Happiest of Days card from Stampin’ Up!

When I saw this stamp set in the new annual catalogue I thought it was so whimsical and I loved that, so of course it got added to my list of ‘must haves’.

As well as the cake I’ve used on these cards there’s also some presents that I’m keen to use, and a sprig of leaves which is lovely too. It’s the kind of stamp set that you could easily miss in the catalogue, but is actually very useful once you have it.

I made another card the same but different:

I used the Layered Leaves dynamic textured embossing folder on the pink card – I’ve been using it a lot. It has different layers to it which make it look great.

I also used one of the roses from the set on the pink card and fussy cut it to add it to the cake.

This is what Stampin’ Up! did with the same stamp set :

So, in my last post I said I’d be using a stamp set I loved as soon as I saw it in the catalogue, and here it is. More Than Chocolate – love it! I knew I had to have it.

Here I’ve used the heart shape that comes in the set, and die cut it using the Sweet and Sassy Framelits, then filled it with chocolates! How yummy.

There are wrappers, chocolates, and accents for each chocolate which gives lots of options. I used my markers to fill in some of the icing which really made a difference.

Behind the chocolates I’ve put another die cut heart to act as a lid and used the lovely new Layered Leaves dynamic textuted embossing folder to add some interest.

Stampin’ Up! also added a half eaten chocolate which I added to the card – what a great idea (Stampin’ Up!, not me).

The background is from the Wood Textured paperstack, and the sentiment from the new Happy Birthday Gorgeous set.

Oh So Eclectic cards from Stampin’ Up!

 

 

Stampin' Up! Oh So Eclectic cards

 

When I first saw the Oh So Eclectic set and bundle in the new cataglogue, I thought it was OK, but there were other things I liked more. Then I began to see other demos’ examples and thought I might have to have it after all.

I’m so glad I bought the bundle – 10% discount if you buy the stamp set and thinlits together – I love it! Not just the stamp set, but the thinlits too. There are three thinlits in the dies that emboss rather than cutting which is new for Stampin’ Up! I haven’t used those thinlits yet, but I will do in the near future.

 

For these cards I used the flowers and leaves, and the geometric die behind which I put some of the fabulous Wood Textures paper stack. I like that the flowers are not precise, they don’t fit and layer precisely which is great.

I’ve used Peekaboo Peach, Dapper Denim, Old Olive and Berry Burst inks which really make the cards pop.

Stampin’ Up! have a video showing how to make good use of the bundle:

By contrast the next post from me has a stamp set that I loved as soon as I saw it – the whimsical nature of it appealed to me.

Here’s what I used to create these cards:
