Sale a Bration Free Stamp set

Flowering Fields

Hello to all you lovely crafter out there

Howz you week been, well I've had yet another busy week ,trying to pack boxes for our move in April.......

So dont you just love free items....just love this time of year with Stampin Up...Sale a Bration..when you spend £45 or more and get to choose a free item...just great for us crafty people:-)....

Now to my lovely card.....well I was meant to be in a challenge, but got carried away with making this cute card and forgot all about the challenge (trust me)

This card came about a very dear friend of over 10 years moved away and I wanted to send her a little card to just say Hello I'm thinking of you.....and this card was born

so the ingredients I used

Card stock

Blackberry Bliss

Sahara Sand

Very Vanilla

Ink

Blackberry bliss

Strawberry Slush (retired)

Embossing folder:Spring flowers(retired)

Stamp Sets

Perfect Pennants

Flowering Fields

Dies

2in Circle

Banner Dies very small one

Ribbon : blackberry bliss

Now to make a start with this cute card, cut card stock 11in x41/4 score it in half at 51/2 to make card base, Sahara sand card stock 5 inx 33/4 in, Very Vanilla 31/2 in x 43/4 in.......now take your very vanilla card stock and position your 2in  circle die to the left hand side and run through your big shot, and your very vanilla card should look like you have a window, put the circle to one side...your now going to put your very vanilla card  in your embossing folder( spring flowers) or one of your choice, then put this to one side, now to take you 2in circle and were going to start to stamp using your flowering fields stamp set, you choose which one you want to use.....but as you can see by the above picture.....which ones I like....plus they worked well. Once you have finished the stamping your ready to put the card together.....taking your Sahara Sand and your very vanilla card stock you going to glue them together with you embossing side up and put glue on your debossing side!!!!!! cut a piece of ribbon to the size to go around both cards and put some strong tape on the back to fix it on. Now to take you circle your going to put foam pads on back and then stick it in the middle of your embossing circle cut out. Now to make the Hello sentiment , take you perfect pennants stamp set its the small HELLO stamp and ink it up in blackberry bliss stamp onto very vanilla card stock, once its done cut out with the matching die.....I have added and cut out another banner from blackberry bliss card stock just to add dimension to the tag....add foam pads and stick on card then stick the whole card together and now you have this cute card. You can always go along to my you tube channel and craft along with me......what colours would you choose......and have a little look in your crafty stash to see what  you can make, using different stamps sets and embossing folders ...watch this space as I just might have to put on here some more....

Brick Wall Embossing folder plus Gorgeous Grunge stamp Set by Stampin Up

Male Birthday Card

Hi there to all you lovely crafters out there.....how are you all..happy crafting away and enjoying making crafty items.......

Well this week I've had to make two male birthday cards, one was for my father in- law who is a painter and decorate, so I came up with  this great little card, using brick wall embossing folder and gorgeous grunge, using the small splat stamp....ink I used was Real Red, Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight, with whisper white card stock.....but the main card I brought a set from a craft shop, you can always get a great deal in one of the superstores.....sometimes it saves time.

If you go onto my u tube I used Real red paper to matt my brick wall onto just to make it pop....but as you can see, one was for 60th birthday which was my brother, and one was for my father in-law.... I love them both, but you could always make one for a teenager  , I enjoyed making these great cards, so why dont you have ago using any embossing folders you have and see what you come up with.

sorry its short blog post this week....

Thank-you for stopping by and happy crafting, have a lovely week

god bless
