Springtime Impressions Thinlits

Hello,

I have used some “old” and “new” products on this card. The new catalogue is live tomorrow (1st June) and as I love butterflies couldn’t resist using this gorgeous one from the Springtime Impressions Thinlits (#146326).

I cut the butterfly from the (retiring) Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper (#144118) as well as Basic Black card (#121688) and attached these together with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment is from the Cake Soirée stamp set (#c145745, #w145521) and stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) on Whisper White card (#106549). I punched this with the 1-3/8” Scallop Circle (#146139), then the Basic Black circle was cut with a die from the Layering Circles Framelits (#141705). I used the Pretty Label punch (#143715) for the DSP and Basic Black under the circles. The base card is Crushed Curry (#131288). I embossed on the Whisper White card front using a die from the Petals & More thinlits (#145655). This is achieved by using the new Big Shot Embossing Mat (#146327). This allows you to use your detailed dies for embossing as well as cutting. I added splotches to the background using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush  (#141897) and Crushed Curry ink on an Aqua Painter (#103954). I finished the card by adding sequins from the Iridescent Assortment (#144212) to the butterfly and the card front.

Have a great day.

Tranquil Textures Suite

Hi Ladies & Guys,

I am sure you are just as excited as me waiting for the new catalogue. I have another sneak peek today. This card was made at a team day put on by Kim Gavarra with a couple of little additions. Thanks Kim. The Tranquil Textures suite is just beautiful and will be great for a variety of cards for everyone.

The Sea Of Textures stamp set (#c146488, #w146485) and the Under the Sea Framelits (#146334) are available in a bundle - Sea of Textures bundle (#c148358, #w148357) which of course means a 10% saving. Fresh Fig card (#144248) was used for the base. Then I mounted the DSP from the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper (#146331) onto a piece of Night Of Navy card (#106577). I cut the pieces on the sides from Vellum Cardstock (#106584) using a die from the Under the Sea framelits. This was cut in half before assembling on the card. I stamped the seaweed images on the DSP with Night Of Navy ink (#147110) and Fresh Fig ink (#147144). The octopus was stamped with Night Of Navy and cut with the co-ordinating die. I also cut the seaweed and starfish from Tranquil Tide card (#147146) and Night of Navy card. I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the blue parts of the octopus. The sentiment is stamped with Fresh Fig onto Whisper White card (#106549), then attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used Dimensionals and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) for the octopus and Mini Glue Dots (#103686) for the seaweed and starfish.

Have a great day.

Rooted In Nature Bundle

Hello everyone,

Today I have a sneak peek of one of the Bundles in the new annual catalogue which is available from 1st June. There are so many exciting new products, I don’t know where to start. The Rooted In Nature bundle (#c148353, #w148352) has so many possibilities, so I just couldn’t resist using this.

The Rooted In Nature stamp set (#c146482, #w146479) has16 stamp images and the Nature’s Roots Framelits Dies (#146341) has 12 dies, so most of the images have co-ordinating dies. Another great feature is that the leaves, which I have used on this card, can be cut, then embossed for a great texture. I cut the leaves from Shaded Spruce card (#147165). After embossing the texture, using the new Big Shot Embossing Mat (#146327), I rubbed VersaMark (#102283) over the leaves, then sprinkled them with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), which was then heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This shows up the veins of the embossed leaf nicely. The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550) as well as the square and banner for the sentiment. I embossed the Wood Textures 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper  (#144177) using the Pinewood Planks 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder(#143708), then I lightly sanded the DSP to reveal the “grain in the timber”. I stamped the piece of wood using Crumb Cake ink (#147116) then cut the square with the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372) and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). The DSP under the sentiment is from Nature’s Poem (#146338). The little branch is also stamped with Shaded Spruce ink and cut with a die from the Nature’s Roots framelits. This was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The new Big Shot Embossing Mat is fantastic, as it will allow you to use any of the detailed framelits for embossing, and who doesn’t like being able to use a product for more than one thing!! I am sure there will be lots of other things we can do with it. I just need some time to experiment with it.

I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Birthday Wishes for You

Hello again,

Life is a bit busy at the moment with looking after 2 grandsons for 10 days, so another quick and easy card.

I have stamped Happy Birthday onto the Tutti-fruity 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (#145606). This sentiment is from the Birthday Wishes For You stamp set (#c145742, #w145739). I stamped this with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708), then re-stamped again with VersaMark (#102283), added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) and heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used the Stamparatus (#148187) to stamp this which allows you to stamp perfectly on top of each other with both inks. The bee is cut with a die from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits (#142749) from Basic Black card (#121688) and glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The ribbon is Basic Black 3/8” Shimmer Ribbon (#144129).

Enjoy your day.

(Backup) Punches

Hello,

Punches are a quick and convenient way to cut out your images. Stampin’ Up! have some that co-ordinate with stamped images and others can be used alone.

“Just Because” is from A Good Day stamp set (#c145873, #w145870) and stamped with Garden Green ink (#126973) on Whisper White card (#106549). This was punched with the 1-3/8” Scallop Circle Punch (#146139). The Real Red card (#106578) under the sentiment is cut with a die from the Layering Circles Framelits (#141705). The Tailored Tag Punch (#145667) was used to punch the Lemon Lime Twist (#144250) and the Garden Green card (#108605). The 3 banners were punched with the Banner Triple Punch (#138292). The Real Red card was also embossed with the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#145648). The designer series paper is from the Tutti -fruity 6” x 6” DSP (#145606). 

The countdown is on for the release of the new annual catalogue which is available to order from on 1st June. Looking forward to sharing some of the exciting new products with you soon. Let me know if you live in Australia and would like a catalogue.

Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack

Hi again friends,

The Memories and More card pack I have used today is Petal Passion (#145592). These packs are so versatile and you can make easy cards or add extra to them for a bit fancier card.

I chose Powder Pink card (#144251) for the base as this co-ordinates with the designer paper from the card pack. I attached this to Basic Black card (#121688). The flowers are from the sticker sheet from the same pack. These could also be coloured using various colouring tool, such as Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Write Markers, Watercolour Pencils, Blender Pens and ink, or left as they are.. Isn’t it great to have options. Thank You is from the Petal Palette stamp set (#c145788, #w145785) and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This was cut with a die from the Petals & More Thinlits Dies (#145655), as was the Basic Black detailed cutout under the sentiment. I sponged around the label with Powder Pink ink (#144084), then attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Hope you are having a great day, doing what you enjoy doing!

Rose Garden Thinlits

Hello friends,

The Rose Garden Thinlits (#140619) have been used on todays card to cut this beautiful flower.

I cut the Berry Burst card (#144248) with the largest framelit from this set. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to splatter some glitter to the background (much more visible on the actual card). Next I added a piece of Wild Wasabi card (#111850) inside the front of the card. Then I cut the framelit again from Pink Pirouette card (#116203), which I had adhered the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet (#144106) and attached this detailed image on top of the Wild Wasabi card. I then cut the flower part of the framelit from the Myths & Magic 6” x 6” Glimmer Paper (#145601), and piece by piece glued this in place on the flower with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The sentiment from the Rose Wonder stamp set (#140697) was stamped with Berry Burst ink (#144083) and cut with a die from the Rose Garden Thinlits. Iridescent Sequins (#144212) were added to the label, then this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

I hope you are having a great weekend. I spent the day at a team day and had great fun playing with new products from the upcoming catalogue. I will share these cards with you soon. If you are in Australia and would like a catalogue, please contact me.

Sweet Cupcake

Welcome everyone,

Highlighting framelits again, I have used 3 sets of Framelits on today’s card.

I attached the Basic Black card (#121688) to the Whisper White base card (#106549), then on top of this added the Naturally Eclectic Card Overlay (#144188). This overlay is Acetate with 3 designs in white or gold. I used one of the gold designs. The base of the cupcake is stamped from the Sweet Cupcake stamp set (#p141498). I stamped one image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Real Red Card (#106578). The base and top of the cupcake as well as the candle are all cut with dies from the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits (#141474). The Designer Series Paper I used for the top of the cupcake is from the Tutti Fruiti 6”x6” DSP. The candle is stamped with Real Red ink (#126949). The circle is cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372). “Birthday” is from the Happy Birthday Thinlits (#143700), I just cut “happy” off the top. “Wish” is from the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits. I cut these words in both Basic Black card and Real Red card. I had adhered the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet (#144106) to the card before cutting. The words were put together, just offsetting them slightly to get a shadow effect. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attached the top of the cupcake to the card. I don’t think you can see it very well, but I added glimmer to the cupcake with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897).

Have a fantastic day.

Sunshine & Rainbows Bundle

Hi,

 I have a grandaughter or two that I know will just love this card using the Sunshine & Rainbows Bundle (#p145983). I have used 3 sets of Framelits for this card.

I used the Lemon Lime Twist card (#144250) for the base and the Glimmer Paper is from the Myths & Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#145600). I stamped the rainbow and sun with images from the Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set (#p145821).  Each colour of the rainbow is a separate image and with the photopolymer stamps it is sometimes difficult to get them the exact shape if you are wanting to cut them with the framelits. So the best way I have found to get them perfect is to actually place the stamp on the framelit, then attach the stamp to the block, remove the framelit, then you are ready to stamp. Then you can cut it perfectly with the framelit. The colours I used for the rainbow are Real Red (#126949), Pumpkin Pie (#126945), Daffodil Delight (#126944), Wild Wasabi (#126959), Marina Mist (#126962), Wisteria Wonder (#126985) and Elegant Eggplant (#126969). The sun is stamped with Daffodil Delight and the sentiment with Lemon Lime Twist (#144086). The sentiment is from the Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set (#p145821) and the clouds & rainbow are cut with the Rainbow Builder Framelits Dies (#145659). The sentiment was cut with a die from the Petals & More Thinlits (#145655). The unicorn from the Magical day stamp set (#c145857, #w145854) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708), then coloured with Dark Pink Pirouette and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. This was then cut with the Magical Mates Framelits (#145660). The Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes (#145632) were added to the card. The teardrop shapes are perfect for raindrops.

Have a great day.

Bloomin’ Hearts Thinlits

Hi Ladies & Guys,

Over the next few days I am going to highlight some of the Framelits, and today I have used the gorgeous Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits (#140621).

I have used the Shimmery White card (#121717) only, which is my favourite card for special occasions as it has a beautiful shimmer. The Bloomin’ Hearts Thinlits have cut the heart and the flowers. I sponged the flowers with Powder Pink ink (#144084) before attaching them to the heart with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiments from the Floral Phrases stamp set (#c141767, #w141764) were also stamped with Powder Pink ink. The heart was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) as well as Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I coloured the Rhinestone Basic Jewels with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends (#144044) before adding them to the flowers.

This is a very simple but elegant card, which I am sure any bride would love to receive. 

Have an amazing day.

The card stock is Whisper White (#106549), Basic Black (#121688) and Real Red (#106578). The Designer Series Paper is from the Tutti-Fruiti 6x6” DSP (#145606). The base card is cut at 21cm x 10cm and scored at 7cm. The black card is 9.5cm x 13cm and the smaller white card is 8.5cm x 21cm and scored at 12cm. The DSP is 8.5cm x 8cm. The Real Red square is cut with a die from the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372).

The left flap is embossed with Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#145648). The square was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Flower Shop

Hello everyone,

The Flower Shop stamp set (#c130942, #w130939) and co-ordinating Pansy Punch (#130698) are both retiring so I couldn’t resist making another card with them. It’s funny when you have an idea for a card and the final results are nothing like your original design. This is what happened with this card.

The flowers were stamped onto Very Vanilla card (#106550), using VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) for one flower. The other 2 flowers were stamped with VersaMark as well as Pool Party ink (#126982), then embossed with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130). The Stamparatus makes this very easy, as after I stamp with the VersaMark, I can then re-ink the stamp with the coloured ink and re-stamp in the exact place, then add the Emboss Powder then heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The card front was stamped around the edges with an image from the Timeless Textures stamp set (#140517, #w140514) using Pool Party ink. This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The Pool Party card (#124391 was cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372). The leaf is from the Painted Harvest stamp set (#p144783) and punched with the Leaf Punch (#144667). This was Gold Embossed the same as the flower. The gold flower and large square were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaf was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#144108). I finished the card by gluing Gold Sequins from the Metallics Assortment (#144214) with the Fine Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

Have a great day.

Daisy Delight Bundle

Welcome again,

The Daisy Delight Bundle (#p145361) consists of the Daisy Delight stamp set (#143669) and the Daisy Punch (#143713) and have used them for this flower.

The base card is Lemon Lime Twist (#144250), then followed by Soft Suede card (#119982), then Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper (#144125). I stamped the daisy twice with Lemon Lime Twist ink (#144086), then punched with the Daisy punch. This was put together with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430), then I adhered a Gold Faceted Gem (#144141) to the centre.  For the sentiment I cut this beautiful label with a die from the Sweet Cake Framelits (#145617), then stamped the Happy Birthday from the Cake Soirée stamp set (#c145745, #w145521) with Lemon Lime Twist ink.  The leaves are also cut with a die from the Sweet Cake Framelits. These were glued to the card with the Fine Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The ribbon is the 1/4” Copper Trim (#144179).

I hope you have a day doing what you love.

Sweet Little Something

Hello friends,

This little bunny is so cute and great for baby cards. It is from the Sweet Little Something stamp set (#p145848) and is a 3 step stamp.

I stamped the bunny with Early Espresso ink (#126974), Soft Suede ink (#126978) and Crumb Cake ink (#126975). Stamping with the Stamparatus works perfectly to get all the images in the correct position. It isn’t long to wait now to be able to order the Stamparatus which will be available from the 1st June from the new catalogue. The ovals were cut with the Layering Oval Thinlits (#141706). The cardstock is Pink Pirouette (#116203) and Whisper White (#106549). I embossed the card front with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#139672) but used the de-embossed side. The sentiment is stamped with Pink Pirouette ink (#126956) and is from the Sweet Little Something stamp set. The hearts are cut with the Sweet and Sassy Framelits (#141707) and I added the Metallic Enamel Shapes (#141678) to the hearts. These gold & silver shapes come in hearts, stars and circles. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the hearts and the bunny to the card.

I wish all the Mothers a Happy Mothers Day, and hope you can share it with your loved ones.

Birthday Delivery Bundle

Hello,

How cute and colourful is this card using products from the Birthday Delivery Bundle (#p145294). What I love about this bundle is that the Framelits not only co-ordinate with the stamp set but also the Designer Series Paper.

The base card is Daffodil Delight (#121680) and the circle and the detailed border piece are Real Red (#106578). The fox and the flag are both cut from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper (#144118) using the Birthday Friends Framelits Dies (#143658). The yellow and blue designer paper are also from the same pack. I cut the circle with the Layering Circles Framelits (#141705), then embossed with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#139672). Happy Birthday is from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set (#c139471, #w139167) and stamped with Pacific Point ink (#126951), then cut with a die from the Petals & More Thinlits (#145655). The die to cut the Real Red detailed piece was also from this set.  Hip Hip Hooray is from the Birthday Delivery stamp set (#p143660) and also stamped with Pacific Point ink. Happy birthday, the fox and the flag were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).        

Have a great weekend.

Foxy Friends

Hi,

Whoops! I was going to make kids cards this week and didn’t do one yesterday, so here is my kids card today using the cute Foxy Friends stamp set (#p141549).

The card front is Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack (#144177). You will pleased to hear that this DSP is returning in the new catalogue. I embossed the DSP with the Pinewood Planks 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#143708). I then sandpapered the embossed paper which removes the colour from the raised areas which shows the woodgrain. This was attached to the Pumpkin Pie card (#108601). I stamped the fox with Pumpkin Pie ink (#126945) on Whisper White card (#106549), then cut this with the Layering Squares Framelits (#141708). Happy Birthday from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set (#p143662) was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink, then punched with the Classic Label punch (#141491). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The square were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used the Burlap Ribbon (#141487) and the little leaves are cut with a die from the Sweet Cake Framelits Dies (#145617) and glued with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

Enjoy your day.

Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies

Hello again,

It’s getting late and I am running out of time again (as usual), so here is another easy card.

I attached the Color Theory Designer Series Paper (#144193) to the Whisper White card (#106549). The gold design strip is from the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers (#144150). I cut the medallion with a die from the Eastern Medallions Thinlits (#143725) using the Myths & Magic 6” x 6” Glimmer paper (#145601). Then I stamped the sentiment from A Good Day stamp set (#c145873, #w145870) with Berry Burst ink (#144083). This was cut with another die from the Eastern Medallions thinlits and a circle from the Layering Circles Framelits (#141705), then attached to the larger medallion with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a great day.

Balloon Celebration

Hi everyone,

After doing a week with various Designer Series Paper cards, I thought this week I would concentrate on kids cards. (Still have used a DSP) I don’t make a lot of children’s cards so time to make a few. This could really be given to anyone of any age.

I mounted the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper (#144118) onto a piece of Basic Black card (#121688), which was then attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). I stamped the strings for the balloons with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These strings and the balloons are from the Balloon Celebration stamp set (#p140675) The balloons are stamped with Lemon Lime Twist (#144086), Real Red (#126949), Tempting Turquoise (#126952), Pumpkin Pie (#126945) and Garden Green (#126973) inks. The balloons were then punched with the Balloon Bouquet punch (#140609). I adhered a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet (#144106) to the back of the Tempting Turquoise card (#108598) before cutting 3 Happy Birthdays with the Happy Birthday Thinlits (#143700). These were mounted on top of each other. Then I inked the Happy Birthday with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130), which I then heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then added another layer of VersaMark and Emboss Powder. This gives a beautiful shine to the Greeting.

Have a great day.

Color Theory Memories & More Card Pack

Hi all,

The Memories & More Card Packs are not only great for scrapbooking but also for cards and you can add as much or as little to the beautiful designs.

The top designer paper is from the Color Theory Memories & More Card Pack (#144210). The Ombré paper attached to the Whisper White card (#106549) is from the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack (#144193). These 2 packs work beautifully together. I cut a strip from the top and added it to the bottom of the card which I stamped the greeting on. This greeting is from A Good Day stamp set (#c145873, #w145870) and stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#131173). The DSP with the leaves was attached to a piece of Soft Suede card (#119982). I then cut a leaf  with the Seasonal Layers Thinlits (#143751) also from Soft Suede card and attached it with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The chair is also from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits using Crushed Curry card (#131288) and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Have a great day.
