Stampin Up Dragonfly Dreams

There have been some fabulous sunrises and sunsets recently with the year nearing the shortest day and this gave me the inspiration for today's card. I am using a brand new stamp set and die bundle not available till 1st January 2017 but I just know it is going to fly, excuse the pun, when it launches in the new Stampin Up Spring/summer catalogue. Dragonflies are as popular as butterflies and can add beautiful dimensions to many cards and projects.

I started with the confetti embossing folder and watercoloured in pink, purple and yellow. Once dried I used some gilding wax to bring the embossed area to life and also the centre panel. Then I sponged with blackberry bliss and dapper denim to give that dreamy sunset sky. I die cut the largest Dragonfly and mounted on dimensionsals and then die cut and cut out separately the smaller dragonflies all in black for a gorgeous silhouette.

Stampin Up products are only available through demonstrators like myself, so write my name down Jane Allmark and when ordering please use me. The Spring/Summer catalogue together with Saleabration supplement which is full of free items for every £45 spent I will send to you if you drop me a line, so you can be ready to order on 1st Jan and if you are in the GU9 Farnham area I run monthly workshop classes where you get to try out new products and make projects.

Stampin Up Dragonfly Dreams

As I was telling you all yesterday Jan 1st is the launch of the new Spring/Summer catalogue and the start of sale a Bration where for every £45 spent you can get a free product from the sale a Bration brochure. So here is the second sneak peak at the gorgeous Dragonfly Dreams bundle a combination of stamps and coordinating dies. Today is the lovely bumble bee. There are so many great things that you can add a bee to. We are all busy bees so these images can be added to many card themes. The sentiments in this set are great inspirational quotes for all us fabulous women. So this set will become a real go to for so many projects.

Now as many of you know I am not a techy person so do not have fancy links etc. There is a simple link to the Stampin Up website but you need to write my name down Jane Allmark and then when you order you can remember to use me Jane Allmark as your demonstrator of choice. Thanks for this patience as it helps my order go to me when your making your purchases.

So back to the card. Bees. I used three and then mounted the sentiment on some hessian ribbon with some linen twine, for s really natural look. The background splodge is also in this set and gives a lovely tonal background. The fab thing is it is easy to get an even rectangle or square background as the splodges are evenly sided to allow this.

Stampin Up sheltering tree christmas

well today is my birthday and I have the family round for dinner and the day off work. It is a real treat but before they all arrive I have time to put a post of probably one of my favourite Christmas cards.  Crumb cake is so natural and combined with some linen thread makes the base for this card. I stamped a solitary tree, added some snow and a single bauble. I just love it.
All products used can be found on the Stampin Up website, link above, and please use me Jane Allmark as your demonstrator of choice.
