Black Eyed Girl

Okay, I was in two minds about posting this one because after I had carefully coloured in the little girl and cut her out, I  managed to get a tiny spot of water on her eye, which has made the ink run. So now she looks like she has a black eye..... could be the reason she 's looking so unhappy. lol.
 Maybe  this it could be  a Wishing you a speedy recovery card form somebody who has had a minor accident.
I used Pumpkin Pie card stock the Baby Blossom stamp  set, so saffron and pumpkin pie ink pads. The girl is a digital stamp I purchased and was coloured in with copic markers.

Red plane and simple card







Wow!!! this was a hard card to photograph. Apologies for the photo quality but I have given up, If I had the energy and inclination I would go and dig out the studio lighting but all that effort for one card, I think not.



Here is another card using the plane and simple stamp set along with the texture wheel, I am hooked on this wheel.

Sandra'S Card

This a card I made
yesterday for a
dear friend who lost her mother
recently.
I needed to come up with something quickly and bereavement cards are not cards I like making.
So I picked up my Stampin'up catalogue and had a look in there for some Ideas.
That is where I found the idea for this card. I have changed quite a few things, the colours the amount of tearing, the greeting and added a bow, but it's basically the same card.

The moral of this story is if you get stuck for ideas have a look in your catalogue at the idea s there. You can modify the cards to suit your materials or taste.

Flower Card



Another of the projects we made yesterday on our training day in Soberton.
You may have noticed I don't use buttons very often in my card making , I am not a great lover of buttons but I actually quite like the use of buttons on these projects.
We used the printed petals stamp set for the flower on this card.

punched flowers


This is another of yesterdays projects. I love the colours.
Lots of punches used in the making of this one and it only took a few minutes to make.

Sale a bration stamps..... Bliss


My free set of sale a bration stamps arrived yesterday in my order... I did say I couldn't wait to get my hands on this set didn't I. lol


This is another card I have cased today. I love this..... it's just so lovely, so elegant, classy, chic.

The original didn't have a ribbon and to be honest it doesn't need a one, I just fancied adding one.

Hubby doesn't like the torn edges on it. Which amazed me, .....he likes his torn jeans and T shirts un - ironed so I thought this would be right up his street.


I better not give it to him for Valentines Day then . lol

Autumn card

I have been doing a bit of a blog hop today and I discovered some really lovely cards, now don't ask me the blogs I went on because I have absolutely no idea. I can tell you they were in the main American sites. Some of these ladies make the most amazing cards and fortunately Stampin' Up like their demonstrators to copy and share everything.... C.A.S.E for short.
So that is what I have done today.
If you are one of the original creators of one of my cased cards. I have to say thank you for sharing and I love your cards.

We in the UK don't have the full range of Stampin'up products, so sometimes we have to use substitute stamps and products.

I have changed parts of some cards for that reason. Probably just as well we don't have the full range here, I'd go bankrupt. lol.
Anyway for this card I used the autumn splendour, perfect punches stamp set and the large oval punch.
Inks, so saffron, pumpkin pie, red riding hood, bravo burgundy and old olive to randomly stamp the leaves.
For the hinged edge I screwed up a piece of burgundy card stock over and over again until it was really wrinkled. I then smoothed it out and peeled the card layers apart . This left me with two pieces of card that looked alot like suede. I took the red riding hood ink pad and rubbed it all over the suede side of my card . I tore one edge and cut the other three to fit my card.

All at Sea


Here's one for a little man.
I cut a white circle and a red scalloped circle
Then cut four strips of bashful blue card and snipped away at one edge to create the waves then daubed the waves with bashful blue ink.
The boat is just a circle cut in half and three triangles of different sizes.
The clouds were daubed on using a scallop circle as a mask.
Once all the pieces were assembled I mount the scene onto a square of stampin' up designer paper added a strip of red then mounted the whole thing onto my real red base card.

wedding invitation two


For this pocket invitation I used a A4 sheet of red card (landscape) and scored at 1/2" then at 5 1/2" and again at
10 1/2" and trimmed off the excess. Turning the sheet to portrait, I scored 1/2" in and all the way along, I then cut off ONE of the narrow rectangle the scoring had created. Leaving the other narrow rectangle as the flap for my adhesive. I then folded on all the score lines and added extra strong double sided tape to the flaps and pressed it altogether firmly.
Using the baroque motif stamp set i stamped the large scroll stamp using versamark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder.
I cut another piece of red card slightly smaller than the finished width and length of the pocket printed off the wording for my invitation onto light weight white card stock, stamped and embossed the corner then mounted it onto the the red.
I think we have a pretty stylish invitation here.

Punch art ideas



Two more punch art items the bat wings were made from two of the middle size oval punch from SU. I cut away the wings with a small circle punch. The body and head are just circles with a dimension in between.

For the penguin I used the word window and a circle for the hat.

Ovals in all sizes for the body and wings the head and eyes circles.

The feet were created with the boho blossoms punch.

Santa's helper

This guy I found on a canadian demonstrator's web site. He is so cute. I just had to try making him. There is a video on making this guy on YOU TUBE. I can't remember the title of the video,
but I am sure you'll find it with these clues to help. Stampin up punch art, Andrea Walford.
Really Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Andrea makes some wonderful things and a visit to her web site is time well spent.

You'll need the Christmas ornament punch, the Boho blossoms punch and small circle punches. Card stock in a variety of colours, a white Gel pen, sponge daubers, pretty in pink ink, stamps to decorate your parcels.

Glitter Heart Cards


These two cards were very quick and
simple to make, they had to be as it
was quite late when we got home from my mother -in-laws with my Stampin' up parcels .
I didn't have much time to play before going to bed.
I used the small Stampin' up heart punch, whisper white card stock Rich Razzleberry ink and the Plum/ burgundy Cosmic glitter which is so very close to Rich Razzleberry in colour I usually call it Razzleberry glitter.
I used razzleberry grosgrain and cardstock for the second card. Don't forget you can click on image for a closer view and then click again for even close view.

Baroque



This was another of stampin up stamps I really wasn't sure of, but having done some research on what you can achieve with it and the fact it is being retired at the end of this month were reason enough for me to order the large baroque background stamp.

I swiped the ink pad over the stamp rather than tapping it as I wanted a streaked effect.

I used the new baja breeze ink pad with chocolate chip card and grosgrain.

Christmas Card



Serene snowflakes and lovely as a tree were the stamp sets used on this brayered background.

I used the brayer with bashful blue and night of navy ink pads. I then stamped the trees in black and with a dauber added some streaks in navy below the trees. I then stamped the snowflakes using versamark ink and embossed then with silver embossing powder.
