ATC's with Stampin' Up!

Here are my January ATC's for the UK Stampers Forum on Facebook.
The theme this month was locks and keys.

Daisy Delight meets Share What You Love DSP

Two beautiful products which go so well together.
I created the cut out shape by punching the daisy out first and then going over with the 2¼ circle punch. Got the inspiration from Pinterest.

Cards for a Friend

It was a friends birthday late in December and also of course Christmas, here is a couple of cards I made for her :)

Birthday card.

Dandelion Wishes meets Dragonfly Dreams

Welcome to my first video project for 2019.

Love the way this turned out with the combination of Crumb Cake and Copper, here is the card.

Feminine Birthday Cards

So, it is my sister's birthday on Monday, so time to #makeacardsendacard, my niece also commissioned me to make two cards for the event, one from her and one from her son.

All of the products used (except any retired ones) will be listed at the bottom of the page.

This is what I came up with... This is my card to her.

Christmas Commissions Part Trois

Another commission, this time from my niece, she needed 10 cards and 30 small cards for her son to give to classmates. Only brief was they had to be secular.
This is what I came up with.

Her cards (with some Stampin' Up! and some contraband DSP!)

Spring Sneak Peak 07 - Nine Lives

In last years holiday catalogue we had a bundle with a cat punch, I bought the punch but not the stamp set, anyway the punch carried over into the current (2018-19) annual catalogue but with no stamp set to use it with, very puzzling indeed.

Anyway looking through the new spring/summer 2019 occasions catalogue, there it is, a lovely stamp set for the cat punch, YAY! I get way too excited LOL.

Here is what I came up with.

Make Any Size Box...

...with ease!
Big thanks to Donna from the Stampin' Up! training team for the inspiration and technique.

Big Bow Card with Stampin' Up!

Hi everyone, I spotted a video by LiveLoveScrap on YouTube of a lovely big bow card and had to case. The original was made using non-su products and you can watch it here.

My version is 100% current Stampin' Up!

Using up DSP and Other Bits Part 7 of 8

Part 7 and its birthday time. I fell in love with this suite and am sad now that the DSP, stamps and Dies have retired.

These cards are approx 6"x6", not my usual A6 size, always good to change things up!

Here's what I did...

Using up DSP and Other Bits Part 4 of 8

Hello everyone, halfway through this series now and the DSP is Floral Boutique, a good freind sent me half a pack after I missed out on it and I am finally using it!

I did a few different designs of cards, tho the card bases are all the same size and the DSP is 4"x4" The style is CAS which I love and particularly suits the purpose of the cards I think.

I used 4 different designs of the paper, here is the first.

Using Up DSP and Other Bits Part 1 of 8

A series of 8 posts detailing the use of retiring and retired products together with new stuff here and there!

Delightful Daisy DSP, going to so sad to see this retire, it is really beautiful.

I cased the card from the lovely scrimpingmommy and you can see her original card here

I did two different daisies and sentiments, here is the first with the daisy in Calypso Coral.

Berry Burst Extravaganza!

I had a couple of cards to create, the first one is a case from Papercraft with Crafty (blog)

Loved this one.

Casing Gaynor!

Miss G Crafts on youtube link here did this stunning Christmas card which I had to CASE!

I changed a couple of things, the DSP (as I don't have it yet) the snowflakes were substituted for metallic dollies, and the die cut snowflake came from the Seasonal Layers TD.

A couple of retired items in the mix, the metallic doilies as I don't have the new foil snowflakes yet and the Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum, use whatever DSP you like.

Carols of Christmas!

Shamelessly copied from scrimpinmommy.co.uk, love this card.
