Earlier today my blog post shared about the new Colour your season bundle... well here is my first creation using the set. I went for a friendship card in pretty Summer colours.
I used the new watercolour pencils and the tufted Dynamic embossing folder to create this lovely card. I couldn't resist the copper foil butterflies which are part of the tea room suite..... fluttering around the flowers these add a touch of glamour to an otherwise subtle card.
I do have a fun and full process youtube video for you to follow along to so why not grab a brew, get comfy and enjoy the video. All products used are listed below simply click to brows them in my online shop.
Have fun creating and ... happy stamping xxx Amanda
How much fun is this stamp set !!!! brilliant I love it. I created this fun card especially for the lovely Ian Potter, a fellow UK demo who helps me run the facebook craft form Stampin' for all. Ian set a card case challenge or us to follow and this is what I came up with.
I love fun cards life is way to short to take things serious a little bit of silly now and then goes a long way in my book. The Animal outings is a great set with cuts fun animal image and some really great sentiments. There is a whole suite focused around this with fun Designer series paper available too.
I chose to just use the stamps on this card and stamped my own background using Shaded Spruce ink. The images are stamped in Granite grey a great outline colour. Te images were given a pop of colour using the Stampin' Up! watercolour pencils. A great artist I am not but combined with the Stampin' blender pens the pencils give a nice smooth finish.
Finally to make my centrepiece stand out a border was stamped using the swirly frames stamp set again using Shaded Spruce. What fun card to send to anyone ad for any occasion ... even just to say hello.
I hope you enjoyed this card all the products used are listed below. Feel free to come on over and find our Stampin' For All Facebook group and perhaps meet Ian and join in our challenges.
Since I moved house I now have the most amazing garden full of greenery and stunning plants. I love nature and this Stampin' Up! catalogue has some amazing nature themed sets.
For this project we used the Rooted in Nature bundle, stamp set and co-ordinating framelits. A fantastic set to use and with a double box of stamps in the set and embossing framelits as well as cutting ones, the creativity is endless.
I paired up the Soft Suede card and the natures poem DSP with a hint of Bronze to help those brown tones pop. We have a tiny bit of Champagne foiled card in there too for an added touch of luxury.
The burlap ribbon was used as an added accent to bring out a rustic feel and I think it came together nicely.
A simple notebook, covered with a touch of luxury what could make a better gift for any occasion. If you would like to see exactly how this was made, and how the embossing framelit parts work, I do have a fun step by step video tutorial. So why not grab a brew get comfy and enjoy the video.

I adore crafting, and making new and fun items. These mini shaker wands are really fun and easy to make. And we don't need any foam tape either!
How cute would one look added to a card or a gift set your giving, use them in planners or layouts, You can add these as an embellishment to just about anything.
Not a new idea I just miniaturised this one and utilised our fab new scalloped circle punches. These punches are a cute and handy size for lots of things, especially this mini shaker.
We don't need foam tape here as we simply layer up punched out circles and glue them together, sandwiched between window sheet layers with another punched circle on the outside to enclose everything. I used sequins here and to be honest they are a tad large, I would prefer smaller sequins or seed beads, maybe even glitter ?
I punched out 8 circles in total two for the outer and 6 to make a thick layer in place of foam tape. This project is too mini for foam tape hence the layering. Start by punching a plain 1" circle into some card then over that re punch using the 1 3/8" scallop circle punch and VOILA ...repeat and layer. Punch out 2 x 1 3/8" window sheet for top and bottom layer.
I did add a 2 1/4" punched larger scallop using a non Stampin' Up! punch again punching 1" circle first. You could miss this out or use any shape, size, punch or die to create these. I finished of with a simple bow using my Bow builder punch and hot glued by stick to the bottom , covering at the rear with a small circle of card so it looks tidy. My sticks are mini cake pop sticks bought cheaply in my local area. I would suggest looking in the UK in pound shops or Home bargains etc in the baking section. You can even cut them down and get two from one stick using good scissors, they are merely compressed paper.
I do have a full step by step Youtube tutorial for you to craft along to so, grab a brew get comfy and enjoy the video. Links to products used are below and you can shop 24/7 with me via my shop here button to the right....
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
Another amazing free stamp set from Stampin' Up! from our 2018 Sale-A-bration extravaganza. I love this one as it gives us a water colour smooshing effect in a controlled way.
I sat and created lots of cards with one of my team member ready for customers over the next few months. I made the decision to use up my HUGE stock pile of 2016-2018 in colours card stock. These colours are set to retire at the end of May and so I didn't want to have any left over. I also need to check I have re inkers for all my 2016-18 ink pads. I love them and will continue to use them and keep them in my collection, so I don't want to run out! If you have these in your crafty collection be sure and do the same. Before long these will be in short supply and then .... gone for good.
Such a pretty card and so simple to do, i created a whole heap in a short space of time. cards don't have to be complicated. Sometimes we can let them just breathe and let the colours speak for themselves.
I do hope you enjoy this card and will give it a try at home. Come join me as I create this card on my Youtube channel, share the process and some chat and fun too. Go grab a brew, get comfy and enjoy the video... don't forget to top up on those 2016-18 colour supplies, I have left links below...
