Sneak Peak

One of the most exciting aspects of being a Stampin Up Demonstrator is that we get to see the new catalogue first and we can play with some of the new goodies and share them with you.  Let me tell you, the new catalogue is FULL of beautiful things and is very inspiring.

One of the new stamp sets is called You've Got This and I've created 2 cards using the set and the beautiful new In Colours.

I hope you like the sneak peak of goodies to come.

Butterfly Day 4

Final day for butterflies.  I snuck in the gorgeous grunge stamp set again to create some interest in the corner. I used pearls this time instead of rhinestones.  I also used the middle thinlet from the set.  If you purchase this set (and you can very easily by pressing the shop now button below) there is a trick to cutting them out easily using wax paper.

All the cards I created this week have used only 2 stamp sets and I wanted to show how versatile they are.  Why not have a go yourself?

Butterflies Day 3

THis is a bit sneaky as it doesn't actually feature a butterfly but the stamp I've used is from the Butterfly Basics stampset so I didn't really cheat.

To create the background I used one of Stampin Ups fab clear acrylic stamping blocks and coloured it in using the maker pens. I then spritzed it with water and stamped it directly onto the whisper white cardstock, held it there to set and then, voila, a unique background!  I stamped over this using the flower stamp. stamped in Staz On Ink.

Butterflies day 2

Welcome to day 2!

This is made using a technique called Partial Retiform.  Its a quick and easy effect to use but very striking.  Today I have just used the Butterfly Basics stamp set, some post stick notes and a bit of scrap card.  You can find a link to the youtube video I watched here Video

I am so loving the blackberry bliss and Mossy Meadow, I know they're not really spring colours but they do go together so well.

Come back tomorrow for card 3 and something a bit different.

Butterflies

This week I have been playing with s stamp sets and the gorgeous Butterfly Thinlets dies.

We have made friends with a family in China and their eldest daughter has set up a foundation to help orphans in Tanzania.  I offered to make her some cards to sell with all proceeds going to the foundation.  Every day this week I will feature one of the cards I designed for her to sell.

This first one uses the thinlets and the bitty butterfly punch and I added a bit of bling.  It's very difficult to find "western" birthday cards over here so she is finding it very easy to sell them.

Come back tomorrow for card 2.
