Three card ideas using Wildflower Designs from Stampin’ Up!®

 Stampin Up Wildflower Designs card ideas

I am always drawn to Stampin’ Up!® stamp sets featuring wildflowers, seed heads and big allium-style flowers, so it was inevitable that I would add Wildflower Designs to my craft stash.

This beautiful stamp set is part of the Wildly Flowering Suite. I thought I could get away with just purchasing the stamp set but no, I have since ordered the dies to complete the bundle at least.

If you’re on the hunt for quick and easy Stampin’ Up!® ideas, then look away now. But if you’re up for a big ole messy craft session featuring lots of ink splashing, then I am here for you!

Six card ideas using Full of Life Designer Series Paper

Stampin Up Full of Life card ideas

I don’t know about you but I love it when I can make two cards in one go, and this happened twice during a craft session with the STUNNING new Full of Life Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!®

The paper had completely passed me by until a customer ordered it. Once I saw her pack, I knew I had to have my own... and plan an online class around it too.

Although there are no actual images on the paper, the designs really are Full of Life – full of rainbows of colour and geometric patterns.

I have used various Stampin’ Up!® stamps and dies to make these cards because my focus was on the Full of Life Designer Series Paper. There is a coordinating bundle called Friends for Life but I don't have this so wanted to see what else I could use.

Enduring Beauty masks – floral card idea

Stampin Up Enduring Beauty mask card idea

One of the things I love about the new Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue is the techniques pages.

These are perfect for building up your own craft skills and also lend themselves perfectly to classes. I recently held a Masterful Masking class, taking inspiration from pages 124 and 125 of the catalogue.

Cutest Onesie baby card with Painted Lavender

Cutest Onesie Painted Lavender Stampin Up baby card idea
 

We have a new baby in the family! I am a great-aunt once again and it’s very exciting. No pinks for this baby girl so I made a lavender-themed card by combining two Stampin’ Up!® stamp sets.
