Stampin' Up! Twitterpated Recipe Index Card Box Tutorial

I've been having a play with some goodies from the new Summer Mini Catalogue again. I am so lucky to have most of the products used on this project for FREE from Stampin' Up! - if you'd like to know more about becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator yourself and earning freebies too, just give me a shout!

So nothing like freebies to put a smile on Jelly's face, especially with a name like Twitterpated. I couldn't resist using them to make another of my Recipe Index Card Boxes:

I've used the Twitterpated Designer Papers teamed up with Blushing Bride, Whisper White and Riding Hood Red card. My favourite thing about this box is the flip top lid:

The inside is decorated to match with four divider cards too. The decoration on the front is so pretty and simple to make too:

First I die cut a piece of Red Riding Hood Card using the new Framelits Dies (you get 6 dies in the set for just £24.95) then stamped the image from Apothecary Art in Riding Hood Red ink on Whisper White card. I actually cut around this one to get a closer frame. The flowers have been coloured with matching Markers with a strip of the very gorgeous Pleated Satin Ribbon added through the middle and a cute 'lil Twitterpated button too. Finally, I stamped the flowers from Bordering on Romance in Basic Gray and coloured firstly with Markers and then over the top with an Aqua Brush and Basic Gray ink.

If you want to have a got at one of these Recipe Index Card Boxes yourself, the tutorial is now available in my right hand side bar.

Stampin' Up! Domestic Goddess Recipe Box

EDITED TO ADD: Doh - how did I not notice I'd spelt recipes wrong? Maybe it's all about my love of pies! Quick re-glue job to do tomorrow then!

I've had a much needed afternoon of crafting today. I designed a recipe index card box a while back and will enjoy making it at my Cupcake Class on 12th May. In the meantime I can show you my Domestic Goddess version:

It's such a sturdy box and holds tons of standard sized cards and envelopes. The tutorial will be available from tomorrow so please pop back for that and the cupcake version too! I've used Crumb Cake card teamed up with the Domestic Goddess Designer papers. Aren't they fun? The letters are stamped from Letter It and cut out with Brights Brads popped between them.

I love these papers, the colours, the patterns and pictures. Can't understand why it's taken me until now to use them. I've punched this mixing bowl out of the patterned papers using the 2" x 1 3/8" Oval Punch and layered it with a frame from Sizzlits Lots of Tags. Here's a side view:

You can see I've decorated the inside with the Designer papers too - do you like the flip top lid?

Here's a better look at the inside. There are four dividers, although you could easily add more and it's got four packets of Stampin' Up! Whisper White C6 envelopes inside to give you an idea of it's size.

I had to make some fun cards to match using cut outs from one of the sheets of patterned paper:

I typed up the sentiments on the PC and printed direct on to sheets of A4 Crumb Cake card. I made two more:

I hope you can read the sentiments OK, if not just click on the pictures to see a bigger view. I wanted to show you that sometimes you don't need sentiment stamps, lots of dies and clever stamps to make fun cards. Just the basics!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Stampin' Up! Tea Shoppe Pop Up

Been a few days - things are a bit up in the air at the house of Jelly at the moment so it's a card I made last week to show you today. It uses a combination of goodies from the new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalogue combined with just as scrummy stash from the main Idea Book and Catalogue. I've created yet another pop up card:

The featured stamp set here is the very gorgeous Tea Shoppe which is in the Summer Mini. It's great value for money - look how many stamps you get in the set:

I don't yet have everything I'd like from the new mini so I took my colour inspiration from one of the designer papers in there called Sweet Shop which I'll show you when I do have them! The colours are Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White and Soft Suede. How lucky that we have another pack of papers in the Idea book and Catalogue using some of these colours: Domestic Goddess:

 

I love the patterned strips sheet with the tea cups and cutlery. I carefully cut around some of the cutlery to make a border for the top of the pop up card. There is a scallop edge print on the paper which matches up perfectly with our Scallop Border punch - saved me on the cutting out!

I struggled to make some saucers to match the cups and in the end used left over pieces from the centre of a letter 'O' from the Big Shot Alphabet Simple Letters! I've accented my tea cups with hearts from the Owl Builder Punch and flowers from Itty Bitty Punch Set. I left the outside of the card quite simple:

I stamped the large tea cup twice and cut out the Pool Party flowers to layer over the Wisteria Wonder one. The Lucky Limeade strip is punched using the Lace Ribbon Border punch and I've added a strip of the Domestic Goddess Designer Paper.

If you want to have a go at one of these pop up cards, the tutorial is available in my left hand side bar.

Stampin' Up! Dinoroar Scrap Layouts

Aah - Monday already. No time for crafting today as the sun has been out so I took Bips to the park whilst Zac was at pre-school and then I've been parcelling up some orders to go. Luckily, I'd already got these scrap pages made to show you. I started them at Jules' training and finished them when I got home - thanks to Cal and co for the suggestion to use Dinoroar stamp set and cut some grass!

 I think it's easier to see them one at a time so here is the first page I made:

The background is a 12x12 sheet of Baja Breeze and the designer papers are from a new selection called Twitterpated - these are available from tomorrow in the new Summer Mini Catalogue! It's a very girlie paper selection but has a couple of sheets suitable for boy projects too! The title has been stamped with the Letter It alpha stamps and cut out with coloured brads between each letter. When Spark comes home each day he always asks 'how have my mini beasts been today?' The Pleated Pear Pizzaz ribbon is also new as is the cute 'lil Twitterpated button.The other new product I've used is one of the Framelits dies to create a lift up flap. Here's the outside:

I folded a piece of the designer paper and cut so the fold was inside the die at the top. The dinosaurs or dinoroars have been stamped in Basic Gray Ink and coloured with coordinating inks using an Aqua Brush. The grass was cut by hand. Here's the inside:

I used a smaller framelit die to create a white space for journalling. Here's the next page:

I love these photos, we had a pop up play tent in the lounge filled with plastic balls and they went mad for it. Here's a close up of one of the cute dinosaurs:

Hope you can pop back tomorrow as I promise I have some FAB things to share with you!

Stampin' Up! Bye Bye Spice Cake

I didn't wake up until 9.40 this morning! That's unheard of in the house of Jelly. The boys are back from their grandparents now so we'll return to the usual 5.40am wake up call tomorrow I expect. 

I posted out a catalogue to a lovely lady this weekend (Hi Linda) and I included a few punched out jewellery tags for her. It inspired me to create these:

It's a cute little gift set for a crafter! I've made use of the Spice Cake designer papers and the oh so gorgeous Spice Cake Designer Buttons. To know me is to know I have hugely stocked up on these buttons as they are one of my favourite products. Do I need to remind you that from Tuesday you won't be able to buy these papers or these buttons? I'm putting in my final order from the Spring Mini Catalogue tomorrow, so you need to contact me BEFORE midday Monday to get your order in through me too. Local orders that can be collected have FREE P&P too. 

Here's the card:

The sketch is from this weeks challenge over at Less is More. I love it - there are two versions you can choose from. I kept it simple, just a large 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punched in Soft Suede (another punch that's going tomorrow!) and added some Spice Cake paper and popped a button in the centre. I stamped a flower from Itty Bitty Bits and used the Jewellery Tag punch and attached with some Linen Thread:

That's when I decided to make a matching gift too, I got my inspiration from the Mini when I saw a box created with the Two Tags Die:

I die cut two tags (no pun intended) in Pool Party and again in Spice Cake Papers. The decoration is the same as the card and perfectly holds the Jewellery Tag Punch. I popped it in a large Cello Bag and tied a bow with the Velvet Designer Ribbon - also going tomorrow folks!

As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I often harping on about the perks of the job. You really want to come back on Tuesday to see an amazing opportunity you can take advantage of when you join our team of Jelly Stampers during May!!!

Stampin' Up! Simply Adorned

I lurve Saturday mornings. Especially when the mini beasts have stayed the night at their Grandparents and I get to sleep 'til 7am. Bliss. Bliss somewhat ruined as had to get up anyway as the plasterer was coming to do our hallway.

Anyhoo, I've been crafting whilst he did the plastering and here's what I came up with:

As I'm such a tidy crafter (not) I still had the hostess Sweet Treat Designer papers out and took inspiration from them again. I've made a necklace and bracelet jewellery set with the Simply Adorned product range. Can you believe these are only available until Monday in the Spring Mini Catalogue? Here's the necklace:

I couldn't get a decent shot of the Bevelled Charm so hope you get the idea. I stamped the heart from Perfect Postage and cut the centre out leaving a heart window. Glued behind this is a little scrap of the designer paper, mounted on Concord Crush paper from the same range and decorated with self adhesive Basic Rhinestones. I've added a knot of Elegant Eggplant Scallop Dots Ribbon and attached a Pink Crystal Bauble and a Trinket Crown:

I wish the Trinket Crowns were hanging around for a while longer - how perfect would they be on Jubilee projects? The Simply Adorned Chain comes in a beautiful gift box so I decorated it to match. I made use of the Postage Stamp Punch here too before it's no longer available. The matching bracelet was really simple to make. Just a Simply Adorned Bracelet with Baubles and Trinket Keys attached - so easy to do as they all have lobster clasps included. I decorated some smaller Bevelled Charms with designer papers.

Finally a cute gift card to match:

Hope this photo shows the bracelet off a little better. Well luckily for me I'm in the room of craft and Spark has just shut me in and taped around the outside of the door as he's sanding and painting. Oh the nightmare - I have to ask his permission to get out ha ha. I have coffee and chocolate and all my stash - why would I want to leave?

Going......going......

Eeek! Seriously, just a few days remaining now to order anything you love from the Stampin' Up! Spring Mini catalogue. 

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I get a little fraught towards the end of a catalogue or promotion as I know I don't have much time left to showcase some of the beautiful products we have. At the same time I'm whooping and giggling behind the scenes 'cos I've also got loads of new stuff to play with from the New Summer Mini Catalogue! Just one of the perks of being a demonstrator is that you get to order stuff a whole month before it's available to everyone else.

There's something NEW and exciting coming next week that just might tempt you to join our team and become a Stampin' Up! demo too. If you can't wait to find out, please drop me an email over the weekend and I'll share!

Anyway, back to the Spring Mini, here's a project I cased from page 13 using You Are Loved - not just for Valentine's Day!

It's cute little gift box filled with cards. The colour combo is Pool Party, Real Red, Lucky Limeade and Pretty in Pink. Here's the box:

I stamped the heart in Versamark ink and then coloured the flower image with Markers and stamped onto Whisper White Card and cut out. Next, stamped the banner and snipped the ends before punching a Scallop Oval in Pretty in Pink and sticking it behind. The banner is held in place using Clear Rhinestone Brads. The pretty trim around the top is the gorgeous Red Glimmer Paper, also from the mini. 

I made five mini cards to go inside using Real Red card and In Color Designer Papers. I stamped the same flower image and cut them out for each card too. To finish I popped them in a 4"x6" Cello Bag and tied together with a Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon bow.

If you'd like to order these or any other products, I have my last mini catalogue order going through on Monday 30th April. You need to have your order and payment to me by MIDDAY on Monday please. If you live local to me and can collect your order, your post and packing is FREE as a thank you from me.

A quick reminder about my Cupcake Recipe Card Index Box Class:

Booking for this class closes TOMORROW - Saturday 27th April. More details on the class can be found HERE.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Card Part Two

As promised today I have another version of the pop up card I showed you yesterday. If you love it, the tutorial is available now in my right side bar.

This one features my favourite products of the moment, Create a Cupcake and the Cupcake Builder Punch. I still can't believe they are only going to be available for another 3 days - sob! firstly, a glimpse at the inside. I've used sugary colours for this card to match with the recipe card index box I designed - the tutorial for that will be available in a couple of weeks, after the class.

I made use here of the chunky Lace Ribbon Border Punch. I don't use it as often as I should really. Again I kept the front of the card quite simple - can you spot another new product here?

Just check out and drool over this gorgeous pleated satin ribbon - you can order it in several colours from me on 1st May. Again I've used the large 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, as this is also going to be unavailable to order after Monday. Do you wanna see the inside then?

Mmm yummy! No way am I ever going to get rid of this stamp set or punch, it will live happily in my room of craft for a long time to come. I am going to be gutted not to showcase it on my blog over the coming months, but I'm sure I will have lots of new stash to show you instead!

Stampin' Up! Up, Up and Away

Well it's wet, cold and dull here. So how about a nice bright card to cheer things up?

This is a little look at the insde of the card. Notice anything new? That's right you haven't seen these balloons on my blog before as they are one of the stamp sets that will be available to you in the new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalogue from 1st May! Want to see the front of the card?

I've featured the Hostess Designer Papers, Cheerful Treat. You can earn these yourself for free by hosting a qualifying party at home, or why not join my next Stampers 10 virtual club starting in May - ask me for more details.

Here's the inside of the card:

I hope you like it - I've popped a tutorial for it in my right hand side bar. The large clouds are made using the Cupcake Builder punch - don't forget you only have until 30th April to order this punch. Doesn't it look fab with these balloons and the stamped clouds too? If you've already got the Cupcake punch and the hostess papers, I'm betting you'll be wanting this stamp set too!

I'll be back tomorrow with another similar but different version of this card.

Hugs
