Three Cards with the All Togther Designer Paper

Here are three ideas for you using the All Together Designer Paper all using the pattern with the row of hands.

For this first card I used most of the new Stampin’ Blends skin tone colours to colour the hands and then added the Here For You die onto some vellum just to help it stand out from the background of hands.

This second card uses the same layout but I’ve swapped the skin tones for a rainbow of hands in Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue Night of Navy and Blackberry Bliss.

My third card was a happy accident as when I turned the rainbow hands sheet over to adhered to the Basic Black base I loved what I found…so made that into a card too!

This card is my favourite and think it shows the more you create the more the creative ideas flow.

There are plenty of other great designs in the All Togther Designer Paper which is fast becoming one of my favourites to reach for.

Kite Delight, Simple to Stepped Up

For my Simple to Stepped Up project this week I’m using the Kite Delight stamp set and the new Cloud Punch.

For my Simple card I’ve just stamped onto Basic white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

For the second step I’ve added in some Pool Party clouds and then stamped the kites onto some of the Simply Marbleous Designer Paper, cut them out and adhered over the top of the clouds. I’ve also added a Pool Party matt behind the stamped to add some colour.

For my Stepped Up version I added in punched clouds from the Sunshine and Rainbows Designer Paper and used some black baker’s twine for the tail of the kite along with cut out bows.

Which is your favourite version? I like the middle version myself simple and stylish.

In The Moment Card Trio

These three cards have all been made using the In the Moment stamp set and the free Sale-A-Bration paper Daffodil Afternoon. I found the patterns and colours in the Daffodil Afternoon bold and bright so today I’m sharing some of the more subtle patterns with these very feminine feeling cards.

The images in the In the Moment are perfect for colouring in any medium, today I’ve chosen Stampin’ Blends’ as the are my favourite. Ive gone with a very muted palette of Balmy Blue, Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink, Pale Papapya with a hint of Flirty Flamingo and Soft Suede.

I love how this pattern of paper matches the window behind the girl. I’ve added three of the Elegant Faceted Gems in Petal Pink to the corner of this card.

For this card I added a little sparkle with the Flirty Flamingo 1/4″ Gold Metallic Ribbon.

Hope you like this little card trio.

Tuesday Inspiration: Awesome Otters

How cute are these little otters? I love when Stampin’ Up! release a new animal stamp set and this one is no exception, my favourite stamp is the little otter with the fish…adorable!

Here is a quick card I made using the free Awesome Otters stamp set:

Here are some more examples that the Stampin’ Up! concept artists have created, these can all be found in the Sale-A-Bration brochue.



Love this card usin the Picture This die to create the peep holes for the otters and the use of the Simply Marbelous DSP and the Pebble Enamel Shapes really add to the watery feel of the card.

This card uses just the party hat to create a simple little birthday card, reminds me to take a good look at all the stamps included in a set not just the focal images.

This cute little otter has been added to a tag for this birthday gift.

Hope these cute little projects have given you a closer insight into the Awesome Otters set availble now until the end of February with a purchase over £45/€50.

Step it up Sunday: Nature’s Harvest

Today I’m sharing a three cards to show you how you can take a project from simple to stepped up, this week I’m using products from the Harvest Meadow suite.

For the first card I simply stamped the Black Eyed Susan’s onto a white tag and then coloured with Stampin’ Blends. The background is a layer of designer paper from the Harvest Meadow Designer Paper. I then added a simple sentiment from the stamp set Nature’s Harvest and cut it with the Harvest Dies.

For the second card I stamped the flowers on seperate cardstock and then die cut them before adhering to the tag to add some height. I also added a Baker’s Twine bow in Crumb Cake.

For the final card I added a layer of the new Cork Speciality Paper, I love this paper it feels cork but is so so thin so doesn’t add much bulk to your proect. I also added a diecut of wheat behind the tag. As a final touch I added some of the Brushed Metallic Gems in Copper.

Which step is your favourite? I love all three and can’t wait to pull this suite of products out again.
