A Special Reason by Stampin Up.


You won't need any special reasons to purchase this bundle from Stampin' Up! It is fabulous, and creates fast and gorgeous cards in no time.

The secret is to get the Bundle.

I used the stamp set in a previous post and you could see how versatile it is, but this set of Framelits dies, called Stylish Stems is amazing.


You can use it as I have on this card, creating beautiful negative shapes that are highlighted from behind by some patterned Designer Series Paper. In this case I used paper from the Falling In Love Paper set by Stampin' Up! You can find that on page 51 of the current Occasions Catalogue.


Layers of interest are easily created using these framelits as you have solid outline shapes plus more delicate detailed shapes to play with.


I used some Foam Adhesive Strips to lift the top layer from the Designer Series Paper. These strips are a little higher than our regular Dimensionals and are perfect for placing about 1 cm inside the edge of the card.
And here is the finished card. Again I've used the lovely free ribbon from Sale A Bration to cover over the area where the leaves meet on top of the card base.



You can still take advantage of the fabulous opportunity to join Stampin' Up! during Sale-A-Bration. But time is running out!
You get all the benefits of being a member of the SU family plus during SAB you can choose 2 additional free stamp sets of your choice. Depending on your choice this can be well over $100 of stamps for free and that is in addition to all the heavily discounted items you choose for your Starter Kit. That means potentially over $400 worth for just $169.

Do you like what you see and think you'd like to earn some extra income from stamping?  
If you are looking for a hobby, a part or full time job, working from home and at your own pace, AND you love craft, then you should consider doing what I do. It is fun and rewarding.

Anniversary Card - Pleasant Poppies

I knew I had to have the wonderful Pleasant Poppies stamp from Stampin' Up!® the moment I saw the 2012-13 Catalogue. And it has not disappointed me. I love the fact that it can be embossed, coloured and combined with other stamps.

This month at my card Stamp A Stack class I had 2 requests for designs - Mothers Day and Anniversary cards.

I decided to make them both general enough that they could be used for a number of occasions simply by changing the greeting, or by adding other colours when colouring and sponging. The ladies did not disappoint, with some wonderfully creative solutions produced around the table.  54 cards were created last night and the variety from 2 different kits was inspiring to see. 

So here is my version of the Anniversary Card



The card was quite quick to create by adding layers of dry embossing shapes, a little sponging and some Dazzling Diamonds glitter.


Colours are River Rock ink on Very Vanilla card. The poppies have been coloured using a Blender Pen  and the textures have been enhanced by sponging River Rock ink over the surface.




A touch of Dazzling Diamonds here and there on the card gave these neutral colours a bit of a lift.


Hope you enjoy the card - if you'd like to attend any of my classes you can contact me any time to find out if I have vacancies. 

Until Next Time
