{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.

{Stamping Sunday Bloghop - Gingham Gala Suite}

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop! 

The first one of 2019, I'm looking forward to sharing some inspiration using products from the 

Gingham Gala Suite

It's a beautiful spring coloured suite, and great for any lovers of butterflies... ahem like me.  I cannot resist them!  Especially when the designs are so intricate.

At the Stampin Sunday Blog Hop we've decided to slightly change what we present to you.  We recognise that some of you may be at the beginning of your crafting journey and have limited supplies, and the rest of you could be anywhere from a beginner to a super avid crafter, with lots and lots of supplies.  To make sure we inspire all of you we are creating 3 projects from the same suite.

Here is my first one, only stamping and 3 inkpads.

The second one requires the use of the co-ordinating butterfly punch and some dimensionals.

And the 3rd one requires all the previously used, with some extra products and a lot more time.

 

Here is a video tutorial with a few tips.

Do have a look at the other wonderful inspiration from this international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators.

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Wrap it Up}

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop!

I'm so grateful and honoured to be part of this wonderful group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators and creatives.

The theme is "Wrap it Up" - to get you inspired for wrapping up your Christmas gifts.

I decided to make some highly decorative and textured tags, and use them with the fabulous packaging Stampin' Up! has to offer.

To be quite honest I love snowflakes and wanted an excuse to use a lot of them.

Here is a video tutorial with a few tips.

{Stampin Sunday Blog Hop - Holiday Designer Series Paper}

Hello there, and welcome to another Stamping Sunday Blog Hop, today we are focusing on Designer Series Paper from the holiday catalogue. There are so many beautiful ones in there this year.  I have choosen to create a card and envelope from the Frosted Floral Paper.  As usual it is so much more beautiful in real life as it has this pearlised sheen to all sides of the papers.

I got the idea for this card from a lady who participated in my Christmas Challenge in September.  The central portion looks like it is attached by magic! I assure you it's not and when you know how you will love it! I took lots of photos to show you as it really needs to be seen from lot of angles to appreciate it.

Here is a video tutorial on how to  make the card

As the card ended up a little thick, I decided to make a boxelope for it... I know I made up a word! it's basically a very slim box, I used the envelope punch board to do this.  I often use this website here to figure out the measurements. I then created a belly band for it and decorated it with carious die cuts to match the card.

For more wonderful inspiration, have a look at the blogs of the fabulous demonstrators below

{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 -
