Stampin Up Magical Mermaid

Stampin Up Magical Mermaid

Who doesn't like a mermaid? There is something just wonderful about mermaids and the sea and all the lovely myths and fairy tales that surround mermaids.  I was super excited when Stampin Up launched this Magical Mermaid stamp set.  It has a background sand stamp with little shells, crabs and starfish in and the fronds of sea foliage really give the mermaid a watery underwater feel.

Stampin Up Ribbon of Courage

Stampin Up Ribbon of Courage for all those suffering or know someone with Cancer.

In this day and age there is probably no one who hasn't been affected by someone with Cancer. I have two colleagues at work and one of my seniors who have all been through breast cancer and are now all thankfully in remission.

It is one of the most difficult things to understand how someone is feeling and what support is appropriate.  Sometimes sending a card saying you are thinking of them and you are there for them is a way of lifting their spirits and warming a heart.

I was delighted when Patty Bennett a million sales demonstrator created this stamp set having lost loved ones through cancer.  It is a privilege and honour to have bought and own this set and I plan to make and give some of these cards made with this stamp set to my local hospice and cancer support groups.  It is my very small way of giving something back and sharing cards with others.

The first picture is white embossed on flirty flamingo cardstock and the sentiment is stamped in flirty flamingo ink.

The second picture is coloured using our Stampin Write Markers and mounted on a Stitched Framelits oval and mounted in Flirty Flamingo.

If you would like to buy this bundle then please go to the shop button above or click one of the highlighted product links below. This Ribbon of Courage set is going to be very special to me as I hope it will be to you to.  

Happy crafting and see you all soon.

Stampin Up Colourful Seasons Life Is A Beautiful Thing

Creating Simple One Layer Cards

Sometimes we seem to forget that not everybody has a die cutting machine such as a Big Shot and the idea of die cutting is not everybody's taste.  As a crafter I love to do all types of cards and yes I love my Big Shot but sometimes a simpler approach can give a beautiful result.

Colourful Seasons  

Colourful Seasons is a photopolymer stamp set of 24 different images

It is a very versatile set as it can be used at any time of the year including Christmas with the lovely snowflake images and has this lovely deckchair and cold drink with straw which I have used on the card above.

The colour I chose for this card is Lemon/Lime Twist a vibrant green colour ideal for a summery scene.

So if you are a beginner stamper or just starting out why not consider the Colourful Seasons stamp set. All products are available through my shop button above or by clicking any of the highlighted links.

Thanks for dropping by, have a great day and catch you again soon.

The New Annual Catalogue has arrived and it is jam packed full of lots of new exciting products one of which is the Colourful Seasons Bundle 24photopolymer stamps with coordinating 17 dies. This bundle covers all seasons with some lovely sentiments.

Colourful Seasons Video Tutorial

In this video tutorial I have shown how you can layer some framelits, I  used Stitched Shapes Framelits and Layering Circle Framelits Dies to create the layers and then stamped the small circle flower from the Colourful Seasons stamp set in Fresh Fig ink and Sweet Sugarplum ink. These two inks are a perfect blend.

To be able to use all of our lovely dies which coordinate so well with all of our lovely stamp sets you will need a Big Shot by Stampin Up This is a considered purchase at £99 but is a complete workhorse and I have had mine for nearly 5 years, have used it daily myself and for classes and it is still going strong. I cannot recommend it highly enough and if you club together with a few friends and put in an order of £525 you can get it for half price making a real bargain.

Thank you for stopping by and supporting my blog and YouTube channel. If you haven't  already subscribed then please consider as I post regular weekly video's using the latest products from Stampin Up.
