Simple Stamping

Today's share is a simple card and chocolate holder that I have made for my son's teacher's gift. I've used just one stamp from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set, stamped onto the beautiful Petal Promenade designer series paper. I wanted to share with you that stamping does not have to be complicated, it really can be simple and still be pretty. 


I CASEd the chocolate treat holder from Gail at Blue Rose Paper Treasures. Her tutorial can be found on her YouTube channel here. I have just made the treat holder on it's own deciding not to stick it onto a card. I made a fancy fold card, I cut an A4 piece of cardstock in half on the short side, folded it in half, then folded the top layer in half on itself (I hope that makes sense!)


The petal promenade designer series paper is a beautiful collection of photographic images. The image on the front of the card is an image that is printed multiple times on one sheet, and I have simply cut around it. I then layered it on a piece of a copper textured image.


 I am also decorating a notebook with Petal Promenade paper and adding a 2019 diary to the gift pack. The notebook and diary did not cost that much at all, making it a cost effective gift. I am making two gift packs - one for his teacher and one for his teacher aide. My son has special needs and requires supported education. His teacher and aide have been fantastic and I cannot thank them enough for every thing they have done for my son this year. 

Thanks for stopping by!

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!
