Candy Cane Season Bundle

Hi and thank you for visiting my blog, a place for me to share my creations and my love of Stampin' Up! products. For me personally, card making and craft is a therapy, I'm a busy mum of four, married to a very supportive husband, volunteer in my local community and work part time. My craft room is my space where I can go and close the doors on my busy day and immerse myself in pretty papers, inks and stamps. It's so relaxing creating cards for family and friends. I love creating and sharing my work with other like minded creative people like yourself.

I'm holding my first ever card class next week with a few of my craft loving friends and I thought what better time to start on my Christmas card making. I bought the Candy Cane Season bundle as I thought it was a great deal getting the stamp and punch in the one pack and I could see endless possibilities with the different stamp combinations.

We will be making two greeting cards and a set of 3x3 notecards. Each showing different techniques such as stamping backgrounds, smooching and layering designer papers and stamps. The products used are:

Festive Farmhouse cardstock and designer series paper

Whisper White card stock

Cherry Cobbler ink

Mossy Meadow ink

You can find all of these products in the current holiday catalogue. Click on the images below to view both the holiday and annual catalogues. They are packed with lots of inspiration and of course all of the amazing Stampin' Up! products.

Hello and thank you for stopping by. Today I am sharing how I stepped up a simple card design by adding extra elements for a totally different look. You may have heard in the Stampin' Up!/card making world the terms Beginner, Casual and Avid crafter. After a lot of research in to understanding their audience Stampin' Up! came up with these three levels to describe the type of crafters in their worldwide community. I have created three cards using the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and coordinating dies and designer series paper.

New online classes launched

With the kids off to school this week I am jumping back into blogging and tutorials. I have added online classes to my schedule this year but before I explain all of that, here is my first tutorial for 2020. I have used the Timeless Tropical bundle and Sailing Home stamp set to create this silhouette card. This reminds me of my first overseas trip to Fiji in 2018 for my brothers wedding. I created the background using the sponge brayer and three inks - grapefruit grove, so saffron and petal pink. The palm trees, birds and sentiment are stamped in memento black ink. I love being able to mix and match different stamp sets and I think the birds look great on this card. To see how I've put this all together, view the time lapse video below. All of the measurements and supplies are listed in the video description. New Online Classes I have been asked by several customers if I could create online classes in 2020, so here they are!
