Sale-A-Bration-Elementary Elegance Boxset

Hi Guys

I'm still using Elementary Elegance which I absolutely adore but this time it has a different feel.  I teamed it with the Paisley patterned paper to make 3 simple cards and a matching gift box.  The basic colour scheme is Soft Suede, Very Vanilla and Baja Breeze (all within the colours of the paper).  Simples!


Here are the 3 cards with the box.

Hello card, using the sentiment from Elementary Elegance.

I've used the large flower punch and the 5 petal punch for this card.

Very simple with only a pearl for adornment.  This card was inspired by Stampin Pretty who did a trio of cards and a little box, so cute!

Hope you liked it

Sale-A-Bration using Elementary Elegance

Hi Guys

Here is another card using the Elementary Elegance set which I absolutely love.  The colour combination here is Soft Suede, Basic Black and Whisper White.

This card using a technique called versamark resist.  You stamp whatever design onto glossy white card stock, let it dry completely then rub over it in the colour of your choice with a sponge dauber.  The area stamped in versa mark will resist the ink giving a lovely effect.  I've used the curly label punch to highlight the happy birthday sentiment.

Light was not great today so sorry about the funny colour of the card.

Here is one a little closer.

Remember this stamp set is only available when you spend £45 or more, it is not available to order.

Hope you like it.

Owl punch

Hi Guys

This gorgeous card is cased directly from Vicky's blog (Crafting Claire).  It is the cutest thing and whilst not exactly the same all the main elements were Vicky's idea. 

This is using the NEW and long awaited owl punch.  I haven't used all of the owl punch as I only needed the body to punch out the cute owl from Punch Bunch.  The backing paper is from Playdate DSP and the ribbon is Chocolate Chip grosgrain.  The sentiment is from So Happy For You another sale-a-bration set.  I used the markers to colour the owl so his eyes weren't coloured which meant I could stamp the owl friends with their little eyes looking to the side.

Wednesday Punches

Hi Guys

Just a very quick one today, have lots and lots on.  This card is super versatile and can be used for anything from Happy Birthday to Get Well Soon and it is so quick and easy.  I have used Delightful Decorations for the vase design, punched in out with the Decoration punch then cut off the bottom to make a vase.  The flowers are made first by stamping the Punch Potpourri set and punching out using the Boho Blossoms Punch.  For the background I have used a stamp from the Sale-a-bration set Sweet Summer in Certainly Celery.  CS used is Whisper White, Basic Black and Certainly Celery.

Alrighty, have a great Wednesday

Wednesday Card Classes

Have a lovely group of ladies that come to my card classes & they always end up being so much fun it doesn't seem like a class at all.  So thanks to my girls, you know who you are.  Here is what we made on 9th Feb class.

We used the colour combo of Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze which is just lovely.  Everything has been cased I think although not from the same people!  So thanks everyone for posting your creations, very inspirational!

Hi Guys

Well weather still isn't fantastic and everytime I go out I seem to get a bit wet, its playing havoc with my hair!  Have been spending a fair bit of time crafting which has been just great.  Made some Valentines Boxes for my son to take into his teachers (and he also wanted one for the lollipop lady, aw).

These were made using Pretty in Pink cardstock with the large swirly stamp from the Bliss SAB set in Versamark.  I have used the In Colour Blushing Bride ribbon and topped the box with the Amour from Artistic Etchings layered with the Oval and the Scalloped Oval punches on Crumb Cake, the tag is also Crumb Cake.  Conal was very pleased with them and although he really isn't keen on the colour pink, it was okay on this occasion and the boxes were for girls!

Thank Goodness Its Friday!

Hi Stampers! 
I have been spending a little bit of time messing about with boxes getting them just the right size for whatever I want to put inside them and to be honest, it has been a lot of fun!  What's even better is that I have a bunch of little templates for boxes whether they will hold small 3x3 notelets or square cards 10cmx10cm or whatever.  Am feeling very pleased with myself.

I have used the Bliss set which is one you can earn FREE during sale-a-bration when you spend £45 with Stampin Up!  The box is made using Basic Black cardstock.  The band around it is made using Very Vanilla cardstock with the background stamped in Sahara Sand. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black then punched using the Oval punch and mounted onto the Scallop Oval - pretty!

Get FREE stamp sets.  For every £45 you spend of fabulous Stampin Up products, you will earn a FREE stamp set.  If you have a few things to get this is absolutely the time to pick them up and get something FREE at the same time.  There are 4 beautiful sets available and no limit to the number of sets you can earn!
