Stampin' Up! Inspired By Nature Crafty Cupcakes Team Blog Hop

Welcome to the Crafty Cupcakes Team Stampin' Up! Blog Hop for October 2017. Each month members of the Team take part in our Team Blog Hop to share with you our cards and projects made using the fabulous Stampin' Up! products. You are currently
 visiting Jenny Dowding in UK and below you will see the full list of everyone taking part. To move to the next blog just click the name after mine in the list.

 This month our theme is "Inspired by Nature" and I am using the SU Tranquil Tulips Stamp set today


Inspirations also from my birthday card from Jillian of "Purple Jelly Designs"

The card base is Old Olive with Crushed Curry and Very Vanilla matts.

I have used 5 inks that tone well together and made one Tulip in each colour. I also have added some lilac Grape Hyacinths as a contrasting colour.

On the inside of the card I have stamped a sentiment and also some Grape Hyacinths

Thank you once again for visiting my blog and taking part in our blog hop. There are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss so make sure you carry on hopping through the list.

Weekend Blog - Stampin' Up! Sheltering Tree Friendship Card

Welcome to my Weekend Blog

Today I am going to show you a card made with the Stampin' Up!(SU) Sheltering Tree stamp set

As the leaves on "My" tree outside my craft room window start to show the hues of autumn, I am looking forward to the annual display of amazing colours in our trees. This card is a nod to Autumn and also to my Friends who help me through hard times 

I have made this card so that the image on the front overflows the matt that it is stamped on. This effect can either be done by doing all your stamping and then cutting out the square, or by cutting the square first, and then stamping. I have tried it both ways and both work. 

Here I have done all my stamping and then carefully cut out the square. Always stabilize the framelit with Washi tape before running it through Bigshot machine. Once you have the apeture, cut 2 more layers of the same size in the matt colour and make glue the 3 square together to give a nice thickness. Mount with dimesionals

Complete your card as below

These are the items used to make this card
