I am really pleased that the Sheltering Tree stamp set has carried over to the new catalogue. I hadn't had a chance to use it yet and with a few family birthdays approaching I thought now would be the perfect opportunity. Its lovely to stamp with and I can't wait to use it again.
With winter long behind us now and summer on its way, I found it fitting to give these cards a spring
like feel.... This is what I love about this set, just a change of colours and your projects can look like any of the four seasons.

The additional stamps included are so cute. The broom, the swing and the bicycle are all fabulous and with the stamps being photopolymer you can easily see where to line up your stamp where you want them to be.
I ùsed my Scoring Stylus tool and Simply Scored scoring board to make a raised border. I also used various punches and layers to give the sentiments some dimension.
I hope you have enjoyed my card project today. Come back on Saturday for my next project using those scraps of DSP that you can't bear to throw away.
Another quick card and a tip from me today! If you are short on time, cut a beautiful piece of Designer Series Paper and matching cardstock, stamp your sentiment and punch it out. Put it all together with some adhesive and you have a quick but lovely card!
I sent this card to a relative a few weeks ago when I really didn't have time to design and make a birthday card. It only took me 5 minutes and whilst its very simple, I do think it looks lovely and I feel it's still more personal than a shop bought card.
The Painted Petals Designer Series Paper is still available for a few months in the Stampin' Up! Spring Summer Catalogue. It's almost too beautiful to cut...
Its Day 3 of.... 7 Days of Thanks and I hope you are enjoying looking at my designs.
I made this set as a thank you gift for one of my customers using the new All Abloom Designer
Series Paper Stack. I love this pattern but there are lots of other gorgeous patterns available on this stack too!
This card has a matching pillow box which you can use to hold some chocolates or sweets.
There is also a matching notebook!
Stampin’ Blendabilites™ Markers are alcohol-based marker sets that come in a 3-pack of light, medium and dark shades (of the same colour). They can provide your projects a more saturated look with blended colours.
I wanted to share with you my first attempt at colouring with the Blendabilites™ markers. Its definitely a case of practice will make perfect (for me) with this technique!
The pictures below show the different stages of blending, so you can see how its come together.
I think this technique gives the flower a 3D effect, however, on my next attempt, I will definitely focus more on the blending and will see what I can achieve with starting with the lightest colour first!
Stampin' Up! has recommended using Whisper White Cardstock with your Blendabilites™, and because traditional alcohol markers require a bit of training, they have developed a few videos to ensure that Blendabilites™ are easy-to-use for everyone!
Here is a link to one of the videos taking you through the basic techniques. You can find more videos on the Stampin' Up! Youtube channel. To view these, just click on the Youtube icon at the top or bottom of the page.
I am going to give the videos a watch and will give this technique another go.
I would love to see your colouring with Blendabilites™ - please post a link to you photos under comments!
I hope you have had a lovely bank holiday weekend! My husband was working on Saturday so I met up with my friend Mitchell for a cheeky hog roast roll and crackling at our local butchers then I met up with my friend Jaci in Taunton and went to the cinema to watch Guardians of the Galaxy (such a funny film!).
Yesterday, my husband Phil and I went to Bath for the afternoon for a spot of shopping and finished the day with a lovely meal at Jamie's Italian. Of course the British Weather couldn't last so thankfully we planned a day at home today.
I am going to head up to my craft room soon to spend a few hours playing with my new Christmas supplies! In a few days time, the new Autumn Winter Catalogue will be available so keep an eye on my blog for all the details and sneak peeks of the products.
I hope you like my project today. Its a set of thank you cards that I sent out recently. The edges of the white cardstock have been distressed and the flowers and butterflies have been placed randomly to give this a more relaxed feel.
I used Blackberry Bliss and Wisteria Wonder for the card on the left and Island Indigo and Soft Sky for the card below.
I used the stamp set Gorgeous Grunge for the background stamping and the Bitty Butterfly, Petite Petals & Itty Bitty Accents Punch for flowers and butterflies.
I punched out the larger of the two flowers onto whisper white cardstock and sponged the edges with the two colours I was using for each design. I just love this effect.
The butterflies and small flowers were punched out onto coloured cardstock, using the darker of the two colours.
I then used Rhinestones & Pearls to add some interest to the centre of the flowers and butterflies.
I added a sentiment to the front of the card from the And Many More stamp set. I choose the word Cheers..... but you could choose any sentiment you wish!
To finish, I then decorated the inside of the cards using the Papillon Potpourri and Lots of Thanks Stamp Sets.
I would be thankful if you could leave me a comment to let me know what you think of these cards and also what you have been doing this August Bank Holiday weekend?
