Dinosaurs Day 4 and 5

-

Forgiveness please - I got carried away the last few days with some stamping of Easter cards and gifts for friends and neighbours. It seems so appropriate to send good wishes through the post this year with us all confined inside - so much better than Facebook which seems to be settling down a bit. I am getting a few calls to play games online but Im not really an online person - although I do post a lot of cards on my Instagram. I have been doing a 30 day challenge with Martins Mayhem and catch up every few days after a binge. No crafting this weekend though as Simon and I will be out in the garden doing lots of clearing up. We already diverted our stream now it is no longer a raging torrent to stop it eroding the bank and making it go against its original old wall found buried under lots and lots of rubbish.
So this card was a lot of fun to make - similar in format to the others and another you can make if you buy the bundle and get the card kit alongside it with me for Free - see my kit page for details. The new Stampin Up shop is looking very posh if you follow that link. Check out the clearance rack regularly I am sure that more will be on there as a new catalogue looms in June.
Use the white card base and patterned paper to make the base of the card and die cut circles on the smaller piece of white card from the Dino dies set. Stamp the dino and his scales and cut with the dies and I also stamped on some 'v' shapes on his body to match his scales. Colour the eyes with black felt tipped pen. Stamp and mount the sentiment.
Here is the Day 5 Dino complete with a jurassic tree also in the stamp set and dies! You definitely get a lot in this set. This background paper could be used in all sorts of way not just for Dino's. I used stitched rectangles die to cut the white backgrounds for each scene but it looks just as lovely with plain card. The directions are very similar to the above .
Have a lovely day and I hope some sunshine shines on you wherever you are today.
Stay safe and well

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

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 with
