-{Easy Grid Card Technique}-

I've been prepping for a stamping technique class, and have been working on how to get the most out of your stamps...however I know that some of the ladies coming to my class like to watch my videos, So, although we'll be doing something like this next week, I'll be doing something extra with them.

There are more classes and events added to my calendar, please take a look {here}

This is the little card, however, you can have great fun with this technique and create bigger grids.

Ingredients:
Kinda Eclectic stamp set
Cajun Craze, Soft Sky, Smokey Slate
Whisper White, Cajun Craze and Naturals White card stock.

-{FREE paper!}-

I'm quite sad the Saleabration period is over, there were some beautiful stamps and papers on offer.  However, never fear, Stampin' Up have graced us with another fantastic offer for April only.  A choice of 1 set of papers worth £9.95 with a purchase of over £45.

I also just want to remind you that the Spring Mini catalogue ends at the end of the month, and I have no idea what will be making it into the main catalogue next year, so if there is something you love please get it now.

Here are your choices...

Berry Blossom (Spring Mini)

 Pocketful of Posies (Spring Mini)

Beyond the Garden (Idea Book and Catalogue)

Nursery Nest (Idea Book and Catalogue)

This is the card I made for my mum for Mother's Day, love the combo of grey with yellow.

-{ French Foliage: part 1 }-

Bought this set a couple of weeks ago, I had seen it used so beautifully on other cards it had been on my wish list.  This card only remained in my possession a few days, as a friend bought it as soon as she saw it!  I'll have to make another one!

I masked off the central area with a sticky note and scored a square with my Fiskars paper trimmer using the score blade (available through Stampin Up).  The flower is one from the set of Paper Daisies, you get 40 in a packet of various sizes.  They are really easy to colour as the come plain white.

For the men...

Had a play with the stamp set Need for Speed and the Well Worn papers.

The Decorative Label Punch is so versatile for creating small shapes as well as the standard one it punches.  To do this, use some tape runner to stick a long piece of scrap  paper to your first punch out, then position and then punch.

Claire's Colour Challenge...

on In love with Stamping, was to use Cajun Craze, Marina Mist and Crumb Cake.

I actually made this card last week before going to London, I had the great intention of photographing while I was down their and uploading it, we have already been back from London for three days and I've just got round to it!

I used my blender pen to wipe off the Cajun Craze from the stamp, then coloured in the Marina Mist before huffing and stamping.

Thank you card and notebook

Made this card and notebook for a friend using a technique I am completely hooked on!

More Flowers!

One of the things I was determined to do when I became a Stampin Up demonstrator, was to still be true to my style and the type of cards I enjoy making.  Although I have been really enjoying getting out of my comfort zone and trying new techniques and products, it was lovely to return to 3D flowers and leaves and a pretty butterfly.  

I'm loving the blender pen to fill in parts of the butterfly.

I'll be demoing this card at my new Colour Class tomorrow and on the 23rd.  This one is using 3 colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel.
