Ever wondered what yo do with all those scraps? This is a fun way to create some lovely quilted style patterns on any die cut you choose.

Using the reverse side of your cardstock place the papers in sequence in a symmetrical pattern to achieve a quilted overlapping effect.

How excited am I to have found this great tip.  When using the Labeler Alphabet punch out your letters using the bottom of the Bulb Punch. It fits perfectly.

Theres a video for you to see what I did.

The dsp I used if FREE if you place an order over £200, so get together with some friends and get yourself some free dsp.  It called Dashing Along.

Stampin Up Winter Woods - how to get birch trees to stand out

I love trees and everything to do with woods, so when Stampin Up brought out the Winter Woods Bundle I knew I had to get it.

So it arrived today and it is just fantastic.  The first thing I wanted to try was to use the silver birches and try and get them to stand out from the background.  So this is my first way of achieving this.

I used the Merry Merlow copper reversible ribbon which worked beautifully with the Tranquil Tide and the lovely leaf which is a die in the set and creates a leaf with embossed veins.  I cut the sentiment down so it just said Thinking of You. Merry Merlot Copper Reversible Ribbon

Here is the video to show you exactly what I did.

How to create a shimmery background using Stampin Up Peaceful Noel & Vegas Gold

When we craft we can always make a blooper and when I created the video for this card I managed to put this card together upside down.  When I viewed it back I thought I would keep it in as it made me giggle that I couldn't fathom out what I had done wrong. So a quick replacing of the dimensionals and everything was good.

This is the pretty card I created. Making a background and layer using the splodge stamp from Peaceful Noel

The Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint can be inked up with a sponge dauber onto the stamp and then stamped onto the image to create a gorgeous gold effect.
