Hi there Today’s card is the second card we made at my recent workshop – you can see the Pansy Card we made here. This card uses a number of new products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. The base product is the Beauty of Friendship Bundle from pages 10 and 11. I really love the… Read More »
Hi there Today’s card is a variation on a Tri-Fold Shutter card (which I have yet to share with you). I was away last weekend with some fellow demos and CASED this design from one of them. Her card had been made using a 6″ x 12″ piece of cardstock so I adapted the design… Read More »
Hi there Last Tuesday I shared a project that required masking using a Post-It Note and today I have another project using a different masking technique. For this technique you can create your own mask as I’ve done or use a Decorative Mask as shown on page 128 of the Annual Catalogue. I’ve combined my… Read More »
Hi there Last Tuesday’s card included some masking so this week I though I’d do a card that had more masking and give you a quick step by step tutorial on how I do my masking. I got a bit carried away with my masking so ended up making two cards – one I used… Read More »
Hi there Today’s cards are a bit more involved in their creation so I’ve titled this post ‘Fancy Friday’. All four cards use the Quite Curvy Bundle which is available until 30 June 2021. I was originally going to make just one card but got carried away and made four designs with this one set.… Read More »
Hi there Today’s project has a few techniques in it but the main one I want to highlight is the Stamping Off technique. To get the most out of our inks – of which we have 50 colours – this is a great way to get to get multiple colours from one ink pad. The… Read More »
Hi there Do you ever buy a stamp set thinking “I’ve got heaps of ideas for this set’ and then find it sits for ages without seeing ink? Well this is true for my ‘Nothing’s Better Than’ bundle – so I thought I’d use the stamp set for my Waterfall card and it was perfect.… Read More »
Hi there Lately I’ve seen some really cool backgrounds created using Vellum cardstock, Stampin Blends and Isopropyl Alcohol so I thought I’d give it a go. My first attempt didn’t make it to the card base but as the saying goes ‘ try and try again’. Here’s my second attempt and I must admit I… Read More »
Hi there Here’s a bit of background about what Bokeh means. In photography, bokeh (/ˈboʊkə/ BOH-kə or /ˈboʊkeɪ/ BOH-kay;[1] Japanese: [boke]) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image.[2][3][4] Bokeh has also been defined as “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light”. Now onto the project 🙂 Here’s the finished card. For my background I’ve used Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana and… Read More »
Hi there I’ve recently seen a few cards made using this fold but haven’t seen them been given a ‘name’ so I’m calling it a Book Card. It uses a standard card base – 10.5cm x 29.7cm and with one extra score line you get this fun card. On the 3rd May the current 2020/2021… Read More »
Hi there Our Stampin’ Up! ink refills are great not only to reink your ink pads but to use for a number of techniques. Last Tuesday I shared the Baby Wipe technique and today I have another technique that uses the ink refills. You’ll also need some shaving foam – I use the ‘in house’… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the different ways you can use the Baby Wipe Technique for your projects. Today I have the final card using the last two butterflies from my earlier card. This is another card that uses a standard card base to create a fun fold. I first saw this card… Read More »
Hi there Since starting my Technique Tuesday and Friday Fun Fold posts the weeks seem to go by faster :). Today I’m sharing the Baby Wipe Technique. This is a fun technique you can do with any stamp set or card design. All you need are some reinkers, a couple of baby wipes and your… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’re enjoying the Technique Tuesday blog posts and are giving some of these techniques a go yourself. I must admit I hadn’t done some of these for ages so it’s good to revisit them. Today’s post uses a technique called ‘Josephs Coat’ – it uses lots of colours randomly sponged on… Read More »
Hi there A couple of weekends ago we had our annual Creative Inkers Stamp Camp in Rotorua. It was great to be able to get together with my fellow demos. The last time we were all together was Stamp Camp 2020 so there was much to catch up on. Over the weekend we made 5… Read More »
