Stampin Up ! Calming Camellia Cling Stamps

 Hello everyone on this chilly Wednesday in the UK I'm most definitely feeling the cold right now and I'm trotting around in what hubby calls my wookie slippers (Big furry thing from Star Wars). 

Anyway I am just a few days late in posting this card from the recent Stampin Up Sale-A-Bration catalogue that finished on the last day of February but I just had to share this card. 

I got the idea from the amazing Jo Blackman another Stampin Up demo in the UK and she kindly shared with me how to get the white bits whiter. You can find Jo on Youtube videos.

This is my take on the card how beautiful is this stamp so sad that its not staying in the catalogues.

This beautiful Stamp set is a cling and has some amazing images Its classed as one of the distinctive stamps I can see why it's amazing.

                  Here's a close up so you can see the beautiful detail of the Camellia and the colouring.

And this is the sentiment I used from the same stamp set so classy don't you think 

I'm hoping to be able to do a Youtube video on making this style of card but at present I have laryngitis so I don't sound too great at the moment but watch this space.

Stampin Up! Grove Dies Diorama Card featuring New Horizons DSP

 I have to say that the  Stampin Up! "Grove Die" set which goes alongside the "Grassy Grove"cling stamp set was over looked by me in the first look through the January-June Mini Catalogue but I'm so glad I popped back in and placed another order which included this bundle after seeing other demo's featuring this amazing set.

I took inspiration from the catalogue and made my first card with several of the dies from the set.

I used the large stand alone Die from the bundle which gives this wonderful forest look effect. I also used a couple of the deers the tall mum looking back at her youngster probably saying stop dawdling lets get a move on.

This card is in the style of a double diorama and I learnt this from a fellow demo's Youtube video I must look up her name and add it here for you well worth a watch.

   You can see from the above image looking down through the centre that the front and back pieces of the card are joined at the sides which gives the impression of a picture frame. I love this and can see many more cards in this style coming int he future watch this space as they say.

I also used the New Horizon DSP just stunning images which allows you to make a very effective card in a very short space of time. I'm hoping all these items carry over from the mini into the next annual catalogue.

This is another card I made up at the same time with a different sheet from the DSP which is 6x6 but this time I didn't use the deer. It just draws the eyes off into the distance giving such a calming effect I thought.

Anyway I do hope you have enjoyed the diorama cards today I will be back shortly with a different fold card featuring this set.

 Thank you for stopping by my blog today I hope to be back again soon with yet more projects to share with you. As I say so many amazing products to show you.

If I can help in anyway with supplies, answer your questions or you would be interested in joining my team please click on any of the links at the top oft he blog and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
