This week’s challenge at the Global Design Project is ‘Just a note to say…’ which covers a multitude. The two most common cards I make are either Birthday cards or Thank you cards. I decided to use the Thank You theme for this Share What You Love Challenge Card. This is a layout I use often, in fact, I used it at my Monday class with a totally different… Read More »
This week’s challenge at the Global Design project is a Sketch Challenge. I cracked open Animal Outing for the first time, it’s a great set and I can’t wait to get the coordinating DSP. I love the font and wanted to use the ‘Welcome’ for a brand new team member who just joined my third level – welcome Catherine! Here is my take on this week’s sketch… … Read More »
I admired a recent post by my lovely friend Ruth Trice (link to follow). I thought it would be perfect project for an upcoming Mum and Me kids class. By chance, my friend called me a few weeks later and asked me would I do a crafting activity at her daughter’s 10th birthday party. Well, I had the absolute PERFECT project! Her daughter had final approval, but how could you… Read More »
This week at the Global Design Project, it’s a colour challenge and the three colours we are asked to work with are Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party. I’ve chosen the brand new stamp set, Love What You Do. I wanted to show you that it works beautifully with other colours, if for some crazy reason, you didn’t like the colours in the Share What You Love DSP.… Read More »
I recently celebrated my 5 Years as a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Happy Anniversary to me! Like many other demonstrators, I joined for the demonstrator discount. However I didn’t plan to just buy products at a discount, I loved so much of the first catalogue I saw I knew that wasn’t enough. I also wanted to earn products for free too and therefore pretty quickly started a business. I have… Read More »
Welcome to the Let’s Get Hopping May Blog Hop. This month, we set ourselves the challenge of making a set of cards that could be given as a gift. I made something yesterday but I really wasn’t satisfied with my project. Being really pushed for time, I had literally a 15 minute window to change my project or I had to go with the original one. I am eternally grateful… Read More »
My daughter turned 6 a couple of weeks ago and had a Princess themed birthday party. As I’d just used the venue’s invitations, I decided to make some pretty special thank you cards for her guests. I created a Princess shadow box card that opens up to reveal a red rose and her Thank you wishes. It was quite a simple card to create and I have to thank Danielle… Read More »
I am part of a group of global demonstrators who want to showcase some last chance products for you this morning and I have chosen the fabulous Cool Treats stamp set together with the matching Frozen Treat dies for a ‘Cool’ Cool Treats Birthday Card – see what I did there 😉 I’ve also used poor old Chocolate Chip which is one of our retiring colours this year. When… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where our theme this month is April Showers. This month we are joined by the very talented Artisan Rhoda McPherson, delighted you are hopping with us Rhoda. I have ‘loosely’ interpreted the theme this month and have used the fabulous Sunshine Wishes framelits together with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks to create a scrapbook page. The photo was taken in Cornwall last… Read More »
We had a fabulous gathering recently for the start of Stampin’ Up’s 30th Birthday celebrations. I travelled with six members of my team, the Aces and Diamonds. We had such a fabulous time and really look forward to our road trips every 6 months thanks to Stampin’ Up! I love making downline gifts and I think (and hope) they really liked their gift this time. It was a really practical… Read More »
If you’ve seen my last few posts, then it’s no secret that I love the Hold on to Hope bundle – but how about a Hold on to Hope Congratulations card? I just had to use my current favourite for my Onstage 2018 swaps. I had used a sponged background recently for team swaps and also for an Easter card that I posted a few weeks back. This effect is… Read More »
This month the Let’s Get Hopping Blog Hop team are showing our Love for Very Vanilla. I must admit I am more of Whisper White girl but I relished the challenge of mixing things up a bit with Very Vanilla. We do have a couple of product suites to choose from that use Very Vanilla in our catalogues. However, I thought I would try and push myself out of my… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog hop where we are cooking up a storm for the Easter weekend. You are very welcome, here with Eimear at Stamp in Colour.

Having said that, I would love to take credit for the bake in my Hold on to Hope Pizza… Read More »
I am so glad I purchased the Hold on to Hope Bundle. I originally purchased it to make sympathy cards for my Mum with a further idea for Communion cards for my son. However, I’ve also used the bundle to make a gorgeous piece of home decor earlier this month and today, I’ve used the Hold on to Hope bundle for a beautiful Easter card. I’m afraid as I looked through… Read More »

This punch is a great shape and fits more sentiments and images than just the set is is paired with. However, today I am going to show you a card using both elements of the Truly Tailored bundle.… Read More »
It’s Mother’s Day here in the UK on Sunday so, of course, I had to make my own amazing mother a special card. I wanted to use the Celebrate You Thinlits which are FREE with a £90 purchase until the end of this month. This set is so versatile with three really useful words; You, Celebrate and Amazing in three different fonts. Here, I’ve used the Celebrate You Thinlits to… Read More »
Are you a ribbon hoarder like me? I started a little project earlier in the week and due to our un-seasonal snow, I have finally had a chance to complete it today. An In-Color ribbon hairband!! I do tend to stock up somewhat on ribbon and I love looking at it, but it needs to be a special project to use it. This has somewhat backfired for me as now… Read More »

You may have arrived from Carolyn at Care Bear Stamps or this may well be your first stop but either way, you are very welcome here at Stamp in Colour. I decided that I would make an Easter Home Decor Gift using the Hold on to Hope bundle together with… Read More »
I’ve been having a clear-out of my retired items on Ebay. I wanted to send a thank you card to send with the items and needed something quick and easy without compromising on style. As I’ve been making a conscious effort to pull out some old favourites that haven’t seen some love in a while, I decided to make a Quick and Easy Swirly Bird card. I liked this card… Read More »
I have a treat for you today! A treat box tutorial to be precise! It was my daughter’s 10th Birthday party this weekend and we had a small group of friends round for a ‘pamper party’ . As her actual party was over 3 weeks ago, she didn’t want a cake – we had to make ‘crazy milkshakes’ instead! But as there was no cake going home in party bags,… Read More »
