Sneak Peek No. 4 - something from Sale-A-Bration

All the fun of Sale-A-Bration (SAB) 2015 starts on 6 January and I will be putting the catalogues along with the Spring/Summer catalogues in the post that day, or even on 5 January if I can get myself organised once I get home.

I have a few SAB products here with me - one of them is a stamp set called Simply Wonderful. It is a set of seven stamps and is really, really cute.

Here's one of the cards that I've made using it.



I wanted the card to co-ordinate with a matching gift card (made using the Gift Card Enclosure Pack) so the base card is made out of Kraft card stock.

Here's a photo of the card and gift card together.


Here's the inside of the Gift Card. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) comes from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack.


I used the same DSP on the front of the card too and used matching Stampin' Write marker pens to ink up the greetings and also the little flower image.

More information about Sale-A-Bration will be posted soon but both the SAB and Spring/Summer Catalogues can't be posted electronically on here until 6 January. Sorry, those are the rules. I don't make them and don't wish to break them either.

A Bit of a Flower Patch Frenzy

A couple of weeks ago I made a friend a card for her birthday.  I was going to post a photo of it on here once the big day was over, but realised yesterday that I had forgotten to take one.

As a result, I decided to remake the card. It's as close to the original as I could remember, and this is what I came up with.


I used a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack and layered a piece of Lost Lagoon on top that I had used the Striped Scallop Thinlits Die on. I went a little mad with stamping flowers in various colours, that I had enough left over to make another card (see below) and a 3D project that I will share with you another day.

For the second card, I turned it 90 degrees from the original, so that it was portrait. I used the Striped Scallop Thinlits Die only on the top 2/3rds of the Lost Lagoon card stock. The bottom portion of the Lost Lagoon is actually separate from the scallop top but I butted the two close together so that it looks like one piece.



The photo does not show the three scored lines very clearly, but they are there (towards the top of the solid piece of Lost Lagoon).

The Stampin' Up! supplies used to make these cards are:



As I said, I will share the 3D project another day.

It started with

a challenge. I was blog hopping yesterday and came across a challenge that took my fancy. I somehow also managed to loose a few hours in the process (no idea how that happened), and that was just the blog hopping!

I found the challenge on the Clean & Simple blog, and it was to use a large sentiment.


http://cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/300.html


I made what I thought to be a clean and simple card that meets the criteria, and this was what I came up with.


I did think that it looked too simple, so I then took it a stage further and made a stepped up version.


There are no winners for this challenge, it's just fun to take someone's basic idea and put your own spin on it.

Matching card

On Saturday, I posted my second tutorial on the Tutorial Page. This is the card that I made to go with the gift box.


I used matching card stock and Designer Series Paper so that the two co-ordinate.

People at Saturday's Open House were surprised by the size of the box once they saw it. I guess that they thought from the original photo that is was huge, despite me saying it was only 4" x 3" x 1"!

Anyway, here's a photo of the card and box together, so you can see for yourself.


The flower on the card was stamped using Memento Ink and then coloured using the Stampin' Up! Blendabilites. I've not been one for colouring in the past but I love the Blendabilites. Each colour comes in a pack of three - Light, Medium and Dark which makes colouring so easy. I even coloured the rhinestones on the card and on the box.

Don't forget, the tutorial for the box can be found under the Tutorial tab. I hope you give it a try and I would love to see what you make. You can post the photos on the Oakfield Crafts facebook page.

Hooray for Today

Today's project was made to go with box that I featured on the 1 July blog hop.

I am working on the tutorial for the box and it will be up by the end of Saturday (5 July), promise.






Apparently today is going to be the warmest days of the year so far. So glad that my craft room is in the basement where it's lovely and cool. I'm going to be down there most of the day working on the tutorial and also preparing for Saturday's New Catalogue Launch.

Today's projects was made using the following Stampin' Up! products.



Hope to see you at the Catalogue launch on Saturday and if you can't make it,  I will be posting some photos afterwards so you will get to see what went on.
