Hostess Happy Birthday Everyone with Flowering Flourishes Stampin Up! UK

For a few weeks, I am having to reduce how often I can do my blogs and videos, as we continue to have repeated disruption to our internet connections. I feel at a loss, but I would rather do this, and make sure the internet is reliable again, rather than letting you guys down.

So today I have a super quick and super easy feminine Birthday Card for you ... I am participating with a Hashtag  Project,  #imbringingbackbirthdays

This is a campaign to get us all posting birthday cards via the Royal Mail, rather than posting digitally.

So, if you would like to receive a blank handmade birthday card, then send me a message with your name and address, and I will get them out to you.

The one thing I ask, is that you direct 5 people to my blog, Facebook page YouTube channel etc, and let them know I will send them cards too, if they would like one. So feel free to pass the message on!

You will find all my details at the bottom of today's blog post or on the Contact Me Tab on this blog

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.

Friendly Wishes Work of Art Bohemian Card with a Stamping Off Technique

The card I am sharing with you today uses a Stamping Off Technique. Put simply, stamping off means you ink up your stamp, and then stamp onto scrap paper before stamping onto the cardstock, without re-inking the stamp.

In this example, I used the Friendly Wishes Stamp Set to stamp the main image onto Shimmery White Cardstock using the Archival Basic Black Ink Pad, and then used a combination of Melon Mambo & Rich Razzelberry Classic Ink Pads (both from the Brights Colour Collection) with the stamping off technique to over-stamp the sentiment using the smaller faux watercolour stamp, from the Work of Art Stamp Set. The bohemian Designer Series Paper co-ordinated with all the other colours in the Brights Collection from Stampin Up. The card was decorated with some open loops of Silver Thread and a Blossom Accent (resin flower).
