'Button Buddies' card from Fiona!

Hey everyone, hope you're having a lovely weekend and enjoying the sunshine! Today i have another new baby card to share with you. This card has been created by another fellow Stampin' Up! demo - Fiona, who sent this card all the way from America!!

Fiona layered a piece of 'Pool Party' card onto an 'Island Indigo' cardbase. Then on a piece of 'Whisper White' she stamped the congratulations sentiment from the 'Curly Cute' sentiment stampset (in 'Island Indigo' ink and glued it in place onto the 'Pool Party' card. She then cut a piece of 'Island Indigo' 'DSP' and wrapped some 'White Bakers Twine' around it, tying it in a bow.

On a seperate piece of 'Whisper White' she stamped the rattle image from 'Button Buddies' stampset using 'Pool Party' ink, she bordered this onto a piece of 'Pool Party' card before securing it onto the card using 'Dimensionals' to create a raised 3D effect.

I love this card and the colours that Fiona used! I'd like to once again thank my crafty friends for all the beautiful cards they have made to celebrate Xanders arrival!!

Crafty Boots Challenge: Yellow!

Another fortnight has been and gone - and yes - it is time for another Crafty Boots Challenge. This months theme is 'Yellow' - so we want to see your projects featuring all shades of yellow!!

Here is my DT offering for this challenge using the beautiful 'So Saffron' shade of yellow!:

The cardbase is 'So Saffron' on which i layered a another piece of 'So Saffron' card which i have run thorugh the 'Big Shot' using the 'Square Lattice Embossing Folder' to create some texture, as well as some 'Beyond the Garden DSP' (which is FREE for just one more day if you make an April order! Email amyjtidd@gmail.com to make your order!) Along the middle i have wrapped some 'Calypso Coral' 'Ruffled Ribbon' as well as bow made from the same ribbon. On a small square of 'So Saffron' i have layered a square of 'Whisper White' card which i have stamped the 'happy birthday wishes' sentiment (from the 'Petite Pairs set) in 'Calypso Coral' ink. Finally i have stamped the flower image from the 'Button Buddies' stampset three times onto 'Whisper White' card using 'Calypso Coral' ink and then cute these out and layered them ontop of one another, finishing off the design with a coordinating 'So Saffron' 'Designer Button'!

Hope you like the card - i don't often use yellow - so this was a real challenge for me! If you like any of the materials used within this project you can order Stampin' Up! products through me! The catalogues are on the righthand side for you to view - and today is the last day of the 'Spring Mini Catalogue' and the April DSP Promotion - so get your order emailed over to me ASAP: amyjtidd@gmail.com

Button Buddies Baby Rattle Card!

Today i have a card to share with you using the fab 'Button Buddies' stampset:

This stampset is quite literally AMAZING ... because it completely coordinates with the 'Stampin' Up! Designer Buttons'. I have had a lot od fun recently playing with this set and last week created this card:

This card features 'Nursery Nest DSP' - which you can recieve for FREE throughout April if you make an order of £45! I love this paper collection - and it is SO versatile! I layered this paper onto a 'Pear Pizzazz' cardbase. I ran a piece of knotted 'Seaming Ribbon' around the card.

I ran some 'Pear Pizzazz' and 'Pink Pirouetter' card through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Perfect Pennant Die' to create the doily shapes and layered them on top of one another - using some 'Dimensionals' to create a 3D effect! Next on a piece of 'Whisper White' card i stamped the sentiment 'welcome baby' from the 'Petite Pairs' stampset in 'Pear Pizzazz' and the rattle image (from the 'Button Buddies' set) in 'Marina Mist'. I finally attached a 'Marina Mist' 'Designer Button' with some 'Linen Thread' tied through!

If you want to make an order - and get a pack of DSP for free, don't delay! Catalogues are on the right of this blog for your viewing. Email over your order to amyjtidd@gmail.com

Birthday Wishes From Ruth!

Hi all, just a quick post today - just wanted to share with you the lovely birthday card that Ruth gave me on Monday:

Ruth stamped the flower from the 'Button Buddies' stamped using 'Tempting Turquoise', 'Daffodil Delight' and 'Tangerine Tango' over some 'Whisper White' card, she mounted this onto a piece of 'Daffodil Delight' and then onto a 'Tempting Turquoise' cardbase. She stamped the happy birthday sentiment and punched it out using the 'Word Window' punch, before layering it onto a 'Daffodil Delight' 'Modern Label Punch' attaching it to the card using some 'Dimensionals' to give it a 3D effect. She finally placed some coordinating 'Designer Buttons' to the centre of the flowers!!

I love this beautiful bright card - it certainly made my birthday very special! Thanks Ruth xxx

Kat's Piggy Card!! (Featuring the 'Button Buddies' stampset!)

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a fab weekend! I'm having a completely restful one involving lots of crafting! Today i have a card to share with you that was designed by a new crafty pal of mine Kat, who has recently signed up to Stampin' Up! simply to get her crafty mits of the super-value starter kit! (Did you know you could do that?! You can buy the kit without any obligation at all to make sales and you could customise your kit to suit your styles! If you're interested and would like some more details just email me: amyjtidd@gmail.com )

Kat actually chose the fab 'Button Buddies' stampset as one of her sets in the starter kit and i was very excited that she designed a card using this set and shared this with us during yesterdays crafty session! Here it is:

Isn't it soooooo cute! The cardbase has been created from some 'Very Vanilla' cardstock that has been folded and then run through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Large Scallop Die'. Next we ran a strip of  'Certainly Celery DSP' through the 'Big Shot' with the same die, then snipped it to create some grass and glued it into place!

On a piece a 'Very Vanilla' we then stamped the super cute pig from the 'Button Buddies' stampset using 'Rose Red' ink, cut him out and glued him into place. We then stamped out another piggy out and cut out just the nose (sounds a bit cruel i know!) and then raised it using 'Dimensionals' to create a 3D effect!!

Finally we stamped the 'happy birthday' sentiment (from the 'Create-a-Cupcake' stampset) using 'Rose Red' ink onto some 'Very Vanilla' and punched it out using the 'Word Window Punch' and again used 'Dimensionals' to glue it into place.

I just love this card and enjoyed using some new products that i don't personally own. Although i have to say the 'Large Scallop Die' and the 'Button Buddies' stampset are now firmly on my wishlist - maybe i'll be lucky and get them for my birthday next week!!

Thankyou Kat for sharing this cute piggy with us!!!

Check back to my blog tomorrow as it is time for another Crafty Boots Challenge to be announced!!
