Cards on the table with Vicki

Featuring: Diamond Easel Fold Card, Magnolia Lane designer paper, Magnolia Memory Dies, Special Fold, Stampin Up

Happy Wednesday Wonders Everyone!
 Hope your day is blooming with creativity.

I showed this card a while ago on my Facebook Page and just realised I hadn't posted it here yet.

This card was inspired by one I saw by Susan Levasseur who shared that the original idea for the Diamond Easel Fold card came from Mixed Up Crafts.

Now I just love Easel Fold cards and when I saw this one I knew it would do a beautiful job showing off the lovely Magnolia Lane DSP. Seriously gorgeous designer paper!! Just sayin'  lol.



See the flowers cut out? They are cut directly from the designer paper using the Magnolia Memory dies. (no stamping or colouring required!). I added a leaf and another die from the set cut out in some holographic foil card.  (the foil card looks a lot like our copper foil and I keep getting it mixed up haha. Then it catches the light and changes colours and I realis…

Featuring: Free as a Bird Stamp Set, Bird Ballad designer paper, Stitched Nested Label dies, Double Point Card, Special Fold, Stampin Up


Happy Wednesday Wonders,

Have you ever seen a Double Point Card before? I hadn't until I saw one from Jackie Bultje. I loved the idea of using up and showing off some of gorgeous designer paper so away I went.
Used the Bird Ballad Suite for my card.


I stamped the birds and did just a little watercolouring with  our water colour pencils and aquapainter.
The little flowers on the end of the branch are cut from the designer paper.

Greetings are from Butterfly Wishes Stamp set.
In the photo below you can see the two points of the designer paper (hence the name Double Point Card).
This flap lifts up to reveal another message underneath. Surprise!



But wait -
There is More!!
Yes lift up the card and see the greeting inside and where you can also write your own message.

 Ta Da!!

Featuring: Daisy Lane stamp set, Daisy punch, Medium Daisy Punch, Stampin Up


Happy Wednesday Wonders.

Did you happen to see the Queen at Royal Ascot in her Powder Blue outfit?
I loved it and her hat.
She always looks amazing.



I loved the colour so much and thought it reminded me of our new Seaside Spray In Colour.
I tried to use colours in her hat so I went with Gorgeous Grape and Blueberry Bushel and Mossy Meadow.




I heat embossed in white the fern from the Daisy Lane stamp set for a background.
Then layered the daisies and leaves.
(Leaves are from the Leaf Punch and the Magnolia die set. I sponged them with Mossy Meadow ink for some depth).


I added some pretty white spot tulle ribbon and Noble Peacock rhinestones.

So what do you think?
Do you ever look at something and think it reminds you of Stampin Up colours or designs?
Or is that just me? haha.
Either way this was a lot of fun to put together.

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by. Vx

Featuring: Floral Essence Stamp set, Stitched Nested Labels, Woven Threads designer paper, Rococo Rose Scalloped Linen Ribbon, Stampin Up


Happy Wednesday Wonders!

If you are wondering where I was last week...
Well... we had a surprise addition to the family.
Our granddaughter decided to arrive two weeks before her due date. LOL.
So it kind of threw us and any plans out the window.
But oh she is soooo adorable.
And we are very proud first time Grandparents.



And now for the card this week. I really like the Woven Threads designer paper. It has a nice 'vintage' feel to it. And features all the new lovely In Colours! This card is using new In Colours - Rococo Rose and Pretty Peacock. The Floral Essence Stamp set also has a matching Perrenial Flower Punch and the Leaf stamp matches our leaf punch. So a very versatile set to own.

I am loving the Stitched Nest Label dies. I think I use them on nearly everything! haha.
The Scalloped Linen Ribbon can have the edges trimmed and be used …

Featuring: Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set, Magnolia Memory Dies, Magnolia Dsp, Stampin Up.
