Camo Love

Thank you to everyone who took the time to watch my Facebook Live on Friday evening. As promised, here is the blog post to accompany the project we made.

Whenever I scour a new Stampin’ Up! catalogue, there are items which immediately jump out to me and set ideas going in my head. The camouflage background stamp immediately got me thinking about cards for male recipients – they are one of my biggest challenges.

Originally, I made this as part of a challenge set in the Stampin’ Up! team that I am part of – we had to use the three colours Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight & Balmy Blue (with only white or black as additionals). This is what I came up with!

As part of my TFI Crafty Friday, I demonstrated how to make this card and used a different colour way – Just Jade, Cinnamon Cider & Granny Apple Green.

Unicorn Magic

So, I have a confession to make! I wasn’t the person who designed and made this card – it was my daughter, Mia. She is a fan of unicorns and absolutely loved the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP) when it arrived in my new catalogue order. The Hippo Happiness Stamp Set is her absolute favourite and so whilst I was sat in my room crafting one evening, she joined me and this is her creation.

Mia didn’t want to take too much focus away from the gorgeous background paper she chose for her card, but she knew she wanted a unicorn to feature on there somewhere. Using the Hippo & Friends dies, she chose two shapes and layered them up with a flagged banner between them.

And of course, what goes better with a unicorn die cut than a unicorn sentiment and some Wink of Stella? I think she’s absolutely nailed it! Please leave Mia your likes and comments about her card, she would be absolutely thrilled to see if you like it too.

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Tealights with Comfort & Hope

20200605_083514824_iOS

Recent global events have us all looking at things differently – for me this has crossed into the way I look at crafts. My posts earlier this week involved making, and subsequently posting, cards for team members who I would normally see every day at work. A 21st birthday and the welcoming of a new baby are events we would normally celebrate together in the office and present cards as part of this.

It made me think about other ways in which we can show we still care in times when we can physically see those we love. Today’s box is a great way of doing this with very little craft material needed. It houses 6 tea lights, the standard size ones you can usually get from supermarkets.

The Comfort and Hope stamp set gave the perfect sentiment to add onto the front, with a stamped off image to finish it off. How has crafting helped you during lockdown?

Best Wishes,
Suzanne
