Spring at Stamping Sensations

 

 

                      

Front view 

Side view.

And it folds flat!

It's time for our March challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

and this month the theme is

Stamp Something For Spring!

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so come and join us.

For my card today I have used a lovely new die set from

Card Making Magic called Flower Box & Card.

I have cut the base out using Soft Seafoam card,

layering it up with white and blushing bride card and some paper

from sunshine and rainbows paper pack (SU).

I then stamped the tulips, stems and leaves from

Timeless Tulips stamp set using soft seafoam,

fresh freesia, pale papaya, rococo rose and old olive ink pads.

Each piece has been cut and added to the card.

I die cut some butterflies from the Brilliant Wings dies (SU).

The sentiment is from Dressed to Impress stamp set (SU).

I made a little bunch of tulips to embellish the front

and added a little felt bow. Some wink of stella has been added

here and there for sparkle.

A perfect card for my Mother-in-law.

I hope you get time to come and join us and who

wouldn't want to win that fabulous prize!!

Pop Out Card

Sorry for the blurred photo, card is gone now so can't retake!

My final fun fold card for my customer was this one.

It's called a Pop Out Card

and it fold flat to fit a tall card size envelope.

I have used Nitwits papers and embellishments

to decorate.

This one was fun to make but again I had to make up my own

measurements to get it to this size.

A few people have asked if I am still doing Stampin' Up!

and the answer is I'm still officially a demonstrator

but I have cut back on all the crafting for it.

I felt a bit burned out and needed a break.

I have been with them for 4 years, and all along,

I was still doing personalised cards for my local customers.

It has taken it's toll so I decided to have a little break.

Stampin' Up! I can put to one side,

local customers orders I can't, so that's what I'm concentrating on.

My shop front has gone so if you want to order anything

through me you need to go directly to Stampin' Up! Uk site

and choose Pinky O'Hagan as your Demonstrator.

Balcony Card

This is one of my 5 shaped cards I made for a customer.

It's called a Balcony Card.

I came across a smaller version on YouTube so set about

scaling it up to suit a tall card size.

It's an easy enough card base to make,

it's the decorating of it that takes up the time lol.

I did need to pop it into an 8"x 8" envelope when folded flat.

The papers I have used are from Nitwits called

Lovin Life!

It's a gorgeous set with lovely spring colours

and great sentiments.

I used Flourishing Fern dies and Brilliant Wings dies

from Stampin' Up!

to add to the decoration.

Timeless Tulips for Mother's Day

My VIP video today shows how to make

this CAS Mother's Day card.

I have used

Timeless Tulips stamp set

using Magenta Madness, Bumblebee and

Granny Apple Green ink pads.

The base card is in Magenta Madness

and I have stamped the sentiment

and punched out using the punch from

Oval Occasions Bundle.

It is one cold day today and snow has been forecast!

We do have sunshine at the minute

but still freezing.

I had one of my lovely customers contact me

to say her and her daughter both have Covid

and are feeling really ill.

It's still so scary! This lady has had her first injection already

and still got it really bad!

Be safe everyone!

 

 

Dressed to impress for Mother's Day

This is another commissioned

Mother's day Card.

I went all pinks and lots of embossing for this one.

The stamp set is called

Dressed to Impress

and it certainly owes me nothing

as I have definitely made my money back on it!

Love this set.

I embossed and inked up the first layer.

Added a layer of melon mambo card,

another embossed layer

and then I cut out the Ornate layer frame

and used the stitched rectangle dies

to cut out the centre of it.

I stamped out loads of the flowers,

the perfume bottle and shoes.

Coloured them with blends

(melon mambo, granny apple green)

and added to the frame.

I stamped the heart from

Meant to Be stamp set

and added the Mummy

stamped using Make a Difference.

Took me a while this one

but just sat listening to some nice music

and enjoyed the moment 😁

Quite Curvy Mother's Day

Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

We had rain all day Saturday so we spent

it painting again then I watched a movie with my daughter

to relax 😁

My card today is another commission for

Mother's Day.

I used one of my retired embossing folders for the base

then ran a sheet of the Oh So Ombre (free) papers

through with my Pinewood Planks embossing folder.

The flower image is a pre printed one from LOTV

which I framed using the Quite Curvy stamps and dies.

They were coloured with blends

(rococo rose and granny apple green).

The sentiment is from

Strong and Beautiful stamp set

and the Granny was stamped using

Make A Difference stamp set.

I decorated with some ribbon and pearls.

Ornate style for Mother's Day

Working on my CAS cards

I followed a colour challenge over at

CAS Colours & Sketches

The stamp set is called Ornate Style

and I just used part of the stamp.

I have coloured the flowers using the ink pads

and my wink of stella brush.

I used Melon Mambo card and ink,

bumblebee ink and old olive ink.

The lightly pink flowers are just a

watered down Melon Mambo.

The sentiment is from Strong & Beautiful,

stamped in melon mambo ink.

Very easy and very enjoyable to colour in,

thought I think I do a better job with my blends 😂

I nipped in to Lidl on Saturday to get a few items for my son

who is self isolating at the minute.

OMG I could hardly get moving!!

Peoples trolleys where filled to the brim with who knows what!

I couldn't wait to get out of the place!

Be careful out there people and look after your neighbours and family.
