Guest Blogger - Fiona Whitehead

Welcome to my blog!  Can you believe its already 31st March?  Where has the time gone?  Can you believe Sale-A-Bration ends today!?!

Today I'd like to introduce a Guest Blogger, Fiona Whitehead, who is a fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator here in the UK. 

A bit about Fiona:

Fiona lives in a small village in Hampshire near Andover and has been crafting for over 20 years, using Stampin' Up! products for 15, and first used Stampin' Up! when she lived in Texas!  Fiona runs two classes in Andover and Winchester, and also at home.  She has grown up kids but a demanding husband and four pets lol!  You can find more info on Fiona at her blog, Crafty Stamping.

Thanks so much, Fiona, for being todays Guest Blogger.  Take it away..!

PERFECT PAIRINGS/SERENE SILHOUETTES - BORDER SENTIMENT

I've just found this new technique and love it.  Known as Border Sentiment I think its great especially for cards which only want one layer.  I've added the butterfly just because I had it and its lovely but it would be equally nice without an embellishment.

Simple technique - just simply stamp your sentiment and draw a line with a ruler.  Mask this off then with some post it notes or masking paper and stamp away.  Simples!  But effective!  I'm going to enter this into the Less is More challenge which is asking for views outside your window - the weather here in the UK is so lovely today I actually saw a butterfly outside my window.  Shame the rain is supposed to come just in time for Easter :(  you'll find the challenge here

I'm also adding this card into the CASology challenge here where the theme is weather.

I've used the Perfect Pairings for the sentiment and Serene Silhouettes and also some of the little flowers from Birthday Blooms.  The Kindly word has been gone over with a red marker pen and, of course, a Wink of Stella just to finish it off.

All of the products used can be found in the Annual or seasonal Stampin' Up! catalogues, and can be found here.

Please do use the reward code to get free products (reward code shown in the to right of my blog is the current one).  If your order is over £150, please do not use this code as you then qualify for Hostess Rewards.  And remember, during Sale-a-Bration, you get to choose a free product from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue for every £45 you spend!

A Week of Wildflower Fields - Day 4, Thank You So Much

Welcome to Day 4 of my Week of Wildflower Fields!  Today I teamed up the Wildflower Fields DSP with another Sale-A-Bration product, the Perfect Pairings stamp set.

I don't know about you, but I hate wasting my DSP.  With this in mind, I have created todays card...

Todays card is surprisingly simple to make.  You take your Whisper White card blank, then mat and layer a sheet of DSP with some more Whisper White card.  The greeting is stamped using the Perfect Pairings stamp set and Calypso Coral Classic Stampin' Pad, then 1" wide strips of coordinating DSP are punched with the Triple Banner Punch, then arranged on the card and cut to size.  Once you are happy with the arrangement, stick in place.

Here is the full list of products used to create this project:

I hope you have enjoyed this project.

Happy Birthday Chick

With Sale-a-Bration in full swing, today I'd like to share with you a card and gift tag combo, made using one of the Sale-a-Bration stamp sets.  You could choose the Honeycomb Happiness as your free gift for spending £45 on anything Stampin' Up!

This chirpy little guy was stamped in Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad, then coloured in using the Hello Honey Classic Stampin' Pad and an Aqua Brush.  The balloon was much the same, only stamped twice, the first into the background paper, then a second into some Whisper White card.  The balloon was then cut out and attached on top of the other balloon with Stampin' Dimensionals 3D foam pads.

The tag was made from a piece of Whisper White card, cut to 2" x 4" (or 5cm x 10cm), then the end punched using the Angled Tag Topper Punch (currently on sale within our Clearance section).  The tag was then decorated in pretty much the same way as the card

In addition to the Sale-a-Bration stamp sets used, here are the products used to create today's project:

Happy Day Botanicals

I can't get over all of the fantastic freebies that you can earn during Sale-a-Bration!  Two of them are the Wildflower Fields DSP and Flowering Fields Stamp Set, which coordinate with each other beautifully.

Today's card was made using the Wildflower Fields DSP as background, decorated with a Wildflower Fields tag and Flowering Fields stamped gift tag, layered and tied together with some Old Olive Bakers Twine.  The stamped image was coloured using the Classic Stampin' Pads listed below and an Aqua Painter.  The edges on the tag and greeting (made using the Perfect Pairings Stamp Set, also a Sale-a-Bration freebie) were decorated using a Stampin' Sponge and Delightful Dijon Classic Stampin' Pad.

Here are all of the products used:
