Stampin' Up! Clockworks Stamp Set with Banners Framelits Dies

Stampin' Up! Clockworks Stamp Set with Banners Framelits Dies

Ok - so when I first saw the Stampin' Up! Banners Framelits Dies I must admit I thought "how hard is it to cut banners?". Well not particularly if we are honest, BUT these dies make it SUPER easy! And the added bonus is if you buy the Perfect Pennants stamp set in a bundle with the dies then you save 15% - and let's face it - we all love a bargain!

The colours used today are Wild Wasabi, Basic Grey, Smoky Slate & Soft Sky - I just love this combination. I embossed a piece of Soft Sky card using the Big Shot and Argyle Embossing Folder and sponged the edges with Smoky Slate. I created a piece of patterned paper using stamps from the fabulous Clockworks stamp set and then cut various sized banners from card using the dies.

The sentiment is from Perfect Pennants and is so true.  A piece of Wild Wasabi Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon finishes the card.  I was really pleased with how it turned out.

My Aviary Postal Swap

Today's card is one I made for a postal swap that a fellow Pinkie, Laura Southam organised. I posted them out last week so think I am safe to share now as everyone should have received their card by now.


I used one of my favourite Stampin' Up! sets - Aviary. Love love love the cute little birds and their cages.

I stamped the cage and bird onto Confetti White card using Marina Mist and Basic Gray inks and punched it out using the 1 3/4" Circle Punch. This was then matted onto circles of Basic Gray and Marina Mist card cut using the Big Shot and the Circles #2 Original Die. I cut a sliver off the circles before using dimensionals to pop them onto a rectangle of textured Pear Pizzazz card.  The card base was cut from Confetti White card using the Scallop Square Bigz Clear Die and Big Shot. The gorgeous bird paper is from Nursery Nest Designer Series Paper and the corners were rounded using the Corner Punch.  I tied round a piece of 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon in Marina Mist and finished with a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes. Do you like the banner effect? I used the 1 1/4" Square Punch - much easier than trying to get it even using scissors!

An Enchanting Up, Up & Away!

Gosh, where has the week gone?!  The weather here is still dismal so I have been busy crafting and have lots to show you over the next few days.


It was my nephew's birthday this week.  Do you find 8 year old boys are hard to make cards for? Well I think this set Up, Up & Away is perfect!    

As you can see I teamed it up with the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Papers which are still available - but only until the end of the month (or while stocks last).  Can you also spy the gorgeous Organdy Ribbon and Everyday Enchantment Brad - these are from the Exclusive Free Pack you receive when you purchase £45 or more of Stampin' Up! products - aren't they gorgeous? 

The balloon images were stamped onto Confetti Cream card using Lucky Limeade, Pool Party & Calypso Coral ink, the basket was added in Soft Suede ink using the Stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure it was in the right place. I love the flying birds image so added a few of those in Basic Gray ink. This panel was then matted onto Lucky Limeade card. The base card is also Lucky Limeade with a mat of Confetti Cream and the Everyday Enchantment DSP. I hid the join between the papers with a length of 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon in Very Vanilla.  The sentiment from Up, Up & Away was stamped on Confetti Cream using Soft Suede ink, punched using the 1 1/4" Circle Punch and layered onto a Calypso Coral Scallop Oval Punch.  I wound the Organdy Ribbons round my fingers before securing onto the card with a Calypso Coral Brad.

Up, Up and Away is available in the current Summer Mini Catalogue - it is such a versatile set containing 14 stamps.
