Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Male Card

Published on August 10, 2023August 10, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I have an easy, clean & simple male’s card to share with you today. Change out the colours & it can also be for the females. They layout has been taken from one of my Create Weekly Sketch Layouts.

As I was cleaning up the other day, my hand went onto the Sending Smiles Stamp Set & thought “could I create a male’s card with this set?” So I challenged myself to try & create one for Father’s Day. I like to really look at my stash to try & use them in multiple ways. Give it a try!

Wonder, what Robbie has created today. Be sure to pop on over to check out her project today.

I love colouring our solid images with our gorgeous Stampin’ Blends. Have you tried it? You will be amazed at the result & how different they look once completed.

I will often combine the Blends & our Watercolour Pencils too. Although this time, I added a little more depth by colouring around the iages to make them look like they are floating on the card. I think it worked but you be the judge!

Today sees the start of Week 3 showcasing Card Candy for our projects. To tell you the truth, I didn’t think I would get this far lol.

For the whole week my Focus will be the Zany Zoo Stamp Set, along with the coordinating Zany Zoo Dies & Zoo Crew DSP. Stay tuned throughout the week to see what I come up with.

Throughout the month of May, Robbie & myself have been sharing Card Candy with you on our YouTube Channels. We are then posting our projects to our blogs with a link to each other. Check out to see what Robbie has created.

I’ve gone with a Black & White theme today with just hints of colour by colouring the ballonns & the Racoon’s mask with Watercolour Pencils.

To highlight the colouring & to blend the colour a little more, I applied Clear Wink of Stella to the colouring.

To complete the card, I adhered a piece of the Zany Zoo DSP to a piece of Lemon Lime Twist before adhering it to Basic White & then to a Basic Black Base Card.

The Card Candy was then adhered to the middle of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. It was finished off with Black Classic Matte Dots.

Be sure to head on over to Robbie’s blog to see what she has created.

May Stamp n Hop Blog Hop with Cheerful Daisies

Published on May 13, 2023May 12, 2023 by Vicky Wright2 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop for May where we are showcasing New Product from the new Annual Catalogue.

If you are a current SU! Demonstrator & would like to join us, please do. Click HERE to join our group. We’re from all over the world & love to share our love of Stampin’ Up!

There are just the 2 of us hopping this month so a very quick & easy one to hop along. If you have just come from Mo‘s blog, welcome.

Have you seen the gorgeous new Cheerful Daisies Bundle? I’m sure I’m not the only one who loves daisies. If so, then this Bundle is for YOU!

Now, I will be honest & say that this is wasn’t I started out to do but hey that happens. In saying that I am happy with the final look.

The flowers were randomly stamped onto a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock with Crushed Curry Ink, coloured with the Daffodil Delight Watercolour Pencil before the image was highlighted with the Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker.

The stems & leaves are Mossy Meadow Ink, the spatters with Night of Navy Ink while the sentiment & flower centres are with Copper Clay Ink. Much to my surprise I am loving this colour.

A small bow was tied with the Gold & Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon prior to being adhered to the bottom of the stitched Very Vanilla circle. The card was finished off by randomly adhering 3 x Gold Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

To purchase the supplies to create your own card, click on the photo or HERE.
