Stampin Up Beautiful You Valentine Card

I am not a great fan of Valentine's Day as being a single lady there really isn't much call for it. However as a Stampin Up demonstrator it is a lovely time to showcase cards for classes and parties and for those that are looking for ideas that cannot be found on the high street.

Beautiful You stamp set as you are probably aware from seeing some of my other posts is one of my absolute favourite stamp sets. I love the beautiful line drawings of the ladies and the sentiments are just perfect and very inspirational.

In this card all of the products are from the Stampin Up catalogues. Have a browse in the links above and when ready use the 'shop ' button to purchase.

I have used, Beautiful You stamp set, flirty flamingo cardstock, real red for highlights in the dress from the gorgeous watercolour pencils, organza ribbon, wink of stella for sparkle on the hearts, grey dotty background from free sale a bration dsp, and whisper white cardstock for card base and panel piece. Oh and the little hearts are punched for the owl punch, such a flexible punch.

Have a wonderful day and hope you enjoy this project.

Stampin Up Beautiful You Reflection Technique

For the last few days I have been stuck in bed with the horrible flu virus which has been going around. Like many of us I thought I'd missed it and then it came on with avengeance. So today is the first day I've ventured from my bed and I thought a quiet few hours in the craft room were in order.

I was watching a fabulous video ( by Jane Rappleyea a fellow demonstrator) on the reflection technique using an old rubber blank stamp to create the mirror image. However as I didn't have any of this I thought I would try stamping directly onto our fabulous smooth acrylic blocks and yippee skippee it worked really well. I used our black marker to go over the lines to crisp them up and then coloured them using the yellow and orange from our new watercolour pencils, which are high pigmented and super creamy.

Fancy buying some Stampin Up products or having a good old browse of our fabulous catalogue then click on the link above, grab yourself a pen and write my name down JANE ALLMARK  and use me as your demonstrator of choice.

Have a fab day, stay warm and safe and above all well. See you all soon x
