Ink Stamp Share Winter Catalogue Blog Hop






Hello and welcome to this months Ink. Stamp. Share blog hop.  You may of hopped from Sandra Roberts and you’re now with Linda Handford UK.   We are a  group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from different corners of the world and once a month we are given a theme and then we hope to  inspire you with our creations.  This month our theme is the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue.  I find this very exciting as I love making Christmas cards. Of course it’s not only Christmas in this catalogue, but Christmas products was what I pre-ordered.





I’ve used my favourite stamp set Playful Penguins, using the notecards and envelopes has made this a fairly simple project.  Perfect cards for children and Grandchildren to send to their friends as well as sending to grown ups!

I stamped my scarf onto Poppy Parade and Coastal Cabana Card stock, this makes your scarf ready to go with no colouring required, although I did fussy cut and pop them up on mini dimensionals.





Ice Stampin Glitter was a must have on my shopping list as I love a Christmas card with glitter, paired up with the Shimmery Crystal Effects glue worked really well, although I also tried with Multipurpose glue, this still works but was a bit sticky.










Even though this is a simple card I’ve  made a quick video below.

Card Using Vellum


The theme this time is Vellum, it’s been a tricky challenge for me!

I’ve used a Blushing Bride Card base with a Vellum layer, lots of tropical leaf stamping.  The Stamping is the most time consuming part to this card, otherwise easy card to make.  










When using vellum the most important thing to remember is glue can be seen through it, so when designing your card think what your glue can hide behind.  My sentiment was the perfect place to hide my glue.  You could also wrap your vellum around your card and stick to back, or secure with decorative brads and eyelets.

I’ve made a video to show how I made this card.







Please join in with this challenge, we love to see your work.

Tri-Shutter Card Fold -Goth Looking!

Today I made a Tri-Shutter Card, these come in various layouts, this is a simple one.  I’ve used Basic Black 12 x 12 as my base with some lovely Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! I didn’t realise the 12 x 12 Basic Black had retired when making this card! You could use Basic Grey as a great alternative. 

 I didn’t start out thinking I was going to be making such a dark goth looking card but that’s the way it turned out, I’m actually loving it. Sometimes it nice to venture outside your normal style.






The card when folded is 4 x 6, easily fitting into a Stampin’ Up! Envelope.







I’ve cut the largest Stitched Nesting Die in Whisper White and stuck to the back for your message.

Watch how I made this here
