About Me

My photo
My name is Natalie and I love anything to do with card/paper. I have been a papercrafter for many years now and I never get bored playing with all the wonderful products available. I've been married to my wonderful husband Nathan for 35years now and we are still very much in love with each other as the first day we met each other. We have 3 wonderful children and 5 gorgeous grandchildren so we have lots to be thankful for. Since joining Stampin' Up! in 2018 I've grown so much in confidence with myself and I even tackle technology, which for me is a huge step to have taken, but I'm getting there slowly.

Last a lifetime






Hello again everyone,

I do hope you are all keeping well and staying safe. Hope you're finding lots to do and managing to fit in a bit of crafting. I'm so glad I'm a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in these very hard times. As a demonstrator you're able to see and order from the new catalogue, which launches to the public 3rd June, not long to wait, but I've had the privilege of already seeing it, and oh my there are some amazing new products coming out. If you'd like to be able to see the new catalogue and order early you could do so by becoming a demonstrator yourself.  Details of how to do this are over on my on line shop, so why not go on the link  "shop with me" in the side bar and have a little look.

Anyway back to the card I've made today.
I've used the beautiful Last a lifetime bundle from the mini catalogue, and this is actually carrying over to the new catalogue which is great to hear.

Using a sponge brayer I've colour blended the inks together, giving it a really lovely subtle look on the front of your card.
Then I've used the colour stampin' markers to ink the areas on the stamps (in the colours that match the inks I've already used ) for the sentiment flowers, this is a lovely technique to use as you can get some lovely colour combinations within the one stamp.
The sentiment I've heat embossed and then mounted it on to some silver glimmer paper.
I've used the dies in the bundle to cut out the flowers and the outside pieces of my coloured card, letting you see the white card from behind.
Using a lovely punch called Label me fancy punch, I cut out sections on the side of the card to thread the ribbon through, and it fitted perfectly between my pieces that were already die cut.
For the inside of my card I've done everything round the opposite way, so that this time the colour shows through from the back. I've then stamped with the colour inks the small hearts and placed them wherever you want them to be, and I've used part of the wording stamp to ink  using the marker pens the words I wanted in
 my card.

    1. I have heard that saying before and thought it was crazy, blue and green absolutely compliment each other and go fabulously together :) x
