Silhouette Cameo & Stampin' Up

Hello Friends,

I've been making a couple of little gifts and whilst making them, I couldn't help thinking again how easy the making of little gifts like these is using my Silhouette Cameo and the coordinated products, like the stamps & punches and the papers, card and ink from Stampin' Up.

I've used the "Hello Pillow box" cut file from the Silhouette store, along with a whole host of matching stash from Stampin' Up.

Thanks for popping by today and happy crafting.

Clean & Simple 4

Hello Friends,

Here is another card, made using inspiration from those On-line Card Classes girls and Shelli, the co-founder and and CEO of Stampin' Up.

As a Stampin' Up demonstrator, I was able to log into the live streaming from the American Stampin' Up conference in the States where Shelli demonstrated some tips and techniques.  She showed us how to make feathers, just like the ones on my card, out of Washi Tape.

I used Julie Ebersoles special splattering technique for the background splatters.

The card base was made joining two large die cut peices from the Floral Frames Collection, by Stampin' Up.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy crafting.

Clean & Simple 4 - Day 2

Hello Friends,

Here is my "homework" from yesterday's class.....

Kristina was using border die cuts in a different way for her clean and simple card.  I only have two border dies, one of which I've used, in white, down the right side edge.  I decided to use an old Nestability die for the mats on the front and the different way of using them, was to cut the section off with the sentiment on it.

I hope you like my card today, here are the details if you want to see what you are missing!

Happy crafting.

Clean & Simple 4 - Day one, Card 3

Hello Friends,

I'm on a roll and trying to be more organised ;)!  I've gotten into a little routine, the last few cards I've made, I've got all the stash out to make the card I have in mind and then what I've been doing is, making another card whilst putting all the stash back away!

With this in mind, here is the second card I made today.......

.....the inspiration came from the Online Card Class - Clean & Simple 4, it really is a must do class, in my opinion ;)!

Happy crafting and clearing away!

Cean & Simple 4 - Day 1 card 2

Hello Friends,

I'm back with a card that I've made using a technique Jennifer showed us, in class, yesterday.  I've used the new background stamp from Stampin' Up called "Something Lacy" along with Silver and Melon Mambo embossing powders, also by Stampin' Up.

The decorative "Friend" and mat for it, have both been cut out using my Silhouette Cameo.

It's not too late to sign up for this fabulous class, if you want to know how to make it ;)!

Can't wait to see what ideas those amazing girls have in store for us today!

Happy crafting.
