Stampin up card from scratch!



Good Morning Ladies,

Pat and I had a lovely day crafting yesterday, sadly Sue had car trouble so she couldn't make it.  I think she called to see back last night. I have to say Pat had a sideboard full of beautiful handmade cards, they look amazing all sat beside each other, you ladies are so amazing xxx

My card has been made totally from scratch, I used Stampin Up Touches of Texture stamp set...

A very versatile set, with which you can make lovely cards!
Lovely background images, its amazing how quickly a lovely 
Pattern fills the page. 
I stamped my background with the above die set, I then added  a small panel of silver card, to pick the Embossed silver dragonflies that were stamped in that background.  
To finish the card I added a Mirror Card mat behind my stamped focal point image, which is again a stamp from the above set,
I added a mirror card "DetailedDragonfly " die cut and a few green heart stones to finish my project.  
I hope you like it  xxx

I do hope our poorly girls on the blog feel better soon xxx 

I need to sit and craft today to get caught up and maybe do some more tutorials, what are you all up to??

Have a lovely day my dear friends,

Love and Hugs

Sandra 
Xxxxxxx

    Morning Everyone
    We are -6 temp this morning so a little on the cold side hehe and we need to go into Corbigny for one or two supplies which cannot wait until Friday Market.

    SANDRA- your card love absolutely beautiful. I love the Dragonflies they are such a delicate creature. It lovely to see a card created from scratch.

    PAT - lovely to see you had a good birthday and I didn't realise it was a special one so here are EXTRA BIG HUGS FOR YOU TODAY AND ANOTHER HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

    MARIA- thank you for giving the Ziz Zag a go and pleased you got the fold.

    DEAR FRIENDS - you don't have to use 300gsm (Maria found it a little too thick to fold) just as long as you use card which will stand easily when folded.

    I have to get some inserts into cards I've made (this is the job a like least in crafting) and then I need to photograph them and this week's CC to send off to SANDRA. Perhaps I can get the pics taken when I get back into the warmth after Corbigny and I've thawed out lol.

    Take care everyone. I hope that you're all beginning to feel a little better.
    I see the CAFE is lit up brightly so I'm not sure what Marigny Dobbie has done with the lighting! I hope he and Herman haven't been up to their tricks again lol.
    Hugs to you all are on their way. xxxx

      Hi Janet

    Hi Sandra and all in the Café today. I love your card today, from the delicate focal image and the lovely dragon fly to the background created by you. What a wonderful stamp set the Touches of Texture is, it has some really unusal stamps that are so useful ☺
    Janet, thank you for a wonderful tutorial yesterday, lovely and easy to follow. I am going to be having a go at it very soon. Wrap up when you venture out today, and don't forget the sticks please x
    Lynda, I hope all went well at the clinic yesterday, or is it today? I'm glad to hear your wrist is better though, or at least as good as it was before the stent surgery. Hugs to you and Terry x
    Lilian, I'm sorry that this flare up is a long one, sending healing hugs x

    I hope to get some crafting done today, I will be having a go at Janet's zig zag card. Yesterday was not a good one for me. It started with me waking up late, then my car decided not to start when I tried to set off to pick Sandra up to spend the day with birthday girl Pat. After a lot of waiting it ended up in the garage so a real wasted day, so frustrating. I was not a happy bunny and then to top yesterday off I see yesterday's comment has gone to join all of the other missing ones! I wonder if they will all suddenly appear one day? Now that would be interesting, wouldn't it!!! ☺

    I hope you all have a good day. Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for Lynda, Brenda, Lilian and all in need. Take care xx

    Lovely card SANDRA I am really keen to see you use Stampin Up products. Hope the meeting goes well MICHELE The sore throat has taken hold and so taking today off work as I can barely talk either. I think it's got my mojo and energy as well. Everything is such an effort. Hopefully, staying in the warm and Echinacea will nip it in the bud.
    The cafe looks lovely JANET

    Hello All, beautiful day here, bright blue sky and lovely sun shine, bit cold , towels out blowing.
    Sandra love your card, I have this set but find it difficult to use, in fact I have not made a card with them and I've had them ages.
    Just back from the dentist, had a small rough bit on the filling she did last year, so she has smoothed it off, no charge!!!!
    Hope you all have a lovely afternoon, hugs Lilian.

    Hi Sandra
    Yes, Sue did call in and bring my magnetic storage boxes from Hobbycraft. The assistant had a look to see if they had the extra inserts in but they didn't. When she looked on the computer one line said Discontinued. The other said Waiting for stock, so the assistant was a tad confused. I'm still awaiting an email from Hobbycraft telling me when there back in stock.
    As Sandra said a lovely array of cards are sitting on my sideboard.
    Love the card Sandra, green and yellow aren't really my colours, but I must admit to be warming a bit towards green.
    Hugs to all who need one today. Especially Brenda and Lynda and of course Terry.

    Hi Sandra and all,

    Beautiful card Sandra, love these dies and the colours you have used.
    I am going with our daughter to see Ciara and her classmates perform at the O2 with Young Voices. She is so excited, she was in last years performance and this is going to be her last opportunity as she is going to Snr school in September. I am wrapping up warm and will be traveling by car. Wouldn't be able to cope with public transport... yet.
    Will try and pop in later.
    Love and Hugs to all, Brenda xxx

      Hi Brenda
      How wonderful that Ciara is performing at the 02. Wonderful that you are able to go and watch. Our schools perform at Dorchester Abbey in Oxfordshire I hasten to add. Such a wonderful setting and a few schools all perform together. All learning the songs they're to perform separately and having just a few hours practise together before performing. Sophie and Livy used to perform. Sadly due to exams etc the didn't keep singing up after yr 10 due to homework and exams.

    Hi Sandra and crafty pals.

    This looks great I'd never have thought a stamp set could produce such a pretty card. Guess I don't look at the way things could come together. Plus I'm crap at stamping. Still haven't got round to doing any crafting as hubby an I are still trying to move the rooms around. It's amazing how much crap we have. There's only two of us in a 3 bedroom semi lol.

    Tomorrow I've an appt to see the breast consultant as another lump appeared on the opposite boob. I'm trying to not worry but I'm anxious about it. Dr didn't seem that concerned but like I said to her that's what was said the last time and it turned out to be cancer. It's only been just over the year since it was removed 😕 Anyways hopefully it'll just be a cyst.

    Lynda. I've not had a chance to play with my new stuff yet. But I hopefully will over the weekend before returning to work xx

    Love to all xx
