Dressed To Impress kindness card

Hi Crafty Pals,

I have had my Stampin’ Blends for a while, but have not been brave enough to try them out until recently. I shouldn’t have waited so long as they are easy to use and there are so many videos available.

I wanted to make a card that used the Dressed To Impress Photopolymer stamp set and the coordinating All Dressed Up dies. One of the dies in the set can be used to make a 3D handbag/purse/backpack and being as I love making boxes, bags etc it was a definite must have for me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I stamped the images with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Whisper White Thick cardstock and then coloured them in using the Stampin’ Blends.

I hope you like my card and if you are interested in any of the products used today you can visit my online store (or click on the images shown below). If you live in Canada I would love to have the opportunity to be your Stampin’ Up!^® demonstrator.

Have fun crafting

Poppy Hello Card

Hi Crafty Pals,

I spent a fair bit of time over the weekend creating and I am going to share my first card today.

I don’t have a huge amount of current stamps, inks, dies and cardstock as I am just getting back into crafting. I got my recent orders, but I didn’t remember to buy any ribbon or Designer Series Paper so I tried to make a background with what I do have.

I decided to create a card that you could use for many different occasions simply by swapping out the greeting for example Happy Birthday, Thank you or Happy Anniversary could all be used. The colours could be swapped for something you already have in your stash as long as they work together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The background was stamped using Pool Party ink on Pool Party cardstock so you get a tone on tone effect.

My order arrived

Hi,

I am excited as my orders arrived – one on Monday and my preorder from the upcoming August – December mini catalogue on Friday.

So during the week I did a bit more design work on the blog and am almost finished. I need a couple more elements and then I can really get going with some creating using paper and inks.

Have fun being creative

Melanie
