Video Tutorial: How You Can "Step Up" Any Card, Easily! Using Stampin' Up! Products

Hello,
Two posts in one day! Get me ;-) If you missed the first post you can hop OVER HERE.
But for this second post I have a video tutorial for you. This tutorial was inspired by one of my ladies
who comes to class, she was saying last week that she (shock, horror) goes out and buys cards for her family! I know, right! Anyway, she said when it was a family members birthday she was wanting something a bit special and so I shared with her how to take a "Standard" size card, ie: half A4 or half 8"x11"-ish sized and make it "Special".
So, lets take a look...

And here are a few more pictures of the cards, as promised on my video :-)

The first card, using Boys Will Be Boys Stamps. See the original card HERE

Next card steps up a Giggle Greetings card. See the original card HERE

And finally this card uses Barnyard Babies.  See the original card HERE

 So, that's all from me for this evening. I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and helps you to adapt your cards to be suitable for more occasions? Do let me know!

Using Stampin' Up's Watercolour Wings for a Card Class including my TMT Video of Tips for this stamp set.

Hello,

I have a cute and easy little card for you today using the very popular, but much under-used by me, Watercolour Wings stamp set teamed with English Garden DSP. 

I made this card for a recent Stamp-a-Stack class. I have had this paper for waaay too long and not wanted to cut into it. This was something of a habit of mine before I discovered SU! but I rarely do that these days as I know I can always get more from SU! for as long as the catalogue is live.
 Any-hoo, lets share this card shall we...

 I stamped the butterfly using Soft Sky for the outer section of the wings then added in a Marina Mist centres. 

This sentiment is included in this set also.

 I just adore this designer series paper. See here that I inked the edges for a softer, more vintage look using a sponge and Crumb Cake ink, some of my ladies at class decided against doing that though as they prefered it looking more CAS.

 It's a pretty flat card for posting with the only dimension under the wings of the butterfly

So lets see my quick video sharing my tips for stamping and die cutting this butterfly...

 and finally a top view to finish today!

Well, that's it from me for today folks! I hope this TMT tip video has helped someone? If it has, please do let me know!
Thanks so much for looking today. I'm off to cut up a stack of card and finish designing this weeks 12 Weeks project ;-)

Make an Advent Calendar with a special "25" box using the Tag Topper punch. 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes. Week 3 -

Hello there and Happy Sunday to you! 

As you may have seen, if you follow me on Facebook, I had filmed and uploaded this weeks 12 weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes video on Friday, all ready to publish here yesterday :-) But, unfortunately my laptop decided it would be an amazing idea to install updates at some point after I went to bed and therefore corrupted my YouTube upload! Grr!

Anyway, I am so sorry this tutorial is a day late this week but lets get going shall we??

This week's tutorial is for this advent calendar which I have named... Advent Tags - lol! But it's so much more than just tags, lets see....

 I have designed individual, numbered tag topped pouches each holding a small chocolate from a tub.

 And a special tag topped box to hold a large sized chocolate for the 25th! 

 These boxes fit these mid sized chocolate treats.

But, what if you don't want to make advent calendars? Well, why not just swap out the numbers for a cute stamped image and make chocolates for your tree instead. Everyone needs chocolates on their tree right??

 I used Winter Wonderland Vellum sheets here. 

TIP: You can get 4 tags from the 6"x6" papers if you cut at 4" first.

Ok, lets see this long awaited video shall we....

And the measurements for the larger "25th" box for those who like written instructions too...

In Centimetres: 

10cm x 27cm. Score at 2.5cm and 7.5cm. Score at 4cm, 11.5cm, 15.5cm and 23cm.

In Inches:

4" x 10.5". Score at 1" and 3". Score at 1.5", 4.5", 6" and 9".

And here's a little picture to pin so you can easily find this tutorial later ;-)
