Using Stampin' Up's Confetti Celebration for a Balloon Card

Hello there,

Today's card started out as a sketch, something I often do when I need a place to start making a card. Yes, we all get the dreaded "crafter's block" otherwise known as lack of mojo ;-)

As you can see my mojo was definitely kick-started by the sketch and this is the card I made, even if it did only barely resemble the sketch at the end ;-)

 This "hooray" is from the Confetti Celebrations stamp set and I used the Balloon Framelits dies to cut this out.

 The DSP is the (now retired) pad It's My Party.

 And of course, sequins!

OK, so I have been v-e-r-y busy in the craft room this last couple of days so I have a lot to share over the next few days! What is your favourite item in the new catalogue? Let me know in the comments....

Happy Stampin'

A4 Milk Carton Video: A (non) Two Minute and (non) Tuesday Post ;-)

Hello there,

*Edit to say* I had this post all ready to go yesterday but unfortunately YouTube was taking an age to upload the video! So, for this week only it's a Not Two Minute and Not Tuesday video! Please, I hope you enjoy it though, whenever you see it :-) xxx

I'm here today with a new video but a much longer one than the usual Two Minute Tuesday. It's a nearly nine minute video sharing one of my very first photo tutorials I ever had on here making a milk carton from one sheet of A4 card and using very minimal supplies. Here I have used the sweet stamp set Think Happy and Pool Party card and ink, take a look... 

 I stamped this sentiment from the Celebrate Today set and the bow is die cut from Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper (not Iridescent Ice like I *may* have called it in the video ;-))

 I edged this with a SU! marker pen to give it the pink edge, please see the video for top tips. 

Also in the video I mention the Melon Mambo blendabilities for colouring the pearls, these are no longer available, sadly :-(

 The pretty dazzling diamonds banner die-cut

 and a matching pair ;-)

So, shall we take a look at the video? Cool!

Well, I really hope you have enjoyed today's video tutorial and I'll be back tomorrow with a new card from class this week.

Thanks for looking today,

Stampin' Hugs,

Using Celebrate Today by Stampin' Up!

Happy Saturday to you!

We have been out and about today as our kettle broke this morning! What a pain! Anyway, on the up side we have had a lovely tea while we were out so no cooking for me tonight, yay :-)

The card I have for you today is another I made a few weeks back using the Celebrate Today stamps and framelits dies in a Gold, Pistachio and Coral colour way...

 I stamped these sprinkles in Versamark and heat embossed in gold powder then die cut the balloon with the framelits before inking the edges

 This sentiment from the same set was stamped and heat embossed in coral straight onto this gorgeous Gold Printed Vellum, which btw is on offer (along with 7 other things) until Tuesday 11pm (10/03/15) in the Weekly Deals

 And a side view to finish today

 I love these colours together, what do you think? 

I'm off now to watch a film with the kids but I'll be back tomorrow with another card for you.

Thanks fro stopping by!
