World Spectacular !!!!!!!

Well not quite … but I did make these two layouts using the NEW fantastically lush, World Spectacular designer papers that are in the Annual Catalogue …

I also used the stamp set Affection Collection.  I like to get my moneys worth out of the stamps that I buy, and I always try and think of scrapbooking projects AND card projects that they can be used for, before committing to the purchase.  I like to get value for money, and in this day and age – who doesn’t !!  The same goes for the papers, I have to be able to use them for ALL projects, and thats the great thing about Stampin Up! papers – they’re double-sided, so you get all the benefits of double the papers !

These layouts are based on a couple of the classes from the UKS CYBERCROP that is currently running, and will be running until next week – so if you haven’t signed up yet – you MUST do – the classes and challenges are truly stunning, and there’s lots more to come !  Click on the link HERE and sign up ……

Patchwork Layout and Instructions

Instructions:-

This layout was made using lots of different patterned paper cut into  2.5” x 2.5” squares and then cut diagonally into triangles. 

I then found the centre point of the layout, and measured a 5”x5” square in the middle. 

I then lay out all the triangles around the square until I was happy.

I adhered the photograph into the middle blank square, and then adhered four triangles OVER the photograph using foam pads/dimensionals.  This adds dimension to the layout.

NOTE:  I inked all the triangles, and faux stitched some of them before adhering to the layout

I then distressed the edges of the layout MY way

Add embellishments as you want

Voila !

The photograph is hidden under the patchwork triangles by using dimensionals to add some depth to the layout.

Loving & Hating

I was awarded this stamp set (Make a Cake) earlier on in the year for recruiting to my team (another perk of becoming a Demo), and I truly hated it when I got it.  I know hate is a strong word, but I really couldn’t see me using it, and thought that it would be fiddly and faffy.  However, how wrong could I be.  Having had a nosy at splitcoaststampers and pinterest, I came across some amazingly creative ideas using this stamp set, and that is when our romance began ……

I truly love this stamp set now – honestly … it is beyond pretty.  It is beyond easy to create amazing projects using it, and lastly, it is beyond quick to knock up a last-minute card – whatever the occasion !

The card below also use the new In-Colours for 2012-2014, Itty Bitty Banners stamp set (and matching die set), together with the truly adaptable Patio Party papers – a firm favourite already with me (see the brown envelope mini album on my last post).

 

Well, I hope you will love the cards (and tag) that I have made, and will consider purchsing this amazing stamp set and accessories. 

THINKING OF BECOMING A DEMO or WANT TO EARN EXTRA CASH?  If you’re looking to earn extra cash for Xmas or just need that extra cash for a holiday or extension on your house this is the job for you. Part time, flexible hours to suit you and your family !  Monthly pay, lots of incentives and extras – particularly at the moment, as you can earn a FREE pack of designer papers EVERY MONTH FOR 6 MONTHS at the moment, if you sign up to become a Demonstrator.  Also – the starter kit is now only £99 and you can choose whatever you want for your kit.  There’s no other business alive, that you can start up for only £99, and have access to thousands of pounds worth of products !

I am the first Demonstrator in the UK to achieve the Rising Star status, and I have a successful track record of running a hugely successful team of Demonstrators.  I am recruiting in all areas, and now has never been a better time to sign up.  This is a fantastic opportunity to build a great business x x

Its a Brown Envelope Day !

It certainly IS something to smile about

This mini album for a certain persons upcoming 50th Birthday, has been made using brown envelopes and the following:-

The fabby Patio Party designer papers from Stampin Up! together with the NEW In-Colour cardstock (in every colour),  Everything Eleanor stamp set and the Betsy’s Blossoms stamp set.  Can you see all that gorgeous glitter (I moved my arm over the cover, and covered everything), is the new glue glitter from Stampin Up! and comes in silver and red.  The silver looks like a shimmery white on different papers and cardstock, and has become a firm favourite.

I just adore the brightness and patterns on these papers, and the NEW In-Colour cardstock helped to make the album up in next to no time !
