Flowers Flowers and not a piece of card in sight

Morning everyone, Lisa here, your local Stampin UP UK Independent Demonstrator.

In today's post

• Flowers, flowers and yet more flowers, but no card in sight
• Birthday celebration give aways
• free good greetings

HI guys, today I wanted to share something new that I have started doing.  My Mum, bless her, bought me a flower arranging course for my birthday.  How cool is that.  There is a great shop in Taunton called Eden and they run amazing floristry courses.  So I have a four week course.  I am hoping that you won't mind if I share my other creative side with your once a week.

So here's what we started with - a bucket of flowers

lots of lovely inspiring colours in this bucket.  Three Roses, three gerbra, ivy, lilies and some other foliage.

  

Don't they look fab.  Above are views from above and the side of the arrangement.  They are very proudly placed on my dining room table.  I even managed to create an extra little ribbon and raffia bow to adorn my design.  

Thanks Jane and everyone it was a great afternoon.

Elegant Eggplant meets Stampin Up UK's gorgeous peacock

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

 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.

Hello Honey and Stampin UP Blendabilities

Hi everyone.  Have you had a chance to play with your craft goodies from Stamin UP! yet? 

In today's post:

• Hello Honey and Stampin Up Blendabilities
• Two weeks of celebrations
• Weekly Deals
• Feel Good Greetings

Hello Honey and Stampin Up Blendabilities

Today are the last two cards I made in the set I showed you yesterday.  I love the world of dreams set, and really enjoyed creating the backgrounds.  But as with yesterday I wanted to finish each card differently.  Here's a link to yesterday's post

So today I used ribbon on my cards and also some Vintage Clear Buttons.  Can you see them.

Ooops, sorry they are not clear anymore.  I have coloured them with the darkest shade in the Daffodil Delight Blendabilities range.  It is so close to Hello Honey that it blends perfectly. And because they are alcohol ink, they dry perfectly.  What do you think?

Lastly on this one, I used Melon Mambo DSP and finished off with some of our new cotton ribbon.  So cute. 

Anyway hope you have loved these cards.  Would love to see your creations using this background technique.
