The gorgeous patterns in the Night of Navy and Whisper White Floral Series Papers from Stampin' Up! UK include lots of patterns which are not floral which I have used here.

This card is also very postal friendly as despite having a few elements it does not require a large letter stamp - always a bonus when your friends are not so local!

Weather Together Umbrellas To Send Cheering Wishes - with a quick tutorial on how to make the background.

Sometimes the world throws everything it has at people we care about and we just want to make it better for them.  For those times we can't be there in person a card can make all the difference.

I love the wishing you brighter days sentiment in the Weather Together Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! UK - it seems so much more hopeful and positive than 'thinking of you'.

The background for this card was made my soaking some Watercolour Paper with an Aqua Painter.  The Aqua Painter was then used to pick up and just splosh on some colour.  The colours then run on the already wet paper.

Once it was dry I flicked the Gold Wink Of Stella Brush over the top.  Make sure you have some grid paper or scrap paper underneath and as much space as you can around your project for this step as the Gold Sparkly Ink will go all round your project!  I then stamped the sentiment in Basic Black Ink.

I hope you have fun with this technique - and would love to see what you create

Swirly Bird Kites for a Super Stars Team Challenge

Stampin' Up!'s tag line is Inspire, Create, Share and that is something my wonderful team of Stampin' Super Stars do lots of!  One way we do that is with Team Creative Challenges - and we have a new one to inspire us all to create every other week.  Currently we have a colour challenge and this is what I made in response.
When I saw the colours Karen, who sets the challenges for us had picked I knew straight away I wanted to do something summery.
I love these colours together and know I will be using them again.

The team have shared some fantastic projects - what would you do with these colours?

Squirrel! How to Make a Squirrel Using One Of the Foxy Friends Stamps from Stampin' Up! UK

I recently spent some time with a group of St John's Ambulance Cadets showing them what fun Card Making can be.  One of the leaders was somewhat disappointed that they could not find a Squirrel Stamp in our Catalogue, so I decided to show him how one could be made with the Foxy Friends Stamp Set (and a pair of Snips!)

I stamped the soon to be squirrel on a separate piece of card and cut it out by hand.  I then carefully trimmed off his tail, before reattaching it behind his back to give that characteristic bushy tail appearing over their heads.  Simple.

This really is a very versatile and fun stamp set to play with and I can highly recommend giving it, and the coordinating punch a go.
