Perennial Birthday stamp set - Stampin Up

The other day i showed you how to create some of the cards in the 'Perennial Birthday Project Kit', if you purchased the stamp set that coordinates i wanted to show you that you can create your own cards and that it isn't just something to be used with the kit. 

I've chosen 3 ink colours, 'Wysteria Wonder', 'So Saffron' and 'Pear Pizzaz'. The splodge background is created using the sale-a-bration stamp set 'Eclectic Expressions'. Taking each of the ink colours in turn i inked up the stamp then stamped off onto some scrap paper first before applying to my 'Whisper White card to give a softer look. 

Next taking flowers and leaves from the 'Perennial Birthday' stamp set i placed them in the bottom left corner using a punched out piece of card with the 'Tailored Tag' as a guide. 
Stamping the sentiment and a couple of flowers around the edge of the punched out shape ready to layer over. 
 A length of ribbon is wrapped around the 'Whisper White' base before being attached to some 'Wysteria Wonder' cardstock to secure everything in place. A couple of 'Basic Pearl Jewels' are added to the tag before mounting it all onto the card base. 

You could easily change the sentiment to make this into a thank you or get well card too.

Card front builder thinlits - Stampin Up

Image
When i first saw the 'Card Front Builder' thinlits die i must admit it didn't grab me straight away. I think i thought it looked like too much faff so i decided not to order it. Then i made that deadly mistake that most of us crafters do...i went on Pinterest!! Needless to say after spending half an hour (okay maybe 2 hours) browsing the cards made by some of my fellow demonstrators i was convinced i needed it too.  The design i have used was inspired by another Pinterest user 'Stamping Up North', I really liked the way they used the cut out trees to layer back onto the card so decided to make my own version. The background paper is from the 'Be Merry' designer series paper. I thought this particular sheet worked well with the 'Garden Green' and sprinkle of white looking like snow.  I ran a square of 'Whisper White' and the tree die though the big shot then used the cut out trees to mount over the top again but placed at differ

Blog Hop with the Simply Stylish Stampers!

Thank you for hopping over to my blog.  This is my first time joining in with a 'Blog Hop' and i'm delighted to be doing it with the other ladies from the 'Simply Stylish Stampers'. After being given a card making kit as a gift a few years back i found i really enjoyed creating projects. Later on i discovered Stampin Up and my love for papercraft has grown into what you might say is an obsession! My card today uses the fabulous NEW stamp set 'Wise Men From Afar' which is coming soon in the Autumn / Winter brochure. 'Star Of Light' and the coordinating thinlits dies also feature.  Taking a sheet of 'Night of Navy' cardstock i trimmed it down to 11 1/2 x 5 3/4. Then scored in half along the long side. 'Whisper White' cardstock measuring 5 x 5 inches. To create the night sky effect i used a combination of blue inks - 'Night of Navy', 'Tempting Turquoise' and 'Pacific Point'. You of cour
