SPECIAL CARDS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST!

in , , , , , , , , , , , by Stacey Marsh Independent UK Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrator, January 06, 2019
Hi all,

I hope you have all had a great weekend! It’s been lots of fun here in Kent with a special 70th Birthday celebration for one of my team members and of course a very special card was needed! 

I put this card together a few weeks ago and actually I am really pleased with it which makes a change for me. Usually I think “oh that’s not good enough” but not this time! I took a while to consider what I wanted to create and although I made it up as I went along it has come out just as I had hoped.  


As I wanted to create a very special card, I had browsed Pinterest for a different style of fold and I came across a design by my wonderful Upline, Michelle Last and a creation that she put together some time ago so thank you for the inspiration Michelle! (Click HERE to view the original fold design) 

My card here  measures 5.5” square and is made up of two pieces of card folded and attached to reveal a special fold inside! (Scroll down) 


I have used the new flower images from the new Tea Together Cling Mount Stamp Set which features in the Spring/Summer catalogue that is available until the end of May 2019.  

I have chosen to use Old Olive as the main colour along with Gold, Grey and Black which I think looks really elegant against the white background, along with a lot of techniques throughout the design.  


It’s always nice to add something a bit extra to cards and the writing page on this is one of my favourite parts. The flowers look really pretty in the grey and the font on the sentiment makes me wish I could change my handwriting!

OCTOBER CARD CLASS - WINTER CHEER WITH A FANCY FOLD

in , , , , , , , , , , by Stacey Marsh Independent UK Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrator, October 18, 2018
Hi all,

Hope you're all have a good week.  Here is the final card that we made at my monthly card class featuring the Spirited Snowmen.

Starting with a standard size and folded card, I decorated the front with a strip of Shaded Spruce Cardstock, a square of Merry Merlot Glimmer Paper, and a snowman that has been coloured in and raised with Stampin' Dimensionals.  For added decoration I have added a few shapes of cardstock and glimmer paper that have been cut from the Sprigg Punch and a little sentiment.  Nice and simple...because the fun is all on the inside of this card!


On the inside of this card is a fancy fold with more snowmen!  To create this feature, I have cut a strip of Shaded Spruce Cardstock, scored at 14.9cm (the middle) and 7.4cm from either end to give you the 4 sections.  Attach the strip to the card base by sticking the far left and right sections so that the middle point sticks out.


Each square has been decorated with a selection of images from the two stamp sets that we used, and it gives a great surprise for the recipient!


Thanks so much for reading, it's great to be able to share these cards with you.  If you are local and fancy giving a card class a go then my next one is on the 20th November and will feature some 3D papercrafting as well.  Booking is essential.

PRODUCTS USED:
- Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Very Vanilla Cardstock
- Merry Merlot Glimmer Paper (From the Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper Pack)
- Spirited Snowmen Stamp Set
- Timeless Tidings Stamp Set
- Sprigg Punch
- 1, 3/8" Circle Punch
 - Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad
- Shaded Spruce and Smoky Slate Classic Stampin' Pads
- Stampin' Blends in Basic Black, Shaded Spruce, Real Red, Bronze and Pumpkin Pie
- Stampin' Dimensionals

Do you have a favourite of the 3 cards?  I always enjoy reading your comments :-)

FANCY FOLD FRIDAY #FFF6, SQUARE SURPRISE INSIDE DIAMOND FOLD CARD

in , , , , , , , , , by Stacey Marsh Independent UK Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrator, May 25, 2018
Hi all,

Friday is here at last and I couldn't be happier as next week is half term for me and my girls!  On top of that our conservatory is being delivered this weekend and it's bank holiday weekend, hooray!

This week at Fancy Fold Friday it is a square card with a surprise diamond fold inside.



Not only is this card really fun, it also features the new in-colour DSP range in Lovely Lipstick.  These new colours are so bright and the new ink formula is really nice to use.  If you love our current ink pads then you really will love the new ones so much more!  

The in-colour 6" x 6"x DSP stack gives you 4 different patterns in each of the 5 colours and will be available to order from June 1st.  

For this card, I have used the Balloon Celebration Stamp Set that will be carrying over into the new annual catalogue, with the coordianting Balloon Bouquet Punch.  The sentiment at the bottom comes from the Birthday Wishes For You Stamp Set and has been stamped in Lovely Lipstick to match.  



For the front of the card, I have used a few strips of DSP and the Birthday Wishes For You Stamp Set.  I have coloured the image in using the Lovely Lipstick marker.  



Have a great bank holiday weekend everyone!

FANCY FOLD FRIDAY WITH TRANQUIL TULIPS

in , , , , , , , by Stacey Marsh Independent UK Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrator, March 09, 2018
Hi all, 

Finally it's Friday hooray!  It has been a rough week in the manor with a poorly baby but finally she is getting back to her happy self so double hooray!

Fancy Fold Friday is a feature that I used to do on my Facebook Page many moons ago and I'm bringing it back!

I always enjoy making cards that aren't the standard folded way and it's a great way to make a special card or surprise someone and this card does the trick perfectly!

The base of this card is 8" x 8", folded across the diagonal, and then at 4" on either side so really simple and quick to put together!  

I have used the Hostess Stamp Set called Tranquil Tulips which is a 2-step stamp set which I have stamped in Rich Razzleberry Ink across the Fresh Fig cardstock, and on squares of Whisper White Cardstock for the front, insides and reverse of the card. 

This card folds down into a 4" square, and I have secured with a removable belly band.

What do you think?

Have a great weekend everyone!

FANCY FOLD ON THE INSIDE!

in , , , , , , , by Stacey Marsh Independent UK Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrator, February 28, 2018
Hi all,

Following on from my last 2 posts, here is another of the cards from a recent training event, this one also using the Petal Palette Stamp Set.  

This card uses a plain card base in Old Olive and monochrome stamping which is always a favourite of mine. The original card we were shown was coloured in however I chose to leave this black and white as I love the monochrome look.

However...this card is not as straightforward as it looks....


I love putting cards together that have a different type of fold, especially if it comes as a surprise to the recipient so this card was right up my street! 


Again, I have stamped the envelope which is another favourite technique of mine...!
