Celebrate you .....

I was super excited to se the celebrate you thinlits carry over to the new annual catalogue. These are perfect for a card to celebrate any occasion you care to. Here the idea was celebrating someones achievement with the addition of the 'you did it' sticker.

The colour scheme here is Mint macaron, Grapefruit grove and Fresh fig. These colours were are the guidelines for last weeks Global design project colour challenge. I love this challenge as there are so many fantastic projects to see, however I often miss the deadline so here we are sharing the card I made ... but missed the bus as it were !!

I used the Delicate details memories and more cards here, using a laser cut detail card as a stencil for my backgrounded the sticker sheets held the simple but effective ' you did it'.

Inside another complete memories and more card was simply adhered to a layered background... these memories and more cards are great for creating fast yet awesome cards. See how this one has a watercolour wash look to it... amazing.

I hope you enjoyed this card and take a good look at the Delicately detailed Memories and more cards.

Celebrating Sale-A-Bration Global Design Project #127

Today I am celebrating two of my favourite Sale-A-Bration freebies. I adore our copper foil sheet and so when I saw the Springtime foils had copper in the design I was delighted. I think this years free items have been especially pretty and I love how some items we get to keep. The Celebrate you thinlits are one such rarity...a Sale-A-Bration item we get to see carry over into the new catalogue in June.

This weeks Global Design project theme is Sale-A-bration so what a perfect excise to show off these beautiful products. I created a very simple no fuss card, yet the products and the copper foiling make it look special.

My card is standard 11 1/2" x 4 1/8" scored at 5 3/4" to form the base. I then cut a sheet of the Springtime foils which measured 5 3/4" x 4 1/8" and sliced out a 1 3/3" mid section ... just enough for a tiny copper foil strip and a sentiment, also cut from copper foil.

In all i think a clean cut elegant look. i do hope you will give this card a try yourself. All products used are listed below. Also please do go over to the Global design Project blog and check out the other entries via this link

Celebrating you card Stampin' Up! products

I was super productive over the weekend and managed to make a batch of cards I needed for two team promotion reward packs AND a swap I am in to showcase the Sale-A-Bration sets. Two birds one stone, I just made a batch to cover both needs.

Pink and Black are my two favourite colours and nothing pleases me more than seeing them both together. I think they are a match made in heaven and so wanted to use them in my design. There is a lot of Melon Mambo around in Stampin' Up! papers etc this year and I seem to have caught the Melon Mambo bug, so this again is my focal colour.

The card is so simple yet it looks amazing. One stamp set and matching die, one ink and a decorative border punch. I used the Amazing you free set and matching thinlits. The stamp is unassuming upon first glance it is a real gem, its co-ordinating thinlits just add that wow. Both items available free during Sale-A-Bration. The ribbon border punch adds a pretty element to the card and I think without it the card would look plain and a tad boring. This punch just adds a special finishing touch I did cut my stamp layer smaller than normal to allow for the border element to be added.

there is a step by step Youtube tutorial for you to follow and recreate this cards... grab a brew get comfy and enjoy the video.

Hand coloured congratulations card

I like to keep my team inspired so every week I hunt for a card or sketch for them to follow. This weeks was one I simply selected at random from Pinterest. Pinterest is a fantastic resource for us to use to grab ideas to keep our creative Juices flowing. I do advise taking just a glimmer of inspiration but not directly copying...that's too easy. So here is my card from the one I found. The original one is here and a beautiful card...

I created mine using falling flowers stamp set which I totally adore, and combined with the Sale-A-Bration freebie thinlits celebrate you. I actualy made my card using up left overs on my desk cut for other projects then not needed. A practice I try to do regularly to save build up of those dreaded scraps !

I am not the best at colouring using alcohol markers, its early days for me I am still learning, but I think they give brilliant results even for a novice like me.The alcohol pens come in a full set or you can buy individuals or duo's . I advise buying in duos as then you get the light and dark shade together. The colour lifter/ blend pen is an essential it really makes your work look seamless.

I hope you enjoy this card , remember Pinterest is a fantastic resource, you can find all my work on there too. Just click the P icon ion my right tool bar and then click follow so you dont ever miss any of my projects and also other things I collect on my boards.
