Simply Pressed Clay

Blog Hop 

Stampin' Up! Simply Pressed Clay

I've had the most amazing time playing with the Simply Pressed Clay and Moulds.

A must buy, It's brilliant, fantastic value and sooo versatile! 

This card was made using the flower from Papaya Collage and the words are from Perfectly Penned. 2 brilliant stamp sets that have been so popular.

I've used Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White cardstock. The Scallop Trim Border Punch and even managed the corners!

These are the 2 sheets that I've made to show some of the possible ways that the Simply Pressed Clay can be used. The only limit is your own imagination.

  

                    

I have now made 2 different sets of these sheets and the pack has still loads more left!

WOW! 

 What perfect value!
Have fun,
Gill

Stampin' Stars Annual Catalogue Blog Hop

Well it finally arrived....... the much anticipated annual catalgue from Stampi' Up!

Boy it is a goody filled with the most lush and inspiring products and of course what Stampin' Up! is renowned the world over for fantastic stamps!!!!

Any way before I get completely carried away and my bank account suffers any more take a look at what we've been up to using our sneak peek products to create for today's Stampin' Stars blog hop.

If you've just arrived from the lovely Nicky's blog over at http://www.nickyjohncock.blogspot.co.uk/ then welcome and if you haven't be sure to pop over and see her inspiring project :)

Well here is my project.
The card is a fun 3d frame card made using whisper white card stock and a mat of melon mambo card stock to highlight the stamped and embossed image.

Made using the lovely Wildflower Meadow single stamp and co-ordinating texture embossing folder  

The card also uses the scallop trim border punch

and the gorgeous bitty butterfly and elegant butterfly punches.

 The colours used are melon mambo, daffodil delight and pear pizzaz. The colour combo was inspired by the paper in the background of the photo. This beautiful paper is from the gingham garden designer series paper.

well if you'd like to leave a comment it would be great but please do pop over to the next person in this great blog hop Natasha over at http://heartsyoucrafts.blogspot.co.uk/ and make sure you follow all the way through and see the wonderful inspiration that there is on offer.

So here they are

Isn't is great that one stamp set can be used to make so many different styles????

Any way the next blog on this blog hop is over at Kim. to see her creations go to

Happy Easter to you all.

Yesterday Gill and I went along to a local dementia care home and helped the residents make an Easter card.

Fun was had by us all Here is a picture of the card we designed for them to make up.
The flower is from the mixed bunch stamp set and the embossing folder is the oh so versatile honeycomb one from the latest Spring Summer mini catalogue from Stampin' Up!

Well have a lovely bank holiday weekend everyone and here's hoping the Easter bunny arrives at mine on Sunday :)

Have fun

Scallop Trim Border and Corner Punches

I played with left over pieces of cardstock to make these cards.

My Special Day, Forever Young, Curly Cute and Delightful Dozen stamp sets. Obviously, I used the 2 Scallop Trim punches as well as the Modern Label and Corner punches. 

                                     

The following card I used both the Scallop and Hearts from the Adorning Accents Folders, Stitched Satin Ribbon, discontinued satin ribbon and Rhinestones to complete.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

The Lattice Bigz Die

I love this die just like all the others and played around with different ideas. 

Using the whole image on it's own and sticking 2 together I've got two different effects. For the first 3 I used stamps from; Bring on  the Cake, For My Family, My Friend and Papaya Collage. Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Finishing Touches Edgelits, Stripes Embossing Folder, a piece of Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Rhinestones and Pearls finish these off. The flower on the bird card is made from the pieces that came out of the lattice die.

The next 4 cards were made by cutting into the Lattice.

The stamps used for them were; Perfect Postage, Petite Pairs, Creative Elements, Curly Cute and Delightful Dozen. Chevron Embossing Folder, Delicate Doilies Sizzlits as well as Scallop Square, Modern Label, Itty Bitty Shapes, Postage Stamp and 1" Square punches. Crochet Trim, Stitched Satin and Striped Organdy Ribbons topped off with Rhinestones and Pearls.
