Wasn’t too sure about this stamp set when I first got it, but after using it at yesterdays Coffee and a Card, this afternoon I’ve had a little play and actually its quite versatile! The set is from the Spring Summer Occasions Catalogue and with a variety of sentiments as well as flowers/ corners/ decorative strips- its a good one for using alongside other sets.
These first two cards were cased from cards made by Toni Tessler.
I used Pacific Point and Balmy Blue for the blue card, and Blushing Bride and Lovely lipstick for the pink version. Its quite a forgiving card for a beginner as you can easily cover any mistakes with the featured cakes!
This next card combines two stamp sets from the Occasions catalogue…Amazing Life and Hello Cupcake
Call me Clover ( very apt I thought) is the main colour in these two Good Luck cards – the second one also using Crushed Curry
I then combined Amazing Life with last years Heart Happiness set and used Rich Razzleberry paper and ink to make a not too sloppy Valentines card!
And finally…..Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight (Blend Pens) and Pineapple Punch DSP (designer series Paper). I used the fabulous stamparatus to get the flowers evenly placed.
And this is what I love about Stampin’Up! One stamp set….lots of options and papers/inks/pens…..everything that co ordinates!
Don’t forget that for January, February and March. if you spend £45 across the annual or occasions catalogue you can choose from a range of free products in the Sale-a-bration catalogue. Want to find out more? Contact me

This weeks Coffee and a Card we played with butterflies!
Above are several variants of the same card, using the lovely Gingham Gala paper from the Occasions catalogue, and the free (with spends of over £45) Botanical Butterfly designer series paper and the (also free with spends over £45) organdy ribbon. The butterfly is punched from the Botanical Butterfly papers.
We also used the Butterfly gala stamp set with the co ordinating punch to make these;
We used blender pens with Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green ink to colour the butterflies.
These are so adaptable to fit almost any sentiment you may want to use.

Hello Cupcake stamp set is new this year…..and whats best of all is that it is FREE!!!
If you spend £45 or more across any of the current catalogues (annual or Spring /summer occasions), then this is one of the stamp sets you could choose to have for FREE!!
Its a gorgeous set that works well in many different colours. We made a couple at Coffee and a Card last week, and also I’ve since made a couple more to show you how well it works, what ever colour combo you choose!
This one is Grapefruit grove, lovely lipstick and sahara sand.
This shows how we decorated the inside…looks really pretty against the blueberry bushel card stock, using Lovely Lipstick, Call me clover, Blueberry bushel and Pineapple Punch ink pads…the beautiful 2018/18 Incolors.
This is using Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and the cake is stamped in Soft Suede.
And finally;
This one is in Mint Macaron, Berry Burst and Crumb Cake, and the sentiment was stamped using the Stamparatus to give perfect alignment
