The Joy of Sets Challenge #JOS003

5/8/2017

6 Comments

 
Hi all,

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend!

This week I was asked to take part in a new challenge by "The Joy of Sets".  This challenge is an alphabet based challenge and this week is all about the letter C!

Picture
Challenges are set every 2 weeks, and are for use with current and retired product so it really is a great one for all Stampin' Up! lovers out there!

Anyway, the lovely Fiona Whitehead asked me to take part and how could I refuse?!

So after a busy day with the girls and a curry, I thought who wants to clean the house on a Saturday night....?!! 

Looking through my stamp sets... I own 2 that I would have been suitable and I settled on the lovely Confetti Celebration which was a new set in last year's annual catalogue that is still current!
Picture
I will be totally honest, I think that I have only used this stamp set once or twice....and it has some great sayings too!

I know that I've used the star several times in my Memories and More / Project Life albums and the large Happy Birthday sentiment is fab for using on male cards!
Picture
I have seen this background technique used quite a bit for this stamp set on Pinterest and I think it looks really effective.  I have used every stamp in the set to create a background, and then chosen 1 sentiment to use as the centrepiece.  On this card, I used the Layering Squares thinlit dies to mount the main sentiment and fussy cut the stars to add something extra.   I found that using the Stamp-a-majig tool really helpeful for making sure that my stamping was straight and not wonky. 

This was a really quick card to put together and will be great for a male birthday card!

These are the products that I have used:
I enjoyed taking part in this challenge and I look forward to joining in next time when I'm guessing it will be the letter D....now what stamp set shall I use?!!7

Happy Easter!

Hi all,

Today I am sharing with you my Easter Gifts that I have made for my family.  We love a bit of chocolate but this year I wanted to something different to buying an Easter Egg and the Basket Bunch suite is perfect for doing exactly that!
Picture
For this project I used the Basket Bunch Bundle from the Spring/Summer seasonal catalogue.  When I first saw this set in the catalogue I wasn't overly excited but after we used this set at a recent demonstrator day I just had to have it!

Picture
The mini egg cartons were a lovely touch too for this set.  They come in Very Vanilla and it really is so easy to add colour to them!

To add colour to the egg boxes, I filled a Stampin' Spritzer with rubbing alcohol (I purchased this from eBay quite resonably) and added approximately 8-10 drops of ink from the ink-refills and sprayed, leaving to dry for a few minutes.  For the lighter colours I used more drops of ink.  The spray gives a really good even colour to the boxes. 
If you're going to try this, please make sure you do so in a well-ventillated area as the alcohol smell is quite intense.

Picture
Picture
For the top of the boxes I cut out the largest square from the Stitched Shapes Framelit set.  Using craft card I die cut the largest scallop square from the Layering Squares Framelits  and the basket is from the Basket Bunch set.

I stamped a selection of flowers, bunnies and leaves using Stazon ink onto Whisper White cardstock, coloured using Watercolour Pencils with an Aqua Painter and die cut out.  They are added to the basket using Dimensional Foam Pads.

The sentiment is stamped onto Vellum Cardstock, and cut out using the Classic Label Punch.  I have added these to the basket using Mini Glue Dots.  To finish I added a self-adhesive Enamel Shape embellishment in a co-ordinating colour. 

The egg cartons are secured using Burlap Ribbon which coordinates lovely with the craft card colour.

The products that I used are found below.  Sadly some of these products have been listed as being retired this week and have sold out already :-(  Please click the shop now button at the bottom of this post to check what is still available. 
Thank you for reading, I hope you all enjoy a lovely restful Easter weekend!

July Card Class...final card!

12/7/2016

Hi all!

Hope you're having a good week so far! We found out yesterday we're expecting another little girl in november sk it's smiles all round at the manor especially for little Florence who has been adamant that she's having a sister right from the start!

Bringing you the final card from this month's card class...and the fancy fold instalment!

Each month i try to include a card that is folded slightly differently than the normal style. Sometimes they're reallt fancy and other times they're just slightly fancy!
Picture
Once the card has been folded it makes a 5" x 5" square card.

To create this style of card, rather than scoring in the middle of the card, score it at 2.5" from either end.

I have added some DSP to the side panels of the card from the Pop of Pink range.

​For the cross-over section in the middle I have used the Layering Square Dies to create a frame effect and layered using the new Foam Adhesive Strips.

The sentiment comes from the Designer Tin of Cards set and the silver butterfly shapes are cut from the Sunshine Wishes Framelits Dies.
Picture
I liked this "fancy fold" card as it looks effective but is so easy to make and could be great for using up all those off-cuts of DSP we all keep!

Thay concludes our card class set for July. I hoped you liked the cardsm

Next month I will be doing a notecard and box set at the card class...dates to follow!

Have a great week!
Stacey
