Floral Mum Card

Hi Everyone

I am still loving the Flower Fair Framelits which I used for this Floral Mum Card

Combined with other Stampin' Up! products:

Reeds from Wetlands

Birds from Wherever You Go

Sentiment from Crazy About You

Large Letters Framelits & Letters For You Bundle

Gold Wink Of Stella

Marvelous Markers

The Stamp-a-ma-jig is one of my fave tool as it allows me to stamp exactly where I want. I also used the side of my Paper Snips to shape the larger flowers.

All Stampin' Up! products are available in our Online Shop

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like the card.

Shaving Foam Technique - Class Projects

Hi All

We had great fun at our recent card making class in Basingstoke using the Shaving Foam technique to create marbled background. It's quick and easy but can be messy.

The attendees re-created the 2 cards below and took home numerous amounts of prints ready for future projects.

We also made a few samples of other projects we made using the marbled backgrounds:

Hope you like our class projects and samples. If you live near Basingstoke, join us at one of our card making classes.

Stampin' with Picture Perfect for Challenges

Hi All

Just wanted to share a card I am entering to the Global Design Project #GDP044 - Case The Designer and CAS Colours & Sketches #181 Colour Challenge

I created a floral card with the sentiment customised from the Crazy About You set. I have CASEd the layout, gold details and splatter effects from Steffi Helmschrott's card with the colours from CC&S

Stampin' the flower from Picture Perfect set on Very Vanilla card, I used 2nd generation technique to achieve 2 shades of the Elegant Eggplant, Soft Suede for the shadows and gold glitter to the highlights.

The flourish is from Hopeful Thoughts set, stamped with Cucumber Crush and the splatter effect is from Awesomely Artistic set stamped with Soft Suede. I added extra glitter dots on the card base and Gold Wink of Stella.

I felt that the background was too much so I used Whisper White Craft Stampin' Pad to help tone it back down which worked great.

Hope you like the card and thank you for stopping by

Stampin' for Father's Day

Hi All

How are you today? I hope you're having some crafty fun and playing with all your new goodies. We all get stuck for ideas so please feel free to CASE what you see. Stampin' Up! products which were used to make these cards, can be purchased from our ONLINE SHOP.

Well today, I wanted to share with you the Father's Day cards myself and Jay made for our wonderful & amazing Dads.

This card was the one I made for my Dad. It was made by embossing the Kraft Card with the Woodgrain Texture Embossing Folder & adding some gold gilding wax to highlight the texture. I then stamped the Hardwood stamp on a small off cut of Whisper White card stock before die cutting the word 'Happy' from the Hello You Thinlits Dies. The sentiment is from the Crazy about You & the banner is from the Number of Years stamp set which I stamped out & die cut with the matching Large Numbers Framelits Dies. I have wrapped silver string around the card and entwined with the die cut 'Happy'. The banner is attached with Stampin Dimensionals and the whole card is mounted on Whisper White & Night of Navy card stock.

My Dad was really pleased with his card & I hope you all like it too.

Jay made this card for his Dad using the Retiform Technique - a technique one of our ladies from our twice monthly card class has asked if we can play with in a future class. To help with the blending around the edges, Jay used the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to draw the outlines and overlapped sponging can be hidden. He used the Lovely as a Tree stamp set to create this amazing card with the sentiment from the Crazy About You stamp set. The die cut leaves are from the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies which also has a beautiful matching Botanical Blooms stamp set.

I hope these have inspired you to try some or all of the techniques used. If you have any questions about Stampin' Up! products or our card making class in Basingstoke, please drop us a message and we will do our best to help you or just leave us a comment bellow.

Thanks again for looking & have a fun crafty day.

Mother's Day Card & Gift

Thanks for stopping by our blog. Today I would like to share the Card & Gift I made for Mothers day.

It's a little bit different to my normal style but I have recently found some new products and just had to play. I also wanted to incorporate Stampin' Up! products to show the versatility they have on any project you might be doing.

Firstly I wanted to play with crackle glaze, I know this is not a new product to many of you but it's the first time I've really played with it and been happy with the results. I've also found a new love for Gilding Wax. I've wasted money in the past buying cheaper products and not been happy with the results. So if you can pay a little bit more to get a quality product I'm sure you will be happy with the results.

Below is the card I made using crackle glaze and filling the cracks with gilding wax. I've also used the Flower Shop, Petite Petals and Itty Bitty stamps and punches from Stampin' Up! The flowers have all been coloured with Blackberry Bliss ink and the Aqua Painters to pull the ink out and give it some shading. To finish them off I've used the Clear Wink of Stella pens to give it the sparkle and Pearl Basic Jewels. The edges have been distressed to finish off the look.

I was really happy with the final result.

A handmade card wasn't the end of it. Whilst at the Make it Craft show in Farnborough last week, we had a play with Powertex and I needed to play with our goodies. So I decided to decorate a glass jar with this amazing stuff and once again used Stampin' Up products. I won't go into details about Powetex as it will take me to long to write. But if interested click the link Powertex to unleash a whole new world of crafting.

The Stampin' Up! products used to compliment this gift are the Itty Bitty Punch and Flower Fair Framlits Dies. I have only used the petals from these dies but it's got loads of other uses. It also comes in the Flower Patch Bundle. The sentiment has come from the Crazy About You stamp set which is another great versatile stamp set to have in your stash.

I had so much fun making these projects and I hope you've enjoyed looking at them. If you would like to purchase any of the Stampin' Up! products used please click on the highlighted products and it will take you directly to our Online Shop.

Thank you again for stopping by and for reading our blog. We hope we have inspired you to make something amazing and unique.

Thanks again

Stampin' Honeycomb Hello & Hardwood For Father's Day

Hi All

Here's my Father's Day card using the Honeycomb Hello & Hardwood stamps with the Hexagon Hive thinlits.

I stamped the Hardwood on white copy paper and turned it over for a more subtle effect. I then die cut a card twice, flipping it over on the second time to cut through more of the hexagon centre. After colouring the edges, I used Stampin' Dimensionals to raise the die cut from the cardstock.

I stamped 'You're The Best' sentiment and the heart from Honeycomb Hello on the hexagon off cuts, colouring the edges before adhering. For extra emphasis on the heart I used the dimensionals again.

The Father's Day sentiment is from Crazy About You, which is bigger than the off cuts, so I used the thinlits on a scrap card and cut around to get a bigger hexagon. I then joined the 2 hexagons together and stamped across both, using another dimensional to raise the right one.

I am entering this card to the following challenges:

Cardz 4 Guyz - 75 Father's Day

Stampin' Build A Birthday For Our Class

Hi all

Hope you have had a lovely weekend.

Last week was a busy week for us as we we had our first Stampin' Up! Class on Saturday 6 June. Everything went well and we are both happy with how it went.

A massive thank you to the ladies who came along to support us. I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

We just need to get some more interest in our little group. So if anyone is interested in joining us then please contact us for some more details. It will be a fun time and a chance for you to meet other people interested in crafting and off course I'm sure there will be biscuits or cake.

We wanted to show off the new Build A Birthday stamp set from the new catalogue and an easy box made using the Gift Box Punch Board. Both cards and box have been inked using the 2014-2016 & 2015-2017 In Colours Ink pads and card stock as well as whisper white card stock.

We hope you like what we planned.
