Mum

Mum

I had to make two Mother's Day cards in thirty minutes.

This one is my trusty Sizzix flower die (probably my most used die for speedy cards) and Cuttlebug embossing folder. Alphabet is also Sizzix.

Rock Star

Very simple. I'm trying to use up old papers (so I have an excuse to buy more) and this DCWV one is very old! Just added a stamped sentiment, stamp by SU.

Feel Better Soon

Stamps are all by Personal Impressions.
Fake stitching again!

Happy Birthday

This is all straight in real life, even the ribbon, I promise :)

Just some Anna Griffin paper highlighted with Glamour Dust, sentiment is from a Stampin Up set.

Birthday Card and Notebook

Card and notebook.

Patterned paper is DCWV. Sentiment stamp, matching punch, and cardstock all Stampin' Up.

Border punch is Martha Stewart and flowers by Prima.

Cardblank is Woodware.

hanglar stanglar

I received some stamped images a year or so ago but wasn't keen so I put them in a drawer and forgot about them.

Having a tidy out and came across them again and thought I ought to use them up.

The sentiment tag is by Kanban, the image is hanglar stanglar.

The blue card with the bunting printed on is actually the reverse of an advertising flyer from Emma Bridgewater pottery! Seemed a shame to put in the bin.

SU

Made at SU class.

I loved the little 'button' in the centre of the flower. This was made with a small punched circle of card and a strip of thin ribbon just wrapped around it.

Box

We made this box at SU class so all materials are Stampin' Up

Similar to an exploding box but without the layers inside, this was one sheet of card.

I haven't got round to printing off photographs for the inside but they should go on the plainish squares.

Steven

Bunting made with Hero Arts 'Friendly Flags' stamp set, striped paper a magazine freebie.
Name stamped with SU 'Just Perfect' alpha stamps.
Card and ribbon both SU.
Faux stitching (because I can't sew a straight line on a sewing machine!)

Flower

Papers are Papermania, flower made with SU scallop punch and SU Boho Blossoms punch.

Alphabet is Sizzix Script.

Some Glamour Dust to highlight.

Matching notebook.

Paper by Papermania, seam binding from the Ribbon Girl.

'Remember' is a Making Memories rub-on.

Notebook is a cheap one (sorry Maria!) from Tesco and have just covered the front.

Ladies at my craft club have been making lots of these notebooks and have now started attaching loops of card to the inner back cover and slipping a pencil through the loop.

SU

Twisted easel card made at SU class.

All materials Stampin' Up

SU

Made at SU class, all materials SU.

Dog

Bit of a boring one!
Bought a new Papermania die and wanted to see if it worked okay in my Cuttlebug.

No photographs!

I try to update with a new card every other day.

Yesterday I was unable to add any photographs to my blog and the problem is still unresolved :(

So I do have cards, I just can't show them.

Alien

Gift box made at SU class to match the card on previous post.
Suitable for sweets or pencils etc.

Alien

Card made at SU class.
Lots of punching. The green alien has been stamped inside the card so he peeps through the punched circle at the front.

Prom Queen

A card for my niece, her prom is later this year and I wanted to chip in towards her outfit.
Dress and stand is a Sizzix die. Alphabet is Boxed Brush by Sizzix and butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch.
After I photographed the card I decided to add some gems for a bit of bling.

Husband

Images are by Kanban, Bakers's Twine from The Ribbon Girl.
Cardstock by Stampin' Up.

Friend

All products are Stampin' Up.
The flower stamps are 'two-step' in that you stamp the solid background and then stamp again in a different colour for the detail. To enable accurate placement (wooden stamps obviously would not be an issue with clear ones) I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig.

Prior to going to SU class I had something similar but it was not as easy to use so I sold it and spent the money on the SU version. For a home-made stamp positioner I have seen people use lego and acetate/ plastic so that could be a very cheap option.

I have no connection to SU by the way, am not a demo or anything like that, so when I recommend their (or any other company's products) it is purely as a crafter.

Gift Bag

Gift bag made at SU class to match the card shown on previous post.
All materials Stampin' Up.

Birthday Wishes

Made at class, all products Stampin' Up.

Flags

Kraft card blanks by Papermania (I'm not entirely happy with the quality of these and much prefer the Woodware ones).
The flags are Hero Arts Friendly Flags clear stamps and I've pricked along the top to look like stitching.
Alphabet is Just Perfect by Stampin' Up.

Love

A gift bag to match the card on the previous post.
Just the right size for a small bag of chocolates.

The back of the bag.

Love

We made this at SU class. The plastic heart contains some chocolates and the tab on the right hand side releases them. A nice masculine Valentine's card.

We decorated the back of the card with leftovers from the front.

Just For You

We made this card at SU class to go with the mini-book shown on previous post.

Pocket Card

We made this at SU class.
It's a pocket card/ mini book made from a sheet of A4 and embellised with stamping and punches.

Love

This is something I have started but not yet finished and probably never will.
It's a Papermania mini album, they're only £3, and I have covered it with SU paper.

I think this is the card I'll give my husband this year for Valentine's Day. The album is meant to match if I have time to finish it before the 14th.

Butterfly

Patterned paper, cardstock, stamp and butterfly punch all by Stampin' Up.
Glamour Dust to highlight.

Bliss

I've used Stampin' Up patterned papers, cardstock, ink and stamps.
The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch.

Chinese New Year

To celebrate Chinese New Year.
I used SU card, ribbon, gold cord and tag punch. Embossing folders are both Cuttlebug.

Valentine's Day

Patterned paper and cardstock by SU.
Acetate is Hambly Screenprints.
