Stampin’ Up! Painted Petals–Thank You

I love it more and more every time i play with it… Its the Painted Petals Stamp set, its amazing Ive used the reinker technique with the stamps, my stampin markers to colour in detail on the stamps, plain old stamping but gives amazing detail and shading, plus white ink on craft – its amazing!

The dots background is made using the dots border stamp from the set…

Isnt the lace beautiful – Its new too and in a gorgeous vintage colour of Sahara Sand but teams well with Kraft cardstock too : O)

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Petals Scallop Tag swaps

Yesterday i spent the day with 30 odd other Stampin Up Demonstrators, We had a day of training and crafting in Peterborough, i mostly crafted and chatted with my SU Family,

When us demos get together we always take swap cards or 3d items a great way of sharing ideas.. The theme for our swaps this time was ‘Technique’ i choose the White Craft ink watercolour technique..

heres my swaps, i made 30 of these little tags..

I heat embossed my image with white embossing powder, then coloured the image in with white craft ink and my Aqua painter, i left them to dry and then coloured the image with Strawberry Slush ink, again with my aqua painter… time consuming but i was really chuffed with them,

I added the vellum cardstock overlay,  and again heat embossed my sentiment with gold powder..

Everything ive used is available now in my online shop <<HERE>>

Any orders placed either online, by email or by phone which include a weekly deal will receive from me a FREE Tombo adhesive..

Please dont hesitate to get in contact if you have any questions, you can email me @ laura@mycreativeideas.co.uk or call me on 01842 828643,

Happy Craftin’

In Love with Stamping Spring & Summer Blog hop 2014 with FREE Tutorial

 

Welcome to our In Love with Stampin – New Spring & Summer Catalogue and Sale-a-Bration Blog hop…

Today myself and several other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators have put together some projects and Cards using Stampin' Up! products from the newly released Spring & Summer seasonal catalogue and the current Sale-a-Bration promotion ... so please sit back and relax and enjoy hoping from blog to blog – why not grab a Coffee or Tea, pen & paper just incase you’d like to make a note of any items you love and want to add to your crafty stash or wish list along the way…

The project im sharing with you is a Perpetual Desk calendar – using the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Papers which are FREE with a £45 order…

Days of the week:

Months: made using the NEW Scallop tag punch

I made little dividers to hold the tags with a divider between the months and the days too..

FREE TUTORIAL:

Cubes: 2 x 16cm x 21cm score and cut as below:

Score at 5, 10, 15 and 20cm along long side then

5, 10, and 15cm on short side 

Before sticking together to create cube – decorate cube flat and adhere numbers as follows:

Numbers for Perpetual Calendar – the idea is you use the 6 as a 9

Cube 1 : 0, 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6

Cube 2: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8

to make the Tags – cut card stock at 5cm x 10cm then punch with scallop Tag punch

decorate as you wish – i printed my months and days of the week off with a word document.. then cut them to my preferred size..

Calendar holder:

Card Stock: 26.5cm x 18.5cm

score on long side at 8cm and 18.5cm

score on short side at 10.5cm

Mark 5cm on each side as below – cut away shaded area.. see below:

before assembling decorate with dsp, i decorated the back inside of my holder too just beacuse it shows above the tags…

The dividers

1 divider – cut card stock at 4cm x 16.5cm score at 3cm and 13.5cm

divider 2 – cut card stock at 4cm x 9xm score at 3 and 6cm

see below:

Then adhere holder to base…

Chipboard Base – 10 x 12.5cm cover in dsp then adhere to base with red double sided tape

and voila … any problems please dont hesitate to contact me on 01842 828643 or 07545 220477
