Hi all, Today I'm sharing with you the card that I made to give my wonderful Mum for Mother's Day. I made this card a good few weeks ago as I've been trying to be more organised with making my cards in advance. I saw this card fold design on Pinterest and I was pleasantly surprised at how straight forward it was to make! One of the things that I love most about this card is that the main feature is hidden inside! I used the following products to make this card Blushing Bride & Whisper White carsdstock Pop of Pink DSP Large Letters Stamps & Framelits Gold Foil Sheets Blossom Builder Punch & Bunch of Blossoms Stamp Set Succulent Garden 3/8" Ribbon Combo pack Crazy for You Stamp Set (Happy Mother's Day) Thanks for reading, will post again soon!

Hi all, Hope you're all having a good week! March's classes are all about the Beautiful You Stamp Set which is definitely the most popular stamp set from the Spring/Summer seasonal catalogue. If you've looked at Pinterest, you will see this stamp set being used alot! It is such a versatile set and looks fab however it is used! Alot of my customers have bought this stamp set so I thought it would be a good idea to put together a class. I love to make sets of coordinated notecards. They make for great gifts and always go down very well at craft fairs! The box contains 5 notecards/envelopes which have been decorated with the Falling in Love Designer Series Paper set which is gorgeous pastels and really compliments the sentiments in the stamp set! The lady images have been coloured in using the new Watercolour Pencils and wash stamps from the set. I made the box from Kraft card using the Envelope Punch Board. Starting with a 9"x9" piece of card, line the card up at 3, 1/8" and punch/score on all 4 sides. Then using the same piece of card, punch/score again with a starting point of 4,5/8". The box is then secured closed with the belly band. I used the following products to create this set: Watercolour Pencils & Aqua Painters Dies - Stitched Shapes Framelits & Mini Treat Bag Thinlits (banner die) Beautiful You stamp set Basic Black Stazon Ink, Blushing Bride, Pool Party & Sahara Sand Falling in Love DSP & cardstock Whisper White Notecards & envelopes Falling Petals Textured Impression Embossing Folder Triple Banner Punch & Envelope Punch Board Burlap Ribbon Gold Bow Paper Clip If you would like to order any of these products or find out about classes that I offer, please message me!
Stacey xxx Hi all, I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. We managed some quality family time with a trip to the zoo and it was so nice to be outside in the fresh air making memories together! I've managed quite a bit of craft time this week (hooray!) so i'm on track with this week's Global Design Project challenge! This week we are casing the designer.... I love the colour combo that Kylie has used here but I've chosen to case just the style of card ... For this card I have used the following products:
To make this card
Tempting Turquoise measuring 3,1/4" x 5,3/4
I hope you like my entry, thanks for reading!
Stacey xx Hi all, A bit late in the week for me but I got there eventually! This week's Global Design Project challenge is a theme week all about Winged Creatures! What does Winged Creatures mean to me?! Well, Butterflies were what stood out to me first, however this challenge is designed to get you crafting out of your comfort zone, well for me that's the idea anyway so I didn't reach for my many butterfly stamps and dies...instead I opted for an unused stamp set that I have in my stock...Best Birds! I love this stampset and I have many projects pinned to Pinterest unsing it but nope it's still untouched...until this week! The card measures 4" x 5, 3/4". Using the Stazon ink I have stamped the branch onto watercolour paper and then the bird to get the image that the bird is standing on the branch. I also stamped "it's a good day". On a seperate piece of Watercolour Paper I have stamped the bird again and 3 flowers. Using the watercolour pencils and an aqua painter I have coloured the images in and left to dry. Whilst there are coordinating framelits for this stamp set, I didn't purchase them so I have cut the bbird and flowers out using my good old scissors. I have attached the bird and the flowers to the base image using Dimensional foam pads. To make the edge of the watercolour paper & DSP look rough, I have scratched the edge using the blade of my scissors. The DSP has been stuck to the Early Espresso cardstock, trim added and the image using dimensionals to make it stand out. Watercolouring is still very new to me but overall my technique is improving. This isn't a traditonal "my style" of card but I hope you like it! To purchase any of these items that I have used, please click "visit my shop" below.

Stacey.xx Hi all, This months' project class was based around the Succulents Bundle that is one of the new products available in the Spring/Summer seasonal catalogue. This set jumped out of the catalogue at me as it screams Spring and who doesn't love spring?!! For this class I wanted to make something more than a card as the large flower dies make the most beautiful 3D flowers....and this is what they made! I picked the flower pots up from Wilkinsons and used some Sisal that I purchased from Hobbycraft and ordinary dressmaker pins with a pearl top. To order this stamp set, please click the online shop link below and don't forget with the current Sale-a-Bration promotion running until the end of March, you can choose a limited edition FREE item when you spend £45!
Stacey xx Hi all, Hope you're all managing to shelter from this horrible weather we are experiencing at the moment. Today I am sharing with you a 3-d project which makes a nice change from the usual cards! These boxes measure 2" square and they are really handy for small gifts. I like to fill mine with sweet treats for table gifts and that's exactly the idea behind this project. Filled with lovely mints, I have added a couple of strips of DSP, and some ribbon and bakers twine to secure. The tag is made from a few punched shapes and a stamp set that is just perfect for this sort of project! All of these products are available to order now and remember you can order a FREE Sale-a-Bration product with orders of £45! Click SHOP NOW to go to the main website to order.
Stacey xx Hi all, Hope you all had a fab weekend! I had a week off from this challenge last week but i've had some quality crafting time this weekend so i'm back on track! This weeks Global Design Project challenge is a colour palette challenge involving the following 3 colours! And here's my entry... This stamp set is one of the FREE stamp sets currently available on this years Sale-a-Bration promotion. Please click here to visit my online shop! Thanks for reading!
Stacey xxx Hi all, Hope you had a good week! Not a great deal to report from me which makes a nice change! It's THEME week over at the Global Design Project These days it takes me a bit of time to create a 3D project and as you know I don't have great deal of time at the moment so I resorted to my old friend Pinterest for some much needed inspiration! As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I have met many new friends, all of which inspire me in different ways but one of my favourites for creating gorgeous boxes is Heidi from Flutter By Heidi. I wasn't very surprised when it was one of Heidi's creations that jumped out from Pinterest that made me think "Oh that's nice!" Maybe it was because my favourite Ferrero Richer chocolates were in the picture too ha! So this is my take on Heidi's lovely Elegant Envelope Punch Board Top Opening Box! The box is ultimately made up from a sheet of A4 cardstock, and some DSP plus some ribbon!
I sat and made this box at my weekly craft group on Tuesday and it really was straight forward, fun and quite quick to make. These are the products that I used to make my box: I used Night of Navy cardstock for the box. The DSP comes from the set called Affectionately Yours "Sending Love" comes from the Designer Tin of Cards stamp set and is stamped in Night of Navy ink. I have stamped some flowers & leaves around the sentiment whch come from the stamp set called "Love & Affection". The trim I have used is Ruched Ribbon in Flirty Flamingo. Thanks for the inspiration Heidi! Click here to visit Flutter by Heidi and see how the box is made.

Stacey xx Hi all, A new week which means a new Global Design Project challenge! Believe it or not I actually managed to complete this on Tuesday but after a busy week I am only just getting around to posting my entry! This week was focussed on a sketch. I've done a few of these in the past and I always find sketches really useful if you're stuck for a design starting point. They're great for any occasion and it doesn't matter what produts you're using and everyone interprets them differently! And here is what I came up with... I have used a selection of different products for this card and the colour theme I have used is Copper, Pear Pizazz and Very Vanilla. These are the details... Very Vanilla cardstock for the card base (11, 1/2" x 4", folded in half). Pear Pizazz cardstock for the embossed layer. The emobossing folder I used is called Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This layer measures 2,3/4" x 3, 3/4". Very Vanilla cardstock stamped with the leaf stamp from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set in Pear Pizazz at random. This strip measures 1,1/4" x 4". I have used a strip of the copper dot washi tape from the Affectionately Yours washi tape bundle along the edge of the embossed layer. "Thinking of You" comes from the Crazy About You stamp set. I have stamped the sentiment once and cut them out individually. They are attached using Dimensionals foam pads. "You" has been die cut using Copper Foil and the Hello You thinlits. The Butterfly has been die cut using Very Vanilla cardstock and the detailled butterfly from "Bold Butterfly Framelits.

Check back next week when the challenge will be around a "theme"! Have a great weekend Stacey xxx Hi all, I hope you all enjoyed the rest of your week and weekend! We had a very excited little girl here when she saw the snow for the first time. I have never really been all that keen on snow but it wad magical seeing Florence as excited as she was when it finally landed and she could get outside! A fairly quiet week on the crafting front for me this week. It was lovely to get together with friends at the return of my weekly craft group. Lots of crafting, from card making to quilting, scrapbooking and laughter! Anyway...onto a cute little note card that I did get around to making! I often forget to use Black & White as a background and usually go for a coordinating colour but I always like how simple and striking the monotone effect makes colours 'pop'!
The products I used were- Birthday Blooms stamp set Aqua Painter Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green ink to colour the flower Basic Black ink Crumb Cake ink to edge the layers of Whisper White |
