{HAPPY NEW YEAR and some Daisy cards from a stamped One Sheet Wonder}

Happy New Year!

Inspite of the challenges of 2020, my heart is full of gratitude for continued sustenance, friendships old and new, family and their development and Hope for the future.  I'm hugely aware of the deeper challenges and sorrows that have and continue to face each day.  Praying you will know peace and strength if this is you.

The next few weeks are likely to become quite busy for me as we move home (locally).  I'll endeavour to keep you informed of Stampin' Up news.  Please be aware that other platforms tend to get updated sooner than this, so follow my channel on YouTube here and my page on Facebook here.

In a few days there will be a new catalogue to feast your eyes on. Be aware that because of recent Covid restrictions there are delays.  Do place orders, however don't stalk your UPS delivery person to early!

Here are some cards I really enjoyed making last year.

Love this colour combo, the warm tones of the Bumblebee and Cinnamon Cider with the cool blue of Coastal Cabana make a harmonious palette.  

The other winning combination is the stamp sets, Beautiful Friendship and All Things Fabulous look beautiful together.

Here is how I stamped the paper

To see how I made them here is the video

{Stamped One Sheet Wonder collaboration with Susan Levasseur from WOW Nola Creations}

As some of you know, I have enjoyed stamping my own pretty papers for a while now. Over the last few years I have developed a lovely friendship with the super talented and delightful Susan Levasseur of Wow Nola Creations.  We both admire each other's work and are frequent visitors to each other's YouTube channels.

A few months ago I had the idea of stamping some paper for her to make some cards with, I was overjoyed when she said yes to my idea. 

I asked her for some colour scheme ideas and filmed myself stamping them and sent them to her. To our dismay about 2 months later the parcel hadn't arrived and I had to face the prospect of stamping some more.  Then thankfully a few weeks ago it arrived and I am pleased to share with you a sneak peek of Susan's card and the video of me stamping the background.

Can you see my paper peeking through?

Ingredients:

STAMPS: Blossoms in Bloom, Gorgeous Posies, Inspiring Iris and Waterfront

INK COLOURS: Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Soft Seafoam, Pear Pizzazz, Seaside Spray and Misty Moonlight.

To see how I stamped it watch this short video here...

I am so excited to show you Susan's video making a card with my paper...

Please go and have a look at Susan's blog post with lots of fab pictures of the card she made {here}

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - In Colours 2020 - 2022}

Welcome to my blog, today it's blog hop day!


Today we are focusing on the new In Colours.

They are Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight.

They are available in the ink pads, card stock, some embellishments and marker pens.

A lovely addition to the Stampin' Up! colour palette.

The colours are deep enough that when stamped 2nd, 3rd and even 4th generation the results are deeply satisfying.

Recently I have enjoyed stamping flower wreaths or garlands to create home decor pieces.

Here are some close ups, after laying down some testured stamps from Textured Essentials, I used stamps from All things Fabulous to "colour in" the images from Tasteful Touches and Jar of Flowers

As I was stamping the big wreath, I "stamped off" onto a piece of card atthe side of me and created a collage of images.  I then stamped flowers from All things Fabulous in Misty Moonlight to create this bright card.

To watch a sped up video of my process see below

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Favourite Saleabration items

Hi there and welcome,

wow, I hadn't realised I had not blogged for so long! So sorry about that.

I have been busy creating on my YouTube channel, so if you don't follow me over there it's worth a visit here

This month all the hoppers are focusing on Saleabration.  For those of you who don't know what that is, it's the time of year Stampin' Up! give away FREE products.

Here are the 3 I have used today... sorry couldn't pick just one! They are all FREE with qualifying orders.

Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper

 

Power of of Hope Bundle

Small Bloom Punch

Please watch the video to understand the process for making these.  Sometimes I like to get a few co-ordinating papers and products and only use those.  I created my own background papers from the stamps from Power of Hope then had some fun cutting and gluing strips.  I used some Gold Foil cardstock and the gold faceted gems for some accents.

It was fun using up my scraps to create this little gift bag.

Thank you so much for popping over, please check out the other hoppers here...

Stampin Sunday Blog Hop - Peaceful Poppies Suite

Welcome to this week's Stampin Sunday Blog Hop.  We are featuring products from the Peaceful Poppies Suite.  It has already proved popular amongst demonstrators and customers, and I have found the Painted Poppies stamps to be really easy to use, especially loving the splatters.

I created 2 sheets of one sheet wonders.  The first I used to create this bag.

The other sheet was used to make these cards, the first one would be easy to make by a beginner crafter. It shows off  the stamping and has a minimal amount of extra embellishments, I particularly liked these as they were FREE, during Saleabration this lovely pack of embellishments can be yours after a qualifying purchase.

Using the die set, the stamped poppies can be cut out, and other shapes can be cut to embellish your card.  Do you spot the leaf wth the white detail?  That leaf is actually from the Peaceful Poppies Elements kit, it's perfect for people who don't have a die cutting machine as there are lots of precut elements that can be popped out.  Some are white embossing on watercolour paper and can be coloured.  The leaf below was inked with Blackberry Bliss to match the cardstock,

This card shows off a few more of the flowers from the elements kit.

Here is a video of my process

Enjoy!

{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.
