STACEY MARSH

Hello and welcome to the first Stampers Showcase Blog Hop for 2020! Today's theme is "All You Need is Love" and i'm excited to be hopping with such a talented group of Demonstrators.

If you are following today's hop, a very warm welcome to you here in the UK!

Love is a great reason to send a card, it doesn't have to be mushy, or for Valentine's Day and i's wonderful to show someone that you are thinking of them.

For my project that I am sharing with you today, I have used the Meant to Be Stamp Set with the Stitched Be Mine Dies.

To create my card, I have cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to measure 8.5cm x 14.9cm. I have used a Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin' Pad to stamp the heart image in rows across

The black scallop piece has been die cut from the edgelit die within the Stitched Be Mine Dies which has then been attached to the left-hand side of hearts and then attached altogether to a standard C6 card base cut from Balmy Blue A4 Cardstock.

The large heart has been die-cut from a piece of Lovely Lipstick Cardstock and attached to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I have heat-embossed the sentiment onto Basic Black cardstock with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and I have torn either end of the banner before attaching.

To finish, I have added 3 pink sequins from the Iridescent Sequins using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Thankyou for hopping along with us today, I hope my card inspires you. You can continue along the hop by clicking onto the next name below...

Have a great day!

Hello and welcome to the start of a new week! I had a lovely weekend and even managed a spot of crafting!

Today I am sharing with you the card design to make at my regular Coffee and Card session held at The Pantry in Chatham, Kent using the new Painted Poppies Stamp Set.

I try to keep my Coffee and Card designs fairly simple with only using a handful of items as it's a great way to show people how simple it is to make a pretty card, and that's what I have done with this card.

I have used a strip of the FREE Golden Honey Designer Series Paper to layer onto the front of a standard C6 card base cut from Thick A4 Whisper White Cardstock. The DSP measures 5cm x 14.9cm.

I have added a smaller strip of Basic Black Cardstock so that it overlaps on the right hand side. and cut a circle of Crushed Curry Cardstock using the 2.5" Circle Punch (now retired) and attached using Stampin' Dimensionals. Onto the white space, I have stamped the small splatter image using a Cruched Curry Classic Stampin' Pad.

Onto another piece of Whisper White Cardstock I have used a Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad to stamp the sentiment, poppies, leaves and 'Happy Birthday', leaving plenty of room to cut around.
For the sentiment, I have cut it out using the Everyday Label Punch.

For the poppies, I have used the in-fill stamp to stamp over the poppy outline using a Crushed Curry Classic Stampin' Pad and trimmed around.

Once I have cut everything out, I have layered onto the card front!

If you would like to make this card, I will be at The Pantry in Chatham, Kent from 10.00-11.30am this morning. The cost is £5 to take part and includes your first hot drink plus all materials and step-by-step tuition. Parking is free and no previous card making experience is required.
