Stampin' With Michelle Pepper

Today's card is one that I taught in my January classes, using the Peaceful Moments Bundle. (Check out my For Sale page to see if this card is in stock. Otherwise, I might be able to custom make you one upon enquiry.) Something Different The Peaceful Moments Bundle is a little different to most other bundles traditionally offered in that none of the dies have a coordinating image in the stamp set. Peaceful Moments , you see, is a sentiments only stamp set. By not including images meant there is room for more sentiments - TEN of them in fact. It covers all the popular occasions that call for a card - Birthdays, Thank Yous, Congratulations and Sympathy. You can easily pair this stamp set with any other stamp sets with images or other dies sets (frames or images) that you already have in your stash. How thoughtful of Stampin' Up! With 16 dies of solid and outline of florals and foliage, the Poppy Moments Dies is your answer to creating beautiful and p...

Happy New Year everyone! Y'all, you're looking at one of my favourite things to do at this time of the year. When: 1) back to school promotions offer note books for 5c (yes! What can you get for 5c these days??!!), 2) the Stampin' Up! Jan-June Mini Catalogue offers a beautiful array of patterned papers and 3) you've been taking it easy because it is the Summer Holidays THIS. HAPPENS !  Do ya love the transformation? !!! Today's post features the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper . Here you see what fun I had pairing the paper with the card stock mat. I have used Calypso Coral, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss here. The sentiments were from Love What You Do , Country Home (both from the Annual Catalogue) and Beautiful Moments (new one from the new Mini Catalogue). Gratitude Journals anyone? Or perhaps Prayer Journals? Will work too as an Everyday notebook collection of thoughts, to do lists, even shopping list...

Two days till Christmas! Isn't this the cutest stamp??? The Gang's All Meer is a stamp set you can only get during Sale-a-bration which begins on 3rd January, and the best part of it is that it is one of the FREE items you may choose when you order a minimum of $110. I just couldn't wait till the New Year to show you this stamp set and so I made some Christmas cards with it. The stamp I used actually only has 5 meerkats, so in order to achieve this look I have used the Masking Technique. I do not have a santa hat stamp image so I hand drawn and coloured in the santa hats, then used our Snowfall Accents Puff Paint to add the white fur and pompoms. (ps: I just saw that we have sold out of this Puff Paint product!) Below is another version - this time with less meerkats and instead of hand drawing on the santa hats, I used the party hat stamp that comes in the stamp set. How cute are these meerkat carolers singing Joy To The World!   Below is ve...

A handmade Christmas card to love! Just a few elements came together to make this beautiful card: 1. a pattern paper from the Let It Snow Designer Series Paper (also other cards I have been making with these papers here and here ) matted on to either Pool Party or Crumb Cake card base; 2. the vellum was punched out using the 2" circle punch and embossed with the Scripty 3D embossing folder . 3. The focal point, the regal Real Red reindeer is from the Dashing Deer stamp set , and cut with its coordinating die from the Detailed Deer dies set.  4. The "holly" were diecuts out of the Christmas Layers Dies set dotted with red berries aka metallic pearls that I have coloured with Real Red Stampin Blends . 5. Lastly, the sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. Easy as does it ! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you come back again soon, I have more Christmas cards to share ! Blessings, M xx

An acorn wreath - who would have thought of this! 💗 This is almost a complete CASE of Krista Frattin's card which she showed us in the Crafty Carrot Collective back in October. The acorn images were the one I could not think of how to use on a card, so when Krista showed her idea - man, I was like, get this made straightaway! (Yes, I have had this post in the draft waiting to go live, since October! Oh well, better late than never.) Supplies used: Stamps: Perfectly Plaid (#149418) Ink: Sahara Sand, Crumbed Cake,  Soft Suede, Early Espresso Paper: Crumbed Cake Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, Gold Foil Card Stock, Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper Dies: Merry Christmas Other: Linen Thread, Metallic Pearls, Aqua Painter

Hello from sunny Auckland, New Zealand! It's always a bit of a discord to make and send snowy Christmas cards locally but I simply can't help it. It may be because I have never experienced a White Christmas that all things snowy and sparkly is magical and very Christmassy for me. And well, it's pretty hot here at the moment, so I'm sure my recipients would be transported to a dreamy cold place when they first open their mail - even if only for a brief moment! Well this year Stampin' Up! offers a very cute set of Designer Series Paper called Let It Snow which I have used to very quickly and simply make a bunch of fun Christmas cards. Stamps (any Christmas greeting, and "Thinking of you" is always appropriate for any occasion!), ink (featuring Blueberry Bushel) and paper. That's all you need, y'all! #simplestamping, Stamps/ink/paper- have you given it a go? Whether you are a beginner stamper or a seasoned and avid stamper,  #simplestamp...

Welcome back! Today's card is one that I made after seeing Sharon Armstrong's card. It is simple, effective and sparkly, and who doesn't like a sparkly Christmas card! Notice that there is only one colour, Shaded Spruce, used (except for the sentiment in Tuxedo Black). By using the Stamping Off Technique (stamp without re-inking), you can get different shades of the one colour. Simple sure goes a long way. This is a great card if you are just starting out in your stamping journey and do not have a huge amount of colour choices at your disposal. Supplies used : Stamp set: Perfectly Plaid (#149418) Punch: Pine Tree (#149521) Paper: Shaded Spruce Card Stock (#147006), Whisper White Card Stock (#106549) Ink: Shaded Spruce (#147088), Tuxedo Memento Black (#132708) Other: Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Clear (#141897), Stampin' Glitter Dazzling Diamonds (#133751), Shimmery Crystal Effects (#150892), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755), Stampin' Dimensiona...
