More Delightfully Detailed ...

Buy Stampin Up Delightfully Detailed Suite 

TGIF peeps !!! I hope you are looking forward to the weekend. I have tons of work around the home to catch up with after a few days away this week so its going to be a busy one. 

I am sharing another wonderful example made with the Delightfully Detailed Suite from Stampin'Up! 

You will have seen the card I blogged here using the same Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut designer, this time I used some of the matts this pack offers and made this card in a snap.

The bold flower was created using the Daisy Punch and the leaves were punched out of Mint Macaron Card using the Leaf Punch by Stampin' Up!

The gorgeous Tulle Polka Dot ribbon is one you will see me use a lot over this coming year, I simply love the texture it adds to projects while taking very little space visually. 

The lovely sentiment comes from the matching Stamp Set called Detailed with love , stamped in Mint Macaron ink and cut out using the Stitched Framelits.

I want to thank you for visiting me today and wish you a wonderful weekend. Before I go though I need to remind you that I am going live on my Facebook business page tonight at 8.30 pm so if you fancy some live stamping I see you there. 

Much love

Monica

Delightfully Detailed

Stampin Up! Delightfully Detailed Dragonfly Dreams Special Card Ideas
Hello there,
I really hope your week is going well? Did you have a good look at the new catalogue? What is your favourite product so far?

One of the things I absolutely love is that Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Speciality Paper. Have you seen it? its simply gorgeous ..

This card could not be more simple but it has such a WOW and that little busy bee from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set just stands out against the delicate filigree Large Letters  sentiment.

After I cut the letters out from the Whisper White card I have lightly sponged some So Saffron ink directly onto the card base then adhered a few pieces of  Delightfully Detailed laser paper behind them.

Another new product I love is this gorgeous Polka Dot Tulle ribbon *oh my* its just to die for. I simply wrapped it around the matt layer of my card to achieve some extra texture and frame my sentiment. Of course that little bee is just beautiful and after stamping it in black and colouring it I couldn't help myself adding a little black bakers twine to emphasis it further. That little detail just made it.

You can buy all of these products now in my online shop and don't forget to use this month's hostess code.

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a wonderful rest of the week. 

Much love 

Monica

Are you sitting comfortably ?? Stampin Up have just announced their new COLOUR REVAMP and Oh My Goodness is it exciting !!!

We are going to say Goodbye to these colours so my suggestion is that you are ordering your re inkers for the ink pads you currently have so that you can enjoy them in the future.

On the In colours column left,  you can see the new In Colours that will last from 2018-2020 and on the right are our existing colours that went live in 2017 until 2019 .

The New Colours are those that will replace the going colours. We also have some of our OLD colours that are making a combeback. Do you remember Poppy Parade, Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron, Coastal Cabana and Blackberry Bliss ?? YES ?? well they are back baby *smile*.  I am so excited about all of these pretty colours coming back.

And below you can see our updated NEW Colour Families, they have had a little bit of a re-jig and now look like this : 

What do you think?? Aren't they just fabulous ??? I am deeply in love, every project I do starts with the colour combination, so to have all of these new fresh and exciting colours to play with honestly makes me so happy. I literally cannot wait. 

And do you like my Colour  Swatch? I am planning to make some of these to gift to my new team members or my customers who place an order with me this month for £40 or more, so if you SIGN UP to with me or spend £40 in My Online Store and I will send you one of these for free. If you want to purchase one you can for £7 including Uk postage. 

All of these will be available to purchase on the 1st of June unless you sign up and become a demonstrator. You can be one of the first to preorder and have these new goodies long before that time.

Epic Celebrations from Stampin'Up FREE until end of March

Buy Stampin'Up Epic Celebrations 

Hello there, its Friday and while normally I will be jubilant at the news, I wrote this week off entirely being really ill. Trust me I am not looking for sympathy and I am sick talking about it ( even more sick was being so ill I couldn't even bear to have the sound of the TV on). But its getting a little easier and I just wanted to take a minute to THANK YOU all from the bottom of my heart for your kind well wishes, flowers, gifts and thoughts. My face paralysis is doing SO MUCH better, miraculous in fact ( I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy at the weekend after waking up unable to move my face last Sunday). Its a virus and at such hard to predict but it seems it was temporary and I can smile once again with both sides of my face.  So hopefully a little more rest and I will be raring to go again :)

There is not much time left to collect some of the wonderful freebies in this year's Sale A Bration and Epic Celebrations is one of those sets on offer. I love having the trendy imagery perfect for young at heart..

I paired the Tutti Frutti papers with the trainer image and used the matching cards and envelopes which are also one of the free choices. The trainers were coloured using ink pads and a blender pen. I love those blender pens so handy to have an whip up for a bit of colouring especially on smaller images like this one.

 Bermuda bay and Crumb Cake were my ink colours perfect pairing for the bright Lemon lime twist card Base.

What do you think? Bright and cheery isn't it?

Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for your visit. Much love Monica xoxo

Stampin Up Eclipse Card

Stampin Up Uk Monica Gale Eclipse Card Ideas 
Hello there,

I am sharing a gorgeous Eclipse Card I made recently for my bestie who moved house. I didn't make may cards of this type but they are fun to make and I love how easy it is to spell all sorts of messages with our fabulous Large Letters Dies.

I kept it pretty simple with a square base in Crumb Cake and a simple layer in the same colour. Before I cut my letters out I did a little stamping and I have used a Hostess set for this card called In The City. Its a shame we cannot purchase this as its a fabulous useful set, you can however claim it with your hostess rewards if you place a qualifying order in my Online Shop. 

Once I stamped everything I coloured the images straight onto the crumb cake with the Stampin Blends Alcohol markers , you can purchase them by the whole collection, you can buy them individually or in packs of two coordinating shades. Check them out really fabulous pens you will not be disappointed.

Once I had everything coloured, I simply laid the letters and cut them on the big shot. A few dimensionals to raise the word a little splattering and few accents was all it took to complete my simple but happy card. 

I hope you enjoyed my card today, have a wonderful week and see you again soon.

Much love Monica 

xoxo
