'Wheely' Great Cards!

Well, I don't know what's happened to the weather! It was glorious here in Cornwall for a few days, but today it's really overcast and miserable.

Anyway, here are some cards that I've made using sets that are on special offer this month.

I'll post the details for each of them separately, over the next few days.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Cheers!

This card combines several stamp sets - Cheers To You (111037), Sanded (109294) and Seeing Spots (107007).

I used a VersaMark inkpad to stamp the background pattern on the Basic Black panel, which you can just about see in the photo, but which catches the light in real life.
Using marker pens and a blender pen, I coloured in the tankard of beer and added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to look like condensation on the side of the glass.
The image was then mounted onto a piece of Basic Black card cut out using the Round Tab Punch (109974). The Perfect Plum panel has a pricked pattern in the corners but, again, you can't see it very clearly in the photo.

This would be a good card for beer drinkers, but there are also some lovely stamps of cocktail glasses, making it a good set for celebrations of all kinds!

Stamps: Cheers To You, Sanded & Seeing Spots
Paper: Basic Black, Perfect Plum & Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Perfect Plum, VersaMark & More Mustard & Bordering Blue Marker Pens
Accessories: Crafter's Toolkit, Snail Adhesive, Scallop, Round Tab, 1 3/8” & 1/8” Circle Punches, Black Gingham Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Blender Pen & Dimensionals

Happy

This card combines two stamp sets, Polka Dots And Paisley (108549) and Seeing Spots (107007).

I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the word ‘happy’ correctly positioned. The paisley accents and the background circles were made by inking the parts of the stamps that I wanted, using matching Marker Pens. You just 'huff' on the stamp after using the markers and then stamp as usual. The daisy accent was stamped, punched out and lifted on dimensionals.

I used the Paper Piercing Template, Pad and Tool from the Crafter's Tool Kit (110089) to mark the places to punch the holes along the Lavender Lace card stock.

Stamps: Polka Dots And Paisley & Seeing Spots
Paper: Mellow Moss, Whisper White, Blush Blossom & Lavender Lace
Ink: Mellow Moss, Blush Blossom Inkpad & Marker & Lavender Lace Inkpad & Marker
Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Snail Adhesive, Crafter’s Tool Kit, 1/8” & 1” Circle Punches & Dimensionals

Never-Ending Joy

This is a quick Birthday card using the Never-Ending Joy set, (105038).
As the weather has been so bad, I decided to use the pretty Spring colours of Apricot Appeal and Certainly Celery.

I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to accurately align the flower heads over the stems, to add the bow and the greeting from the Sincere Salutations set, (105156).

Stamps: Never-Ending Joy & Sincere Salutations

Paper: Very Vanilla, Apricot Appeal & Certainly Celery

Ink: Certainly Celery & Apricot Appeal

Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Snail Adhesive, Certainly Celery 1/4” Grosgrain Ribbon

Petals And Paisleys

This layout is my version of the one shown on page 51 of the catalogue.
I used the same pack of Petals and Paisleys Designer Series Paper (110093), but chose different papers from the set.
It looks quite different doesn’t it?

It’s a 6” layout, which I love doing as I’m fairly new to scrapbooking and the size doesn’t scare me nearly as much as a blank 12” sheet of paper does!

I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the word ‘happy’ correctly positioned.
The paisley accent and the letters for ‘Jack’ were lifted on dimensionals, but the layout still fits nicely in the 6" x 6" Linen Album (109901).

The stamp set and Designer Series Paper were designed to work together, giving you lots of options for use.

Stamps: Polka Dots And Paisley
Paper: Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Not Quite Navy & Petals And Paisleys Designer Series Paper
Ink: Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, So Saffron & Not Quite Navy Marker
Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Snail Adhesive, Linen Thread, Very Vanilla & Old Olive 5/8” Grosgrain Ribbon & Dimensionals

Heart Pockets

I met some lovely ladies down at Newlyn earlier this month. They are members of Just Scrapbooking, a club run by Linda Knight and held on the first Saturday of the month.
As part of a Stampin' Up! party, I showed the ladies how to make the Heart Pocket that I used on my Valentine card and they then incorporated it into their layouts with Linda in the afternoon.

These layouts in progress are lovely. I am always amazed at how one idea can develop in so many different directions!
That's the beauty of attending a class like this, where you can bounce ideas off one another.
