Moonlit Flora Suite tutorial using Fern & Flora Stampin’ Up!® bundle


I absolutely love the Moonlit Flora Suite, and spent a happy day making 10 simple projects using this lovely new Stampin’ Up!® Suite. 

10 cards - 10 card sketches 

These projects are now available as a PDF of instructions for all 10 cards using the Fern & Flora bundle from Stampin’ Up!®, with the same designs as 10 sketches which can be adapted to any stamps and paper. 

The tutorial is available in two formats: 

A4 cardstock, featuring measurements in metric and imperial.

US-style cardstock with measurements in inches only

As you may have noticed, I am currently unable to keep up with the blog. Something had to give and I’m afraid the blog was the victim. However, I am still an active Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator and still busy on 

Facebook: All Things Stampy

Instagram: All Things Stampy - here you will find a reel from March explaining just some of the reasons for not keeping up!

Real life! I am still running an easy monthly class and relaxed all-day classes four times a year, both here in Derbyshire, and online classes on an ad hoc basis for papercrafters based anywhere in the UK. 

Details of all of these can be found on my socials.

You Little Furball Around the World sketch challenge



Well here’s an exciting announcement. I am the new UK representative on the Around the World Stampin’ Up!® Challenges blog! This is a fabulous blog run by a group of SU demonstrators to celebrate the company’s expansion worldwide so I was very honoured to be asked to contribute. The design team is made up of one demonstrator from each country (with an extra one for the Spanish market in the USA and the French market in Canada). There are two challenges per month and everyone can take part, demonstrator or not. 

My brief is to provide a project for the challenge which is posted on the 15th of each month (today!).  The first challenge for me was a sketch and here is my project, using You Little Furball. You can see the sketch, and other demonstrators’ interpretations of it, at the Around the World blog

I flipped the sketch (unintentionally, it just happened that way) and tilted the main element so that I didn’t cover too much of the cat. This is a small card made from one of our Note Cards & Envelopes, as I didn’t want to overwhelm the little kitty. The greeting is stamped on vellum - be sure to use Stazon for this, rather than Memento ink, which takes longer to dry and is more prone to smudging. Ask me how I know! 

Now go and see what the rest of the team came up with - and why not have a go yourself? The challenges are open to everyone!
