New Products

A FUN card

Today I am carrying on with NEW Products from the Stampin' Up!

Inspirations Book.

For some reason, I felt like a bit of fun today and after playing I made this card.

Playful Backgrounds is the set I used and as it says, it really is.

There are background spots, brush strokes, stripes and bubbles. The latter of which I have used here.

Then I stamped the brush strokes and found the fish!

Well I think they look like fish.

From Land and Sea (a brilliant nautical set) provided the Jelly Fish.

 

The grasses and the little 'Let us celebrate' message are from the lovely Balloon Celebration.

Proving that the strings for balloons can be grasses too!

The background is sponged in Soft Sky, Marina Mist, Pear Pizazz and So Saffron.

New Products

Today's project, I have made a one sheet wonder using ALL of the stamps from the 

NEW stamp set Confetti Celebration (142034) £16.00 in Clear Mount

 

I have also used ALL of the NEW In Colours for the one sheet wonder.

 

One sheet wonders don't usually have any blank spaces which I like to have in all of my projects, so I added the white band across the front and raised the greeting with Dimensionals. 

Please don't forget that you can buy 1 of each of the NEW IN Colours of Ink Pads

and also a Cardstock Pack which includes 4 sheets of each NEW In Colour and SAVE money.

Contact Cary or Gill to find out more.

New Product Inspiration

Playful Palette

 This is the first of this weeks products that we're showing.

Until Wednesday 1 st June, we are legally bound not to show the products, 

However, we can show what has been made with them.

 This card was made for a special Stampin' Up! swap and to make so many, I made some one sheet wonders to use for the backgrounds.

Yes, there's a lovely splodgy image in the set.

 

I stamped the easel in Basic Black onto Sahara Sand cardstock and cut them out.

The patterned paper in the middle of the easel is a small piece cut from the

 Designer Series Paper Stack, Playful Palette.

Loads of amazing arty designs in one pack! WOW!

The other colours used, apart from the Very Vanilla, are from the NEW range of In Colours.

 

A simple message just to finish off inside. 

Don't forget to contact either Cary or Gill for a copy of the new Inspirational Book

Intruction-Corner folds

                                       Instructions for Corner Folds.

                  Thank you for the requests for these folds that I used for the card below..

 

Starting with a square 8.5 cm by 8.5 cm

Mark the centre on each of the 4 sides. Starting with 1 corner, score between the the first 2 marks. Then a score line 1 cm from the first score line. Repeat this on all 4 sides. 

Obviously, if you use a larger square, you may want to adjust the placing of the secon score line.

 

Fold both pieces on all score lines. 

Add glue to all 4 corners, only glue half of each of the first triangles. 

Fix the DSP onto the cardstock leaving a small border all around.

Re-enforce the folds and you will find the reverse of the DSP showing slightly.  

 

The 2nd square is 6 cm by 6 cm. The DSP is 5.5 cm square.

Very simple and straightforward.
As I've said before... I don't do complicated! 
Please send a photo of the projects that you make using any of the inspirations that you find
from Cary and Gill and we will be happy to add them to the blog.
With credit to you of course.

Scoreboard crazy

Friday folds

Hello again.

Today I went folds and score lines crazy!

I was playing with a square of card as you do and things happened.

I added some DSP, changed the sizing and here is what I ended up with.

The background mat, the Whisper White one, has been scored 3 times on each side

 between all of the folded corners and adds the patterned background without stamping.

The DSP is Pop of Pink papers and they are right up my street!

B E A U T I F U L!!!

As I have added 4 squares I made a C5 card.

As you can imagine because of the folds, the card is deeper than normal. 

I have put a single dimensional under the messages and taped under the corrners so that it doesn't stand too proud.

Close up of the top of the card.

 

Close up of the bottom of the card.

Now I know that you won't know the papers that I've used. 

Yet!

They are new designs which will be out on Wednesday 1st June.

 Only 6 more days!

YIPPEE!!!!! 

Thank you for stopping by this week. I will be back next week with some new projects using the NEW PRODUCTS!!!

I hope you will like them,

Score Board Real Red and White

This is the season that weddings start to take place, so I thought I would get ahead of myself and make some wedding cards as I have a few to go to this year.

So, here is my first one using the score board.

 

This time I used the Quilting design, adding little punched hearts from the

Confetti Hearts Border Punch on the cross over points and in the top of the 2 main hearts.

It is very easy to score at an angle by just turning the paper to the angle of your own choice.

I just love Real Red cardstock! 

If you knew me you would know that I just love wearing that very same Red. 

                                             It's cheerful, bright and a very warm colour.
                                                          See you tomorrow.

Only 7 more sleeps until the new Inspiration Book comes out!
WOO! HOO!

Scoreboard

Today I went for a more subtle effect with the Score board. 

I have used Pool Party, Whisper White and Bermuda Bay.

 I love the soft and the stronger tone of the Pool Party and Bermuda Bay together. Perfect!

I Stamped the 2nd image onto the Whisper White cardstock before scoring. 

On this card, I scored vertically, every 0.5 cm.

 I matted and layered the scored sheet of Whisper White onto the Bermuda Bay which was raised with Dimensionals.

A little twist of Silver Metallic Thread to finish off.
