hop over to Kirstie's blog to see more inspiring work.

My Sunday Rewind Revisited - Pop Up Card and Mini Smarties

Welcome back to my blog, as you will see Last Sunday I had great pleasure in sharing what I had created at the beginning of Lockdown on My Sunday Rewind post.

In the week I showed you how I recreated the Scrapbook Page and today I want to show you the Pop Up Card and Mini Smarties Caddy that I had great joy in recreating. 

I must admit I was a bit unsure of how I wanted this card to turn out, so I just stamped loads of images, die cut them out and then I found it all just came together and I was happy, happy, happy!

When I previously created the projects, I had used Designer Series Paper but there were no co-ordinating papers for the Nothing’s Better Than products, so I decided to use the 6” x 6” Subtles Designer Series Paper (DSP) on the Mini Smarties Caddy.

  

Once I had finished assembling these projects, I needed to give them a nice little covering of Wink of Stella to add a bit of shimmer.

I know that I will be returning to the Nothing's Better Than stamps and dies on a regular basis as there are other projects that I want to create as I still haven't finished playing with them.  Why not follow my blog and watch this space over the next few months to see what other projects I will be making for you all to see?

 Please see below the supply list of the products used in these projects:

Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to seeing you again.  For more information about classes, workshops and Stampin’ Up! products, please do not hesitate to contact me.

My Sunday Rewind Revisited

On Sunday I posted 'My Sunday Rewind' which was about three projects that I had made in the early days of lockdown - a 12” x 12” scrapbook page, Pop Up card and a Mini Smarties Caddy.  The Stampin’ Up! products that I had used retired in the original post when the new catalogue launched, so I thought it was only fair that I recreated them using current Stampin’ Up! projects.  Any excuse to craft…

I found it quite easy to decide that I wanted to use Nothing’s Better Than stamp set with the co-ordinating Love You More Than dies by Stampin’ Up!

When I was creating the scrapbooking page it just flowed and came together so well, trust me this does not happen very often when I craft.  The three colours - Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Mint Macaroon were the perfect colours for what I wanted to achieve; I already knew which three photographs I wanted to use as I had had them developed recently ready to scrap with.  

I used the Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Mint Macaroon and a Sponge Brayer to create the colourful background that was needed to create a background for the photographs to be mounted onto, so I had a little brainwave of using the raised side of the Tasteful Textures 3D embossing folder and Crumb Cake ink pad to create my own background.  

Using various stamps in the set and Smoky Slate ink pad I created a background for the base page, stamped several images that I die-cut out and mounted using Dimensionals.  To add a little bit of sparkle I gently brushed over the stamped pieces using the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, just enough to add that little something.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at My Sunday Rewind Revisited and hope you will come back to look at how I have recreated the Pop Up card and Mini Smarties Caddy.

The products I have used include:

Happy Crafting!

My Sunday Rewind

There is nothing I like more than waking early and seeing that it is nice and sunny, as I live in the UK it makes such a difference.

I was lay in bed pondering on what to do and was just thinking about how little crafting I have actually done during Lockdown.  At the early part I did have several days of non-stop crafting but other than that and a further two more full on craft sessions nothing really.  As I feel this has been a great start to my day, I plan to have a Sunday Rewind on a regular basis.

Having scrolled through the photo gallery on my phone I found these three projects that I would like to share with you, sadly the products that I used have been retired from the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue but I will post later this week the projects that I have made using current Stampin’ Up! products.

So here are My Sunday Rewind projects:

12" Scrapbook Page

I love scrapbooking, it is one of my crafting passions and how I got into papercrafting, but I am very guilty of not doing it as often as I would like too, I have got better as I now order my photo’s on a monthly basis through the Freeprints website as I get fifty free photographs a month and this is a great start.

Once a month prior to Covid, I held a monthly scrapbooking workshop at my shop, each month there would be a different scrapbooking kit and this really helped me to get scrapping!  I find that being organised really does help me to craft, I am the world’s worst procraftinator!

In addition to scrapbooking I enjoy card making and creating 3D projects, I love the challenge of coming up with new ideas for my monthly Cards & 3D class, since I temporarily closed The Crafty Corner Shop back in March I have missed the challenge of thinking of new ideas.

   

Now I am all excited and off to my Crafty Cabin to recreate these projects and I look forward to sharing them with you!  Should you want any further information and what I have done or the Stampin' Up! products that I have used please do not hesitate to contact me.

Happy Crafting!

Alison
