Stampin' Up Open Sleigh

We had an all day class on Saturday. Everyone got a goody bag with the Open Sleigh Stamp Set, an ink pad, cherry cobbler glitter, some Be of Good Cheer DSP and lots of card.  We made lots of cards, some only using what was in the goody bag and others using extra accessories. Most of them were 'flash' cards so  only used the card base and a neutral and coloured card template and because it's for Christmas some DSP.
Here is the first card that only use what's in the bag and the second version was spruced up using the scallop trim border and boho blossoms flower punch.

I love this stamp set, it's got two nice sentiments as well as some lovely images and you can use the swirl any time of the year. The next card we made was a diorama card using the label framelits.

I will show you some more of the many cards we made tomorrow. If you would like to come to one of my all day or evening classes take a look at my class schedule and let me know. If my class is full I can always run it again with a few more people.

Flash Card Challenge - Card 1

This is my first flash card I made using the flash card challenge kit. (See yesterdays post if you're not sure what I'm on about).
I made a diorama card using half a sheet of river rock card using the third smallest label framelit, (keep the cut out label to use for another card) see Sally Jo's instructions. I used a soft suede and very vanilla card piece.  Cut the 3rd smallest label framelit from soft suede piece - you will need to put it at an angle. I punched a 1" circle and modern label from the middle of the soft suede framelit (this will be covered up by very vanilla) then cut in half lengthways.
I stamped the large tree from the lovely as a tree stamp set in always artichoke ink. I cut this out using the 3rd smallest framelit again.  There were missing edges so I just cut this level between the curves on the side. I used the two halves of the soft suede framelit to edge the very vanilla.
Using some of the spare very vanilla card in the kit I stamped Merry Christmas in soft suede (From Teeny Tiny Wishes set) and punched out using word window. I stamped the pine cone in always artichoke and punched out using 3/4" circle punch. I mounted these on the soft suede modern label and 1" circle. I added some soft suede taffeta ribbon. If you have survived the instructions, here is my card:

And a different angle:

12" x12" DSP Purse and Diorama Card

Another craft fair item!  I made one of these little DSP purses but used a 12" x 12" instead of a 6" x 6", (so not so little!), just double on the measurements. The DSP is retired, sorry forgot it's name but it's very nice!

I made another Diorama Card to match, I know yet another one but they are so easy to make. The Stamp Sets are Apothecary Art and Oval All. I used the Boho Blossoms Punch.

Craft Fair and Everyday Enchantment.

I've been busy making things for a craft stall. I used the gorgeous Everyday Enchantment DSP and the Free brads and Ribbon I got last month. I love promotions! 
I made some diorama cards because they look great especially with the brads and ribbon and are so easy to do, then I made little 6 x 6 DSP purses to put gift cards or small presents in. I made a few sets of these.

Another Attic Boutique Handbag

Here is another handbag that I made with the Attic Boutique DSP.

This time I used the Apothecary Art stamp set with matching label framelits to make the cards.  I made two diorama cards, score an  the A4 card before you cut it in half to save you having to score twice. I think these cards look like you spent ages making them but are actually really quick once you know how!  Here's the link to Stampin' Sally-Jo's tutorial.
The cards are the same but I coloured one in using pool party ink and blender pen, with pool party boho blossom flowers, the other uses daffodil delight.

Sail Away Diorama Card

At class yesterday we made some cards for men and boys, I don't know about you but I find these a lot harder to do than those for ladies. The first card I will show you is another diorama card, told you I love making these, they are so easy to do but look really difficult!

As you can see we made this as a fathers day card but you could use any sentiment.

Diorama Card and frame using Labels Framelits

This is a quick post on this Jubillee Weekend to show you a little card I made for someone moving home.  I love making these diorama cards and they are quick and easy to do once you know how. Here is a great video by the lovely Sally Jo that shows you how to make them.

The colour scheme is bashful blue, pretty in pink and so saffron.  I used the bird punch again and the boho blossoms punch for the flowers. I used the simply scored tool to make the lines.
The little frame is easy to make using the new label framelits from Stampin Up.
Just line one framelit inside the other and run through your big shot on tab 2, you can use a post-it-note to stop it moving around.

I love these framelits and I think you will be seeing a lot of them!
