Christmas Card Share - Snowflake Card

Here is another great card we made at my upline's card club. You can see her blog hereThis card uses the Bigz Snow Flurry die and early expresso tulle ribbon from the winter catalogue. I have cut out the snowflake twice and off set each one on top of each one. The brown tulle is lovely and soft and has a scalloped edge. It looks great on cards and can be gathered to give a ruffled effect.

Christmas Card Share

Hiya,

I wanted to share this gorgeous card we made at my upline, Karen Gilchrist's card club. You can view her blog here.

This uses what has been termed the "triple stamping" technique. The card uses 3 pieces of white card each a little bigger than each other. These 3 pieces of card are all stamped together at the same time and then matted onto coloured cardstock and layered on top of each other on a red base card. The stamp set used is Snowflake Soiree - 127925 and the sentiment stamp is Greetings of the Season - 128033 both from the Autumn / Winter Catalogue.

I am off to quarterly team training so have been making swaps by the "bucket load"!! I will post what I have made soon.

Take care

Paper Flower

Hello,

I just wanted to share with you this lovely paper flower I made recently. I used Stampin' Up!'s designer series paper stack- Pumpkin Pie. I punched out the shape using the 2 3/8 inches scalloped punch. I punched out 8 of these shapes. I then inked the edges in tangerine tango with a sponge dauber. I cut in the scalloped circle at each scallop to create individual petals. Make sure you don't cut al the way into the centre of the scallop. Using the sylus from the scoreboard and a foam mat such as Stampin' Pierce Mat i shaped each petal individually by pressing the stylus down in circles until the petal and curled up into a shape I was happy with. I did this to all 8 scallops. I then attached each on top of each other using a brad. I sprayed the flower with water to make the petals easier to mould. After moulding, heat to set your flower or leave to dry naturally.

Here is a picture of my flower.

Rosette Flower Tutorial

Hello everyone,

I have been busy make flower rosettes, I have made smaller ones and layered them on top of larger ones. i have been using  the great new Stampin' Up! scoreboard as well as Designer Stack paper to make these. These are very easy to make and don't need a special die. You can make them in whatever colour you want so they can perfectly co-ordinate with your project. You can make them whatever size you want. These would look great as well made into napkin holders.

New Catalogue out!!!



Hiya,

Stampin' Up!'s new annual catalogue launched on Monday 1st October. You can see the catalogue here . This catalogue is much bigger than the old one, about double the size!! There are load of new products to choose from. The difficult part is what to get as I want it all. You can order a paper copy of the catalogue from me. The cost is £5.00.

This is a great time to join Stampin' Up! You can pick your own starter kit from the new catalogue up to the value of £130 plus you get £45.00 worth of free business supplies. That makes a total kit of 175 but you only have to pay £99.00. I think that is great deal.

If you sign up in October or November you will also be able to choose a free pack of Designer Series Paper AND get another pack free every month for the first six months.
