Now this is a card I made especially with my own husband in mind… he became a tad passionate about planning and building his own wood store this year – and now it is finished he is very proud of it!!
So I didn’t think this card would necessarily appeal to any of my ladies – but guess what – most of their husbands have a thing about building wood stores or stacking up their logs too! We did have a laugh!!!
And for those with husbands/dads that don’t store & stack… guess what – they are into their fires in any case…so this alternative version appealed to them too….
Papers all from the Adventure Bound paper stack & fire from The Great Outdoors stamp set– only available till 2nd June. Oh Baked Brown Sugar Thick Twine too…
Greetings from Hello Life and Guy Greetings in the Spring Summer Catalogue – which both carryover into the new Annual Catalogue – hooray!! Very happy to see these 2 carryover….
Here is a little trio of simple cards for you…. lots of new products to spot!
Still continuing using one of my favourite In Colors – Tip Top Taupe… but also introducing my other favourite… MINT MACARON….
Spot the gorgeous new ribbon in Tip Top Taupe… Just wish I had also bought the new Mint Macaron ribbon in my pre-order box too!!
Spot the fabulous Happy Birthday greeting…. I LOVE it!! Think this is my favourite greeting ever!
This is in a new Hostess stamp set - called Happy Birthday Everyone – that you can earn with a qualifying order for free come 2nd June.
Spot the new In Color embellishment here too – one gorgeous little flower in Mint Macaron…
Also spot all my banners…. all made using the new Triple Banner Punch coming your way…
Though I have to admit… I wasn’t going to buy it…after all I can make banners myself….but SO glad I did… never been out of my hands!! Definitely recommended…but a lot more on that another day!
Loving the combination of Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron with the existing colours of Soft Sky and Lost Lagoon. This is a combination you will now see quite a lot from me!!
And here are the 3 cards all together again…
These will be 3 of the cards available to make during my June classes – they have already caused quite a stir over here!!
Decided to make a series of technique tutorials that I will post on Tuesdays…starting off with some more of the videos produced by Stampin’ Up!
Each one of these is a little gem – showcasing a simple and effective technique with minimal supplies needed. These include some of my favourite, most used techniques – whether as a beginner all those years ago – or as a more advanced stamper as now! And I loved to share these techniques with my new stampers – always get a WoW!!
Marker to Stamp Technique – use daily! Wouldn’t be without my big box of marker pens! One of my first Stampin’ Up! purchases – one of my best – one of my most used - and still going strong. Not got the fabulous box of Many Marvellous Markers yet? Treat yourself now – don’t leave till June!!
Using Sponge Daubers – use my daubers daily – do you?
Masking Technique. I do some masking every week…
Note that the stamp set featured in this video is a promotional Sale A Bration item that is no longer available. However I do have one left as a gift for an order over £50 (excl P&P). Only one available!
Well seeing as you loved the Stampin Up! Video Technique I shared yesterday... I have just had a look and here are a few more I have found to to share…
Most of these are just 2 minutes to WOW! Simple but effective techniques that you will want to try too….
Watercolour Shadows & Highlights Techniques. Just posted. Guess what I will be trying out next!!
Now still on watercolouring.
The next few use stamps that were featured in the Sale A Bration promotion – so you will have to concentrate on the techniques rather than the images!! Though I do have a few spares if you would like to order £50+ product through me this month!
Watercolour with Blender Pens ( a must do technique as far as I am concerned!!)
Watercolour Wash Technique ( So Simple, Such Fun & So Effective!)
So there you have it – one technique for each day this weekend!! Enjoy!
I’ll be looking for more of these next week for you. Thank you for filming these Stampin’ Up!
Quick share of a video produced by Stampin’ Up! entitled Rock n’ Roll Stamping.
This was one of my first new-to-me techniques when I first joined Stampin’ Up! nearly 7 years ago.
And one that I regularly use still…. A real good ‘un as they say in Yorkshire!
Enjoy!
Here is another Shadow Box Frame Card I made.
This time I have completely and unashamedly CASED my upline, Julie Kettlewell’s stunning card… Well you trying looking at this one and not wanting to make it!
And oh… I can now confirm that the Butterflies Framelits have finally landed back in the UK!! So you can now buy the Bundles again….
But do also remember that these fabulous Something Borrowed papers are only available until 2nd June! These have definitely been an all-time favourite of mine – time to stock up!
Just 3 differences to Julie’s….
Firstly I used Blackberry Bliss & Sahara Sand (whereas Julie used Early Espresso & Sahara Sand).
Secondly – I used my Box Frame method which means it is “boxed/sealed” all the way round. I have definitely got into the groove with these….
And thirdly – a Rich Razzleberry button from the Brights Collection button pot to give an extra pop of colour
And here it is – ready in a box for handing over….
This is a 1” deep box – but I realised that a 3/4” deep box means that it can be used for the large letter postage scale in the UK – whereas the deeper box (which does look better!!) has to be hand delivered – or pay the price for a small parcel…
Go to Julie’s blog here for the 1” deep box instructions . Or here for my 3/4” deep instructions.
So I just have to say… Thank you Julie – me and my ladies love this card! In fact I liked this card so much I made another for a special occasion.So pop back tomorrow for another version…
