I don’t think to use white ink at all, so when I was seeking inspiration for a color combo for my recent card buffet my eye fell on the Whisper White Craft Ink Pad which I paired up with Night of Navy and the Uniquely Artistic Stamp Set – I just loved the sort of monochrome ‘smoky’ effect it gave especially with the outline stamps in the set.
Continue readingToday’s card just uses card and paper – no stamps, no ink……………… just paper/card!!!. I used the decorative paper pack, dies and embellishments from the Hello Irresistible Suite to put together my card, this suite is an online exclusive and I have put links below so you can add it to your next order!
Continue readingOf all the decorative paper packs in the 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalog Texture Chic has been my absolute favorite – I lost count of how many packs I bought as I used it in a lot of classes! It is about to retire so I wanted to share one of the designs before the end of April. Pale Papaya is also about to retire from the in-color family so I am giving that a final showing as well.
Continue readingToday I have 2 cards to share, both made using the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack and featuring the Artisan Additions Dies with the Celebrating You Stamp Set ~ and there is a video to go along with them. 🙂
It also gives me a chance to use the new punches released as part of Stampin’ UP!’s online exclusive products 1 3/4 and 2″ circles ~ these are favorites that have been reintroduced and I have put a link below so you can order yours!
Continue readingI am really in love with this quick and easy fun fold, I think this is the 3rd time I have shared it, each one with different colors and themes, that is the beauty of making a card yourself – you can make it to any theme and occasion!
Today I have chosen to use the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set and coordinating punch, with some Wink of Stella and a Glossy Dot for my bling!
Continue reading‘Hello‘ is such a happy word, it is the start of something new – a conversation, new friend or a new discovery. My card today will work for just any occasion ~ even to send ‘ just because’! I have chosen some bright ‘tropical’ colors to compliment the Tropical Hideaway Background Stamp and added a cute flower to finish it off.
Continue readingI have a ‘go to’ layout I like to use occasionally, particularly when I have a little creative block ~ I find once I have my basic pieces cut the rest will flow from that.
Today’s card uses that layout and you will probably recognize it from previous posts. I have combined the Petal Park Stamp Set with the coordinating punch with the Celebrating You Stamp set for my greeting along with one of my favorite subtle color combinations to show the same layout for an anniversary card and one for Easter, there is also a video tutorial to follow along with 🙂
Continue readingThe Framed Florets Stamp Set has everything I love – flowers and greetings in a pretty cursive font. I have used it for today’s card which is monochromatic and just verging on the vintage side without having lots of sponging so is a very easy and fairly quick card to make. Since the stamp set has different greeting such as birthday, celebrate and friend – the layout and colors could be used to cover different occasions.
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!
