Bundle of Love with 'Swirly Bird' - Stampin Up

If you happened to be following my blog before Christmas you may have seen the cute 3 fold cards i made with 'JOY' on them. I loved how they turned out and they didn't take too long to make either.
It's a bit early (even for me) to start making Christmas cards for this year so i decided to use the same design but for a new baby card.

The 'Bundle Of Love' papers are just so beautiful, i love the patterns and tones. 
I chose pieces of paper that had the same pattern but in different colours, two in 'Soft Sky' and one in the lovely gold.

'Soft Sky' cardstock has been folded into the 3 sections and the dsp cut slightly smaller adhered to each part. 

'Large Letter' framelits are used to create 'BOY' also in 'Soft Sky' These are mounted to the card on dimensionals so they really stand out.

Next i took the 'Swirly Bird' stamp set. Both the kite and boat are stamped in 'Soft Sky' and 'Smoky Slate' inks, cut out and also mounted to the card with dimensionals. 


I'm thrilled with the finished card and i know i'm going to be making more of these very soon.

Card front builder thinlits - Stampin Up

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
