Spotlight on Nature Bundle

Posted on October 14, 2024 by sharon

At the recent Stamp Camp by Marelle, there were 10 shoeboxes to do if we chose to. I completed all 10 boxes and here is one using the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and coordinating dies.

We used the thoughtful Designs specialty Designer Series Paper. I love this paper and there are so many different colour options if you use this paper. We coloured in the flowers and butterfly using blends. And then added some pearls to the card.

Regal Flora

Posted on October 7, 2024 by sharon

Create handmade cards for saying thanks, sending love, expressing sympathy, or just saying miss you! The Regal Flora Stamp Set has sentiments for all of these occasions along with beautiful floral and greenery images. These stamps have a special texture that makes it look like you watercoloured them by hand, but all you need to do is stamp once. You’ll love the effect!

This is a Distinktive stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images.

I created these cards using the Regal Flora stamp set and use the 4 Square technique. This technique is so much fun to create with .

Here is my quick video to watch how I created the cards. There is also a longer video with more instructions.

Spotlight on Nature

Posted on August 28, 2024 by sharon

The Spotlight on Nature Stamp set is a lovely versatile set that I love. When we went to our Stampin’ Up! demonstrator event in March we had the opportunity to attend an optional class and choose from one of 3 bundles. The Spotlight on Nature Bundle is what I chose. The bundle includes the stamp set and a die set. The die set is made up of circles with varying intricacies around the edging of each die all in various sizes.

During my Facebook Live on Friday I created a set of 5 cards. I had an idea of what I was going to do for two of the cards but then the other 3 I was unsure. For two of the cards, I had pulled out an old old card kit that I had made up and used the card base and layers from that card kit.

Using minimal supplies is always great as we don’t always have EVERYTHING in our crafting stash. These cards are quite super simple, however I did use a blending brush on all the cards in some form. If you don’t already have blending brushes in your stash, you really should add them to your wish list as they are fabulous to play with and be creative with.

Share a Milkshake

Posted on February 24, 2024 by sharon

Yesterday I was playing with the Share a Milkshake Bundle on my Facebook Live. Well let me say I had a bit of a morning with Technology. I forgot turn on my microphone! 🤦‍♀️Well thankfully a dear friend commented that she couldn’t hear me. In my defence I did turn a mic on it just wasn’t the one I should have turned on.

Anyway, the show must go on as they say. So I kept going and created 3 cards. I had 5 to make but only got the three. These cards were inspired by many different people. The first one in the Fresh Fresia (top Right) was inspired by Stamp with Brian. He used Balmy blue but I chose to mix it up and do it in Fresh Fresia instead. The Designer Series Paper I used is one you can earn during Sale-a-bration and you only have about 6 days left to earn it for free. Its called Delightfully Eclectic.

The second one (the bottom card) was inspired by Amy Koenders from a year ago. I again changed up the colours and just cut the rectangles rather than using dies but I like it. And the third card (the top left) was inspired by Stampin’ Up! This card was part of the samples that their design team created. Below is my facebook Live video but you can also check out my short video on my youtube channel.

Friday Facebook Live using the Share a Milkshake bundle from Stampin’ Up!
