Stampin' Up! Party Puffins Birthday card

Welcome to this months Ink. Stamp. Share monthly Blog Hop we our a 

group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world

sharing card making and papercraft ideas and inspiration using 

Stampin' Up! Products. Your currently with me Laura Mackie a 

Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from the UK.

This hop we get to share what we have been working on

and today I'm sharing the card I made for my niece's 

9th birthday this week.

Now my Niece isnt so much a pink and purple girl so she told me recently!

telling me her favourite colour is now Blue! you can imagine my 

arghh! oh okay then response! thinking where do I go with this!

I've always made her girlie cards featuring unicorns and bright 

pretty colours!

This year I reached for Pacific Point and Balmy Blue!

and this was my starting point, I had no idea what stamps I was using

or where this card was going!

Here is the finished card, in the end I decided on using 

the Stampin' Up! Party Puffins Stamp set

I cut the '9' on my Scan N' Cut machine 

enabling me to cut a pretty big number!

the 9 is cut using some retired 

Balmy Blue Glimmer Cardstock.

I coloured the puffins with some Stampin' Blends

in Pale Papaya, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight 

and Balmy Blue.

Inside the card on the left has a little pocket 

to pop some money in, as my Niece gets older

theres less ideas of gifts with the option of money 

seems more appropriate and she can go shopping!

 however I did gift her one of the 

new Stampin' Up! Card Making Kits!

I couldn't resist personallising the card and added

her name die cut using the Playful Alphabet dies, 

which I pre coloured a piece of Basic White cardstock

with Pacific Point ink and a blending Brush.

I added lots of Subtle Shimmer sequins and 

a bow tied with White bakers twine

to finish my card.

30 presents for turning 30 by Laura Mackie Papercrafter

During Christmas my sister had her 30th birthday and today I thought I would share with you her gift I made for her, plus my crazy idea back in January 2019 to treat her to 30 gifts! 

You know when you have a bright idea well this was one of those until it came to wrapping them up!

I included sweets, chocolate, nail varnish, smellies, socks, notebooks, wine, a scratch card, anything I could find with an elephant as she loves elephants! and so much more, I collected them through the year keeping everything listed in a notebook numbered 1 - 30, I also kept a note of my costs too, 

Below is one of those 30 gifts well it was the last one she opened!

The 30 is a wooden MDF blank which I then covered in a polka dot paper, 

and decorated, my sisters not overly a flowery girl but I totally am, so I was careful to not overdo the flowers, she loved it and its sitting pride of place in her home

I made cute paper flowers using the Stampin up Four petal flower punch, foliage from the frosted bouquet dies, the smaller flowers are created using the 2 1/4" and 2" circle punches

I've used a grey colour combo including Smoky Slate and Basic grey with Whisper White and some Shimmery white cardstock too

p.sm those Dark flowers look black but are Basic Grey.

my sister loved all of her gifts, and I loved doing it for her! apart from the wrapping them up! and yes I made her open them in order hahaha!
