Love Hearts Week | Distress Resist Congratulations Card

Love Hearts Week Distress Resist video tutorial using So In Love from Stampin' Up! UK

Love Hearts sweets Video tutorials

Ok, so it is Wednesday, and today – even though it is Love Hearts Week –  I have a card project for you, because I couldn’t not share this card with you almost as soon as I had made it!

One of the many ways I find inspiration on a daily basis is YouTube, and one of the very lovely people I follow is the gorgeous Jennifer McGuire (I am going to try not to sound like some sort of crazy fan-girl now….) she shares some fabulous techniques, but she doesn’t use Stampin’ Up! inks…. so I like to test out her ideas using Stampin’ Up! products. Which is what I have done today.

Love Hearts Week Distress Resist video tutorial using So In Love from Stampin' Up! UK

This technique is really very simple; select your stamp (always a good place to start!) I love using line images for this, but you could totally use something more solid too. Ink it up in Versamark and stamp in onto Whisper White card stock. Heat set it or leave it for a while to dry, and then sponge ink over the top to get this cool, delicate effect.

You could totally add white or clear embossing powder after the Versamark to make a more vibrant image too.

And those blank Enamel shapes…. you’ll have to watch the video to see how I made those!


Question of the Day: What is your current favourite YouTube Channel

I don’t think I could possibly choose, I am enjoying watching fitness and diet theme-d videos at the moment

Scored on the long side at 1, 2, 3, 4″ (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 cm)

The heart mask is super easy to create too, I used the sweetheart punch to punch out a piece of Grid paper to use as a mask. Then use stamps (I used the small heart from Jar of Love) to stamp around the heart in Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral and Watermelon Wonder. Lovely!


Question of the Day: What is your favourite Valentines sweet treat?

I’m a sucker for anything chocolate-y, My Mr. usually buys me Thorntons for any occasion, although I dread to think what he is buying me this year seeing as we are both on a major diet 🙁

It’s only the greatest Stampin’ Offer and event of the whole year! Sale-a-bration is in 3 parts;

Sale-a-bration team blog hop Using Carried Away Lift me Up and Designer Tee from Stampin' Up! UK

I have been playing with the Lift Me Up! bundle for months, (its been in my inky fingers since September last year when I was asked to make samples with it for the On Stage Local event in Telford!) but I have not got tired of it yet! It coordinate perfectly with the Sale-a-bration item; Carried Away Designer Series Paper which I have used in the background. I am currently taking every possible opportunity to use my favourite colour; Mint Macaron, before it sadly retires in June (get your refills now!)

The Sentiment is from another one of the Sale-a-bration items. Designer Tee, is designed to coordinate with the Custom Tee stamp and die bundle in the Spring / Summer catalogue, but I love that the sentiments fit with heaps of other stamp sets and occasions too. Side-note; how true is that sentiment!

I hope that you have enjoyed hopping along with me today, please click on the images below to check out the other ladies blogs!

Question of the day: Which one of this years out-going In Colours are you going to miss most?

I am totally devastated to loose Mint Macaron, I have just about everything crossed that it might find its way back to us at some point…

Lucky to have a Special Reason

Special Friend Card using Special Reason from Stampin' Up! UK

I rarely get chance to make a card simply for the enjoyment of making, although I never make anything I don’t want to make just so I can blog it (although there are many projects I have made an not been a massive fan of once completed that have appeared here on my blog!). Anyway, a few weeks ago I decided I would just play, get out all my new stamps and just have fun….. and this card is the result.

Just Because card using Special Reason from Stampin' Up! Uk

This stamp set, Special Reason, was an all attendee give away at Stampin’ Up! OnStage back in November, and I immediately fell in love with it. However, paired with the coordinating framelits it’s even better! Stylish Stems includes a heap of great dies, that can be cut in various ways (and I love that Stampin’ Up! have made a video so I don’t have to!)

I am so looking forward to getting some time over the weekend to CASe some of those samples, quite fancy-ing a combination of the stamps and watercolour…. hmmm

Special Friend Card using Special Reason from Stampin' Up! UK

I’m loving this colour combination too… I am all about the colour, its one of the many reason’s I love Stampin’ Up! the fact that I can grab inks, card stock and embellishments that are all the same colour is a big bonus for me! So the colours on this one are;


Aren’t they pretty? Click on the colour names above to see a whole heap of coordinating products in that colour!


Question of the Day: Tea or Coffee?

I’m a big coffee fan. I LOVE my Tassimo machine, although I’m supposed to be on a diet at the moment so my Tassimo pods have become something of a treat!

Global Design Project 071 – 3D Squishy bag!

Global Design Project 3D challenge Pop of Pink squishy bag

I LOVE taking part in challenges! I am trying to join in with the Global Design Project every single Tuesday (which to be honest is a challenge in itself!) but I am currently also challenging myself in other ways too, I think 2017 might just be the year of the challenge!

Global Design Project 071

I will openly admit that this challenge scared the pants of me (and I almost didn’t bother this week!) 3D is a really struggle for me, I am not blessed with that skill of being able to see a 3D project and then make it! and I had a quick look through my die collection, but there is nothing 3D in there either….. so I turned to Pinterest and remembered THIS fabulous project by my lovely friend Sam, I had been meaning to have a go at this bag, well this was my opportunity!

Global Design Project 3D challenge Pop of Pink squishy bag

The bag itself is really simple;

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 12 x 6″ (30.5 x 15 cm)

Score on the long side at 3 3/4, 5 3/4, 9 1/2 and 11 1/2″ (9.5, 14.5, 24, 29 cm)

Score on the short side at 1 1/2″ (4 cm)

gdp-071-pootles-bag

I have used the Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper (which I have been hoarding, because it is just so damn pretty!) and it sent me onto a bit of a Gold kick! The panel on the front of the bag is 2 x 2 3/4″ and I coated it in Versamark and heat embossed it in Gold embossing powder! The layer on the top is 1 3/4 x 2 1/2″ of Whisper White, and I’ve used the Swirly Bird stamp set to add a touch of Flirty Flamingo (all that Gold was getting a bit too much!)

Thanks so much for checking out my little corner of the internet today, and I hope to see you again soon!

Make It Monday | Cute card using Sweet Cupcake from Stampin’ Up! UK

Make It Monday video tutorial using Sweet cupcake and watercolour pencils from Stampin' Up! UK

make-it-monday-banner

Welcome to Monday! I do hope this week is totally awesome for you…. I can make it even more awesome of course! Have you checked out my most recent Online Card Class yet? This class uses the fabulous Sweet Cupcake stamp and die bundle…. check the video to see exactly what comes in your class pack

Make It Monday video tutorial using Sweet cupcake and watercolour pencils from Stampin' Up! UK

I love the Sweet Cupcake stamp set. It is designed to work as a triple layer stamp, with both the cupcake base and the icing have 3 stamps to create a totally dimensional cupcake. However, I have only used the base layer to create this card…. and then added extra detail with Watercolour Pencils (obsessed with those!)

The watercolour pencils can be used either on their own – as regular pencils – with an Aqua Painter or a paint brush, or with a blender pen. So far my experiments with a blender pen seem to have better blended results that with an Aqua-Painter or a paint brush, but then I haven’t finished playing with them yet…
