Introducing 'Outline Occasions'...

So, over the next few days i'm going to share with you the fourth 'Sale-a-bration' stampset: 'Outlined Occasions':

This is such a fun and versatile set and over the next few days i'm going to show you four cards made with it... here's a sneak peek:

So here is card number one:

This little make is quick and simple. On a rectangle of 'Whisper White' card i stamped the 'thanks' stamp using 'Real Red' and 'Marina Mist' 'Stampin' Write Markers' and then coloured in using 'Real Red' and 'Daffodil Delight' 'Stampin' Write Markers'. Underneath that i stamped the 'so very much' sentiment again using the 'Stampin' Write Markers' to colour each work differently.

 I punched a strip of 'Daffodil Delight' card using the 'Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch'. I glued that onto the edge of a 'Marina Mist' cardbase before gluing down the 'Whisper White' card.

Check back tomorrow to see another card project made using this fab set - andif you would like to get this stampset for FREE just email me a qualifying Stampin' Up! order today: amyjtidd@gmail.com

Today i have yet another Sale-a-bration creation to share with you using the wonderful 'Fresh Vintage' stampset that i have been showcasing this week:

This card pretty much uses ALL the stamps in the set!! On the 'Tangerine Tango' base i stamped the border stamp in the same colour (although it doesn't really show up on the photo unfortunately.)

On a rectangle of 'Whisper White' i stamped the flower image several times, using 'Red Riding Hood' and 'Pear Pizzazz' 'Stampin' Write Markers'. I then punched out two strips of 'Pear Pizzazz' using the 'Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border' and layered the 'Whisper White' over them. Next i ran a piece 'Red Riding Hood' card through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Beautiful Butterlies Die', stamped it randomly with the flower stamp using 'Versamark' and then 'Clear Embossed'. Finally i stamped the central image onto 'Whisper White' card using 'Tangerine Tango' ink and then also in 'Pear Pizzazz' punching out the central circle using the '1/2" Circle Punch'. These were raised on the centre of the card using a 'Dimensional' to give a 3D effect.

It all sounds more complicated than it is!! But i just love this stampset and it is most definately on my wishlist!!

Sale-A-Bration: Fresh Vintage Butterfly Card!

Hey all! Today i have ANOTHER fab card created using one of the lovely stampsets that you can earn for FREE with every £45 purchase of Stampin' Up! products!! (This deal is available from the 24th January til the 31st March'.

This week i'm showcasing the beautiful 'Fresh Vintage' stampset and the card i have to share with you today also features the 'Everyday Enchantment DSP' that is also available in the Sale-A-Bration deal!!

The 'Everyday Enchantment DSP' is a beautiful collection of papers - take a look:

And here is the card that i made using them:

This card started life as a 'Crumb Cake' cardbase! On a piece of 'Baja Breeze' i stamped the foilage stamp from the 'Fresh Vintage' stampset randomly all over it! Before gluing it onto the cardbase i punched a strip of 'Pear Pizzazz' card using the 'Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch' and then glued it underneath!

The three butterflies have been punched out of the Sale-A-Bration 'Everyday Enchantment DSP' using the 'Butterfly Punch'. Before gluing them down i wrapped some 'Linen Thread' around the butterflies and placed a 'Basic Pearl' on the centre of each one! And you may notice that on the green butterfly i stamped on the flower stamp (in 'Soft Suede' ink).

Finally i stamped the 'get well wishes' sentiment from the 'Teeny Tiny Wishes' set onto some 'Crumb Cake' card using 'Soft Suede' ink. I punched this out using the 'Word Window Punch' and placed two teeny tiny 'Basic Pearls' either side of the sentiment!!

I just love this stampset and the papers! If you like them as much as i do then why not make a qualifying Stampin' Up! order and get them for FREE!! Email over your order today: amyjtidd@gmail.com
