--{Inspired by My Fair Lady - Floral cards}--

Hi there, we have been enjoying/enduring some hotter days here in the UK, and have recently got back from a holiday with family and friends.

While I was away I scheduled some videos on my YouTube channel, including one where I made these cards with Stampin' Up! products.

I made the black and white paper "ribbon" using the glimmer paper in the July to December 2022 mini catalogue.  Unfortunately I used a couple of embossing folders that have retired.  However we have plenty of others to choose from, and many designs would work on a card like this.

The initial idea was inspired by the dress Eliza Dolittle wears to the Ascot races in the film My Fair Lady.

The flowers were created by colouring punched out flowers with Stampin' Blend markers.

The purple flower was created using the ladybird punch multiple times.

Here is the video of how I made them...

{OSWW tutorial with Magnolia Blooms and Very Versailles Stampin Up sets}

Have you noticed a pattern?  I used this gorgeous Magnolia stamp last week.  I just love it, and I'm only just getting started, I've not even had a go colouring it yet!

Anyway, here I've paired it up with the divinely gorgeous Very Versailles.

I used Seaside Spray cardstock with Black ink and Seaside Spray ink.

Yes, just 2 colours.

Enjoy the video!

These are some of the other things we made last night.  I showed the ladies how to do the two step stamping, and they all oooed and aaahed over how to use the Stampamajig!

We also made a personalised notebook.  Used the Fun Flowers die to cut the flowers, sponged the edges with basic black and "cupped" the circle with the end of a pencil and stuck it on with 2 dimensionals.  The ladies had great fun with the Stampin wheel to make a background which I then cut up for them to use.

It's arrived and I've played!

My lovely Starter Kit arrived on Tuesday, I just had to capture the moment, so here are some pictures...

I swapped some of the recommended stamp sets for ones that I thought would be more useful for me, and also choose some different coloured ink pads.  The kit is fantastic value for money even if you wanted to save money on some crafty goodies.  Click here for more info on how to get it.

Initial thoughts about some of the products.

My first reaction to the Very Vanilla card stock was that it is to light weight for making a card base.  After a discussion with my fab upline Claire, she explained that the Very Vanilla and Whisper White card was for stamping on and then sticking onto the coloured card. I have to admit the stamped images on that card looks superb.  Apparently if you like to colour with Copics the colours do not bleed as they sometimes do with other card. 

Here is one of the card's we'll be making at classes this month
