Using Stampin' Up's Pleasant Poppies for a Spotlight Technique

Hi there,

Todays post shares with you a card we made at class a couple of weeks ago. Sadly this is one of the stamp sets that SU! retired this week and it's sold out already but I thought I would still share this with you just in case you are lucky enough to own this stamp already ;-)

 We stamped this section a second time before colouring it with blender pens and ink pads

This sentiment is actually from Guy Greetings! 

It works great for girls cards too when stamped in a pretty colour don't you think? 

 This heart shape was from the now retiring hearts collection framelits. 

They are currently available at half price right now: Link at the end of this post

 A side view

 and a top view to finish

Well, that's all from me for today, I hope you have enjoyed the card and please pop back tomorrow for a new Two minute Tuesday Video...

...And for a sneak peek at what I'm sharing take a look at my Instagram Page ;-)

Stampin' Hugs,

Football (Soccer) Birthday Card using Stampin' Up's Circle Thinlits Flip Die.

Hello,

Advanced Warning: This is Picture Heavy Post, grab a cuppa ;-)

Yesterday was my friends son's 11th Birthday and he is football crazy. I have made many football birthday cards over the years and so I had to come up with something new and a bit different this year so I turned to the Circle Thinlits Die and some of the Adventure Bound DSP stack which, handily, has a few sheets of this fun grass paper - perfect for this card!

 I started with a Garden Green tri-fold circle thinlits die cut and added panels of the grass paper. 

Please see HERE for the tutorial on how to make this and also cut the paper to fit - plus 4 other designs with this die ;-)

To make these footballs I glued hexagon punched white and black card to crumb cake card, punched the "ball" out using the 2+1/2" circle punch and inked the edges with a sponge and some crumb cake ink

 Some black chevron ribbon flags inside. This ribbon is retiring :-( but on the upside it is now just £4.13 a roll, but only while stocks last!

 These banner punch outs are cut from some (retired) Christmas DSP and I added numbers using the Back to Basics Alphabet stamp set

 A little collage of some more of the card including the back ;-) 

All supplies are listed at the end of this post.

 And it folds to fit a standard sized C6 envelope too (sorry this pics not great though!)

 I glued the ribbon to these kebab sticks using my hot glue gun

and one last pic of the football to finish ;-)

 Well, the birthday boy liked his card and there were smiles all round :-)

Thanks as ever for looking today,

Please pop over to my shop for some last minute bargains in the clearance and remember to use the hostess code for orders under £150 to receive a little gift from me too.
