Stamp Around Uk VLOG hop - Using a sketch

I know this blog post is a bit late (hangs head in shame).

I've been taking part in a video hop once a month, and this was the project I created for October's theme.

The lovely Janice gave us a card sketch to design around.  If you have never used a card sketch I highly recommend it.  It's a great help if you have lost your mojo a bit.

Here it is

When a sketch has a lot of detail on it, I approach it by trying to have a simple colour palette and use shades within it.

Here you can see I have gone for an aqua and purple theme.  I used Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party as they matched a stamped One Sheet Wonder I had previously created.

After choosing the colours I gathered various dies, I looked for tag and circle style ones and floral and leaves.  After I cut a whole load out I had fun assembling the cards,

I used some co-ordinating sequins to finish them off.

Here is the video that I filmed

{Purple Flowers and Unicorns}

Hi, and welcome to my blog, have you had the chance to be creative today?  If not, I hope these projects will give you some inspiration.

I'm playing catch up with various projects and videos I have created and not got round to blogging.

Here are a couple of projects that were just screaming out to be shared together as they have purple in common.  The first is a birthday card I made for my daughter.  I stamped a whole sheet of card then used just a quarter of it and mounted it onto a A5 card base (basically an A4 piece of card folded in half).  The main focal point is the unicorn from Leave a Little Sparkle, then I used various other stamps to decorate around it including Abstract Impressions, Very Versailles and Pop of Petals.

There are 2 versions of the video tutorial, here is the faster edited version

and here is the longer one, with all the mistakes I made along the way.

This second card was inspired by a friend who loves purple and butterflies.

I used Butterfly Wishes, Beautiful Friendship and the swirl from Leave a Little Sparkle.

The colours are Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Purple Posy (discontinued) and Gray Granite

Here is the sped up tutorial set to music...

and here is the longer "real time" one.

{One Sheet Wonder Wednesday - Magnolia Blooms meets Beautiful Friendship}

After using the Beautiful Friendship set last week, I've become quite obsessed with it.  So much so I had to see how it married up with another new set called Magnolia Blooms.  Now if it looks familiar, but you haven't noticed it in the catalogue, that's because it isn't in there!  It is featured in a brand new mini catalogue for beginner stampers.  Please let me know if you would like a copy.

 It contains these lovely floral elements and 3 very useful sentiments.

I had the idea of using the rose elements of Beautiful Friendship to "colour in" the Magnolia flowers.

Here is the video of the stamping and making of the bag.

Hello there, and welcome to my blog.

Granny Apple Green

Gorgeous Grape

Bermuda Bay

{One Sheet Wonder Wednesday - Butterfly Gala and Artisan Textures}

Hi there, so if you are wondering what happened to last week's One Sheet Wonder Wednesday... I have a confession.

I got to the end of last Wednesday and realised I wasn't prepared enough to do a video and blog, so I cheated a bit.  I went live on my YouTube channel and made these...

If you would like to see the process you can watch it here...

For this week's One Sheet Wonder I used the gorgeous Butterfly Gala and Artisan Textures.

These are the colours I used.

I cut my sheet into 4 and created some cards, I'll probably stamp some sentiments on later.

Here is the video...

and these are how the cards turned out.

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Stamparatus}

Hello, and welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop featuring the Stamparatus.

It is my absolute honour to be invited to take part in this again, do remember to have a look at the other blogs in this hop for more creative ideas with the Stamparatus (not long now to be able to order one).

The first project is a card with a background created with the Stamparatus.  I know it's quite subtle, however if you look closely you can see that the Marbled Stamp mage is more than one colour.

Here is how I did it

The next project is a bag, again I used a bit of the background I had created before, then I used the Stamparatus to create a repeat border all around the top of the bag... I promise it really is all the way round!

Here is how I did that...

Do you spot some new products? As well as the fab new colours, I also used some gorgeous new embellishments in the way of coloured pearls and faceted gems, aren't they yummy?!  If you can't wait till June to get your hands on these, then how about joining the Stampin' Up! club? For £99 you can choose £130 of product, and these sneak peek items are on the list of what you can choose.

My online shop is open 24/7 -
