Happy Father's Day with Stampin' Up!

Happy Father's Day with Stampin' Up!


Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there - my card will be late as my calendar showed next weekend as Father's Day - grrrrrrr!  The picture is a bit dark as well as I was in a rush to post it - sorry.

So I have used the design from one of my previous cards as it is quick to make!  The colours are Pool Party, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Tangerine Tango which tie in with the Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper (retiring) I used. Can you spy any new products on there? Yes the cute little ties are from the NEW Baby's First Framelit Dies - available in the 2014/2015 Annual Catalogue out on 1 July.

The background on the largest banner was stamped using images from Clockworks (retiring) and a stamp from a retired set (Affection Collection). I ran a piece of Very Vanilla card through the Big Shot using the Argyle Embossing Folder and sponged the edges.  The banners were all cut using the Banners Collection Framelits and the card fished with a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and Candy Dots.

Hopefully Dad will like it when is arrives - I know Mum will anyway! I am also thinking of everyone who is missing their Dads today - they will always be with you.

Here are the main Stampin' Up! supplies used today.

Stampin' Up! Washi Tape Storage using Tag a Bag Gift Boxes

Stampin' Up! Washi Tape Storage using Tag a Bag Gift Boxes


A storage solution for you today! I was having a play and discovered that the Tag a Bag Gift Boxes are the perfect size for storing Stampin' Up!'s Designer Washi Tape.  Obviously I needed to decorate it as well.  

The boxes come flat packed but are super-easy to assemble, but before I did I stamped it using a stamp from Gorgeous Grunge and added some Retro Fresh Washi Tape. I then cut "Washi" from Tangerine Tango card using the Typeset Alphabet Bigz die (retiring).

So my Washi Tape is now organised rather than hidden under the chaos on my desk! How do you store yours?

Here are the main Stampin' Up! supplies used today.

An Epic Box with Stampin' Up! Chalk Talk

An Epic Box with Stampin' Up! Chalk Talk


A box for you today. I made it a while ago but hadn't got round to sharing it with you. The starting point was a tutorial from my fabulously talented friend and fellow demonstrator Sam Donald - aka Pootles.  I had to alter the size of the box to fit the contents - posh hand cream - but that was simple enough!

The colours I used are Early Espresso, Pool Party and Crumb Cake. The Designer Series Paper is from the Epic Day This and That pack.  

Every box needs a tag! I stamped the image from Chalk Talk in Crumb Cake and Pool Party Ink, and snipped out the word "Something" so I could use it to highlight the word on the tag. The tag was cut out using the Chalk Talk Framelits and matted onto the other card colours. It was finished off with ribbons (Victoria Crochet Trim, Very Vanilla Seam Binding & Linen Thread) and an Early Espresso Designer Button.


It was the perfect size for the hand cream - I love being able to make custom boxes as it makes the simplest of gifts all the more special! And the funny thing was we gave each other identical gifts!
