Fabulous You - Coloured shoe

Good morning everyone. This is the last card we made using the Fabulous You set. This was quite fiddly to colour in but worth the effort, I think:

We stamped the shoe twice so we could cut out some of the flowers to use them to frame the sentiment:

We also used a bit of glitter which you can hopefully see in the photo above. The inside of the card was stamped with another shoe and butterfly:

And here is a close up of the coloured-in shoe. You can see we cut out the butterfly and gave it a glittery flight path:

I hope you have enjoyed the 3 versions of the same shoe stamp. Remember you can only get this set while stocks last, and only until the 30th June. It won't be in the new catalogue so if you like it, don't miss out. It's only £9.95 for the clear set and £13.95 for the wooden set. 

I'll be back soon with something different. x

Wedding Shoe

Hello again everyone. This is the second card we made and this one is much more subtle which is why I made it into a wedding card:

This time we stamped the shoe and the butterfly background in Versamark ink and embossed it using satin embossing powder (not Stampin' Up'). I am making a real effort to use up some retired products so unfortunately the DSP is no longer available. The greeting is from a lovely set of sentiments called A Dozen Thoughts. We used a fork to make a bow out of Crumb Cake seam binding:

Here's another close up of the embossing:

Check back soon for the last card, which will be a more colourful version of the shoe. x

Fabulous You - Red card

Hi everyone, where does time go? I've not blogged for ages and have lots to catch up on and show you. I'm going to show you the cards we made in a class a while ago, using the Fabulous You stamp set. This is the first card:

The image was stamped and embossed with black embossing powder. The plain red card was embossed using an embossing folder, and the Polka Dot Parade designer paper was added with a black bow (These papers are also retiring). Simple but effective I hope you'll agree. We did add some glitter to the flowers on the shoe which I've tried to show in this close up although it is difficult to see:

The stamp set comes with this lovely greeting and the small butterfly, which we used on the inside:

This set will be retiring so if you like the cards I'm showing you, please make sure you go to my website www.mapleleafstampin.stampinup.net to order yours before they are sold out.

Back in a few days to show you another card using this set. x
