All geared Up with Stampin Up's NEW stamp set

I'm always happy to see NEW Stampin Up products geared (see what i did there?) towards our male friends and family. They are the card designs i struggle with the most.

This coordinating 'Classic Garage' dsp, 'Geared Up Garage' stamp set and 'Garage Gears' thinlits dies make it nice and easy to create great cards with minimum effort or fuss.

I took a piece of  'Basic Grey' cardstock and using black ink i stamped some random oily splodges.
A strip of the dsp was adhered across the middle of the card ready for the flashy red car to be added. 
I stamped the car image first then coloured in using 'Real Red' and 'Smoky Slate' markers. 
The matching dies made cutting out the car image super simple with a quick run through the 'Big Shot' 


A simple card that could be adapted using different markers for the car, why not step it up and add some cogs / wheels cut using the thinlits too and add them scattered around the dsp?

If you would like to order any Stampin Up products i'd be delighted if you would shop with me.

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
