Embossing And Die Cutting with Fancy Phrases.

Hello and welcome to another project, I have been busy with a charity fundraiser this month, cycling 500km (311 miles) for Maggie's Cancer Care, so have had no chance to plan anything due to being shattered!

So, I am continuing to go through unused stamp sets and today it is the turn of the Fancy Phrases bundle.

Fun With DSP And Punches

 Hello and thank you for visiting today, I have a ton of DSP (Designer Series Paper) and need to use it up, so I came up with the following, I will also be pursuing the Internet for more ideas :)

Hello everyone and welcome to another blog hop from The Gentleman Crafters, every second Friday we get together with a project we choose ourselves.

 So being inspired by the lovely Create with Christine I cased her project, adding my own tweaks to it.

Christmas in July with Snow Wonder.

Snow Wonder was the winner of my last Facebook poll, so taking some inspiration from the new August - December Mini Catalogue which customers can order from on August 4th I came up with this.

TGCDT: July 2020 - Beautiful Moments meets Strong and Beautiful

Hello, it's that time again, another blog hop with The Gentleman Crafters, after an absence from me due to poor health.
I wanted to combine these two stamp sets as they are both pretty awesome, Beautiful Moments and Strong & Beautiful, here is what I came up with.

Customer Gifts for May Shoppers

A bit late this month, due to sciatica issues, but I finally got them finished and posted. Original inspiration from Scrimpingmommy link here - https://youtu.be/RiQuyrp1X20 I changed the size to get full use of a sheet of 12x12 DSP

Vintage Shabby with Very Versailles and Forever Blossoms

So I was in a kind of vintage shabby mood today and taking inspiration from a downline and the wonderful Scrimpingmommy, (youtube links below) I came up with this.

And can you spot the mistake I made? I never noticed until I was editing the video!
Someone take me out to the woodshed! LOL!

Magnolia Lane Memories And More

I haven't used this suite nearly as much as I should have done, so... Card making doesn't get any easier than this! :)

Black & White With A Splash Of Colour

Well it's customer card time and I really wanted to do a black & white and a splash of colour, so off I went and four done and I realised that the DSP I was using in fact retired a few weeks ago, so I went to plan b and stamped my own with the Pop of Petals stamps.

Simple Support Card

I used the lovely 'Artfully Aware' stamp set, perfect for support cards as it includes a ribbon stamp, glorious sentiments and a die for the ribbon can be purchased separately.

Here is a Good Man

Hello everyone, it is masculine card time using Stampin' Up! 'A Good Man.
Here is what I came up with. 

A Beautiful Moment

Hello everyone and thank you for visiting today.
I was looking at the Spring mini catalogue and came across a sample for the Beautiful Moments which I fell in love with, I originally did it in Crumb Cake to which my darling wife replied 'eww, it's brown'.
So this version uses Very Vanilla and a different embossing folder.

Masculine Cards with Stampin' Up! 'Clubhouse'

Forever Blossoms meets Parisian Beauty

Two really beautiful stamp and die sets, both of which are part of the Parisian Blossoms Suite in the Spring/Summer catalogue.

Is it a Balloon or a Flower?

It's both!
Ok, actually it is a flower but made with a balloon punch!
I then attached the flower to a pizza box which I had decorated with DSP cut with my Scan 'n' Cut
Instructions for the flower came from the lovely Angelina at Intatwyne Designs here https://youtu.be/K4rH6uY2Ja4
I have included the cutting file used to cut the DSP below.

TGCDT: January 2020 - Above the Clouds

This blog hop has come round a bit quick this month, so what do I do when I'm in a rush or lacking inspiration...

I look at the wonderful Stampin' Up! catalogues for inspiration and this is one I have cased from there with a couple of my own tweaks :)

Vintage Shabby Parisian Beauty Suite

One of my first purchases from the new Stampin' Up! 2020 mini catalogue was the Parisian Blossoms suite, it is so beautiful and here is my first project with it.

Scan N Cut Cutting File Creation for the Buckle Card

Hello everyone a few days ago I posted a Buckle Fold card designed by Connie Stewart. In this video I describe the creation of the Scan N Cut cutting file.

Connie Stewarts Buckle Card

Hi everyone, I saw this card over at Connie Stewarts Simple Stamping and just had to case it.

The first one I used Melon Mambo and followed her instructions, the second one I used Petal Pink and worked out the measurements to put into my Brother Scan N Cut CM900.
