Picture Perfect Pop and Twist

I had been wanting to try a Pop and Twist card for a while but didn't quite know where to start so I thought I would take part in this months InspireINK   challenge for inspiration.

This month is a Tic Tac Toe challenge.

I had to pick three colours in a row to use in my project. I must admit I wasn't drawn to any at first sight, but eventually decided on the bottom row, Mango Melody, Coastal Cabana and Mossy Meadow.

I followed a tutorial by Jan B on You Tube...look for Pop and Twist Tutorial.

I was really pleased with how it turned out and think these colours look great together..wouldn't want any more Mossy Meadow though !

I used the Picture Perfect Stamp Set. This set won't be in the new catalogue sadly, but it will be staying on my shelf !

This is what the inside looks like. It all folds away inside the card...so clever.

Apart from the stamp set, I only used inks and card in the three colours and  stamped my own pattern on Whisper White cardstock. 

If you haven't tried this sort of card give it a go, it's great fun and makes a card a bit more special.

I think I am a bit addicted now with lots of ideas for some others.

Just a little reminder...once you have finished your project put it somewhere safe, don't leave it to fall onto an open inkpad.....just saying...

On Stage 2019 Team Gifts

Last Saturday I was in Telford at the Stampin' Up! new Annual Catalogue Launch. It is always great fun and so exciting to see all the new products.

I made some special gifts for my lovely team members.

I made a notecard holder like the one I shared with you in January , the instructions are here, but instead of notelets I put some other bits inside.

There is a notebook for ideas...

a bookmark for the new catalogue...

and a wish list for all the new products we want.

I must apologise to Stampin' Up! for chopping up some of their recruitment folders for this lovely paper but hey, I'm a crafter !!

There are lots of great products coming soon, can't wait to share them with you.

Happy Stamping

Beauty Abounds Birthday Card

I am away this weekend at the Stampin' Up! convention in Telford.

It is great fun meeting up with all my friends and getting to see the new Annual catalogue that comes out on 1st June.

Sadly, it means I will miss my Mum's birthday today...but I have already been to see her with a present and a card.

I made it with the lovely yellow Gingham Gala  Designer Paper and stamped the top layer with the Beauty Abounds Stamp Set.

I teamed it up with some Lemon/Lime Twist ribbon and a sentiment from the Forever Lovely Stamp Set.

I made a matching insert with Lemon/Lime Twist. This is one of the In Colours  that will retire at the end of May, but new ones are on the way !

Have a fabulous day Mum....see you soon.

Happy Stamping

Floral Romance Mothers Day Card

I must confess although I love this pack of Designer Paper I hadn't got round to using it !

The pack contains 3 designs of vellum paper and I used one of these for my card.

I layered the vellum paper on some Whisper White cardstock and then added some more layers in Fresh Fig and Petal Pink.

I used some Tombow liquid glue to attach the vellum. As the vellum is quite patterned I dotted the glue on the darker parts so that it didn't show through.

Before attaching to the card base I wrapped some of the matching ribbon around. It's a variegated ribbon in Whisper White and Petal Pink and at 1.6cm wide makes a lovely bow.

I chose the sentiment from a Sale A Bration set as it was so fitting for my Mum. Not only is she a fabulous role model but she is always crafting and actually introduced me to cardmaking.

I layered the sentiment on the Layering Oval Framelits and cut out the letters from the Large Letters Framelits.

I spent a lovely couple of hours with my Mum last Sunday and she was so pleased with her card.

Happy Stampin
