This little piggy - Stampin Up

Would you dare send a card to someone that says 'OINK' on it? I love pigs, since i was about 9 yrs old i've thought that they would make the cutest pet. I haven't managed to convince my family of that yet though!

This 'Little Piggy' stamp set from Stampin Up is super cute. 

Taking a card blank in 'Whisper White' measuring 6x6 inches when folded i then added some dsp from the 'Whole lot of lovely' papers.  I tied ribbon in 'Powder Pink' around the dsp before gluing it to the card blank. 

Using a smaller piece of 'Whisper White' card i stamped the cute flying pig in 'Powder pink' then using my aqua brush dragged the colour to fill in the pigs body. Clouds are stamped randomly in 'Soft Sky' ink.

Once dry i took the 'large letter framelit' dies and lined up the letters OINK before running it through the 'Big Shot'. These letters are then removed but put back in the same place raised on dimensionals to help the letters stand out. 

A 'Powder Pink' cardstock backing is added to give a small border before adhering this to the card. 


I'm not sure if or who i would send this card to, i might keep it for myself in my craftroom just because i love the little pigs happy face. 

If you would like to order any Stampin Up products you can do so in my online shop 24/7 HERE

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
