Stampin' Up! Crafty Cupcakes Design Team Delightful Daisy week 2

Hi Stampers

I have been invited to do the September weekly blog post for the Crafty Cupcakes Design Team, along with Michelle of "Craft - A - Therapy". You can visit Michelle's Blog HERE 

We are using the Stampin'Up! Daisy Delight Stamp  and punch bundle during September.
 This is Week 2

Week 2 card is a generic card. 
I have not added any sentiment to so that you can use it for many occasions ie Thank You, Sympathy, Get Well, Happy Birthday in fact, just about any occasion. A useful card to make and complete at the last minute for the occasion it is required for.

We start with Pear Pizzaz cardstock, A4 size cut in 1/2, scored and burnished to make the card base.

Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 5 3/8" x 3 7/8" and emboss this piece with the Layered Leaves embossing folder. I used a sponge dauber and Pear Pizzaz ink to highlight the leaf design on the card.

Using your Daisy Delight stamps, stamp 2 each of the daisys flowers on Pear Pizzaz, Very Vanilla and So Saffron card using the inks. Punch out the 6 flowers and assemble them using glue dots and Enamel Glitter Dots for the flower centres.

Die cut the stem using the Bird and Blooms Thinlits Dies. 

Add the ribbon and then assemble your card using Tombo glue and dimensionals. 

Stamp an appropriate sentiment on your insert and add it when you are ready to send the card

Card Recipe:-

SU Cardstock - Pear Pizzaz 1/2 A4 sheet 8 1/4" x 5 7/82 and scrap for 2 Daisy punch outs and the stem

SU Cardstock - Very Vanilla 5 5/8" x 3 7/8" x 2, and scraps for 2 Daisy punch outs

Stampin' Up! Weekend Post -

Hello Stampers

This weekend I have a very simple card for you that will surprise you.
We are stamping a Dandelion card using 2 teeny tiny stamps from the Stampin' Up (SU) Balloon Celebration stamp Set

To make this card I have used Stampin' Up! cardstock in Pool Party and Whisper White, see below for card recipe. I cut out all the cardstock first and then did the stamping. First I used the larger seed head stamp to make the backdground, making the inked area larger at the bottom of the sheet as below

Then I stamped the dandelion head, starting in its centre with the smaller stamp and making a circle 2-3 stamp layers deep. Then taking the larger seed head stamp I stamped the outside layer larger and the 2 falling seeds. Try to keep the stamping open because it looks better not too close.

I added some Pool Party Solid Baker's Twine in a fan design to the top layer and attached it down to the back with glue dots
Once complete, I put the layers together

With the sentiment - I tried and tried but did not like it anywhere on the front so I have put it inside the card on the insert, along with a few more seeds

I really like the completed card and have made it in several colours. These are the products I used making the card. I put ribbon on a previous card but I prefer the bakers twine.

Card Recipe:-

SU Pool Party Cardstock 1/2 A 4 sheet scored and folded in  1/2 and 3 1/2 x 4 3/4" and 1" wide scrap for sentiment 

SU Whisper White Cardstock - 2 x 5 5/8" x 3 7/8 " and 1 x 4 1/2 x 3 1/4" and 1" scrap for sentiment

SU Balloon Celebration Stamp Set

SU Solid Pool Party Bakers Twine

SU Ink pad Pool Party 

SU Sponge dauber - to scruff the matt edges

Sentiment from the stamp set

I hope you have a go at making this card. The most surprising thing for me was that I had these little stamps and never noticed what they could do.

Midweek Blog 23/8/17 another Sneak Peek at the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalogue

Hi Friends

Welcome to my Midweek Blog in which I am offering another sneak peek at the Stampin'Up! Holiday Catalogue that is release on 1st September

This is the 2017 Holiday catalogue

I made this card using the new "Santa Paws" Stampin' Up! Stamp Set from the Holiday Catalogue

I made the card by folding the black card base in half and burnishing the crease with my bone folder. 

I first glued on the matt with the music pattern, and then glued on top of that the Real Red matt.

I then stamped the cat stamp onto the Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the sentiment.

Then the best fun of all was the water colouring using my Aqua Painter and the inks.

The sentiment and the picture are applied using dimensionals to give some height 

These are the products that I have used to make the card

Card Recipe:-

Cardstock - Stampin' Up! (SU) Black 1/2 A4 sheet for the card base

Cardstock - SU Real Red 3 5/8" x 5 3/8"
