SU! Creations

[MaryAnne]

This is for the sharing of work only. No SU! promotion will be allowed. If you want to PM someone for more info, do so. If the sponsors that sell SU want to respond to a post asking for info they may do so - no consultant who is not a sponsor may post, may say "I've PMed you" may say "PM me"

No listing of SU specific supplies.

I think I explain a bit better why this is the way it is here. (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?p=5068703#post5068703)

[Hysteri-CAL]

So can no-one even give the name of a stamp set ?? :o

[MaryAnne]

See, I knew I wasn't being clear :)

Yes, by all means mention the stamps - even by name! and feel free to say "Circle Punch" or "flower punch" just not "SU Spring flower punch item # 332" if you know what I mean.

[Hysteri-CAL]

Aaaah right ... i'm with you now.

Thanks for clearing that up MA xx

[Shoplime]

found the new thread...bookmarking :)

[passionflower]

Thank you MA for explaining what we can and cannot say on this thread.:wub: I hope you guys will still post your creations using SU stash on here, I am sharing one of my latest cards made for my sweet sister.

Kraft Card stock, Sage Shadow, Chocolate Chip were the colours used, flower made with the scallop punch and ball tool. TFL M xxx

[TwinTrouble]

Gorgeous Card Monica... I bet your sister loved it:wub:

Loving the colour combo... working with similar on a Canvas Layout:)

[The_Lady_Boz]

Love the colours used! Going to try this combo somehow for a wedding card as these are the colours of their wedding theme.

[maggiemae]

no consultant who is not a sponsor may post, may say "I've PMed you" may say "PM me"

So does that mean I can't post my cards on this thread? What about in the gallery? Should I remove anything that has SU in it? Don't want to be breaking any rules...thanks MaryAnne

ETA - Gorgeous card Monica - love those colours together.

[Elin]

Maggie you can post your cards and do like Monica has done - say 'scallop punch' ect.

We are allowed to say anything we want about manufacturers as they in general aren't retailers so we can buy the stuff from many places. With SU they are also retailers holding the sole selling rights so by saying the stuff is from them we are advertising it - and they're not paying the sponsorship fees. It would be much easier if they could be persuaded to sponsor the site:wacko:

[Bryn]

Monica, that card is just gorgeous!

[Hysteri-CAL]

Stunning card Monica, is there a tut about making those flowers ??? :lol:

[passionflower]

[aurora]

Inspired by cards on SCS and a download from UStamp, I made a 'boxed' set of cards yesterday for someone on UKS so can't post a picci yet, but made another set this afternoon...

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/dawnwicks/DoodleThisPurpleset.jpg

The Box
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/dawnwicks/DoodleThisPurpleBox.jpg

Two of each of the following cards
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/dawnwicks/DoodleThisPurple1.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/dawnwicks/DoodleThisPurple2.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/dawnwicks/DoodleThisPurple3.jpg

Used SU 'Doodle This' stamp, water coloured with pens and pencils trying to get the right combo. Most card stock was already in the cupboard (Bazzil), Patterned paper 'Pocket Full of Posies' (DCWV), 1/4" circle punch, 3/8" circle punch, Scallop Circle Punch, eyelet punch, ribbon & coloured self adhesive gems.

[Gadget Monkey]

Lovely cards, keep meaning to make a box set but never had time, yours are an inspiration..

[aurora]

Took me about 4 hrs yesterday but because I pretty much copied those today it took me around 3 - 3.5hrs today. Problem is I like them so much I don't want to give them away ...

[passionflower]

Oh my GOD!!! those are just gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous :wub:

[Fifi-T]

I posted this on the social group, but for good measure put it here too :)

http://web.mac.com/fionadickinson/Fifi-Ts/Blog/Entries/2008/8/6_You’re_Invited_files/shapeimage_2.jpg

Details on my blog (http://web.mac.com/fionadickinson/Fifi-Ts/Blog/Entries/2008/8/6_You’re_Invited.html), an SU stamp and just very simple really.

[~natasha~]

auroa... omg they are totally amazing. I wasnt going to join ustamp but if I could get to make them I think I might just join ;)

fifi... wow that has so much detail love it.

Well here is a card from me. Monica sent me some 'bits' 2 card, 1 paper and some ribbon and challenged me to make a card with it using a su set. And this is what I produced, used the bundle of joy set :wub:

I'm loving all these creations. So much talent on this board. I tried something a little different with my Loads of Love set yesterday. I love this set and it has been so useful already.
I used the tree and some UTEE to make a simple Christmas card. I'm sorry that I don't know how to add a picture but it's on my blog.
Thanks if you take the time to look. :)
My other SU creations are hiding in there as well. :D Just look under Stamping Up in the labels on the LHS.

[maggiemae]

Gorgeous card Dawn

I saw the idea of using the round punch tab to make little handbags on someone's US blog a while ago (but unfortunately can't remember the name to give credit :( ) However when my new Totally Tabs set arrived I thought they were just perfect for making these little bags.

[Gadget Monkey]

Lovely cards Dawn and Maggie, love your card too Light, haven't got round to using that stamp set yet though....

[DawnS]

Very pretty Bekka, really like the colours you have used.
Can I ask what they are please:)

How did you do the scallops on your mini album Linda, it is very neatly done.
I still have to get my BIA out of its box still.

[Lighthousegirl]

Hi Dawn

It was made with tempting Turquise and Ruby Red. The butterfly paper is by Jennie Bowlin (I think)

Glad you like it - it is a combination I am loving at the moment and am doing Shemelle's Learn Somthing New Every Day album in the same combination.

[DawnS]

It is lovely, must give that colour combo a go:)

[*alena*]

Lovely cards aurora and mumoftwins

[DawnS]

Thought I would try out the circle mini book which was on the UKS home page.
Thanks to Annette West/Voodoo Vixen the instructions were easy to follow.
Made it for a workshop sample instead of cards for a change.
All supplies Stampin Up.

[Gadget Monkey]

I love that album Dawn, and I love those papers too. I do have them here but haven't used them yet...

Here is my latest card... You may notice the Happy Unbirthday... I have an order for 12 Happy Unbirthday cards...

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s166/LindaLloyd/resistemboss.jpg

[Sharon Betts]

Gadget fab use of bright colours - lovely card

[Gadget Monkey]

Here is another card I made using a Stampin Up Hostess set (from the old catalogue). Not sure I like the font on the sentiment, so will probably re-do this and then stick it over the top with black and pumpkin pie matting...

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s166/LindaLloyd/OrangeUnbirthday.jpg

[Sharon Betts]

Another fab card Gadget - how have you coloured the background?

[Sharon Betts]

These are some bookmarks made by my children. top - ds1 (7), middle ds2 (6) and bottom is dd (2). All right, I helped with dd bookmark, but the stamping is all hers. She also did the stamping on the back of the bookmark too. Not bad for a 2yr old, and she really enjoyed it too.

All ds2 idea, as he watched Monicas tutorial and wanted to make one. So thanks for the tut Monica:thanks:.

[Gadget Monkey]

Awww Sharon they are excellent, better than I can stamp sometimes... they should be proud of themselves....

Another fab card Gadget - how have you coloured the background?

If you check out www.purelystamping.blogspot.com it tells you how to make the card...

[Sharon Betts]

Thanks - will have to give that a go - the intensity of colour and the way it shades is really lovely.

[madhattermillie]

These are some bookmarks made by my children. top - ds1 (7), middle ds2 (6) and bottom is dd (2). All right, I helped with dd bookmark, but the stamping is all hers. She also did the stamping on the back of the bookmark too. Not bad for a 2yr old, and she really enjoyed it too.

All ds2 idea, as he watched Monicas tutorial and wanted to make one. So thanks for the tut Monica:thanks:.

They are gorgeous & well done DS2:wub:

i have done a couple of bits this week, thought i would share!

Jo the pumpkins are fab:)

[TwinTrouble]

Jo... they are amazing:wub:

[aurora]

I love all the recent cards, looking forward to receiving my next order. Scallop punch should arrive this week :D

[Sharon Betts]

I was looking at what I want for making my Christmas cards, and it comes to a small fortune. I could save soooo much if I just bought some on the high street! But where would the fun be in that?

[maggiemae]

LOL Halloween is on the way - that's a great way to use the tag punches Jo
I made a pumpkin using strips of paper inspired by US demo Dawn Griffiths

There's also a little tutorial on my blog (http://thefineartofstampin.blogspot.com/)showing how to use the scallop circle punch to cut out sentiments like the word window punch

I love your pumpkin Maggie, wished I had not chucked my crimpers now.:rolleyes:

[taniaj]

[Sharon Betts]

Another fab pumpkin!

[ann4browneyes]

Maggie that is so fab and cute.

[kara]

oh Maggie, that pumpkin is so cute, i can just imagine a wee row of them along a window sill

[maggiemae]

Thanks guys *waves hello to Tania* Expect to see some creations of yours on here soon :)

Anne - love that photo in your avatar - you look so proud of your boys :) Was great to catch up with Elaine again in Glasgow last month - I think we have the same sense of humour :D

Majella picked up some crimpers for me (thanks M :wub: )and brought them to the SU demo - they were only £1.99 - I will have to ask her where she got them from - I got them to make the little sour cream style containers

[mumoftwins!]

I'm starting to get a bit braver with my colours.... here are a couple using the Season of Joy set

[dipurves]

I love your Pumpkin Maggie, will have to give it a try :)

[Sharon Betts]

Mumoftwins those are lovely - I so want that set, will order soon, and then I can play too.

Have you tried Hobbycraft as I picked up a 8.5" wide one for about £2.99 but it was BOGOF so got a punch as well! :)

Gorgeous work girls, I see everyone is busy for Halloween and Christmas...

I am giving it away on my blog as blogcandy...

[Edna]

I've just made my first Crazy for cupcakes card. It's on the blog as I'm still clueless about how to get the piccies here.
Cupcake crazy (http://www.ednasplace.blogspot.com) Scroll down a wee bit! :)

[persephone]

Love it Edna. Also love the first card there- live it wide lol

[Gadget Monkey]

Gorgeous card Edna....

[Yorkiegirl]

I made some cards with perfect presents, they are on my blog, here (http://annasgirls.blogspot.com/2008/10/gardening-and-card-making.html)
I was over the moon to see my cards and blog mentioned on the front page of UKS! :D

[persephone]

gorgeous Anna

[madhattermillie]

fabulous Jo

[Sharon Betts]

What a fantastic little book! This is another kit I have my eye on!

[Gadget Monkey]

That is so gorgeous Jo, I have that kit sitting here waiting to use...

[taniaj]

wow Jo the maze book is really great Tx

[madhattermillie]

Aww thanks!

Another card i made today is . . .

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk24/ScrapCV/Stampin%20Up/7bd765a2.jpg

Used the rubons on it - love them!

[Sharon Betts]

Those are lovely Jo - that 2 step stamp set works really nicely. Beautiful simple card.

[Gadget Monkey]

I made a little test tube holder today, using Stampin Up cardstock and some of the punches....

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s166/LindaLloyd/Testtube.jpg

Hmm, sorry its so big folks, not sure why...

[Sharon Betts]

I love the bat - how did you fold him?

[Gadget Monkey]

He is a scallop square, fold in half diagonally, then cut slightly down each side and bend the top corners of the cut bit backwards to form the ears... If you can look at him and imagine his ears unbent, this might help....

[Sharon Betts]

Oh yes, now that you say fold in half I can see it - very clever. Sorry, should have said the whole thing looks good, but was very taken by the bat and got carried away:P:lol:.

[~natasha~]

Evening all, fab makes everyone. Havent been around for ages as I have been having a mental block when it comes to anything crafty especially card making. Anyways I finally cracked it tonight and I have designed my 2008 christmas card. I hope you like him :wub: approx 48 more to make :lol:

[TwinTrouble]

Jo... Love those cards and the colour scheme is great too!:wub:

Linda... absolutely love the little bat and what a fantastic little gift idea too!:wub:

Natasha... the card is simply gorgeous!:wub:
I know what you mean about a mental crafting block as i'm having one at the moment but I think I know why... I have to make a whole heap of different Christmas Cards for a Sheltered Housing Complex and they have complained about other cardmakers in the past charging £2 etc for a card so trying to make cards that I can charge less for but it's sent my Mojo running:lol:

[Sharon Betts]

Linda, I'm addicted to making the little critters now. And some of them are popping up around my house. Doing crafts for toddlers tomorrow, spooky woods - basically some sticks stuck to black card with googly eyes and a moon. Now they will have bats too - I've been happily cutting and folding this afternoon and have a small colony of bats waiting to be plastered with pva, be given some eyes and set loose in the spooky woods! I will take some photos tomorrow in daylight. However, no square scallop punch, but seems to work with the round one just as well.
So a big :thanks: for sharing that one.

[Gadget Monkey]

That sounds excellent Sharon, unfortunately the idea was not mine, it was found on Splitcoast Stampers, but not sure who to credit the original design to as there are so many of them about now...

[Gadget Monkey]

My first Christmas Card.... lol


http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s166/LindaLloyd/Christmas_Flower2.jpg

[butterbee]

Linda the card is fab - love the glitter on the rose:)

[Gadget Monkey]

Okay, hopefully this image is smaller, will re-do my last post in a minute too...

Forgot to say Natasha, I love your card, have fun making 48 more.... or maybe you have finished making them already.... lol

Here is my latest card using the same stamp set as before, it is official, I love this stamp set....

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s166/LindaLloyd/Rose.jpg

[madhattermillie]

Wow, lovely cards!

Guys, there is a new Stampin Up! Challenge blog started - its all new and shiny and you are all welcome to play along - www.inkandrubber.blogspot.com


We are looking for Demonstrators to set challenges and non-demonstrators to join the 'dream team' Come and see what its all about!

[mumoftwins!]

Here is the card I have made for the challenge (see Jo's post above)

http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/picture.php?albumid=1124&pictureid=9221

The colours aren't at all how they are in real life.... stamps used are from the True Friend set, card stock used is Naturals ivory (for the base), close to cocoa for the band, and scallops are c to c again + barely banana, flower is coloured with SU! markers & chocolate chip ribbon.... oh, and the words are from the Best Yet hostess set.

Thanks for looking
Tara

[Sharon Betts]

Thats pretty mumoftwins

[Gadget Monkey]

Lovely card Tara, but you are right about the colours not being right, the close to cocoa looks lilac.... but great anyway...

[mumoftwins!]

If I can tweak it I will, I took piccies with my camera as I was rushing out the door this morning and the flash made it look really bright! Then when I got to work a colleague took this picture (above) and it looks completely wrong! If my version at home looks better then I'll re-upload... it's bizarre how much difference the light makes!

[madhattermillie]

how odd with those colours! still the card looks fab!

[~natasha~]

Ohhh I wish you would all stop posting cards with all those lush bloom stamps ;) my wish list is growing by the day :lol: Keep up the good work though they are all fab. I especially like yours gadget with all the scollops and mumoftwins that card looks lovely, very fresh and simple :).

well I have finally found some mojo, and I have made another card, better than that uterlly pants christmas card (see my blog for reasons why etc), I cant believe I post so much rubbish on this great thread. Anyways hope this makes up for it. I must say though I used a sketch, so none of it is my own work. But hey at least I am making cards again ^_^

[madhattermillie]

thats really cute! i love what you did with the beads!!

[aurora]

Love that card Natasha

[Yorkiegirl]

I have mounted all the ATCs I received for a swap on ILWS, all done with SU, onto a canvas to go on the wall in my scrap room

[~natasha~]

Awww wow yorkie. I would love to do an atc swap based around stampin up products :) Hope it looks fab on your wall ;)

Anyways to prove to myself the design of the christmas card (you know the pants one a few posts back) actualy works, I tryed it today this time matted. It does work and I love it :P

[madhattermillie]

natasha that stands out so much better! i liked the other one, but this blows it out of the water!

[dizzyblonde82]

Lovely card Natasha :) I went back and looked at your other card again and this one looks so much better with the matting :)

[Sharon Betts]

Like the cards and atcs.

[dizzyblonde82]

Ive just made this (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=178048&cat=500)mini christmas card :) thought it would be nice to send to the other children at my sons nursery :)

[~natasha~]

ohh sarah, I love it. I have always liked to look of that set, simple but effective.

I have also finished my main xmas cards 08 :) I have attached some images but the main bit is on my blog. They are all lifts of the birthday one I made a few days ago.

[dizzyblonde82]

Wow Natasha! You have been busy :lol: Love the card design :)

[Yorkiegirl]

Here's my latest, a card I made with Christ is Born.
Holiday Treasures paper
always artichoke ribbon
old olive ink
hodge podge hardware brads and ribbon slide.

[Sharon Betts]

Thats lovely Yorkiegirl - really must get on and do mine. Have had a little play, but not entirely happy with the design yet.

[aurora]

Made a birthday card last night for a friend at work. I love this colour combo at the moment :wub:

I also love your Christ Is Born card, I have that set also and haven't made anything with it yet...
