Stampin' Up! Uk - A Bright Blooming with Kindness

So I am onto the "B" stamps - namely Blooming with Kindness! And inspired by the Watercolour Wonder Designer Series Paper in the Spring / Summer Catalogue I have used a colour I very rarely use - Tangerine Tango, along with Daffodil Delight.  I used Stampin' Write Markers to colour the flower image (Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Tangerine Tango) and stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede.  The stamped images were cut using the Big Shot and Framelits (Circles Collection & Ovals Collection)  Pieces of Watercolour Wonder were matted and layered to provide the background. 

The card was finished with a bow in Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon, some Linen Thread (am loving this at the moment) and some Pearl Basic Jewels on the sentiment and in the middle of the flower.

So what do you think? I am loving the bright summery colours - maybe I will have to use Tangerine Tango more often!

Stampin' Up! UK - Blooming with Kindness!

Stampin' Up! Uk Blooming with Kindness.

I was asked to make a birthday card for a lovely lady who is celebrating her 70th birthday at the end of the year but I know she isn't online so I am safe to share it with you now!

I love the 2013-15 In Colors and this card uses Crisp Cantaloupe as the main colour along with the Blooming with Kindness Stamp Set.

The flower image was inked up using Crisp Cantaloupe ink and a Tangerine Tango Stampin' Write Marker to highlight parts of the stamp, the stem was coloured in Soft Suede and the image stamped on Very Vanilla card.  

The sentiment was stamped using Soft Suede ink and cut & matted using framelits from the Oval and Deco Labels Collections.  Mats were cut from the Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper. 

The brief I received for the card asked for a "subtle" reference to the 70th birthday so it was incorporated into the background card using the ABC-123 Sketch Alphabet & Numbers Stamp Set. The Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set and lots of sponging helped "distress" the card which was finished with a piece of Victoria Crochet Trim, a Linen Thread bow and Pearl Basic Jewels.

Hopefully she will like it!

Thank You with Stampin' Up! Paper Doily Sizzlits

Today's card is one I made for new team members to say "Thank you" for joining my Stampin' Up! team.  I had to buy the Paper Doily Sizzlits as soon as I saw it - I just love the detail. 

The doily was cut from Very Vanilla Card using the Big Shot. One tip is to use the Simply Scored Stylus to help poke out all the fiddly bits - it also helps if you roll the cut piece slightly to help the pieces "ping" out. It is not a die for the neat and tidy to use!  A piece of Baja Breeze (retiring) card stock was embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper Folder and sponged with Crumb Cake Ink.  The card base is Crumb Cake..  

The sentiment is from the Blooming With Kindness Stamp Set and was punched out using the 1 1/4" Circle Punch and layered onto a mat cut using Apothecary Accents Framelits.  More sponging and a couple of Pearl Basic Jewels finished it nicely.

The bow is made using Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon, Linen Thread and an Antique Brad. 

A very simple card but I love the vintage look so I was pleased with this - hopefully the recipients also liked them.
