Pretty in pink


Hi guys.   Lisa, your local Stampin Up uk demonstrator here.

How are you all today.

I'm super super excited, there are some amazing joining offers and shopping offers launching next week.  I am just so excited, and I can't wait to welcome new members to my ever growing team/club members. 

Want to know more, then check back on the 1st for all the info.  

Anyway today's card is a conditioned card for my Mil's friend Lorna.  

She lurves pink.  The pinker the better.  And my mil, loves the peacock stamp.  So I've combined them again.



I've heat embossed the peacock in white, having used my embossing buddy first.  

I also heat embossed the sentiment, before punching out.  


I finished this of with some basic jewels randomly dotted everywhere.

I hope you like this one.

I'm off having a girlie weekend with friends, and look forward to sharing another pink creation with you tomorrow.

Have a great day.

P.s.  Don't forget you can order 24/7 from my online shop by clicking the shop with me button.  Thanks to all my customers who do and who use the hostess code.  Your custom is always much appreciated.

Elegant Eggplant meets Stampin Up UK's gorgeous peacock


Hi Crunchie Crafts Fans.  Lisa here, you local Stampin UP Uk independent demonstrator.

In today's Post:


  • Elegant Eggplant Peacocks
  • Free Good Greetings
  • Birthday Celebrations give aways continue

 Elegant Eggplant Peacocks

Hi everyone.  I hope that you all had a great day yesterday.

I had an amazing day and got a secret project finally finished.  What is it?  Well, sorry folks I can't tell you yet, but keep popping back.  I will be adding some sneaky peaks and after the 26th of September I will be able to reveal it completely to you.  I am so happy with it, and so immensely thrilled that I want to shout about it from the roof tops, but I have to keep quiet.  Its so hard.

Anyway today's make was for a friend's Mum.  She is not a fussy person and likes things simple, so I choose a simple matt and layer design card.

The colour is a lovely deep purple.  A really rick opulent colour and I love it.  The Stamp is Perfect Peacock from Stampin Up Uk.

I stamped the image in Versamark, and then heat embossed with White Embossing powders


Then I got out my Blendabilities - this time the Wisteria Wonder set


And I spend a bit of time colouring all the pearls and diamonds to match the card


Before stamping and embossing the sentiment - which is from the Bloom with Hope set.
I punched this out with the Word Window Punch and Modern Label Punches.

The card is an A5 size card.  It really is lovely and I have several commissions using this lovely stamp set.

If you would like to commission a card, notebook, gift wrapping or 3d project I would love to hear from you.

Eleanor feels the heat - Stampin UP style

CRUNCHIE CRAFTS - Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator

IN TODAY'S POST

  • everything eleanor feels the heat
  • Two weeks of celebrations starts today
  • Good Greetings to you


Everything Eleanor Feels the Heat

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your lovely kind comments about my bag and cards yesterday.  It means so much.

Today's card was a bit of a rush job, my lovely friend Meg had a knee replacement and has been very down since, so I decided a bit of cheering up was in order.

I also have some new stamps that I was just dying to ink up .........

Everything Eleanor and I love lace background stamp.  Initially I didn't want either of these stamps.  But they have grown on me and now I love them and couldn't wait to use them.




I stamped the I love lace stamp with versamark and heat embossed with Pool Party.    I then matted and layered crushed curry and old olive card stock.  The lovely flourish is from Everything Eleanor and this was again heat embossed with crushed curry.  The flowers were heat embossed in Pool Party.





Again, this is a colour combination that I found using my Colour Coach.  So an amazing tool. I love it.

These are the products that I used.  Just click any of them and you will be taken to the shop.

One Card, three techniques ......

Hi everyone

In todays post


  • One card, three techniques

Do you remember the lovely Zentangle technique which I shared with you earlier in the week?   
(If you missed it you can click above and you will be taken to the post)

I loved the doodling on this technique but wanted to add a bit more ........ so how about some paper tearing, and some heat embossing.  Yep all three on one card.

The card base for this one is an A5 base which is very popular in the UK.

I have used the lovely blended Bloom Stamp set. 


Firstly I stamped the image in versamark and then heat embossed with clear power.

Then I stamped the image on very vanilla and got down to some doodling,


love the way the flower came out.  It had to be fuzzy cut, as there is no punch for this one.


next I stamped the image on very vanilla several times on only coloured in tiny bits.


Before tearing the card stock to the shape I really wanted.

I finished off the inside with the stamp again in Momento ink.

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and is stamped onto the small oval and layered onto the large oval punch.  I have edged the layers with my Stamp N Write Marker in basic black.

To finish I added three of the flowers from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack 2014 which have been sponged in basic black and then finished with pearls in the centre.

Have a great day and I hope you find some time to get creative.  Don't forget I would love to see what you make, so why not leave a comment in the box with a link to your projects inspired by this.


Hugs

So long farewell, # Stampin UP Retiring Products



Morning, 

I can't believe we are nearly half way through the month.  Sadly that means there is only about two weeks to go before the retiring list closes and these products are no longer available.

Which stamp set am I going to miss the most........

Probably En Francais

I love this stamp.  Its a brilliant background stamp and I know that in the wood mount version it is already sold out. 
Here's a card I made for my baby brother a while back using this stamp set.  

I have used Pool Party and basic black.  I heat embossed the Beautifully Baroque Stamp Set in Black embossing power.  

The sentiment was cut using the Banners framelits and the sentiment if from Petite Pairs.

Stampin Up

Hi everyone.

I hope that your weather is as fantastic as ours has been.  It has been really difficult to be inside crafting, and not outside in the sun......... which is where I am going in a minute.

I have been considering becoming a Hobby Demonstrator for Stampin Up for a while.  An have finally taken the plunge ........  this is so that I can get great discount on amazing products which I love to use in my crafting.  (They are not available through any retailers)

I have been making lots of memory books recently, and love playing with different mediums to try and embellish them and make them gorgeous.

I have been making this one for a bit.  Here's the photos.  All the bits and bobs and papers, stamps, inks, etc are from Stampin Up.
