I have been sharing a lot of projects using the Stampin’ Blends. I am really enjoying them. So easy to use and I am feeling like an artist!!! Well, maybe I have a little way to go. A few weeks ago I played with the Blends with the Beautiful You set. So I thought I would show you these in Watch It Wednesday #11.
Here are the 3 cards but I will show you them individually further below.
I did colour these a few weeks ago and I have worked on my colouring a bit more but you might find it helpful.
Here is the video for your enjoyment.
Here are each of the cards so you can see them close-up. I have kept the layout similar but created them in different colours and changed the Embossing Folders.
Night of Navy with the Sparkle Embossing Folder.
Rich Razzleberry with the Petal Burst Folder.
Cherry Cobbler with the Brick Wall Embossing Folder.
Did you notice the Rhinestones?? You can colour them with the Blends too.
So I hope you might have a play with them. They are really not hard at all to use and I love the effect with them.
I have a very short video to share with you today for this week’s edition of WATCH IT WEDNESDAY #10. I don’t know about you but sometimes those tiny little dies gets buried or dropped on the floor and you spend so long looking for them. Well! I saw an idea somewhere quite a few months ago and just recently introduced this in the classroom. I have to say this has been fantastic!! No more lost dies! Everyone loves the idea too when they come so I thought I would share it with you.
I hope you found that useful and you might be able to adapt it to your classroom or your own craft room.

I was asked by a lovely friend to make 2 Wedding anniversary cards for 2 of her children who are both celebrating their anniversaries this month. I haven’t made too many anniversary cards so wondered what to do. Then … My order arrived with my Stampin’ Blends and the Always and Forever set. 🙂
These are the cards I made.
I wasn’t sure what I would do with the stamps though. I cut some squares of white card and would see where it would take me. I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Inkon Thick Whisper White card. That is essential when using the Stampin’ Blends. Then they were coloured them with the Blends. On scrap card I stamped them again. For the tree stump I stamped it in Night of Navy and cut the little hearts and adhered them straight on to the image. For the tree rings I stamped it on Night of Navy card and cut the heart out and then raised it up with Dimensionals and added a Rhinestone to the heart.
Instead of adhering the white card to a card mat I added a strip of either Silver Foil or Copper Foil at the top and bottom of the white card. The Designer Series Paper is from the Delightful Daisy DSP. The sentiment is from the Best Birds set and cut with the Bunch of Banners Framelits.
What do you think?
You can see the Always and Forever stamp set in my store now -> HERE.
You can find out more about the Stampin’ Blends AND don’t forget my Blends Club. Find out about that ->HERE.
A bonus of being a demonstrator is that we get to order the products way before customers can. It gives us much more time to play with them. When I first got my Stampin’ Blendsa couple of weeks ago I also ordered this new set Color Me Happy. It’s such a sweet set. I shared these cards on Instagram and Facebook but hadn’t got to share them with you as yet. So it seems a good time now to show you what I have been doing.
What do you think of this Color Me Happy Set. Very cute?? This set is $47 W or $33 C.
There is also the Color Me Happy Card Kit. This kit includes card stock and all embellishments to make 16 cards. Cost is $41 which is not bad for $2.60 per card. You would need to buy the stamp set separately to use with this set.

While we are talking paper. I hadn’t shown you this cute card with the Delightful Daisy DSP that is one of the listed papers.
This card was inspired by Marcy Denning on Pinterest.
Just a little strip of the Delightful Daisy Paper, one happy piggy coloured with the Aquapainters and ink and a few loopy threads. One Happy Card I think. 🙂

Back to some projects with the beautiful Designer Series Paper that Stampin’ Up carry. I wanted to share this fun Card In A Box style card using the cute Birthday Memories paper. This was created by my lovely friend Leonie N and she allowed me to share it with you.
Isn’t this just so cute??? 🙂 There is no stamping involved. All these cute images are cut from the paper. (No colouring too!). I love this paper as you get one side with really cute images and then the other side is some fun patterns. It really is a great pack.
The Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper is one of the packs available for the special promotion this month. Buy 3 packs and get one Free!!

Yesterday I shared a Christmas Latch Fold card. Today I have another version using the Tranquil Tulipsset. OK, I did this card first and then realised for the Blog Hop that it was for the Holiday Catalogue. I thought I would share it with you today and give you the tutorial for it. 🙂
I have used the Birthday Blossomsset for the front and inside. I think it works well. The small flower to hold the flap was punched with the 3/4″ circle and then layered on a circle punched from Cherry Cobbler with the 1″ circle punch.
Here is the inside. I added a strip of the Old Olive paper from the Color Theory Paper Stack.
CREATE YOUR OWN LATCH FOLD CARD
** Apologies in advance for Imperial measurements. I am not too familiar with your standard card size so just check the measurements first for the front and inside card mats 🙂
1. From a standard size card base cut off 2.5cm (1″) off the front of the card.
2.Stamp your front image on Whisper White card. This piece was 7cm x 14.4cm. (for Imperial, measure a piece slightly smaller than the size of your front panel). If you like add a strip of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.
3.Cut a strip for your latch which measures 10.5cm x 2.5cm and score it at 8cm. (4 1/8″ x 1″). The white sentiment strip is 7.6cm x 2.1cm (3″x 3/4″)
4. For the inside panel cut a piece of Whisper White for the card mat slightly smaller than the inside of your card. (10.1cm x 14.4cm). (Imperial measure approximately 1/8″ smaller than the inside of your card). Add a strip of Designer Series Paper (14.4cm x 3cm) (Imperial 1 1/8″ x length of your card). BEFORE you stick this down to the inside of your card adhere your latch strip by adhering the smaller section of your strip behind your white card mat.
5. Fold this over the front of the card and position your punched circle piece in place that will hold your card closed. You can add a Dimensional to the back of the circle to raise it up but remember to ONLY ADD IT BEHIND HALF of the circle to allow you to fit the latch under it.
Hope this makes sense. Have fun making your Latch Fold card.
