{Stamped Easter Home Decor piece}

Hello there,

thanks for stopping by my blog today.

With all the changes to life brought on by the Covid 19 pandemic and then everyone in my household getting ill, the last couple of weeks have been a bit of a blur.  We are still unsure whether we had "the" virus, or just another one that was doing the rounds at the time.  It certainly left my husband and I feeling exhausted, however we are very much recovered and enjoying sunny weather, and very grateful for where we live.  

The children are officially on school holidays so not so much urgency to encourage them to do school work that has been set by teachers.  Easter celebrations have crept up on me as the usual reminders of seeing Eater decor in shops, lambs skipping in fields and roadsides lined with daffodils have not been there due to being quarantined.

However, last night I took a moment (about an hour) to make this Home Decor piece that is now on my mantle-piece.

It is full of the symbolism of the Biblical account of Easter, including blue flowers reminiscent of forget-me-nots, small red hearts to remind us of the love of Christ as he bled and touches of gold and purple hinting at his kingship.

Here are the stamps and colours used 

STAMPS 

Inspiring Iris, Colorful Seasons, Varied Vases, Tropical Chic, Timeless Tulips, Beautiful Bouquet, Swirly Frames. 

INK COLOURS 

Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Seaside Spray, Soft Suede, Poppy Parade, Highland Heather.

Here is a close up of some of the stamping.

Below is the video tutorial...

{One Sheet Wonder Wednesday - Floral Monograms}

I may have had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while.

As you know I love florals, and I also have a love of typography, so in this project I managed to combine both.

If you don't own a large letter stamp set, you can create similar effects with a Word Processing Program, enlarge some letter really really big, and print them onto Stampin' Up! card stock.  For the best results allow the ink to dry, and maybe even waft a heat tool over it to set the ink.

Enjoy the video tutorial.

One Sheet Wonder - fantasy bookmarks

Last weekend I had the pleasure of being in the company of over 400 Stampin' Up demonstrators from the UK and a few from as far as Australia.

We laughed and stamped and were inspired by each other and also a sneak peek at the new products that will be coming out in January.

If your wish list for SU products ever gets higher than £99, its worth considering joining.  For £99 you can choose £130 of product and get a discount for any subsequent orders. Contact me for a no pressure chat.

One of the things we do together is swap.  So I made some card fronts, bookmarks and little packages, and I received lots of inspiring makes back.

Here are some bookmarks I made using the Painted Harvest and Colorful Seasons stamps, Bermuda Bay, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, and Wisteria Wonder ink pads.

They were created using the One Sheet Wonder technique

You can watch a speeded up video here... its less than 2 minutes! I really can't stamp that fast!
