Sharing Creativity

We also did a team card swap for Telford and this was mine:

I've used the stamp sets Gorgeous Grunge, Petite Petals and Better than E-mail with the colours of Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum.

I've used an Oval Layering Framelit to cut out the wording, a Decorative Label punch and some matching ribbon to finish.

Club project

Sorry again for the lack of posts - JillsQuills has been rather busy, I hope to resume a more regular service next week!

Pop on over to JillsQuills to read about the upcoming Annual Display of Quilling.

This project was one Jenny kindly shared with us at downline last month and she gave me permission to use it for Crafty Bunch where I was asked to demo and do a make and take last week.

It's a super little wallet, something similar to one Jenny received on the recent incentive trip.

I made one in all the current in colours.

I chose the combo of Delightful Dijon and Tip Top Taupe though for everyone to make so there was no arguing!

This is inside all the wallets.  There is an envelope and small 3x3" card.
I have used matching coloured envelope paper on one set but the others have plain envelope paper, some of which I have stamped to match the card.

Gorgeous Grunge is the stamp set used, Teeny Tiny Sentiments and Papillon Potpourri.

Two circles punches are used for the matching coloured ring on a small square which has been embossed with the Lovely Lace embossing folder.  A little butterfly has also been stamped, punched and added with a matching itty bitty flower.

A washi label punch and magnets are used to close the wallet with some of the in colour lace on the spine.

The ladies all seemed to enjoy the project.

Mossy Meadow Flowers

Not the greatest picture (apols for that!) but this is one of the cards that I took as an option to Crafty Bunch last week - thanks to Jenny for this idea which I slightly simplified for card & stamp usage!!

The card just uses Mossy Meadow ink, card and ribbon for simplicity - so effective though.

Stamp sets used are:
Gorgeous Grunge
Petite Petals (with matching punch)
Label Love (with matching punch)

The artisan label punch used for the sentiment is on offer this week for only £10.69 instead of £14.25 - bargain!

Some gems to finish and a very quick card - try it in all the new in colours!!

More Grunge

The same colour combo today that I used for my recent make and take.

This card was made for a Bloomin' Buds sketch challenge.

Materials used:
Regals Designer Series Paper Stack
Island Indigo card & ink
Smoky Slate card & ink
Silver Glimmer Paper
Gorgeous Grunge stamp set
Itty Bitty Banners stamp set
Bitty Banners Framelits
Banner Framelits
1" circle punch
1 1/4" circle punch

It's amazing how many things can be used on a simple card isn't it?!!

Party cards

Last night Elsie kindly hosted a Stampin' Up party which 12 lovely ladies attended.

I did a couple of demos and this was my make and take card.

I've used the Gorgeous Grunge set - hence me having little play recently.  This card uses all 5 stamps in the set.

Colours used were Smoky Slate and Island Indigo to give the card a male 'look'.
Silver would also be a great substitute for the Smoky Slate.

This card was CASEd from a workshop I did a while ago.

Banner Framelits used as decoration, the largest has been embossed with the Chevron embossing folder, the middle one uses paper from the 12x12 Designer Series Paper Stack.

Sentiment from the hostess set Express Yourself.

I also made one in Strawberry Slush and Crisp Cantaloupe to show how the different colours make a very different card, even with the same stamps.

I have used the Bitty Banner Happy Birthday stamp and matching framelit for the sentiment on this one to also show something different.

My original card did use the silver glimmer paper but I realised a bit late SU currently don't have a star punch so I added nothing to the male version but added 3 little sparkly punched circles to the girl version!

More grunge

Another great idea today that I had to try, this time using the set Gorgeous Grunge.

This card just uses one of the stamps but with several different ink colours, I've used 6 different 'brights'.

The sentiment is from 'That's the Ticket' and stamped in Staz on in black on whisper white card.

Punched out with matching punch (of course) and layered on a couple of black punched tickets for effect.

Still a great set and more cards to share later in the week.

Don't forget to pop past tomorrow for this weeks deals!

A spot of grunge

About time I started to share some more cards made with these lovely Stampin' Up products.

Today's uses a favourite set of mine - 'Gorgeous Grunge'.  It's so versatile.
At Bloomin' Buds today we all took a 'shoebox', effectively a card we had made with the kit for everyone else to make the same so we came away with several new cards.

This card (even the colour scheme) came from spaggysstampingworld, I'll try it in other colours another day, it's surprising how a colour change makes a card look completely different.

Supplies used:
Stamps: Gorgeous Grunge & Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Crumb Cake & Very Vanilla
Inks: Soft Suede, Early Espresso & Bermuda Bay
Punches: Elegant Butterfly, 1 3/4" Circle, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle
