Just a few more days before we celebrate Easter, I have used the Easter Bunny Stamp Set and coordinating Bunny Punch for a card a few days ago and I still have a couple of projects to share in the coming weeks – so watch this space!
This time I have used this bundle on a portrait Lazy Z funfold card, with a little bunny cameo on the front!
Continue readingI do love a fancy/fun fold card ~ so do the ladies who come to my in-person classes. I also like them to be as simple and easy as possible to make while still being impressive! Today’s card relies on the score/folds to achieve both of these 🙂
We also have some techniques going on, two step stamping, die cutting and creating our own decorative paper, there is a video to following along with to show how it all comes together!
Continue readingOne of the ladies in my Stampin’ UP! team recently promoted to Bronze Elite, it was my absolute pleasure to make and send a card to celebrate her achievement. I reached for the Copper Foil straightaway and paired it with Very Vanilla Card and the Two Tone Flora Dies. I was really thrilled with how it turned out and hope she liked it as well.

Today I am using the Easter Bunny Bundle for my card, this is such a cute stamp set, with 3 little bunnies, some cute Easter eggs and other useful decorative stamps and greetings, including a little grass stamp!. My card colors come from the Dandy Designs decorative paper – this was a Sale-a-bration freebie that is sadly no longer available, however there are other decorative papers available that would work just as well!
Continue readingAt a recent class I was asked by my card crafting ladies to share how to use the two types of Embossing Paste that Stampin’ UP! offer. It is a fun product to work with and while you can use any of the ready made masks/stencils available in the catalogs, it is fun to make your own! I used the Split Card Texture Dies to create mine then added some heat embossing on vellum and a little vintage’ing as well – so today’s card is packed with techniques!
Continue readingAlthough it is just a couple of days before St Patrick’s Day, we are on the threshold of examination season and I am sure there are students would love to get a four leaf clover for good luck and it is a very quick and easy card to make !
I have used the Lucky Clover Stamp Set with the coordinating Lucky Clover Punch along with traditional greens and golds but other colors would work especially if you used the school or college colors.
Continue readingEach month I take part in a Scrapbook hop, I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I try to take some elements from my layout to create a card to show how Stampin’ UP! products can be used for both card making and scrapbook pages. Check out the original scrapbook page I took the pull out section of the page and created this simple fun-fold card which would be perfect for an anniversary, birthday or valentine’s day.
Continue readingLast year I shared a video on how to use the Cracker and Treat Box Die, and created one for different holidays. It was such a lot of fun that I decided to make a St Patrick’s Day version featuring the Lucky Clover Stamp Set and coordinating Lucky Clover Punch to show that a cracker is not just for Christmas!
Continue readingI think I have shared before that I do love storage solutions for my supplies, it occurred to me that I have never shared the ones that Stampin’ UP! has to offer, so today’s post is all about those options. I also share a picture of my set up!
