Wish For it All

-

I made a couple of  cards to show off another set of dies I have had for a long time for scrapbooking and 3D projects and as they are now retiring I acquired the matching stampset by winning a Team competition! I used the designer series papers called 'See A Silhouette' which I am rather fond of and just bought my 4th pack (as they are now on a reduced price as retiring 2nd June.
I gold embossed the edges of the paper and some splashes with gold embossing paper and cut the candle images out of gold foil paper. I think it would work for Christmas as well as birthday.

The above photo shows another card and this one I have gold heat embossed the cake image onto white card before adhering it to the card base.
Below is a photo of all of the pieces on my desk of cut outs from various dies and the papers which make super backgrounds if you dont want to make your own background. The colours are so vibrant and warm.

This photo shows the 'Wish for it all' stamp set and the 'Filigree Fantasie ' Dies - Im currently making a cake banner for my daughters Vegan birthday cake (hoping we will get some flour at the shops !) for her 21st Birthday - What a way to celebrate your 21st birthday in lock down (not what she had planned) However we have a fun day planned with a grazing platter - I am sure this will feature on Facebook at some time! 
You can see from the dies there are some really useful images - especially for birthdays with a banner, cup, candle crown and flower as well as a banner piece that I used in the first card with the sentiment - it has holes to thread ribbon through also and would make a great label on a jar. If you put the cup and half the flower piece together you get a cupcake and if you put the other half of the flower piece with the banner you get an ice cream cone. You can also cut the flame off the candle and used the rectangle as a background piece or a present. The flower also has an outside piece to cut out the stamped flower image. Altogether a VERY useful set. You hoover will hate you though when all those tiny pieces fall through. I use the gadget that you roll over with a brush on a foam mat to remove them all much quicker than using the pokey tool!!

The photo below shows the fronts of those papers and you may prefer the bold printed patterns - but I have mostly used the back of the papers as above - these are currently reduced on my shop - so check them out while stocks last along with the Follow Your Art DSP, Perennial Essence DSP (also beautiful backgrounds on the reverse side) and Pressed Petals DSP also reduced. The remaining DSP are not reduced but all will be replaced and not be available after the 2nd June.

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 with
