We were celebrating Mothering Sunday last weekend in the UK and this is the card I created for my MUM It is a very stunning flip/flap shutter card which I CASED from Positively Papercraft blog HERE   I had a play around and changed the decoration and colour scheme and think it made a perfect card for my Mum. I will be sharing another card over the next couple of weeks which I created in a different colour combination once we have made it in the class I run regular weekly and Sunday...

We all had a lot of fun creating these rather spectacular Pull Up Accordian Cards in the class recently.  There are lots of ideas on Pinterest on how to construct them and they are very easy to create. Everyone chose their own patterned paper and co-ordinating coloured card from a variety of different retired Stampin' Up! papers As it is a very unusual and exquisite card some of the ladies chose to create it for their Mum on Mother's Day There was a lot of punching squares,(1 1/4" and 1...

        I have another Let it ride card hat I have forgotten to share with you. You can view my previous one HERE. The pinewood planks embossing folder was inked with Soft suede before running it through the big shot and it creates a lovely background. The horse image was stamped in Black Stazon and coloured in using the soft suede ink pad and aquapainter. The trees were stamped in garden Green ink and again with the aquapainter, a combination of Lemon Lime...

Recently I found myself having to make two sympathy cards, I was inspired by a card I found on the internet HERE  which used the beautiful new Wonderful Romance stamp set bundle. This Floral romance suite is just stunning and I'd seen some fantastic cards made using it. The sentiment really could be used for anything so it seemed an ideal stamp set to use. It is not clear from the photo but the white layer was placed through the Big Shot with the subtle dynamic embossing folder to add a...

I have another Bendi card to share with you today. The inspiration for this card came from Connie Stewart HERE Most of the Bendi fold cards have a double bend, this one is created with just one bend, with the flap inserted into the side of the birthday cake making it easy to lay flat and place in an envelope. The bottom half of the large birthday thinlit sentiment is attached to the bend, leaving the top to hang free! The picture is not very clear, the powder pink card was run through the big...

I used two of my favourite new bundles from the Spring/Summer catalogue: Meant to be and Forever Lovely to create the card I used a colour combination of Lovely Lipstick and Garden Green.  If you changed the sentiment of Happy Valentine's day it would be suitable for a Wedding or an anniversary card. The individual Stampin Up supply list for this card project is below, with direct links to the...
