Thanks for looking, have a great evening xx
So the above photo was my Card Workshop I did this month, I always find it really hard to judge how long it will take to make a card and I guess we had a bit too much to make this month, but everyone managed to stamp their images and make at least 2 of their cards and I showed them how to make the flowers on their notebooks...
How gorgeous are these colours. This month I decided I would not make everything matching, but use the same stamp set Greenhouse Garden for all of them but use different colourways so that they could see how different each card looked. For the notebook cover I used Perfect Plum Patterned Paper, Perfect Plum and Pale Plum Cardstock and Mellow Moss for the little leaves and the Taffetta Ribbon is also Mellow Moss....
This card is a flowerpot card and the flowers pull up and are attached to some card that you can write your message on. For this card I used Real Red and Whisper White Cardstock, there is also some Old Olive for the leaves and for the inside bit which you cannot see. The ribbon is Night of Navy and the inks are So Saffron, Real Red and Night of Navy.... the insides of the flowers are Chocolate Chip. I also used Jackpot Patterned Paper.
This card uses Pretty In Pink, Almost Amethyst and Certainly Celery Cardstock. The Patterned Paper is Tea Party and the Grosgrain Ribbon is Certainly Celery too....
This time I used Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow and Whisper White Cardstock. The Patterned Paper is To The Nines, this was probably the easiest card of them all to make. All stash used to make all these cards comes from Stampin' Up! If you would like to order anything, please contact me on LindaLloyd@gmx.net or if you would like a new Stampin' Up! mini catalogue, please contact me at the above email addy and I will get one out to you ASAP.
Had to make it really quickly as I had nearly forgotten his birthday, so this card is very basic to what i would normally do. I stamped the PTI stars onto Bashful Blue Cardstock using Bashful Blue Ink. The stars were stamped using Night of Navy Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock and punched out using the Stampin' Up! Star Punch, I then attached 2 blue buttons to the middle of the stars and tied some Linen Thread through the middle. I cut a piece of Night of Navy and cut a v shape one end and mounted it onto a piece of Kraft Cardstock punched with a Martha Stewart Punch. And voila a really quick card. This also qualifies for the PTI Challenge which is to use stars.
Have used Bashful Blue and Night of Navy Cardstock, plus the Old Olive Patterned Paper edged with the Border Punch at the top and the bottom. The circles are stamped with the Circle Circus Stamp Set in Whisper White ink and the stars are cut out using the Star Punch and Bashful Blue Cardstock. The Sentiment was stamped using the Happy Everything Stamp Set. All these items are available from Stampin' Up!
Now the inside was a bit of a joke, he is a trainee butcher and always telling us about the meat he cuts up and he seems to cut up a lot of lamb, so what better to put inside his card than a little lamb.... lol. Inside was created using Whisper White, Bashful Blue and Night of Navy Cardstock. The sheep was made using Stampin' Up! punches, Scallop Circle, Oval, Five Petal Flower (for ears) and Word Window Punch for legs.
Today was my first Card Workshop.... one wonderful lady turned up and we had an awesome time making some Christmas Cards and a box to match. It was really nice talking to you Denise and hope we meet again sometime soon.
Anyway, I have made some cards, I am desperately trying to get my pile of Christmas Cards finished before the weekend, but failing badly, I have now made around 30, but still have at least another 20 to make and I am intending on doing something with acetate for some of them, but am still throwing some ideas around my head at the minute and not coming up with anything.... but tomorrow is another day. I have decided to list the stash used on my cards in a more orderly fashion.
This card above is my favourite so far, I cut the letters out using my Cricut Expression and the snowflake too. I punched snowflakes out of the backing glitter card and then stuck it onto the Night of Navy card underneath using Dimensionals so that the holes were more obvious, they really are in real life... lol
I have 3 new cards to show you today... I have been really busy making 70 Christmas Cards for my 2 little boys to write for their friends at school, plus I am making 30 boxes for Saturday and haven't even started yet.... lol
Patterned paper is from stash, flowers are made using 2 of the Stampin' Up! Punches, 5 Petal Flower and BoHo Blossomes, Cardstock is Night of Navy and Whisper White from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment is from Verve Stamps.
Stampin' Up! Bravo Burgundy and Whisper White Cardstock. A Tree For All Seasons Stampin' Up! Stamp Set and the sentiment is Computer Generated.
I have used Live Your Dream Stamp Set, the sentiment is computer generated. I used Very Vanilla Ribbon and Cardstock along with Night of Navy Cardstock. The image was stamped with Night of Navy, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie inks. The border was cut using my Fiskars Border Punch.
Have a great evening all xx
The colours haven't come out too well in the photo, they do match much better in real life.
Recipe:- Summer By The Sea and En Francais Stamp Sets. Old Olive, Summer Sun, Rose Red, Bordering Blue, Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy and Sage Shadow Ink Pads. Always Artichoke Grosgrain Ribbon. The image was stamped using Staz On Black Ink and coloured using the Ink Pads and Aquaflow brush. Here is a more detailed photo, not sure where the colours are coming from as they really do match much better IRL.
And if you didn't read my post yesterday, here is a really good offer for you. I need 10 people who will spend £15 a month for 10 months on Stampin Up Goodies, thats anything in the brochure, but I need you to stay for the 10 months. During that 10 months, each month one person will be the hostess, therefore 10 people, 1 hostess a month. On your hostess month, you will receive a hostess stamp set of your choice (dependent on your sales that month if you sell enough you could get 2) plus depending on your sales an additional cash sum to spend on other Stampin Up Goodies, so say the month you are hostess I receive orders of £200 from your group of 10, you will receive 1 Stamp Set (which you cannot buy from the brochure) and £20 worth of goods.... cant be bad. You will also receive a free catalogue from me worth £5.95. All I ask is for 10 months commitment from each person and £3.50 a month postage, if after the 10 months you have paid too much postage I will refund it. I am also looking to do a club for 8 people who are willing to sign up for 8 months and spend £20 per month, and it will be run the same as the above. If you are interested let me know, at the moment it is on a first come first served basis. I already have a few people signed up but we cant get the show on the road until I have a whole groups worth, so just let me know if you are interested and your free catalogue will be whizzing its way to you very shortly.
Have a good evening all. xx
