Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Drinks Galore

Hi Crafters,

The Global Stamping Friends are back with another great blog hop.  This month we are celebrating all things liquid and refreshing with a Drinks Galore hop!

I chose to showcase two stamp sets featuring yummy drinks!  The first set was used to create the background and features the lemonade image from A Good Day.  I combined this set with Coffee Cafe to create the topper image.  The sentiment came from A Good Day too.

I created a card blank in Daffodil Delight.  I heat embossed the lemonade image in white on Shimmery White cardstock and then used my Aqua Painter to give a wash over the whole background in Daffodil Delight.  I added the borders from the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch in Coastal Cabana and adhered these with Tear and Tape which is super strong.  I stamped and fussy cut the ice cubes but used a Framelits die for the straw and vellum glass.  I stamped the sentiment in Daffodil Delight and punched out using a 1 3/8" scalloped circle punch.  

Thanks so much for stopping by on your hop around.  To keep hopping, head over to Marieke's blog using the clickable image below for more inspiration.  

Happy crafting,

Oh Happy Day!

Hi Crafters,

I was away last week for a family wedding and although the weather was terrible, the wedding was beautiful! I might be a bit biased but I think my 2 year old niece stole the show!

I'm back to the craft room and it's time to celebrate as the Daisy Punch and Delightful Daisy Bundle are available to order!  I would highly recommend the bundle - it's really versatile and you can use the punch separately too.

I have a confession!  I really struggle to use patterned papers in my projects!  I have been trying to use it more often as I have mountains of the stuff!  This is a clean and simple design perfect for beginners.  

I have used the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper in Powder Pink, accented with some washi tape which comes in a set of five in a pink theme.  I cut two daisies using the Daisy Punch in Gold Glimmer Paper and attached with Fast Fuse.  The sentiment comes from the Happiest of Days stamp set and I heat embossed this in gold.  

Don't forgot that the Bonus Days promotion ends on Monday 31 July.  This means that for every £45 you spend, you receive a £4.50 coupon towards an order in August.  A great way to save on your wish list.

If you would like to earn an ever bigger discount, why not join my team and become an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  It is heaps of fun and you can earn free products delivered straight to your door.  If you would like more information on either of these promotions, please see my post giving all the details.

Happy crafting,
Rachel

Stamper's Delight!

Hello again,

I'm back with another Christmas card to give you plenty of inspiration for the festive season.  This card caused a bit of a stir on a demonstrators only page on Facebook, receiving over 1100 likes!  I was absolutely astonished and so delighted that so many people had taken the time to like my design.

I used one of my favourite Christmas sets - Peaceful Pines and started with an A4 piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Thinking of  a clock, I stamped first at 12, then at 6, 3 and 9.  I filled in the blank spaces and some are lined up better than others!  I added gold glimmer paper stars and a sentiment for the centre.  I have become so attached to this card that I'm not sure I'll be able to part with it now!

Happy crafting,

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my new blog.  If you've popped over from my previous blog, thank you for sticking with me.  But if you are new to Stampin' Up! you are really in for a treat.  I will be showcasing Stampin' Up! products on this blog and hope to inspire you with my makes.  In order to kick things off, I have made a card using some of my favourites from the Stampin' Up! annual catalogue 2016/17.  There are so many lovely products.  If you would like to see more simply click on the catalogue picture to the right.

I masked off a section of Whisper White cardstock and stamped using Sweet Sugarplum and Night of Navy with the Blooms and Wishes stamp set.  After removing the masking tape, I added three butterflies, using the Bitty Butterfly and Elegant Butterfly punches, in matching cardstock.  I shaped the wings for dimension.  I created the sentiment with the Thoughtful Banners stamp set and Classic Label Punch in the same in colours.  For more information on any of the featured products, simply click on the supply list at the end of this post.  And now for a close-up!

Happy crafting,
