Cute Easter or Baby

-
 Oh ! Did I have fun with these little animals from the 'Welcome Easter' stamp set. Its a very simple stamp set - there are no dies and no punches to match but the images a pretty easy to cut out if you want them to be mounted onto a card like these ones are.
 Do you love colouring? I actually don't but I did manage to put a bit of colour onto these without going outside of the edges too much. I used Stamping Blends but you could use pencils, paints, chalks or just normal pens! All of the card use a frame cut using two dies from the 'Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies' If you have a die cutter these are a great BASIC for your die collection - I who them out quite often as the set includes squares, circles and ovals - so versatile. Great for framing up any images!


 I have used a white card blank for all of the cards and also a white mat layer onto which I stamped a greeting from the stamp set.
 The other thing I really like about this stamp set was that as well as main images and greetings it also had some little tiny stamps to accent or make backgrounds. I used them on tiny hand cut labels that I tied around the frames in different ways using some white bakers twine that I coloured using the Stamping Blends (pens). I also used the blends to just tinge the edges of the labels by running them around the edges of the card.
 This stamp set has sentiments for Easter but also for Baby cards and 'Friend' so lots of future use can be gained!
 My favourite stamp in this set has to be that time little bee!!

Although I don't send Easter cards as a rule - I do make labels for my Easter Eggs/Gifts and so these images will look just as delightful on a label to present your gifts!



The above photo shows how the images could be used to leapfrog - fabulous for 2020 as it is a leap year!!

Post it note Holder using Golden Honey Papers - updated imperial measurements for box included.

The Golden Honey Papers in their pristine black white and gold said 'office stationery ' to me and so I used them together with the Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee dies to make some coasters, a gift box holding 6 notecards and envelopes, a post it note holder and a cute giant paperclip topper. I put the photo onto a Facebook page that is for Stampin' Up demonstrators today and was totally overwhelmed by the response and requests for instructions on how to make the post it note holder - so I have quickly put this post together and it is mostly a photo show of the instructions because that was the fastest way I could do it! To make this desktop holder you will need some basic black cardstock. The holder has been made to fit post it notes that measure 3 x 3 inches. I originally made it around the post it notes in and cut in centimetres - So I have taken the original box apart and measured it all and have put some photographs of the measurements and how to put it to...

Joppy goes Blog Hoppy

Hello, I love that I can make a rhythm out of joppy and hoppy - its always a struggle thinking of a blog title! Welcome to anyone who has not visited my blog before, I have a fairly new blog, have not participated in the blog hop before and so its especially great to see you! I had a lovely open house last Saturday and invited some of my crafting friends to come and look at what the new Spring/Summer catalogue has to offer and I made some cards to display and the cards I have put up for the blog hop today I made with a stamp set featured on page 44. called Best Catch and co-ordinating Catch of the day thinlits dies. I haven't seen very much on the Internet or on Pinterest anywhere made with this set so I am especially pleased to show you this great set. There is one very special man in my life to whom I recently became engaged and he loves fishing so I thought this set would come in handy. Also he reliably informs me that the fish looked rather like salmon and tha...

Playing with Different Coloured Circles

  I thought I would share with you another set of cards and technique that Learned recently on the Creative Card Retreat I attended. I am catching up with some of the presentations still and this tutorial came from one of the Creative team Jackie Bolhuis. These are the cards I made and the envelopes to match and you may just be able to see the inside decoration for the end card in the photograph! The cards look really striking in the new bright in-colours and you simply cut four circles in different graduating sizes using a circle punch - I used my layering circles dies. The you cut them in half on your trimmer. Then arrange. So this is how I layered up my half circles and then the photograph belo shows how I arranged them onto the card. Then simply add a sentiment to the card. The bright colours look great with black but what about trying pastels or a gradient of the same colour, or even glitter card - what about stitched circle dies? Lots and lots of variations and combinations w...
