A pocket full of cards - SAB 2013

Today I have the last of the projects we made at Victoria's training event. This project was designed by her friend Nicola Parr. We made 4 small cards which fitted, with their envelopes, into a small card holder:



We used a variety of stamp sets, some of which are FREE as part of Sale-A-Bration. Here's the butterfly from Blooming Marvellous, which is FREE with a £45 order.
 

This card uses the 'Thanks!' from Vintage Verses which is one of the FREE sets, and the butterfly from Blooming Marvellous:

 

This card uses the new Sizzlet die - Pinwheel: 

And this one uses 2 pinwheels:
 

 

Here's a closer look at the little wallet. This was very easy to do and uses one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits for the decorative edge.

 The greeting which is a bit difficult to see says 'Just Because' and is from the FREE Vintage Verses set. As with all the other sets this is FREE with a £45 order. This is what the set looks like:



I'll be back soon with more. x

Blooming Marvellous re-inker technique, SAB 2013

Hello again everyone, as promised these are some of the other cards we made at Victoria's training day, using the FREE Blooming Marvellous stamp set. The top 3 cards use the bird stamp and the bottom 3 cards use the butterfly stamp:

 

These cards were made using the re-inker technique. I have seen this on the internet but had never done it, until team training. This was so easy to do - you put a couple of baby wipes in the bottom of an airtight container and spinkle some drops of different coloured re-inkers on it, covering the baby wipes. You then use this as your ink pad. I used Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo and Marina Mist. Here are some close ups:

 

Can you see the beautiful colour variations?

I loved doing this and needless to say I have now bought a variety of re-inkers and we'll do a class on this soon. If you would like to get this lovely set, all you need to do is place an order for £45, the set will then be yours for FREE.


I'll be back soon with one of the other
 Sale-A-Bration sets. x

Patterned Occasions - Sale-A-Bration 2013

Good morning everyone, a couple of weeks ago I attended my lovely upline Victoria's team training event. These days are usually great fun and we get to play with lots of goodies. The emphasis of this training day was Sale-A-Bration and we got to use some of the lovely stamp sets which you can get for FREE with a £45 order.

Victoria always designs very colourful cards and these are the cards we made with the  FREE Patterned Occassions stamp set and the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP:




The colours used for these cards are Melon Mambo, Marina Mist and Lucky Limeade and we also used the FREE Vine Street embossing folder. Here are the cards in more detail:

The elephant:

The plaster:

The jeans:

The teacups:

and the cupcakes:

 

 All of the stamps also have a sentiment. This is what the set looks like:
 

 

If you would like to make these cards and get this set for free, then just place an order for £45 and choose your FREE product. I'll show you some cards made with the FREE Blooming Marvellous stamp set next time. x

 

 

An Envelope Full of Love

Morning everyone, I'm going to show you one of the Valentine projects today. This card uses the Scallop Envelope die and is pretty easy to make:




The base card is Pool Party cardstock and the DSP is More Amore, which is one of my favourites. You can find it in the new Spring/Summer catalogue (see link and picture at the side of my blog).

We used the triple heart punch (now retired) and the small heart punch to punch hearts out of Primrose Petals, Real Red and Pool Party cardstock. If you don't want to use hearts, you can use a flower punch such as the Boho Blossoms punch instead.

The sentiment is from the Sale-A-Bration set Vintage Verses, which can be yours free, with a £45 order (see below). I happened to have some pink heart crystals (not SU) which completed the look.


 



I will also share this small gift:which we made:



This is a small cellephone bag (available from Stampin Up, page 163), filled with pink smarties. I used the You are Loved stamp set and Decorative Label punch, to create the topper.

 

Don't forget to look at the new Spring/Summer catalogue, and I'll be back with more soon. x
