Surprise!!

Today I have a video tutorial showing how to make these cute

surprise pop up gift boxes!

I made two, one for each of my youngest grandsons.

For these boxes I have used:

Tutti frutti dsp

Pineapple Punch DSP

Pacific Point card

Pool Party card

Stamp set is Tabs for Everything

Inks - Real Red and Night of Navy

Punches - 1 1/2" Circle punch and 1 3/8" scallop circle punch

You can catch the video below.

I would love you to subscribe to my channel if you like what you see.

After I made the video I wasn't happy with the glue dots

which seems to not be able to hold the weight of the chocolate

so here is a fix which worked perfectly.

Just cut a small strip, glue either end and adhere with wet glue.

It has stayed perfectly!!

I made this card using the gorgeous bundle from the brand new catalogue called

VARIED VASES BUNDLE

You get a large variety of stamps and this fabulous punch!

I love punches, so quick and easy and you can punch away at your desk.

I used Tutti Frutti DSP which is sadly gone now.

I stamped using Grapefruit Grove, Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist ink pads

I coloured the flowers using Stampin' Write pens and blender pen.

I even coloured my white ribbon using the Lemon Lime Twist ink  pad

I stamped the vases out a few times so I could 3d them with dimensionals.

I finished the card with Happy Birthday and my daughter-in-law's name.

Happy Birthday Rachel!!

You've got a friend in me!

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing a sweet little card I made for a friend.

I have used two stamp sets and a bit of masking.

The stamp sets are called

Bella and Friends & Pretty Kitty

They are jam packed full of the cutest images and sentiments.

I stamped using memento ink and coloured with promarkers

and stampin write pens.

The striped paper is from the Tutti Frutti dsp

and I teamed it up with some Pool Party card.

I also added a tiny little bow made from some linen thread

I finished the inside off with one of the sentiment stamps and the little bird again.

Thank You card

I have a Thank You card to share with you all today.

I got this fabulous stamp set last week,

and you can get it too when you earn enough Stampin' Up! points

by hosting a party!

I was super excited to get this set. It's called

Hand Delivered

and is not actually available to buy, it's just for Hostesses!!

I teamed it up with some of my lovely 6 x 6" Tutti Frutti DSP

I also used the Tabs for Everything stamp set,

all stamped with the new Grapefruit Grove ink pad.

The boy on the left is actually the skirt stamp which I turned into trousers,

and I have cropped the feet off both images too.

The image has been stamped onto a whisper white card circle then

coloured using promarkers.

I embellished it by punching some little flowers and adding gems and organza ribbon.

The ends of the sentiment have been punched using the

Tailored tag Punch

I used Real Red card from the Brights collection, Dimensionals

The measurements needed:

Friendship is a ...........

I finally got the courage to delve into this beautiful stamp set called

Sheltering Tree

I was always afraid of it as it looked so arty and way above my capabilities

but it was one of the most enjoyable sets to work with!

Just look how many stamps you get in this set!!

It made stamping such a joy with the ground stamps, flower stems, tree and separate

types of flowers to add.

I can imagine using this for lots of occasions from birthday celebrations,

family tree additions to sympathy etc.

With the separate tree and leaves/flowers it will be so easy to touch all

four seasons.

So for my card today I used:

Red Card from the Tutti Frutti card set

Patterned papers are from the Tutti Frutti 6x6'' DSP

Inks - Lemon Lime Twist, Real Red, Daffodil Delight & Basic Grey

Embellishments - red ribbon, red bows, punched heart

I chopped the sentiment apart and layered in red.

I added some highlight with a white gel pen

I am really happy with my card and will definitely be coming back for more!
