Simple Saturday Corner Bouquet...


Gosh... forgot to share this simple little Thank You card that I produced back in December... 

So thought I should quickly share today... as the Corner Bouquet and Heal your Heart stamp sets used are only available until tomorrow...

As they are 2 of the stamp sets you can only earn for free during the Sale A Bration promotion... one free for every £45 ordered...

And don't forget all the extra papers you can earn for free should you sign up for a Demonstrator Starter Kit... but only till tomorrow... Click here to join us... or here for more information on joining my team...

A simple card... using Marker Pens* to colour the multi-coloured blooms and leaves direct on the stamp... then a quick huff over the stamp... and stamp where desired...

Stamped panel then cut into 2 parts... mounted onto a Pool Party mat... with a bit of white twine trapped in between...

And then I stamped and split a few more plainer panels to produce a simple little set... though as you can tell I didn't quite finish the cards! But I am sure that you will get the idea...

* Stampin Up ! Marker Pen colours used: Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody

Wednesday WOW - Paper Blooms Double Fan Fold Card


OMG... I have been wanting to make one of these Double Fan Fold cards for ages... ever since I first saw one on Sam's Mixed Up Craft blog back in August 2020... and many a-one seen since... and I am definitely not disappointed... Thank you Sam...

So this is my first Double Fan Fold card... and I followed Sam's tutorial to the letter... as it creates a nice big card... And I can have to admit... that I absolutely LOVE this card... 

Flowers all fussy cut from the Paper Blooms papers.... shiny Rococo Rose foil from the Love You always Foil Sheet pack...

And check out the 2 butterflies... one stamped and die cut to the top left... and the other fussy die cut to the bottom right...  A sneak peek of a new product suite coming 2nd March... Butterfly Bouquet... more details coming Sunday...

The perfect set of products for you butterfly fanciers... simply gorgeous... may just be the nicest butterflies I have ever had!!

And a couple of simple tips for you... 

(1) Don't be too scared to cut your stamps... makes for much more versatility... as I can use Happy Birthday on its own now... on top of each other (as here)  or side by side to form the long sentiment when I want that... And I can still use ... as designed for... when I need that sentiment too...

(2) Gut your foil... I cut in at 1cm (approx 3/8") from each side... 
So now I have a panel I can use for something else another day...

It gets covered by the paper panel in any case...
