Watch the video to see how to create a lovely 3D fairy.
Make a whole bunch at the same time and then fussy cut them out whilst watching tv or relaxing in the evening then they are ready for your projects.
Here are a few close ups of the fairy with my porcelain fairy.
Use whatever medium you wish to colour the fairies,

Have you ever struggled creating background? They can be quite tricky and blending is a bit of an art and can take time to master. I have had many people comment about how easy I make blending a background with sponge daubers and it is sometimes difficult not to get little blobby circles and to now create a smooth blend.
Well I have a solution for you. Glycerine. The glycerine I use is for baking and is Dr Oetker, comes in a little bottle you can buy from most baking or cooking shops and most supermarkets sell it in the baking isle. It is inexpensive and a little goes a long way.
Watch the video to see just how easy a background comes together with just a few drops of glycerine.
These were the lovely cards I created
Now as crafters we all make mistakes and bloopers and if you watch the video you will see a couple and how I rectified one.
ENJOY LIFE was the stamp set, which is such a great silhouette stamp set andlends itself to background techniques.
STAMPARATUS is the best positioning tool on the market at a great price point, so treat yourself and change the way you stamp forever.
Thanks so much for everyone who has subscribed to my YouTube channel and blog and if you haven't already then please do as I post lots of ideas and inspiration for you to have a go with.
What do I love about Stampin Up products? Well whatever card you want to make there is a stamp set that is suitable. Add a bit of creativity and an idea and away you go.
ENJOY LIFE is the stamp set I chose. Now unfortunately I have a couple of friends who are going through a really tough time having recently had strokes (heart attacks) and are bravely fighting through and working hard towards fitness. The girl in the card with her hands in the air is such a powerful image and I surrounded her with butterflies and put her in a meadow of flowers.
I wanted to show their achievements so far after the stroke so put the border with a heart beat.
Watch the video so see how I created this.
Here is the completed card
The sentiment Wake Up Kick Butt Repeat is again a powerful statement and suitable for anyone facing a challenge.
However for those sporty people it would also be great too.
To buy any of the products seen in this card just shop HERE

This background could be used for many different silhouette stamps and I chose to use the lovely new DANDELION WISHES
I have used this background stamp taken from the SHELTERING TREE
which is just perfect to add colour and with the hinge step stamping using the Stamparatus it is so easy to do.
Check out the video for step by step instructions.

THE STAMPARATUS is in my opinion the best positioning tool on the market. Two removable plates and hinge step stamping. It really is the easiest and simplest positioning tool to make your stamping projects perfect every time.
These 4 cards were made simply using the brusho crystals to create a simple background and then stamped using the Stamparatus to make multiple card making easy.
DANDELION WISHES make a great silhouette stamp and stamps over a coloured background easily. This stamp set is only £19and comes in red rubber, a real bargain.

The SWEET STORYBOOK BUNDLE is a new stamp set and coordinating thinlets in the new annual catalogue. I have been using this bundle in lots of different ways and today I am concentrating on the leaf foliage stamp.
This first card uses the foliage stamp simply stamped in Mint Macaron and the little flowers stamped at the end of each one of the fronds in Calypso Coral with a couple die cut in Real Red for a little dimension. The sentiment from the set is die cut with the rectangular die from the same thinlets.
For this card we stepped it up a bit by adding some die cut flowers from the COLOURFUL SEASONS stamp set and coordinating dies. For this card I stamped the foliage stamp from the Sweet Storybook, stamping off once to get a subtle tone and then using the STAMPARATUS in my opinion the best positioning tool on the market, stamp around the edge of the card. The card I used was 4.75" square with a matt of Tranquil Tide 5" square.
The stamp and die cut two of the leaf foliage images, they stamp and cut in a pair, one in Tranquil Tide and the other in Lemon/Lime Twist. With our PAPER SNIPS, perfect sharp pointed and easy to use craft scissors, cut the leaves apart and then place in a wreath around the card and stick down using dimenionals to some height and interest. Arrange the flowers around the card and then add a sentiment of your choice in the middle.
One of the best things about Stampin Up products is their versatility. One stamp set and coordinating die can create so many different projects. This is why I love being a Stampin Up Demonstrator, sharing all these lovely things with you all.
Here are a couple of videos using the Sweet Storybook in different ways. Enjoy and please look at subscribing to my YouTube channel and blog as I post regularly and love sharing new ideas with Stampin Up with you all.
The Stampin Up STAMPARATUS is the perfect positioning tool and I must admit I use it most of the time as it saves me time in my stamping and I love how I can get all my stamp aligned at the same time just by rotating the plates, and the hinge step makes making duplicates so easy. Want to know what I mean? then just watch the video below.
SWEET STORYBOOK I just adore. I have always loved anything to do with nature so a stamp set with leafy foliage, toadstool and mice are right up my street.
I'd like to give a big thank you to my subscribers on my YouTube channel for their lovely comments and this video is for everyone who wanted a toadstool to be used. If you haven't already subscribed to my channel then please do so you don't miss any of my videos. I have 54 already there and try a post a couple of time a week and will always try and come up with ideas and styles you might not have seen anywhere else.
If you missed yesterdays video then here it is again
and here is the finished card from this project
Happy stamping and enjoy your day. I am grateful to each and every one of you for your support of my videos and blog. Thank you x
The STAMPARATUS is in my opinion the best positioning tool on the market and I use it all the time. Always get a perfect stamped image every time is one of the great benefits.
Today's project is the video for the lovely card I posted the other day using the SWEET STORYBOOK
The foliage leaves are just perfect to frame any card whether it be flowers or just a large sentiment and of course the little mice make a perfect nature card.
This is one of the things I love about Stampin Up products they can be used to make so many different cards and projects. Stampin Up quality is extremely high and each set has been carefully designed to ensure it can be used in many different ways making every piece great value for money.

Feeling really excited as my order from the new annual catalogue arrived today.
SWEET STORYBOOK is the most delightful bundle of stamp set and framelits and this is the first project I made.
I absolutely adore the leaves which I stamped in Tranquil Tide and Mint Macaron. The little flowers and heart on the sentiment used Calypso Coral and the little mice in Crumb Cake and Sahara Sand.
This is the bundle and shows you all the different pieces.
As you can see the leaves die cuts two and stamps two at the same time but die cut separately so you can use them in different ways on a project (as I did in the card above.
This peep through card is the example in the catalogue and shows how all the elements come together for this lovely card.
As you can see on my card I have given the card a country nature feel, by taking four of the leaves and putting the mice separately tucked into the foliage. The sentiment and rectangular die give a more grown up feel with "for my little squeakheart".
Subscribe to my blog as I will be showing more projects over the coming days and will get a video up with this great set by Friday (if you haven't already subscribe to my YouTube channel as I have 53 videos with some fun ideas and techniques.
Havent got a new catalogue yet? let me know and I will send one out to you FREE of charge.
I'm so excited that the STAMPARATUS is now available. This is by far the best positioning tool on the market as it has two plates, giving you four stamping surfaces and each plate come out and can move up and down giving a great hinge step stamping. Red rubber or photopolymer stamps no problem the Stampartus works perfectly with both. The wreath technique is very popular with positioning tools and on this card I made a lovely wreath card using the gorgeous flowers from the VARIED VASES BUNDLE a stamp set and coordinating punch.
Here is a video showing you how to make this lovely card. Please look at subscribing to my YouTube channel as I have 53 videos showing lots of projects and techniques using Stampin Up products.
The combination of Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide match perfectly and the flowers have been coloured with our Stampin Blends in Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party.
The circles were cut out using the STITCHED SHAPES FRAMELITS. If there is one set of frameits shapes to buy I would recommend this one as you get circles, squares and ovals all in one set.
Don't forget to add the SIMPLY SHAMMY to your basket before checking out. This is a really thick cleaning cloth which fits inside our slim cases and is so easy to use. See it in action on my video
