Collage Background for Handmade Cards Using Kinda Eclectic Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! UK

I hope you have a great weekend planned, and that the weather is as lovely as it is here in Essex UK?
We have our grandchildren staying with us, and will be taking them and our dogs to the Park for some fun time together

Before we go. I wanted to share with you the third of three cards with you featuring the

KINDA ECLECTIC
STAMP SET
 from Stampin' Up!

Kinda Eclectic is a Versatile Collage Stamp Set that is perfect for creating your own Designer Series Papers.
Despite using the same stamp set and ink pads for all three cards, each card has a unique look, just by altering the design template, dies and accessories

In this sample, the Island Indigo (blue) is much more prominent in this card.
The Rich Razzelberry Ombre Ink Pad, has again been used for the butterflies, and by using a different area of the ombre ink pad, you get different shades of colour for the butterflies.
I have kept the accessories simple with some Tip Top Taupe Mini Stripped Ribbon and Basic Rhinestones.

You can find a list of all the products used to create today's card listed below, and a link to my online store

Brushstrokes Flourishing phrases & Embellished Ornaments Handmade Christmas Card Stampin' Up! UK



Can you believe it is Saturday again? The weeks are flying past, and I am starting to think on the designs I will be using for this years Christmas Cards ... I Know, I can hear you groaning from here.
And for this card, I need feedback from you, my faithful followers please?

 The two cards in the photo, differ, and I want to know if you prefer the design with the leaves? or the one without the leaves?

For this design, I wanted to keep it clean, crisp, and simple 

The colour-scheme was kept equally simple, using ink pads from the Brights Colour Collection

Daffodil Delight
Old Olive
& Real Red
With Cherry Cobbler for the Card base 

It does mean I have used three stamp sets, but for me it is worth it
The background uses the Brushstrokes Stamp Set
The Flower & leaves are from the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set
& the festive sentiment is from the Delicate Ornaments Stamp Set
Embellishment was kept equally simple with Basic Rhinestones for that Festive Twinkle.

Wherever You Go Masculine Card Stampin' Up! UK

I hope your day is as bright & Sunny as it is here in Essex. Yesterdays Thunderstorm is long gone, thank Goodness , as our Puppy doesn't much care for them!

And so today's card reflects the weather, using the 


WHEREVER YOU GO Stamp Set 
from Stampin' Up!

For another Masculine Card

The Sky Background was created using one of Stampin Up!s new Single Use Sponge Brayers with the Soft Sky Ink pad
The Sunburst  is stamped in  Daffodil Delight Ink, the Birds in Archival Grey, and the Bridge & Sentiment are stamped in Archival Black ink.

After Stamping the Sentiment, I die cut it using the Layering Oval Framelits & run through my Big Shot using the Magnetic Platform. The sentiment was then trimmed to give a straight base, and popped up using Stampin Dimensionals.

Supplies List  can be found below

Wetlands Meets A Work f Art Unisex Birthday Card Stampin' Up! UK

It was My Dad's 76th Birthday at the weekend, and as he only recently had a card for Fathers Day, that was very grungy, I decided to go with something very different. with this lighter & Brighter Card that could be used for a Man or Woman. 
The anchor stamp & Grass Stamp helps to tie the card's unisex possibilities.
I went with the Subtles Collection for the background, using a combination of Pool Party, Soft Sky & Pear Pizzaz. Ink Pads, and Soft Suede for that wonderful warm brown.
The whole card was tided together by using some Linen Threat and some Subtles Enamel Shapes.


I used three stamp sets to create this card and two die cuts

Sweet & Sassy Pop of Paradise Quick Cards using Stampin' Up! Products UK

Today, I am sharing with you a selection of cards that I have made using the Pop of Paradise Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!
These cards are super easy and super fast to make, and the Black and Melon Mambo Contrast with the White, is just so dramatic. I used less than 1/2 sheet, from 3 different papers in the Pop of Pink DSP Pack. So they are cost effective to make too.
I used a selection of Nesting Dies, containing either Ovals, Hearts or Circles. You could use Circle punches if you have them
Scroll down for the tutorial
