3 x 3" card set

Hello to you all

 I have a set of 3" x  3" cards and box to share today.

I have  made my cards smaller but I love the idea

of stamping my own Designer Paper.

I hope you like it.

 I have designed my own designer paper  by

stamping the leaf out of the Lovely as a Tree stamp set all over some whisper white cardstock.

I used three different colours of green. I got this idea from watching a You Tube video by Gez .

The video can be seen here 

Sorry it is picture heavy

The green cardstock is Mint Macron

Rustic Charm

from the added burlap and buttons.xxx

Christmas in July

I know what you are thinking

this gorgeous weather and me making a Christmas card.

I do need to start now I need around 50 just for Tommy

he has an Art group and a Pentanque group

he belongs to, then I need my cards.

I have used one of the stamps from the Lovely as a Tree set again on a 

PanPastel background ten added some glitter to make it look a bit frosty

Notepad and pen sets

I have been trawling You Tube just lately and found these

gorgeous notepad sets so decided to case them.

I got this from Angelina here if you fancy a go. I have used

papers and card from the Subtles range at Stampin Up.

These would make great teacher gifts or even Craft Fair makes.

Varied Vases

Hello to you all

I am back again with another card

I have used the Varied Vases bundle on this card.

Stamped onto watercolour card and coloured in with ink I then

punched them out  and adhered them with some

dimensionals. 

Lovely as a Tree

 Hello to you all

I know this stamp has been around forever.

But I imagine lots of people don't own it, I couldn't wait

to get my hands on it and I am not disappointed. The details

are superb. I have stamped it onto  a background

of Distress ink.

I hope you like it.

The Best Day Ever

Hello to you all

I love co-ordinated  colours and I think that is one of the things that 

attracted me to Stampin Up plus their stamps of course.

My card today shows an example of the  

co-ordination that is so simple to achieve.

I have stamped the gorgeous image with Balmy Blue ink

onto Whisper White card and framed this with

some Balmy Blue cardstock

Items used

Card stock- Balmy Blue

Fancy Fold

Hello to you all

I am sharing a fancy fold today

I suppose this is back to basics really, I remember when I first started paper crafting  this

was one of the first folds I learnt ... There are plenty of you tube videos showing how

to make this, here is a link to one if you fancy having a go.

I have used  Stampin up Tranquil Textures for this

I hope you like it

Interlocking Gatefold card

Hello to you all

My team leader #Amanda has challenged the team to share something made today

I hope you like it

Die cut an oval and two frames and glue the two frames together,

put to one side 

Cut a piece of cardstock 10" x 6" and score on the long side

@ 2 1/2 " and 7 1/2 " and fold

cut your DSP

2@ 5 3/4 x 2 3/4 for outside

2@ 5 3/4 x 2 3/4 for inside

Adding glue to just one half of the  oval stick this

to the left hand side of your card

Now position the frame to fit the sentiment and again just glue

to the right hand side of the card

Decorate the inside with another oval diecut

I decorated with some butterflies and a button

Another Beautiful You and some Stampin Up News

Hello to you all....

Well I expect you have noticed I have been using a lot of

Stampin Up products lately...... I have decided to become a Stampin Up

Demonstrator. 

With that in mind you will see some changes to my blog

over the next few weeks, 

I do hope you will still follow me and my

projects, nothing will change I shall just be using Stampin Up products,which

considering I have been paper crafting for around 10 years I have not used before.

Hopefully I might persuade  one or two of you to try

the products yourself.. 

Anyway I just thought I 

would keep you in the picture as to what

will be happening .
