Grace’s Garden Bundle

Hello,

How cute is this stamp set and dies from the new 2020 Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalogue. Grace’s Garden Bundle (#153789) consists of the Grace’s Garden stamp set (#151513) and Garden Gateway Dies (#151512).

I stamped the sentiment onto the Very Vanilla base card (#106550) using Merry Merlot ink (#147112). I cut the gateway from the Crumb Cake card (#121685) then I embossed the card with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (#149643). I used Merry Merlot card (#147005) for the gate and archway. The plants were stamped with Garden Green ink (#147089) and I coloured the flowers and leaves with Stampin’ Blends - Dark Mango Melody (#147944), Dark Poppy Parade (#146879), Light Flirty Flamingo (#147031) and Dark Soft Sea Foam (#148058). The cat was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708) and coloured with Light Smokey Slate Stampin’ Blends (#145054). The cute little bird was stamped with Mango Melody ink (#147093) and the flowers are from Mango Melody card (#147013). All the pieces were cut with the Garden Gateway dies. The flowers, bird and cat were attached to the card with Stamping’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) to glue the individual flowers and the gate and archway to the card.

I can’t believe it is the end of the year already. I am looking forward to an exciting New Year and I hope it is a fantastic year for you all.

Happy New Year!!!!

Lovely Lily Pad stamp set & Lily Pad Dies

Hi everyone,

These beautiful lilies are free products from Sale-a-bration which starts on 3rd January, and yes, the Lily Pad dies are also free with a qualifying order.

The Whisper White card front (#106549) was embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (#149634) and attached to the Whisper White base card. The Seaside Spray card (#150889) was cut with the largest scalloped rectangle of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690). The lilies from the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set (#152288) were stamped onto the Petal Pink vellum from the Perennial Essence 12”x12” Vellum cardstock (#149101), using VersaMark (#102283) and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131). This was then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The base of the lily pad was stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) onto Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). This set is “reversible” which allows you to stamp the base colour using the smooth side of the stamp, then turn it over to stamp the line image. All the images in this set are reversible. The lined image was stamped with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104). The flowers, lily pad and detailed border were all cut with dies from the Lily Pad Dies (#152315). The stamp set is free with a $90 purchase and the dies with a $180 purchase. I added the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#151193) to the card. I will add a sentiment when I decide what I want to use this card for.

As well as Sale-A-Bration starting on 3rd January, so does the new Mini Catalogue which have fabulous new products to purchase. If you live in Australia and don’t have a demonstrator and would like a catalogue please contact me.

Enjoy your day.

By The Dock Bundle

Hello and welcome,

Apologies for my absence over the last couple of weeks but with Christmas and other distractions I have only just back into the craft room and this is the first chance I have had to play with any new products from the Stampin’ Up! mini catalogue which is available to order from on the 3rd January 2020. I have made a masculine card with the By The Dock Bundle (#c153817). In fact I made 2 cards with slight variations.

For the first card I used Seaside Spray card (#150889) for the base and Blueberry Bushel (#146991) for the frame. The jetty and boat from the By The Dock Stamp set (#c151622) were stamped onto Crumb Cake card (#121685) with the Saddle Brown StazOn ink (#151508). The birds were stamped with Seaside Spray ink (#150085) as were the ripples in the water and the fish. Happy Birthday from Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#c151331) was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) on Very Vanilla Card (#106550). All the stamped images were cut with the Dockside Dies (#151618). The frame was embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder (#152320). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the frame, jetty and boat to the card. Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used for the birds and oar.

For the variations on the second card I used Very Vanilla for the base card, jetty, boat, birds and oars, Crumb Cake for the frame, Seaside Spray for the water and Old Olive card (#106576) for the grass. I used a Stitched Rectangles Die (#148551) to cut the inside of the frame. When I stamped the jetty and boat, I stamped them on card which I had embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing Folder (#151775) first. This gave me a more of a “worn” look which I was hoping to achieve. I used Crumb Cake ink (#147116) to stamp these.

Don’t forget that Sale-A-Bration also starts on the 3rd January, which means that for each $90 you spend on Stampin’ Up! products from the annual catalogue and/or mini catalogue you can get free products, and don’t we all like free products. There are a fabulous variety of products to choose from, so don’t miss out. If you have any questions just ask me.

Enjoy your day, whatever you are doing.

Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi,

Have you got all your Christmas cards made and sent? It’s a good feeling when that job is finished. Here’s a card I made recently using the beautiful Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper (#150429).

The designer series paper was attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). The Night Of Navy card (#106577), Copper Foil Sheet (#142020) and the DSP with the stars are all cut with the Stitched Nested Labels (#149638). The stars are cut with the Stitched Stars Dies (#150653) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Celebrate The Season” is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (#c150513) and stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). This was cut with a die from the Merry Christmas Dies (#147912) and also attached with Dimensionals.

There are more products on the Clearance Rack so check them out here. There are some great bargains while stocks last. 

Have a great day.

Detailed Peacock Dies

Hi and Welcome,

I was having a play with the Pigments Sprinkles (#149663) today and created this beautiful background. These are watercolour pigment crystals which you cam mix with water for unique backgrounds. The colours in the pack are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody and Melon Mambo.

There are various methods you can use, but I very lightly sprinkled each of the 6 colours onto the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper (#149612). A little goes a long way. Usually you would then spray it lightly with water but I decided to try using Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046) which I had in a Stampin’ Spritzer (#126185) which was mixed with rubbing alcohol. I was very happy with the results as it helped disperse the colours as well as giving the lovely shimmer on the card. The more you spritz the card the more the colours will mix and blend. After the card was dried - I used the Heat Tool (#129056), but you can let it dry naturally - I embossed it with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (#150646). The peacock was cut with a Detailed Peacock Die (#149582) from Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). This was glued to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) using a Stampin’ Sponge (#141337). For this method I squeezed some glue onto a Silicon Craft Sheet (#127853), and dabbed the sponge onto the glue. Then I gently dabbed the glue all over the back of the peacock which is placed onto the craft sheet. This ensures you have glue on all the detailed pieces so is easy to glue to the card. The sentiment from Good Morning Magnolia stamp set (#149298) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#148551), then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The base card is also Very Vanilla and the cardfront was matted with Gorgeous Grape card.

Have a great day.

Mercury Glass Designer Acetate

Hello,

I have made this design a few times recently as it looks so nice and fairly easy to do.

I attached the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate (#150441) to the Whisper White base card (#106549). To cut the Whisper White card front, I measured and made a small mark 3cm from the bottom right corner both vertically and horizontally. From these marks I cut up to the left top corner, which gave me the 2 triangles. I stamped “Happy Birthday” with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) which needs to be heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I stamped the leaves from the Daisy Lane stamp set (#c149325) using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). The daisies are also from the Daisy Lane stamp set. The small daisies were heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and the large daisies with Shimmer White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#149511). After setting, these were punched with the co-ordinating Daisy Punch (#143713) and Medium Daisy Punch (#149517). The daisies were assembled using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and I used a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) to attach the flower to the card. Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the card and flower.

Have a great day.

Floral Essence

Hi friends,

This flower is from the Floral Essence stamp set (#149450) which is in the Annual Catalogue. We can sometimes forget about this catalogue when the holiday catalogue is available.

The base card is Seaside Spray (#150889), then the Whisper White card was attached to the base after being embossed with the 3D Subtle Embossing Folder (#151775). I cut a piece of the Seaside Spray 2019-2021 In Color 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#149617) with Stitched Shapes Dies (#145372), as well as the Whisper White card with the sentiment. “Happy Birthday” is from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set (#152729) and stamped with Seaside Spray ink (#150085). The flower was also stamped with Seaside spray ink and punched with the co-ordinating Perennial Flower Punch (#149450). I used Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) for the leaves which were cut with dies from the Magnolia Memory dies (#149578). The Seaside Spray 1/4” Metallic Ribbon (#150446)  was wrapped around the card front. The flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the card and flower.

Have a great weekend.

Christmas Gleaming

Hello again,

If you need a quick and easy last minute Christmas card this card is just for you.

I used Whisper White card (#106549) and Wrapped In Plaid 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#149596). I stamped the baubles from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set (#c150464), using Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and punched them with the co-ordinating punch from the  Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack (#150647). “Christmas Cheer” is from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp set (#150513) and also stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink. The Whisper White card was cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#148551), then this was embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). I attached the baubles with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Yes that was quick and easy.

Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

Here’s another easy card using Designer Series Paper. I have used one of the beautiful photographic images from the Feels Like Frost 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper ((#150444).

I used 3 of the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#148551) to cut the one piece of DSP. I then cut the Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) slightly larger then the 2 smaller rectangles and attached the Designer Paper to these. The larger rectangle was attached to the base card and the other rectangles were attached on top. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (#150513), and stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) on Whisper White card (#106549). This was also cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies, then attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

As I said, an easy card but pretty with this Designer Paper.

Enjoy your day.

Sympathy card

Hello friends,

Unfortuneately I need a Sympathy card for a very special friend, so this is what I have made, and was very pleased with the finished card.

I used the Shimmery White cardstock (#121717). I used the full A4 sheet and folded it in half as I wanted a larger card. I used the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate (#150441) and attached this to the base card. I then cut another piece of Shimmery White card to create the “v” shape. I stamped the sentiments from the Hold Onto Hope stamp set (#c151243) and the Woven Heirlooms stamp set (#c149306). These were stamped with Seaside Spray ink (#150889). The leaves are from Hold Onto Hope stamp set and stamped with Silvery Shimmer Ink (#150709). These 2 pieces of card were attached to the acetate. The crosses are cut with dies from the Cross Of Hope Dies (#145654). I used Silver Foil sheet (#132178) for the background cross and Seaside Spray card (#150889) for the detailed cross. I attached the cross to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a great day.

There are so many beautiful Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! catalogues which can be used for both cards and scrapbooking. I have used the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper (#149497) for the background on this card. You can make a quick and easy card using Designer Series Papers.

I embossed the Rococo Rose DSP with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#151801). Then I wrapped Rococo Rose 1/2” Gathered Ribbon (#149587) around the DSP before it was attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). The sentiment from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set (#c149306) was stamped with Rococo Rose ink (#150080). The ovals were cut with the Layering Ovals dies (#141706). The scalloped oval is Seaside Spray card (#150889). This was attached to the cardfront with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then I added the Rococo Rose dots from the 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots (#149607).

Hope you are having a great weekend.

Crafting Forever

Hello,

Firstly, apologies for my absence but I have been on holidays, so after a relaxing few weeks I’m back in the craft room. Today’s card is a simple one - sometimes that’s all that is needed.

I used Real Red (#106578) for the base card and Whisper White (#106549) for the card front and the stamped image. I stamped the pens from the Crafting Forever stamp set (#c151231) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708), then cut it with the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#148551). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “A little note” is from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (#p148580) and I used Real Red ink (#147084). Red Rhinestones Basic Jewels (#146924) were added under the sentiment.

The Holiday catalogue is coming to an end on 2nd January, which means many of the products won’t be available after that date. There are some good deals on some of the retiring products, so check out the discounted products here , and for all other retiring products here.
