Irresistible Blooms Stamps and Hello Irresistable Designer Series Paper

 Hi Crafters, I hope you are all well.

Today I am sharing a card I made with some of the online exclusive Hello Irresistible Suite which is available to Purchase now, check it out in my online shop. 




I used basic white card stock for the base and cut some soft sea foam card stock for the mat layer.  I cut one of the sheets of the DSP into strips to fit the soft sea foam mat and stuck them on leaving a small boarder in between each strip.  This idea came from a project I did at a recent team retreat that Michelle Last created for her team, which as always was a fun time and looking forward to the next one :-). 

I wrapped some of the soft sea foam ribbon near the top before popping it up onto the card base.






I stamped the flower with versa mark ink and covered it with white embossing powder and heat set it it.  I then used a light daffodil delight blender to colour it in and rubbed off the excess ink.  The leaves were stamped with old olive ink and both the flower and leaves were cut using the coordinating dies.




The sentiment is from the stamp set and was stamped using basic grey ink. The flower and the sentiment were popped up with dimensions and the leaves were laid flat underneath the flower.  I finished it off with some iridescent pastel gems from the the fancy flora suite,  I totally forgot that loose frosted dots are part of the online exclusive but it still worked well.

I hope you will take a look at the online exclusive suite as it is so beautiful, if you do ensure you are shopping with me using the following link  https://www.stampinup.uk/?demoid=5004197 

I hope you like the card, until next time, Happy Stampin xx

Sweet Citrus Bundle

Hi Crafters, I hope you are all well.

Today I am sharing a card I made with some inspiration from a recent team retreat I attended headed by Michelle Last using the Sweet Citrus Bundle.

When I first saw this bundle I was not feeling it, until Michelle had her team event and used it for one of the projects.




I used some craft card and an envelope, both which are not Stampin' Up! products.

The card base was embossed with the embossing folder which is part of the bundle. Some Vellum card stock was used as one of the layers along with some basic white card stock, both of these were cut using the deckled rectangle dies.

The limes were stamped with various shades of green ink refills on baby wipes before being cut and embossed with the hybrid embossing folder and dies. The leaves were also stamped with various shades of green inks and cut using the accompanying dies.






The small flowers were stamped with crumb cake ink and cut out using the dies. The inside layers were also cut using the deckled rectangle dies from basic white and parakeet party card stock. Evening Evergreen windowpane ribbon was used to tie around opposite corners of the basic white card on the front.

The peekaboo treat bag was also embossed using the embossing folder which was done at the retreat by Helen Broxap which I thought was a really good idea, thanks for that Helen :-).

The sentiment for both the card and the treat bag were stamped on vellum card stock using StazOn black ink.

The envelope flap was also embossed to finish it off and some in color opal rounds in soft sea foam were used to put into the centre of the flowers.

Thanks to Michelle Last and Helen Broxap for the inspiration and making me fall in love with the sweet citrus bundle, I hope you like it, until next time, Happy Stampin xx

Two-Tone Flora and Something Fancy Bundles

 Hi Crafters hope you are all well.

Today I am sharing a quick and simple card using the new Two-Tone Flora bundle and the Something Fancy Bundle which can also be purchased as a complete suite.





I used Basic White card stock for the base, and stamped the flowers in Balmy Blue and Pool Party Ink as its a two step stamp set. The flowers were then die cut using the accompanying dies.

I stamped the leaves in Evening Evergreen ink and used the accompanying dies to cut them out I  stamped the sentiment on the card base in Gorgeous Grape ink.





I cut the frame out of some Gorgeous Grape card stock using the one of the smallest Deckled Edge rectangle dies. I then layered some of the double sided Fancy Flora DSP beneath the frame, as you can see the colours coordinate lovely.

I then finished it off with some of the iridescent pastel gems and a small piece of the Pool Party Ribbon, all which are part of the bundle. 

I hope you like it, until next time, Happy Stampin xx

True Beauty

 Hi crafters, hope all is well with you all.

Today I am sharing a card made with the True Beauty bundle.





I used the True Beauty Stamp Set and Dies to create this card.  The base of the card is balmy blue which was layered with some basic white card stock and some of the Awash in Beauty DSP  I then layered that with some more basic white card stock balmy blue and basic white again, so may layers :-)





I then stamped the flower head with polished pink ink and the leaves with granny apple green ink.  The buds where stamped in balmy blue ink and all where then die cut with the coordinating dies, they were then popped up onto the final layer on the card front with foam pads.

I stamped the sentiment with memento black ink onto some basic white card and used the label me fancy punch to punch it out along with some balmy blue card stock to give it a layer.  I wrapped some white bakers twine behind the sentiment before mounting it on foam pads.




Finally I sprinkled some iridescent basic pearls to finish it off, the idea came from a card made by 
Kylie Bertucci, I hope you like it, until next time Happy Stampin xx

Nature’s Prints

Hi crafters, I hope you are all well and doing ok.

I am back to share another quick card with you using the beautiful Sun Prints bundle.


                                                                                                                                                                   


For this card I used basic white card stock for the base and cut off an inch from the front panel.  I took some  of the gorgeous sun prints designer paper and cut an inch of that to line the inside edge of the card.





I stamped the large leaves on basic white card stock using starry sky in colour ink and die cut it out with the dies. I stamped the ferns onto the card front again with starry sky in colour ink and popped up the large leaves with some basic white twine behind it.

The sentiment was also stamped with starry sky in colour ink and I sprinkled some retried rhinestones in night of nay on the front.

Another simple but elegant card which i hope you like, until next time Happy Stampin xx

Framed Florets

 

Hi Crafter's I am back with another card to share, this time its a new set from the new mini catalogue called Framed Florets, I love this bundle as there are so many beautiful cards that can be made for the floral lover.




I used Basic white for the card base and stamped the flowers in memento black onto some more basic white card stock. I coloured the flowers with dark and light petal pink blends and the leaves where coloured parakeet party light and dark blends.

I then mounted the basic white onto some soft succulent card stock and then mounted that on to the card base.




I stamped some of the small flowers onto some basic white with memento black ink and coloured them also with light and dark petal pink blends.

I fussy cut them out rather than using the die as they would have had a bigger white border around them. I arranged them on top of the stamped images and finished them off with some basic rhinestone jewels which I coloured with the light petal pink blends.





The sentiment was stamped with memento black ink and of course some extra rhinestones were sprinkled on top to finish it all off.

I hope you like it, until next time, Happy Stampin xx
