Simple Cards using the Looking Up All Inclusive kits

I have probably said a number of times over the years, that I love the all inclusive kits from Stampin’ Up!® Not just because they contain all you need to make the cards shown in the instructions, but also offer items which can be used after all the cards are made. You will see a number of cards on Pinterest and Youtube which use the Looking Up All Inclusive stamps on cards. It is a very versatile stamp set which includes one of my most used sentiments ‘Happy Birthday.’  

I have been playing with the Looking Up All Inclusive card kit using the Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Spot, stamps and leftovers to create cards with different backgrounds. I have added a few items to the kit, but there are a few cards which just use items from the kit. All the cards use Whisper White Notecards.

The instructions are shown in the video below.

Card 1 – Stamped Background

This card uses one of the sentiments in Momento ink and the star stamp used with the Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Spot. I have used 3 generation stamping for the star (using the stamp 3 times without reinking, to create different colours of stars on the papers.) I have added the waste from the metallic stickers to add interest to the stars. I have repeated the sentiment on the insideand repeated the star stamping.

 

Card 2 – Side Dots

This card uses one of the sentiments in Momento ink and a sponge
dauber. I have added the sentiment to the right hand side in Momento ink and tapped the dauber in the Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Spot and added spots to the left hand side of the card.

Card 3 - Dot card 

This card uses one of the sentiments in Momento ink and a sponge
dauber. I tapped the dauber in the Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Spot added spots all over the front of the card.  I then added the sentiment to the centre of the card in Momento ink.

Card 4 – Blended background

This card uses one of the sentiments in Momento ink and a Blending
brush. I added the Bermuda Bay ink to the brush and added the ink in circles on the front of the card (remembering to add the first few circles on to scrap
paper to remove the excess ink).  I then added the sentiment to the centre of the card in Momento ink.


Card 5 – Smooshing

This card uses one of the sentiments and the smooshing technique. I added ink to a piece of plastic (I used the plastic on the stamp set) using the
Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Spot. I then sprayed the ink with water, I removed the excess water with a piece of kitchen role then smooshed the plastic on to the
front of the card. If the plastic is too wet, it will warp the note card. I added a sentiment to the centre of the card in Bermuda Bay ink. I added the excess
from the metallic stickers, as I thought that they looked like confetti. I added a sentiment to the front using the Bermuda Bay ink.

All of these technics can be used with any colours, I think that the Smooshing card is my favourite. Which is yours?

Lots of Happy Kit

Whats black and white with the options to add colour? The fabulous Lots of Happy kit from Stampin’ Up! There’s lots to love and enjoy in this all-inclusive card kit including the stamps, card bases and embellishments.  It is so easy to make these gorgeous cards and then add your own colour using the fabulous Watercolor Pencils which are included in the kit. All you need to add is adhesive and scissors. I also recommend a blender pen and bone folder. The kit makes 4 each of 5  card designs for a total of 20 card designs.

This kit is perfect for a beginner stamper, if someone is short of space, you want to experience the quality of Stampin’ Up! for the first time or you want to enjoy some simple stamping without having to think too much. As you have the ink, stamps, block and watercolour pencils, you have items which just need a few extra bits to make some  stunning cards. i love the colour combination

The video below shows the kit and the cards that I made using the kit and stamp set.

To make this kit more easily usable, I have an offer for you, if you purchase this kit before the end of April 2020 you will receive a free blender pen.*

*this will arrive separately from your main order along with a free gift and card from me  (please do not tick the no contact box as I will be unable to send you your items.)

World Card Making Day

It is rather late on World Card Making day, but I wanted to share this beautiful card with you, before I turn in to a pumpkin and before 'Thoughtful Branches' sells out and becomes retired.

I took a piece of Whisper White card stock and stamped the tree in Crumb Cake, I VersaMarked and then heat embossed the star using gold embossing powder, versamarked the leaves and used theheat and stick to make them glittery by adding Dazzling Diamonds,

I took a scrap piece of paper and Stamped the small out line banner from 'Banners for You' then 'for you'and heat embossed them in Gold. I cut them out using the Banner framelits. I cut some Glimmer Paper the same size as my Whisper White and off set them on to crumb cake card blanks.

One of my friends wants some for her Christmas cards. Sign up to my newsletter and recieve a free tutorial with sizes on for easy use and you can make some for your friends.

I love this card. I hope you do too.
