Scrapbook page

Hello friends,

I love scrapbooking and I actually started scrapbooking before card making, but unfortunately get very little time these days. I am a very simple scrapbooker as I like the page to highlight the photos not the embellishments.

The background page and the strip along the bottom of the page are from the Delightful Floral 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#162356). The photos were matted with Azure Afternoon card (#161728) and Basic Back card (#121688). Notice I didn't fully matt the photos with the Azure Afternoon card for a different look.

The butterflies and tags are cut with the Designer Tags dies (#159165) and attached to the page with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The other die cuts are cut with a die from the Earthen Textures dies (#161513) and the Azure Afternoon card for these were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I will add the journaling to the tag to finish the page. The tags were attached together with a black brad from the Round & Square Brads (#155570).

Inspirational Sketches

Hello everyone,

I just love the bird from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684) which I have used for this card. Actually I love all 3 images in the set. I’m still making cards for males, however this one again could be for anyone.

The bird was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214) on Basic White card (#159228), then fussy cut. The DSP from the Softly Stippled 12”x12” Designer Seres Paper (#162975) was cut with an Everyday Details Die (#162864). The DSP is a Sale-a-bration product and co-ordinates with the Stippled Roses Bundle from the new Mini Catalogue.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with another Sale-a-bration product - the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder which is part of the Softly Sophisticated bundle (#162947) which also includes a stamp set. I matted the card front with Coastal Cabana card (#131302) then attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink and cut with a Sending die (#159271). The sentiment & bird were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I applied Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the bird to add some glimmer.

The card front and the middle size circle are both cut using the Earthen Elegance 12”x12” DSP. The 3 circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183). For the large circle I used Copper Clay card (#161730) and Very Vanilla card (#106550) for the smaller one with the sentiment. “Best Wishes” is from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) and stamped with Copper Clay ink (#161647).

All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello everyone,

I am making masculine cards this week (as I need to build up my stock). However this card could be for either male or female which is great.

I have used the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178) for the card front, then I matted this with Pretty Peacock card (#150886). This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The strip of Pretty Peacock card was dry embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder which is included in the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (#162947), a Sale-a-bration product.

“Best Wishes” from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). This was cut with 2 of the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The trio of embellishments are from the Blooming Pearls (#162238).

An easy card which you can change the DSP for a variety of looks. I am sure you have excess of DSP which you can use.

Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper

Hi stamping friends,

Another Masculine card today using the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (#162978) which is a Sale-a-bration product and co-ordinates with the Trusty Tools Bundle (#162723) from the upcoming Mini catalogue.

Some of the tools in the Designer Paper can be cut with the Trusty Tools dies (#162722). The others are easily fussy cut. After cutting the tools they were attached to the card front which is also from the Trusty Toolbox DSP. This was matted with Lost Lagoon card (#133686) ad then attached to the Basic White card base (#159228).

The tool box was cut with the Trusty Tools dies using one of the foils from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457). The box was then dry embossed with the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder (#160766). I attached the box & handle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

“Thank you” is from the Trusty Tools stamp set (#163274) and this was stamped with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). I used a Timeless Arrangements die (#161525) to cut the sentiment.

Trusty Tools

Hello friends,

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and now have some time to relax. Perhaps it will be a chance to get back into the craft room.

I am very short of masculine cards so the new Trusty Tools Bundle (#162723) is perfect for me to make some cards particularly for the handyman.

I stamped the tools from the Trusty Tools stamp set (#163274) using Basic Gray ink (#149165) and Real Red ink (#147084). I coloured part of the images with Smokey Slate Stamin’ Blends (#154904) and Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899). I also added some Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add that bit of shimmer. These tools and the screws & bolts were cut with the Trusty Tools Dies (#162722). For the screws & bolts I used Silver Foil Specialty card (#156457) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I used a die on the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) with another Trusty Tools die for the “pegboard”. This was matted with Real Red card (#106578). A piece of the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (#162978) was attached to the right side of the card. This DSP is from the Sale-a-bration products. There are many tools in this pack which co-ordinate with the Trusty Tools dies.

The stamped tools were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). “DAD” is cut with the Mini Alphabet dies (#162934) using Real Red card which was backed with Adhesive Sheet.

The new mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration will be available for ordering from 4th January. One advantage of being a demonstrator is that you get early access to new products, so if you want to know more about joining my team please contact me at lesley.j.jendra@gmail.com

Lifetime Of Love Bundle

Hi friends,

I am highlighting more of the new products from the upcoming Mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration. I was given a beautiful card recently from a friend (thanks Judy) using this fancy fold so just had to make one.

The card base is the normal size - 21cm x 14.9cm. This was scored along the long side - 6.5cm from the left and 4 cm from the right. The Designer Series Paper is from the gorgeous Forever Love 12”X12” Specialty DSP (#162573) and attached to the front flaps.

I cut the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and Very Vanilla card (#106550) with Scalloped Contours dies (#155560). I dry embossed the Very Vanilla card with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (#162947). This is part of the Softly Sophisticated bundle which also includes a stamp set and a free Sale-a-bration product.

I stamped the floral images from the Lifetime Of Love stamp set (#162574) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Lost Lagoon (#161680), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Ivory (#154922).

The flowers and leaves were cut with the Lifetime Of Love dies (#162583). I used Lost Lagoon card (#133686) for the leaves.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052), then cut with a retired Pretty Pillowbox die.

The sentiment & flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.

Everyday Details Bundle

Hi crafty friends, 

I love when I get new products and get a chance to play with them like the Everyday Details Bundle (#162865).

The nest is from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) and I stamped this Pecan Pie ink (#161665) on Basic White card (#159228). This was fussy cut. The bird is from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was also fussy cut.

“Happy Birthday” from the Pansy Patch stamp set (#154999) was also stamped with Real Red ink. I used the Everyday Details Dies (#162864) to cut the sentiment, circle and the dots on the strip of Lost Lagoon card (#133686). The DSP for the circle and the Pecan Pie DSP for the card front is from the Flight & Airy 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#162977), a sale-a-bration product.

I used Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends (#161680) to colour the leaves on the nest and for the eggs I used 1000 (#159465) & 700 (#159463) from the Natural Tones. The nest & bird were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the eggs & bird. Blooming Pearls (#162238) were the embellishments used

Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper

Hi again everyone,

Sale-a-bration is starting on 4th January, which means you can get free products with qualifying orders (from $90 in Australia) and who doesn't like free products. Several of the free products co-ordinate with products in the upcoming Mini catalogue which commences at the same time. Here I have used the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper (#162975) which co-ordinates with the Stippled Roses Bundle (#162667) from the mini cattalogue.

I fussy cut the flowers from the DSP. I cut the circles with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) also using the same DSP.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder which is part of the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (#162947) and also a Sale-a-bration product. This was matted with Calypso Coral card (#124392) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I taped the circles to the card front. I cut the banner from Pebbled Path card (#161731) also using a Stylish Shapes die. The flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Calypso Coral ink (#147101) and cut with another Stylish Shapes die. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the sentiment. The cute bird embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).

Jolly Words stamp set

Hi stamping friends,

I thought I had made all my Christmas cards but realised I still need a few more. For this one I have used the Jolly Words stamp set (#162087).

I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Real Red (#154899), Wild Wheat (#161661), Tahitian Tide (#159221), Parakeet Party (#159220) and Natural Tones - Medium -500 & 600 (#159462), Medium Light - 800 (#159463) and Light- 1000 (#159465).

I used the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (#162026) to dry emboss the Vellum (#106584) which was then matted with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) and attached to the Basic White base card.

After daubering the edges with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) I attached the stamped image using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) then added extra (retired) snowflakes to the card.

Don’t forget to check out the Last Chance products which are retiring from the current mini catalogue. There are some great bargains while stocks last, so check them out here -

Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper

Hello again my friends,

With Christmas almost here it is a very busy time for everyone (including me) so apologies for not posting a blog every day over the next week or two. Today I am showing you one of the beautiful designer papers from Sale-a-bration which starts on 4th January along with the new mini catalogue. This pack is Flight & Airy 12”x12” DSP (#162977) and is a free product with an order of $90 (in Australia).

It is easy to make a quick and easy card with beautiful DSP. I matted the DSP with the birds using Boho Blue card (#161733). The pink DSP is the reverse side of the birds paper. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Boho Blue ink (#161650), then cut with a Cracker & Treat Box die (#159182). I attached the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

So yes a very easy card which you can substitute any designer paper.

Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes

Hi my friends,

Here is another sneak peek of some of the new products from the upcoming Mini catalogue, using the Forever Love Suite Collection (#162590).

I have used the Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes (#162589) for this elegant card. The card has the design on the front & back, so you could also cut the card in half and use both as card fronts. There are many possibilities as you could also colour the images. The co-ordinating envelope has a gorgeous die cut flap.

I used Vellum card stock (#106584) and attached this to the card. I cut the Gold Glitter from the Silver & Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper (#162288) using a die from the Lifetime Of Love dies (#162583) and attached this to the Vellum. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Lifetime Of Love Stamp set (#162574) using VersaMark (#102283) and using Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then cut this with the same die and used the inside piece with the sentiment and fitted it into the gold die cut piece.

The Gold Blooming Pearls (#162238) and the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to finish the card.

Enduring Beauty

Hello friends,

I have just received an order of some of the new products which will be available to purchase from the upcoming Mini Catalogue from 4th January 2024, so I couldn't wait to play with them. There are some very exciting new products in the mini catty as well as the fantastic Sale-a-bration products where you can earn free products by shopping, hosting or joining Stampin’ Up! Please contact me if you want any information regarding Sale-a-bration.

I stamped the floral image from the Enduring Beauty Stamp set (#162670). This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). Also available with this set is the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks (#162673). There are 5 masks in the set and each one allows you to colour different parts of the floral image using Blending Brushes (#153611). The inks I have used are Bubble Bath (#161664), Fresh Freesia (#155611), Highland Heather (#147103), Gorgeous Grape (#147099), Lemon Lime Twist (#147145) and Crushed Curry (#147087). This was then cut with the Enduring Beauty Dies (#162672).

The Enduring Beauty Bundle (#162674) includes the stamp set, dies and masks. There are 10 sentiments included in the embossing folder and dies.

The background is one of the beautiful designs from the Most Adored 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162976). This is a pack from the Sale-a-bration products and free with a $90 purchase (in Australia). I attached the floral image with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut the leaves and buds with dies also from the Enduring Beauty dies. I used Lemon Lime Twist card (#121680), Bubble Bath card (#161727) and Fresh Freesia card (#155614), all backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and these were attached to the card.

“Hello” is from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder (#162927). This embossing folder also includes dies which fit into the folder and cuts and embosses an image at the same time. The dies can be used separately like any other die. To achieve the fine outline of ink on the sentiment, I used the new Stampin’ Brayer (#162936) and applied Fresh Freesia ink onto the embossing folder. I then placed the dies and Basic White card into the folder and cut & embossed the sentiment. I also cut a piece of Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) with the die and used this as a shadow effect. “Hello” was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Love what you do and share what you love.”
