Watercolour Wash Vintage Styled Card using In This World Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! UK

  
Now, if you have been following my blog over the past 5 years, you will know that I am a Vintage Girl at heart! I have to fight my natural inclination to make everything vintage styled. So I have learnt, that people like to see all kinds of cards & 3D projects.

But for today, I am feeding my love of the vintage Style he he

The In This World Stamp Set is how I have achieved this.
This is one of the New Stamp Sets to the Stampin' Up! Catalogue
So if you have fallen in love at first sight of this stamp set, like me, you will have to have it.
That is easy to to, just click the link below this photo, and you will be transported to my on-line Demonstrator Store, where you can purchase this little lovely ...
Stampin' Up! also brought out a new vintage lace, so of course I just HAD to have that too!

The card Base was made using Watermelon Wonder Cardstock,.
The main panel is Watercolour Paper which I created a 3 colour watercolour wash background. This was stamped one dry, and an extra Butterfly was stamped and Fussy Cut out., some coils of Gold thread added and mounted onto the card front with Stampin Dimensionals to Pop it up.

Birthday Blooms Double Diamond Fancy Fold Card Using Stampin' Up! Products

Today I am sharing with you the basic tutorial on how to create one of these Double Diamond Cards
The other Day, I shared with you the Fairy Celebration New Home Card I made for my Daughter & Son in Law, as they were moving into their first home. 
It was a step up from today's card, as I added two square panels, that I stamped & painted with the fairies.

Some of you have said you found the instructions in that typed tutorial, a little difficult to follow from step 5, and could I do a video., So here is is


Feel free to CASE any of my creative projects (Copy & Paste Everything)

Today's Card uses the Birthday Blooms Stamp Set with Archival Black/Memento Black Ink Pad, onto Watermelon Cardstock. I tried to get a better shot of the 3D element of this card, that stamds on 3 points.It is much easier to make than is seems. If you made those peekabo games as a child where you had numbers on the flaps, and underneath was a dare; then you will be able to make these fun fold cards.

A Moroccan Heartfelt Sympathy Card using Stampin' Up! Products UK

Well, yesterday was a sad day. We had to say goodbye to a good friend.
She was my mentor, when learning about Rabbit Coat Colour Genetics, and without her, I wouldn't have the wide range of colours available in rabbits. She was a stoic lady who I admired greatly.
But each evening, I look up into our beautiful night sky, and remember all those I have lost and miss.
Anne will take her place up there, as well as in my heart, until we meet again.

The sentiment from the Heartfelt Sympathy Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! says it all

Touches of Texture with a little Layering Love & Layering squares using Stampin' Up! Products

This is the first time I have played with this gloriously ME stamp set he he.
I do love grungy collage stamp sets, but I guess most of you already know that. But it doesn't mean that such a stamp set, cannot be transformed in to a clean, crisp card that is bang on trend.
The list of products you need is not huge either
making this a cost effective card to make.

I have used some retired Melon Mambo Stitched Satin ribbon, as I do hate waste, but this beautiful ribbon is available in other colours, including Real Red, which would work really well with this project.
