Loyal and True with the Best Badge punch

For todays project i have gone back to the annual catalogue. 
It's easy to get caught up with the excitement of Christmas projects and we forget some of the gorgeous products we have available all year round.

'Loyal and True' is mainly aimed at servicemen or woman but it could also be just to tell someone how proud you are of them. Maybe they have a new job, passed an exam etc. 


I have used a 5x5 inch card blank in whisper white then taken some dsp from the 'colour theory' paper stack to layer on top.
Choosing coordinating inks i then stamped over some kraft card using the little star stamp from the 'Loyal and True' stamp set. 
Using the 'Best Badge' punch to cut these out and also the stamped loyal and true sentiment gives the perfect shape with minimum fuss.
A strip of ribbon folded is glued between the badges to give some added interest. 

The first card uses 'Dapper Denim' and 'Real Red' as the main colours whilst the second card is a combination of 'Old Olive' and 'Crumb Cake' 

I really like how these turned out and they are so quick to make.

If you would like to learn how to make cards yourself then drop me a message at rachhome@msn.com and i would be delighted to do a 1-1 or small group class for you. 
If you would like to order any Stampin Up products you can do so 24/7 using my online shop (links at the top of my homepage).

Card front builder thinlits - Stampin Up

Image
When i first saw the 'Card Front Builder' thinlits die i must admit it didn't grab me straight away. I think i thought it looked like too much faff so i decided not to order it. Then i made that deadly mistake that most of us crafters do...i went on Pinterest!! Needless to say after spending half an hour (okay maybe 2 hours) browsing the cards made by some of my fellow demonstrators i was convinced i needed it too.  The design i have used was inspired by another Pinterest user 'Stamping Up North', I really liked the way they used the cut out trees to layer back onto the card so decided to make my own version. The background paper is from the 'Be Merry' designer series paper. I thought this particular sheet worked well with the 'Garden Green' and sprinkle of white looking like snow.  I ran a square of 'Whisper White' and the tree die though the big shot then used the cut out trees to mount over the top again but placed at differ

Blog Hop with the Simply Stylish Stampers!

Thank you for hopping over to my blog.  This is my first time joining in with a 'Blog Hop' and i'm delighted to be doing it with the other ladies from the 'Simply Stylish Stampers'. After being given a card making kit as a gift a few years back i found i really enjoyed creating projects. Later on i discovered Stampin Up and my love for papercraft has grown into what you might say is an obsession! My card today uses the fabulous NEW stamp set 'Wise Men From Afar' which is coming soon in the Autumn / Winter brochure. 'Star Of Light' and the coordinating thinlits dies also feature.  Taking a sheet of 'Night of Navy' cardstock i trimmed it down to 11 1/2 x 5 3/4. Then scored in half along the long side. 'Whisper White' cardstock measuring 5 x 5 inches. To create the night sky effect i used a combination of blue inks - 'Night of Navy', 'Tempting Turquoise' and 'Pacific Point'. You of cour
