Pop Of Paradise stamp set - Stampin Up

Often i walk into my craft room wanting to make a project but after spending time choosing my papers or the stamp set i want to use i come to a complete block as to what to make with them.
The Stampin Up catalogue is not only full of amazing products, it's full of inspiration too.

The idea for this card came when browsing the catalogue, they have used the 'Pop of Paradise' stamp set to create a cute box (page 43 in the annual catalogue) so i tweaked it slightly and turned it into a card.

Do you know i think it's the first time i have used 'So Saffron' cardstock that i can remember! I used the same colour ink and randomly stamped pineapples all over the cardstock. 
Next onto some scrap 'Whisper White' i stamped 3 leaves in 'Pear Pizzazz', a flamingo in 'Flirty Flamingo', and the 'Hello' in 'Marina Mist'. Each of these was then fussy cut using some scissors apart from the 'Hello' which i used a circle punch for. 

The gold sequin trim and the cut images are then layered around each other, glue dots help keep the sequin trim in place and dimensionals gave depth on some of the images so it wasn't too flat to look at. 


I really like having the different textures and layers to make a card more interesting.

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
