Stampin' Up! Painted Harvest Eclipse Thank you Card

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Eclipse cards seem really popular at the moment so not one to miss out I've made one using the Painted Harvest stamp set.

This has got to be one of my all time favourite stamp sets, it is absolutely stunning and so versatile, I can't believe I didn't like it when I first saw it in the catalogue.

I used the Large letters framelits to cut out the YOU and the Thank comes from the One Big Meaning Stamp Set. 

This is a view from the side so you can see the 'eclipse' effect.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Stampin' Up! Bundle of Love DSP Thank You Cards

Welcome to the Crafty Cupcakes Team Stampin' Up! Blog Hop for November 2017. Each m

onth members of the Team take part in our Team Blog Hop to share with you our cards and projects made using the fabulous Stampin' Up! products. You are currently visiting Jillian Selwood from the UK and below you will see the full list of everyone taking part. To move to the next blog just click the name after mine in the list. 

The theme for this month is Thankful. Whilst we don’t celebrate thanksgiving here in the UK I do love to send Thank you cards - any excuse to make and send a card! There is always something or someone to be thankful for so it’s just nice to be able to recognise it.

For these Thank you cards I used the Bundle of Love Speciality Designer Series Paper, this beautiful paper is double sided, on one side it’s either Blushing Bride or Soft Sky and on the other side it’s cream and gold.

So I started the cards with a base of Very Vanilla thick cardstock and used a mat of either Soft Sky or Blushing Bride. Then I embossed the sentiment on the bottom - ‘I am thankful for you’ this comes from the Painted Harvest Stamp Set. Then I cut some small strips from the DSP and adhered them above the sentiment. I then punch out three circles using the new Starburst Punch in all three Designs. These were adhered to the front of the card using two of the coloured side and one of the gold side.

Finally, I die cut the smaller flower from the Flourish Thinlet dies and adhered this on top of the two strips of DSP at the bottom of the card before adding a gold Faceted gem to the centre. I was rather pleased with how these turned out and I really hope the recipients like them too.

Stampin' Up! Painted Harvest Hedgehog card

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

It's World Card Day on 7th October so to celebrate I've offering all my followers a chance to receive a hand made card. 

This Hedgehog card is one of the cards I will be giving away.

I have seen quite a few people using this stamp set to make a Hedgehog card so it's a little difficult to credit just one person. The first YouTube video I watched was by Serene Stamper you can watch her tutorial here.

I love the fern leaf and as it is a two step stamp you can use a variety of different colours to make each leaf look completely different, a bit like nature really.

Don't you just love this little face?

So to be in with a chance of receiving one of my hand made cards please just email me at Jillian@purpleselwood.co.uk and I will draw four lucky people. Please response by Saturday 14th October.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Stampin' Up! Painted Harvest Fancy Fold Birthday Card

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Welcome to the Crafty Cupcakes Team Stampin' Up! Blog Hop for September 2017. Each month members of the Team take part in our Team Blog Hop to share with you our cards and projects made using the fabulous Stampin' Up! products. You are currently visiting Jillian Selwood from the UK and below you will see the full list of everyone taking part. To move to the next blog just click the name after mine in the list. This month our theme is Holiday Catalogue Favourites. 

When I first saw the Painted Harvest Stamp Set I didn't really like it, the main reason was it is a two step stamp set and I'm not that good with two step stamping! Having watched lots of Tutorials on You Tube it did look very easy to use so I decided to buy it. 

I am so glad that I did, it is absolutely stunning and so easy to do. Here's the first card I've made - Warning I think there will be plenty more to come!

  

Yes it is a sunflower and yes they should be yellow but doesn't it look stunning in Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum?  I also used Old Olive for the leaves.

It opens up the wrong way, like this

There is plenty of room inside to write a lovely message even with the sentiment and the flower in the bottom right hand corner.

This is what it looks like standing up so even though the front does open up it still stands nicely.

A finally a view from the top.
