{Stamping Florals and Geometricals on a One Sheet Wonder}

I've been having lots of fun over on YouTube doing what is called "lives".  It's been really fun getting to know viewers from all around the world as they're able to comment and ask questions as I stamp.  If you use YouTube please subscribe to my channel, and click the bell button to get notifications on your device of when I go "live".

Here is a long video of a process that took about an hour, I ended up stamping 3 sheets and making 8 cards from them.

 STAMPS USED: First Frost, Painted Glass, Lilypad Lake, Beautiful Friendship, Waterfront (splatters)
 COLOURS USED: Sea Side Spray, Purple Posy, Pretty Peacock, Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green, Mint Macaron   

If you haven't got time to watch the long version please watch the shorter version below.

Here are the cards I ended up making.

I thought you might like to see the full sheet before I cut it up.

My usual card size is A6, however because I wanted to show off this stamping I made 2 A5 cards.

Hope you enjoyed looking at these.  If you have been inspired by what you see and would like to share your creations with others then please join my Facebook group Artful Stampin Space here.

{One Sheet Wonder stamping diagonally and what I made from them}

Hi everyone, this post sharing the results of a YouTube live video which can be found here... be warned it's very long. However if you would like to hear the explanations of my thought process when stamping, you may find it useful.

Here is a faster version

Here are the results of the stamping session

Colours used: Poppy Parade, Balmy Blue, Rococco Rose, Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam

Colours used: Melon Mambo, Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam

Colours used: Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue , Seaside Spray

Over the following few days I cut up the stamped sheets and created these cards.

 

I then did two more YouTube lives where I showed how I cut up the sheet and matting layers.  Again they're both quite long videos, but worth watching if you would like the details.

Here is how I cut up this sheet

and here are the matting layers with lots of rectangles cut out of them.. yes I'm that frugal!

And here are the cards

Well, if you're reached the end of this blog post you deserve a medal!

Thank you for sticking with me, I hope it's inspired you to get your stamps out and play!

{Paper pieced Super Hero Card}

So excited to share this card with you.

Often when it comes to card making I end up choosing products that I like the look of to make cards that are pleasing to me.  However when making a card for a specific occasion or person, you have to set aside your personal preferences and work harder to create something that will be meaningful to the recipient but will also satisfy your personal creative standards.

I searched on Pinterest for various icons associated with various characters, then tried to create something similar.  I ended up with this palette of primary colours and combinations of various shapes.

I used a sponge with a little dab of black ink around the edges of the circles to help make them stand out.  The colours I used were Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade, Pineapple Punch and a little piece of Balmy Blue/

These are the circle punches I used.

Here is a short video of how I put the card together.

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Happiness Blooms}

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

Thank you for popping to my blog from the lovely Yvonne.

It's the Sunday blog hop and we have a wonderful selection of cards and projects using the Happiness Blooms Suite.

It's packed full of bright colours and retro floral styling.

Here are 3 approaches with various elements of the suites.  The first is a set of 3 small cards - these were really simple to make, only requiring the Memories and More pack that accompanies the suite, a trimmer , card and some adhesive. 

The second project is this bright and fun card highlighting one of the little floral punches.

The third project is stepped up a bit further. I fussy cut some of the leaf stamps so they could flow from the focal point.

To see how I put the cards together, please have a look at my video here.
