My Sweet Pea Workshop

Hi all,

Hope you're having a good weekend so far :) The ladies have been and gone and we had a lovely workshop making two cards using the My Sweet Pea stamp set. This little stamp set is from the Mini Catalogue, P. 12 and features five little stamps that co-ordinates lovely with a wheel, 12x12 paper stack of 48 double-sided designs and stitched felt embellishments.

Here are the two cards made in today's Workshop:

Sweet Pea Card 1 (Outside)


This card was inspired from the card we made at Reading back in March. This card is a gatefold card, with the 3rd flowers on both panels punched in the middle with the 3/4" circle punch so that Old Olive satin ribbon can be slipped through the punched circles and gathered into a bow at the front.

Stamps: My Sweet Pea, Sweet Stitches (wheel).
Cardstock: Rose Red and Whisper White.
Inkpad: Rose Red, Old Olive and So Saffron.
Accessories: 5/8" Satin Ribbon - Old Olive, 3/4" Circle Punch, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Paper Snips and Bone Folder.
Card Size: A6.


Sweet Pea Card 1 (Inside)

Here's the inside of the card - the Whisper White card insert has the Sweet Stitches wheel in Old Olive at the top and bottom of the cardstock. Old Olive satin ribbon is placed through the two 3/4" punched circles and laid flat so that the inked cardstock insert can be stuck over the satin ribbon to keep the ribbon in place.


The second card we made:

My Sweet Pea Card


This card above was a CASE from the one made at Reading. The colours have been substituted with colours of my choice :)

Stamps: My Sweet Pea and Basic Phrases (sentiment).
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Cameo Coral, Sage Shadow, So Saffron and Whisper White.
Inkpad: Chocolate Chip and So Saffron.
Accessories: 5/8" Satin Ribbon - Chocolate Chip, Scallop Edge Border Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Stampin' Write Marker - Sage Shadow, Mat Pack, Paper-Piercing Tool, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Paper Snips, Bone Folder and Dimensionals.
Card Size: A6.

My Sweet Pea Thank You Card

Hi all,

Really enjoying playing with my new stamp set, "My Sweet Pea" from the Mini Catalogue and have decided to use more colours out of my comfort zone to create a bright colourful card! lol. Isn't it typical, once you know you're not going to be able to buy certain colours again, you start to use them more? After 31 September, most of the colours I've used on this card will be retired, with the exception of Tempting Turquoise :)

Here's the card using My Sweet Pea


Stamps: My Sweet Pea, Oval All (sentiment).
Cardstock: Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore, Pink Passion, Only Orange, Pixie Pink and Whisper White.
Inkpad: Green Galore, Pink Passion, Only Orange. Versamark Stamp Pad.
Accessories: Stampin' Writer Marker - Tempting Turquoise and Pink Passion, 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon - Whisper White, 1" Circle Punch 1-1/4" Circle Punch, Small Tag Punch, Tag Punch, Rhinestone Brads - Circle Ice, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, SU Bone Folder, Paper Snips and 3D dimensionals.
Card Size: A6.­

Have a good day, thanks for popping by.

My Sweet Pea Card

Hi all,

Hope you're having a good weekend so far and have been enjoying the lovely warm weather we've been having recently :)

Yesterday I decided to play with my new stamp set from the UK Mini called "My Sweet Pea" which is on P.12. At first I overlooked this one from the Mini Catalogue, but after seeing it at the Reading Training Day when our customers played with it in the evening to make three projects, I realised I just had to get it as it fits so nicely with the co-ordinating Sweet Stitches wheel, Designer Series Papers and Stitched Felt embellishments :)

So, after buying the stamp set and Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper stack - which is really gorgeous by the way, I decided to case one of the sheets of double sided paper (see below) to recreate into a greeting card.

Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack


My Sweet Pea Card


I have to say, these are not my normal colours that I would reach for! I've not christened Taken With Teal cardstock or ink pad till yesterday and I've had both for well over year! lol. This has really been fun to try out new colours :)

To replicate the Designer Series Paper, I decided to keep with the same colours for the card above. I stamped the Pumpkin Pie and Pink Passion stamps onto Whisper White cardstock, cut out with my paper snips and added dimensionals for a raised look. The middle flower is stamped straight onto the Whisper White cardstock in Taken With Teal ink, then stamped and punched Old Olive cardstock and centred in the middle of the flower with another dimensional.

I have used Just Perfect Alphabet stamp set for the "hi" sentiment in the right hand corner and have layered them with oval punches.

Stamps: My Sweet Pea, Just Perfect Alphabet (sentiment).
Cardstock: Taken With Teal, Old Olive and Whisper White.
Inkpad: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red.
Accessories: Stampin' Writer Marker - Taken With Teal and Old Olive, 3/4" Circle Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, SU Bone Folder, Paper Snips and 3D dimensionals.
Card Size: A6.­

Thanks for stopping by, if you have time please leave a message.

Enjoy the rest of the sunshine...
