One Sheet Wonder Better Together, Blooms & Bliss with a lovely Lace Accent using Stampin' Up! Products

Before I get on with today's project I have some great news for UK Crafters
I have spent ages today, re-organising my general Website that I sell my retired Stampin' Up! Stamp Sets & other Retired Stampin Up Products from from.
It is now much easier to navigate the items for sale from the main pages, and a better categorization of the different types of stamp sets.

& P&P is FREE!!



Well, you know that I told you that your catalogues were on their way?
Well as I was getting ready to main everything, labels and stamps attached, and I realised I have again managed to order the German version of the catalogues

To say the air in the house was blue, was an understatement!
So I ordered more,and you should have received them by the time you read this

If you haven't received one, and would like one, please contact me  on the link below, and send me  your name & address, & let me know if you would like a copy of the Annual Catalogue too.



I  blog for much too long, but I have been very unwell with severe cluster migraines that have been debilitating. So I just had to take some time out to re-group my energy. I am considering getting an eaar piercing to see if that reduces the severity & frequency of the migraines. If you have had this done, do let me know if it has been successful?

Finally managed to get a little time in my workshop, and made these one sheet wonder cards using the following Stampin' Up! Products:
 managed to do some quick one sheet wonder cards using some Thick Whisper White Cardstock  

For the Card Bases, I used Thick Whisper White Cardstock

BLOOMS & BLISS
Designer Series Paper
From Stampin' Up!

The sentiments are from a combination of the 

BIRTHDAY BLOOMS stamp set
The BETTER TOGETHER stamp set.

I love the card below. I used the  Lovely Lace Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and a scrap of Mint Macaron Cardstock. After Embossing the panel, I then used the best fitting scallop circle from the Layering Circles Framelits Dies to die cut the Lacey circle.


I think this Designer Series Paper Pack is beautiful, and you will notice that I have managed to pop in a Christmas Card or two
Below I used the Layering Circles to create the layered labels



Here I used the Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as both a stamp set and an embossing folder, by inking up the Embossing Folder before placing the Cardstock inside, then ran it through my Big Shot using the new Big Shot Platform

You will also notice how well the labels mat with one another. Below I used the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies & Added some contrast with the Mint Macaron Ribbon

Petal Burst Dry Embossed Better Together Handmade Sympathy Card using Stampin' Up! Products

Welcome back everyone
I have had a lovely, relaxing, extended Summer Break after a very busy time with our Small Animal Boarding Service.
I have now got to play catch up  and get some video's recorded, so I have a busy wee ahead.
And today I am sending out the new Stampin Up! Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue. So if you are on my customer list, you will be receiving a free card kit along with your catalogue .... So watch out for the Fancy Fold Card Tutorial on my YouTube Channel (and on here) for the accompanying Tutorial.

But first, I am sharing the first of a few sympathy cards I have had to make this past week
One was for a close friend, and the other is closer to home.
I always find it emotional to make these cards but try to bring a little support from the stamps I use.

One Wild Ride Meets Better Together Masculine Birthday Card Using Stampin' Up! Products UK

Today I have another version of that super charged Handmade  Motorcycle Stamp Masculine (or feminine) Card using the 

ONE WILD RIDE

Stamp Set

This time I am using a Random Stamping Technique, with Very Vanilla Cardstock as the main panel to create a more grungy feel to the card. Island Indigo Ink Pad was used for the birthday sentiment, motorbike images and the sentiment, and Archival Gray for the tread marks

I have coupled the One Wild Ride with a fabulous  all occasion  sentiment stamp set called

BETTER TOGETHER

This set has a combination of large, medium and small sized rubber stamps, with some being quite traditional in style, and others are more quirky. 
I have found myself using this stamp set  a LOT 

The card was accessories with Night of Navy Enamel Shapes (I used stars), and some Silver Thread. The Banner was stamped onto a scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock and fussy cut out (i.e. cut out by hand using paper snips.

Below you will find a list of the products used today, dimensions of the cardstock, Y the accompanying Video Tutorial

Moroccan Nights Are Better Together Emboss Resist Technique using Stampin' Up! Products

Hi Folks, I hope you are having a good day, and I also hope that today's card will give you a warm fuzzy feeling with the impact of the MOROCCAN Stamp Set and the EMBOSS RESIST technique using inks from the Regals Colour Collection.

I adore these rich colours, and for me it always signals that the transition from Summer to Autumn will be on us soon, I am also a BIG fan of middle eastern culture, from food, to silks and Spices. These things were my inspiration for today's card.
I used the Layering Circles Die to add a little added interest to the card, and mat that onto a die cut circle from the same Nestable Framelits Dies; this was then popped up using Stampin Dimensionals, before mounting onto the card base

You will find the Tutorial and List of Products used today, below

I would also love to see your own version of this card, so if you are not already following my Community Pinterest board, just click on the Pinterest board on the left hand side of my blog & select Follow. I will then send you an invite to begin pining on the board. All samples MUST have some Stampin' Up! products on them, and NO Digi Stamps 
I look forward to seeing your creations
