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 Masculine Vintage Style Worlds Greatest Husband Card Stampin Up! UK

Today I have another masculine card for you. It is another card made using the Guy Greetings stamp set. I have left the sentiment simple, so you can decide which of the sentiments in this Stamp Set, is appropriate for your card or scrapbook page.

If you are wondering if the background is a single stamp? The answer is no. The background is stamped using a random pattern created with a mixture of all the sentiments in the stamp set.

I started by stamping the p outside edge and then randomly using stamps the work from that outside border, and working in towards the centre .

I used Sahara Sand Ink Pad onto Very Vanilla cardstock for a subtle tone on tone background.

I then stamped the main stamps onto Very Vanilla Cardstock using Night of Navy Ink Pad & fussy cut them out with my paper snips. The anchor was stamped directly into one corner of the panel., and then mat onto a Night of Navy Card Base

The Boxer was stamped using Archival Basic Black Ink Pad and coloured using my Aquapainter for a watercolour effect. This element was fussy cut out and mounted onto the card base .

Fussy Cut Pop of Paradise Tropical Card with added Glimmer Stampin Up! UK

Today I have a fun Tropical themed Card for you, and I have included a video tutorial for you below.

And if you don't already feel confident Fussy Cutting cutting out elements by hand). you will be by the end of this project.

The key with fussy cutting is rotating the cardstock/paper and keeping the scissors still. In the video it can appear that I am not following my own advice, but if you watch closely, I am rotating my wrist whilst keeping the scissors stationary.

The best way too practice is to stamp a mixture of simple and complex images onto some scrap cardstock and practice, practice, practice, and all of a sudden you will have it.

I did try stamping most of the elements straight onto the cardstock, but it just wasn't doing it for me, as I wanted that lush sense of the rain forest. I have used 3 different shades of green to create the background .

The Pineapple Layer was created using a Marker to Stamp Technique using a combination of Delightful Dijon & Mint Macaron Stampin Write Markers to keep the project co-ordinated. And the stamped border panel was then mat onto Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper to add that sparkle I associate with the Carnival Feel of this card.
