Anyway, today I thought I would show you one of the Kits from Stampin' Up! which has everything you need to start stampin, all you need are some scissors and you are ready to go.

In the kit you get 9 cards to design 3 of each or you can change it up, you get an acetate box to put your finished cards in, the stamps needed to stamp the designs and sentiments, the ink needed, a stampin block, glue dots, foam pads, bakers twine, and elements to decorate the cards, you also get an instruction sheet.





Once you have made your cards you have plenty left over to make some more with items you may already have in your craft room. So you see if you are new at stampin and creating cards these are the Kits for you to get you started.

Hand-Penned Petals take 2

 Hi Crafters,

Hope everyone is well and getting on with life as best as you can.

Well as promised here is another Hand-Penned Petals card☺️






Today I used items from Sale-a-bration to compliment the Hand-Penned Petals stamps and dies.

I used some DSP called Beautifully Penned which is free with a £45 order. This paper is black and white, so you have the opportunity of colouring it what ever colour you want. In the pack you get 4 sheets of 3 designs which of course are double sided.  I chose a sheet which I could colour in using Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen blends, two of the the new in colours.

I also used some of the Be Dazzling Speciality Paper which again is free with a £45 order. This one comes in  6x6 pack with 8 sheets. I really love this as you can also colour it, which I did again  using my Soft Succulent blends. It looks like glitter paper but the glitter does not come off!





I love the Be Dazzling paper so much that I will be adding a pack to every order I place over £45 before it comes to and end at the end of September, you have to see it in real life to really appreciate it.

As for the rest of the card, I stamped the flowers onto basic white card stock with Memento Black ink and used Pale Papaya and Polished Pink ink to fill in the flowers and Soft Succulent ink for the leaves., all these colours are the new In Colours. It was then die cut with the dies that come as part of the bundle using my mini Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine. The sentiment was also stamped in Memento Black ink. I popped up the flowers with some Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added some of the new in colour ribbon in Soft Succulent and coloured some Rhinestone Basic |Jewels with the Soft Succulent blends to finish it off.

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

Hand-Penned Petals

 Hi Crafters, hope everyone is well.

It’s been a long time since I last posted, I have been very busy with work and family life and losing my mojo, hoping now that’s things will slowly get back to a new normal with lots more crafting.

Today I have made a card using the Hand-Penned Petals suite. I really do love this set, i will be posting more makes along the way.




For the card base I used Daffodil Delight card stock. A Designer Series paper is also part of the suite which I used to mat onto the card stock the then the other side of the DSP for the centre panel.




One of the flowers was stamped onto basic white car stock and the cut out using the lovely Tailor made tags dies, which I really love too.

The flower was stamped in Memento Black ink and coloured in coordinating blends and markers to match the DSP. Daffodil Delight and Mint Macaron Blender pens and Blusing Bridge Marker pen. The sentiment was stamped with Garden Green ink. 

I used some retired gold ribbon to loop through the hole of the tag and then added one basic rhinestones for some bling.

I got the idea for this card from Karen Ksenzakovic but put my own spin on it.

I hope you like it, until next time not too long this time I hope.

Happy Stampin xx
