Stampin' Up! Hydrangea Haven Mothers Day Card

Welcome to this months Ink.Stamp.Share monthly Blog Hop

We our a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from

all over the world, and your currently with me Laura Mackie

a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from the United Kingdom.

This months hop we get to share with you what

we have been making and I've been busy making

Mothers Day cards as its Mothers Day 

here in the UK tomorrow, 

This is the card I've made for

my mother in law using the 

Hydrangea Haven Stamp set from Stampin' Up! 

with the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series paper.

I was inspired one of the cards in the catalogue

on page 18, The card in the catalogue 

I just loved the watercoloured stamped 

effect background using the stamp in the 

Stamp set, I've used the same colour

inks  - Rococo Rose, Old Olive and 

Gorgeous Grape, but just really elaborated on it and 

thought a double opening 

/ Tri fold card base would be perfect for a 

mothers day card - a little bit more special than a 

standard single fold card!?!

I lined the Thick Basic White card base

with the Striped paper from the Hydrangea Hill pack,

The flowers featuring through out 

the card are also fussy cut from 

one of the papers in the pack,

My card base measures a full a4 sheet so 

29.7cm x 21cm  and then

scored at 10cm and at 19.9cm, 

I then cut off the the corners at an angle

so to reveal the DSP inside my card.

I added the 'MUM' 

using the Playful Alphabet dies, which is 

mounted on a stitched label from the Tasteful Label Dies.

The Hydrangea Haven Stamp set 

 has some lovely sentiments which

I've also used on the front and on the inside

of the card see below

The bow tied to the right wraps right the 

way round the card and

has to be un-tied to open up the card

I've also embellished my card with lots of the 

pastel Pearls which co-ordinate with the 

suite - in shades of pink - Rococo Rose 

and mauves - Gorgeous Grape.

Stampin' Up! Gilded Autumn Suite

Welcome to this months 'Special' Ink. Stamp. Share Blog hop

This special hop was introduced back in April / May time when the UK

went into its first Lockdown, it gave us the opportunity to share 

what we had been working, the UK is back in another month 

long Lockdown until early December. I'm so thankful we carried 

this hop on! and we can share what we love with everyone.

Heres what I've been working on:

Using the beautiful Gilded Autumn Suite from Stampin' Up!

I've been batch making some birthdays cards for up and coming 

birthdays, I try and work a month ahead and have them ready, but

best laid plans don't always work out, these cards I've made 

for the last of my November Birthdays and some of my December 

Birthdays, I also made extras and these are some spares to add to my stash, 

I sometimes find I can scrap last minute for a card, 

With the current lockdown restrictions here in the UK, I find I've been 

being asked more by family and friends 

for cards for those who dont shop online,

Did you spot the little Acron Trinket?? 

These cards will cost a little more to post due to the adding 

of the gorgeous little Acorn Trinkets, but I love them, they really are 

lovely and add an extra special touch, this is something to 

bare in mind when your adding embellishments to your cards, 

(I dont mind paying that little bit more)

The card involved very little stamping really, as the background layers

all use the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP), in fact

the only stamping I did was Stamping my sentiment which

I've stamped on to DSP also, my 

sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso ink, 

then punched out with the Story Label Punch, 

You dont have to use DSP though 

you could stamp all the different layers, 

Card Measurements

card base 10.5cm x full a4 sheet, scored in half at 14.85

lay in your trimmer landscape and cut off 7.5cm

so you'll have a piece measuring 10.5cm x 7.5cm, this becomes the front

for your card, I saw the idea for this card layout / style recently at 

Stampin' Up! OnStage @ Home event and couldn't wait to give it a try.

Everything I've used today to create my cards

is available to order in my online shop, details below.

Stampin' Up! Dressed to Impress Birthday card

I had to make this week a 40th Birthday card for a family friend

and this is what I made for her using the Stampin' Up! 

Dressed to Impress Stamp set with Magenta Madness Ink 

and cardstock! 

I stamped the little flowers in Basic Grey ink, then 

used the little splat / splodge stamp with Magenta Madness

ink to add colour to each of the flowers, 

I used first and second generation ink. 

I used my dark Old Olive Stampin Blend to add colour to the 

little leaves, 

Spot those Old retired Number Dies???
I can NOT Part with them! and they teamed up 

perfectly with some pink Foil sheet I had in my stash

The edges are sponged with basic grey ink!

I've added a few basic Rhinestones amongst the 

dots to add a little sparkle!
