Touches of Texture with Layering Love in shades of So Saffron & Wisteria Wonder Stampin' Up! UK

Today's card is another Vintage Inspired Card using a combination of the Touches of Texture Stamp Set, with the Layering Love Stamp Set.

The Touches of Texture Stamp setl is a super Collage set, with infinite possibilities of where you go with it.

In this card I have used just 3 colours, 
So Saffron, Wisteria Wonder & Soft Suede.

I have also used some Burlap Ribbon and some left over Venetian Trim, as I hadn't had my most recent order at the time of making this card. I now have a supplie of the new, and very dlicate, Very Vanilla Lace Trim.

The card base was made using Wisteria Wonder Cardstock. and  The Bold sentiment was stamped over the Background. The card was finally embellished using some of the new Subtles Enamel Shapes

Floral Phrases Dapper Denim & Silver Foil Anniversary Card Stampin' Up! UK

It was my middle sons 2nd Wedding Anniversary this week, and I knew exactly which Stamp Set I was going to use ... and that would be 

FLORAL PHRASES

This is one of the stamp sets new to this years Annual Catalogue, and I fell in love with it, the moment I set eyes on it. And of course, I just HAD to HAVE it he he

I went with Dapper Denim, just because I adore this warm Blue. Blue's have a tendency to be a little cool, but not this one. It sits nicely between Night of Navy and Marina Mist.

I coupled it with this Dapper Denim paper from the Affectionately Yours Suite, as it co-ordinates so well with today's colour scheme, and really sets off the Silver Foil Mat.
The Doily  gives extra interest, and I stamped the floral accent onto onto a long narrow banner that I popped up on Stampin Dimensionals to give some added lift, and finished with some Silver Ribbon.
Tutorial is below

Guy Greetings From Land To Sea By The Tide Masking Technique, Stampin Up! UK


Today's card was featured briefly in a recent video talking about my submissions as part of a selection process with Stampin Up!
Today I  have this super masculine card made with a combination of stamp sets, and a Masked sentiment. I have gone with a colourscheme that mimics the colours ofsea, and therefore the Retiring 2014 - 2016 In Colours were perfect for the job. I added in some Basic Black and Basic Gray to get those under water images of the Turtles and seahorses.

As always there is an accompanying Video. For the time being I am reducing my video's to 3 times weekly. Hopefully, BT will be able to resolve the errors on our broadband connection. As soon as that happens, I will return to 5 video's per week.
