Welcome with Stampin' Up! Occasions Alphabet

Welcome with Stampin' Up! Occasions Alphabet

You might remember my post about my lovely friend and neighbour leaving? Well this week new neighbours arrived - houses are never empty for long on a Military Patch!  Naturally I had to make a card to welcome them to the area.

I took my inspiration from a gorgeous swap I received from my great friend Lucy Tustian.  The colours I have used are Always Artichoke, Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake. The Stampin' Up! stamp sets used are Gorgeous Grunge and Occasions Alphabet. The banners were cut using the Banners Framelits Dies - you remember - the ones I didn't need!  How cute are the butterfly punches - Elegant Butterfly & Bitty Butterfly? I used the Calypso Coral Core'dinations so I could sand the edges off for a distressed look. Pearl Basic Jewels and Linen Thread provide the perfect finishing touch.

I love the way this one has turned out - hopefully my new neighbours will also like it and enjoy living here.

Swaps From Stampin' Up! Training in Telford

Swaps From Stampin' Up! Training in Telford

One thing which also always happens at Stampin' Up! events is swapping and how fabulous are all these swaps I received?  Can you see yours here?

The idea is that you make a batch of identical card fronts or 3-d items to exchange with fellow demonstrators so you end up with lots of ideas showcasing different stamps, styles and techniques.

I didn't just receive card fronts - how cute is this mini card in a box by Kim Fee - she made 100 of these!  Deanna's cute cracker box contained a decorated T Light and Elaine (Papercraft Button) made a fabulous T Bag Holder.

 

This was the swap / downline gift I received from my fabby upline Michelle Last - G&B 70% Dark Chocolate and a bead for my key-ring. Isn't it just gorgeous?

We had a great day in Telford - lots of chatting, crafting (with NEW products!!), sneak peeks (from the NEW 2014-15 Annual Catalogue - coming soon) and sharing.

I love being part of Stampin' Up! and if you think you would too why not give me a call (07530 368466) or email me for a chat to find out more?

A Birthday Card with Stampin' Up! Create a Cupcake

A Birthday Card with Stampin' Up! Create a Cupcake

A birthday card for you today using the Stampin' Up! Create a Cupcake stamp set.  The colours I have used are Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Strawberry Slush. The cupcake sprinkles were stamped with VersaMark and embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder. I lined up the icing and cake case using the Stamp-a-ma-jig. The film frame is cut using the On Film Framelits Dies and Big Shot - I love these dies!

The rectangular panel is a piece of Raspberry Ripple Core'dinations which I ran through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder and then distressed the dots with the Stampin' Sanding Block.  Two circles were cut using the Circles Collections Framelits - one using the dotty paper from the 2012-14 DSP Paper Stack and the other in Silver Glimmer Paper - isn't it sparkly?

The sentiment was stamped and cut into a banner using Paper Snips. A Rhinestone Basic Jewel is the "cherry" on the card!

I hadn't used this stamp set before - there is also a matching Cupcake Builder Punch so I might have to get that as well!

Paras 10 - Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree and a Bog!

Paras 10 - Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree and a Bog!

I have made this card for all my lovely friends from 100% Physical Training owned by the AWESOME Gemma Lancaster and everyone else who is running or tabbing the Paras 10 today. You are all amazing (and mad!)

I used Lovely as a Tree - this has to be one of the most versatile Stampin' Up! sets in the catalogue - so many possibilities.  The colours I used are Old Olive, Early Espresso & Soft Sky. I stamped the image on Whisper White card and then to produce the reflection I stamped onto a piece of acetate (I used the piece from the Stamp-a-ma-jig) and used that as my "stamp" to produce the reflection.

I then sponged the grass, mud (there will be lots of that!) and water - and used Gorgeous Grunge to add more texture.  The sentiment is from Just Sayin' cut using the Word Bubbles Framelits (available as a bundle saving you 15%). I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread round and popped the sentiment on using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I will be cheering them all on from afar and can't wait to hear how they all get on - I hope the bog isn't too bad!

Swapping with Stampin' Up! and Gorgeous Grunge

Swapping with Stampin' Up! and Gorgeous Grunge

Busy busy busy! So today I am in Telford for Stampin' Up! Regional Training. Then spending the rest of the weekend with family - what could be nicer? 

One thing which also always happens at Stampin' Up! events is swapping. This is where you make a batch of identical card fronts or 3-d items to exchange with fellow demonstrators so you end up with lots of ideas showcasing different stamps, styles and techniques.  

I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments. The colours used are Pistachio Pudding, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.  I stamped randomly with Gorgeous Grunge to create the background. The sentiment is stamped and cut out using the Big Shot & a die from the On Film Framelits - the Big Shot Magnetic Platform makes this so easy to line up and you know it won't move! I matted it onto two Scallop Circle Punches (7/8" & 1 1/4") with Linen Thread popped behind. 

Hopefully everyone who receives one will like it - I love swapping and can't wait to share the ones I receive with you.
