Guest Stamper Week 4

A bit late adding these, busy with work and making my week 5 samples!

So, for this week I made a Christmas card as I wanted to take on the challenge of showing how versatile this set is.

I’ve teamed it with Snow Front to add extra seasonal features!

Then I used all the little stamps to make 2 cards, one more feminine, one with more masculine colours.  I had fun playing with the stamps and colours for these.

Finally for this week I’ve used emboss resist with our new gorgeous blending brushes.

I’ve used white embossing powder (I need to try with clear too really) and again have tried more masculine/feminine images and colours.

I hope these make you want to try the stamp set or think about some you already have and how you can use them differently.

Free products!

 I’ve made this card using free products from Sale-a-Bration.

The paper is one of the designs in the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper 12 x 12” pack you can get for free at the moment with a £45 spend.

There are 2 each of 6 double-sided designs in the pack.

The sentiment is also for a free stamp set - Heal Your Heart and ideal to send to someone at the moment to cheer their day.

Guest Stamper Week 3

For week 3 I have moved on to an ‘avid stamper’, someone who has lots of products including a die-cut machine and might make some more advanced projects.

I’ve used some of the Pierced Blooms dies on these cards as they co-ordinate with the set but still want to highlight the stamp set.

I’ve made a split card, an A5 card, a DL card (showing the stamps in a different way & highlighting some of the dies) and I’ve used the Stamparatus for a sunburst style wreath.

        

Guest Stamper Week 2

 I’m back with my second week as Guest Stamper for our Bloomin’ Buds team showcasing the In Bloom stamp set.

This week I’ve stepped the cards up a little for someone that crafts a little more and has more products.

I’ve used paper from our current Sale-a-bration offering (the In Bloom paper co-ordinates with this stamp set), ribbon, gems and a bit of cutting out.

I’ve used a different colour combo when not co-ordinating with the paper (this bright card style was CASEd from Carol Read) and tried a more ‘manly’ card to show the set doesn’t just have to make floral cards.

      

Capturing 2020

 The struggle with blogger continues but I seem to have slightly confused it into submission today.

This is the front of an album I made my Mum for Christmas.  I used our Basic Black 6x8” Album (£9.25) which you can buy a Variety Pack of pocket pages for (£5.50).

As it happens both pages I have pictures of have 2 6x4” pockets in but there are 5 different designs which have a mixture of pages including 2x3” pockets too.

The front page uses strips of paper and ribbon from the Boho Indigo Product Medley.  We were able to form a bubble after the first lockdown so we’ve tried to get out for air in places that weren’t too busy and have been really lucky with the weather so had some super days.  In the ongoing trauma this album is a reminder of the lovely things we managed in a generally rubbish year.

We had a super trip to The Newt just before Christmas where we got really close to all the deer so they had to have a feature, I added a stamped deer from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set.

Some of the pages had more stamping on but I’ve used paper from the new Dandy Garden set to show off the butterflies from another of our days out.

New goodies

Well, my optimism has slightly disappeared as after adding a post recently Blogger now won’t upload the pictures correctly which is a tad annoying.

I’ll keep trying to get it to comply but I can tell you in the meantime that our new Spring Catalogue is now live, as is Sale-a-bration where you get a free product with every £45 spend until the end of February.

If you would like a catalogue let me know.

Welcome to 2021

I’ve not had much luck with computers and photos, then the mobile functionality of blogger disappeared and previous quick looks haven’t gone well but I’ve decided to have another go!

So, if this has worked welcome back and to 2021.

I’m a Guest Stamper with our Bloomin’ Buds team this month with a new stamp set (In Bloom) which will be available from 5th Jan - I’ve still got catalogues to send out and distribute so one might be on its way to you soon.

I’ve started with #simplestamping and CASE-ing a card from the catalogue to show what you can do with card, inks and a stamp set.

I’m hoping to showcase what else you could do with the set every Friday this month.
