On Monday I introduced you to the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Punch Bundle and promised another card made with it, this time a fancy fold called a Slider Pop Up Card.
The decsion for my color choices was made when I chose to use the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper – which uses 5 of the different greens available in the Stampin’ UP! color families.
Daisy’s are such cheerful flowers, I have a Shasta Daisy bush in my garden which produces flowers all summer long. I also have a South African Daisy which has bright yellow petals and a deep purple center – very dramatic…. and finally one of my Yorkie’s is also called Daisy, so you could say that daisys are a big part of my life!
Today’s card uses the Daisy Lane Stamp set along with a couple of my favorite punches, make sure you come visit me again on Wednesday when I have another card to share using the full Daisy Lane Bundle.
A couple of weeks ago I posted a card using a color combination that seemed unlikely but simply presented itself (check here) – well it happen again when tidying up my workbench………… Terracotta Tile paired with Grapefruit Grove – a couple of scraps I was putting away that suddenly said…. ‘just a minute’.…. there is something going on here!
So I went with it – putting a Very Vanilla Card layer in between to give it a little more definition. During my clean up I also came across a couple of flowers stamped and punched with the Floral Essence Stamp set – so it was just a case of pulling it all together.
Just want to wish all my lovely customers and followers a HAPPY July 4th holiday. I truly value your support and look forward to the second half of 2019!
Today I am late with my post – to be honest I am a couple of days late – but I have a good reason!
On Saturday evening our house was struck by lightening! A big flash, bang and the strong smell of ozone – it fried our cable service (internet, TV), all the switching powers supplies for various electronic devices ( including our phone service!) then a TV and the dishwasher! So we have spent the last couple of days piecing our lives back together – Friday we go shop for a dishwasher! 🙂
I have a video technique to share today which shows a simple but very effective technique – sponging – I use it a lot in my cards and other projects and I think it benefits from revisiting from time-to-time.
Once again I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink . Stamp . Share blog hop, we are a group of Stampin’ Up!®️Demonstrators from around the globe here to bring you inspiration through creativity!
You will have either arrived from Anastasia’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is 3D. ……………. oh and I just love to do 3D projects! So today I have chosen to do a home decor piece using the Magnolia Memory Dies from the new 2019 – 2020 Stampin’ UP! catalog.
Welcome to the Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, we are group of international Stampin UP! demonstrators sharing our ideas and creativity with you.
You will have either arrived from Lisa’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME. This month we have a ‘Sketch Challenge ‘ ~ where we have been given a layout for us to choose colors and a theme.
Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice but also because they have the 12 x 12 Page Protectors and Albums.
I was tidying my work bench – it happens from time to time, especially if I find myself looking for something that is really right under my nose if I just had not put ‘something else’ on top of it! I have often said that if I had just half of the time back that I spend looking for something that is right in front of me, I would get so much more done in a day……. can anyone else relate?
Anyway – as I say – I was tidying my workbench and found some scraps from the Garden Lane DSP from a project I had finished a couple of days before. I could not bring myself to throw them away, so pulled out some Whisper White Card along with a Garden Green Card base. I did not trim the DSP in any way, they are exactly the size and shape l picked up! 🙂
I shall be introducing my DSP share in the coming weeks – so watch this space!
At the beginning of June I held my Stampin’ UP! 2019 -2020 Catalog launch. Everyone made a couple of make-n-takes, got their copy of the new catalog and a little gift from me to thank them for coming and their on-going support for my card-crafting business.
The gift was a little decorated notepad showcasing the new Garden Lane Designer Series Paper as well as the new Timeless Label Punch. This has to be one of my most favorite papers in the new catalog – I just love all the fresh greens and how they all work so beautifully together…….. and don’t get me started on the Timeless Label Punch – I don’t think it has been out of my hands since the UPS man delivered it!
