Peace On Earth Bundle

Hi friends,

Today, demonstrators around the world joined together for “Creativity Now”, an online cardmaking day. We used products which will be available in the Mini Catalogue in September. (I can’t believe we are already talking about September).

This card today is made from some of the products. I needed a Sympathy card and the Peace On Earth Bundle (#165925) and Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928) were perfect for it.

For this card I used a full size A4 size Basic White card (#166781) and folded it in half. I dry embossed another piece of Basic White card with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928). This card was matted with Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) and taped to the base card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) with VersaMark (#102283) and used the Silver from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment and the silver foil were cut with the label dies from the Peace On Earth dies (#165924). I taped these labels together and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The dove is also cut with a die from the same die set using Silver Foil. The cross is cut from long retired Cross Of Hope dies.

This card is simple but elegant, just what I like for a sympathy card.

Another Simple Scrapbook Layout

Hello crafty friends,

Here’s another simple double page Scrapbook layout with more photos from our recent short get away.

I used the Cloud Cover Two Tone cardstock (#166708) for the base pages. I cut a piece of DSP from the Everyday You & Me Scrapbooking Workshop kit (#166628) and attached it to the sides of the base pages. I also cut this same DSP with Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). I cut smaller circles with the Spotlight On Nature dies using Cloud Cover card (#165293) and Misty Moonlight card (#153086). These were taped to the pages.

The photos were matted with Basic Black card (#121688).

The die cut leaves are also from the Everyday You & Me Scrapbooking Workshop kit. I attached these with Mini Glue Dots (#152334). I used a Happy Little Things die (retired) and a Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614) for the small titles.

Simple Scrapbooking

Hi friends,

Another simple double page scrapbook layout, this time using the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (#164700). I usually find the plainer designs on the reverse of the DSP is great for scrapbooking.

The Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750) were used to cut the letters for the title. I used Basic Black card (#121688) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached them to the page.

The leaves are cut using the Charming Day Dies (#166135). I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014) and Pecan Pie card (#161726), both backed with Adhesive Sheet.

The photos were matted with Basic Black card and taped to the pages and the leaves were attached.

Double scrapbook layout

Hello friends,

I have made a double scrapbook layout with photos from a recent short holiday. I like to include lots of photos and limit the embellishments for simple pages on my scrapbooking.

The base pages are from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393). I dry embossed the Cajun Craze card (#121683) with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (#164069). This was attached to the base pages.

The other DSP is from the Memories In Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop kit (#166713).

I matted the photos with Basic Black card (#121688), and some of the photos were double matted with Granny Apple Green card (#147014).

The leaves were cut with an Autumn Leaves die (#162185). These are retiring and are on the Last Chance products, while stocks last. I used Cherry Cobbler card (#121681), Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and Crumb Cake card (#121685) for the leaves.

Terrific Toadstools

Hello & welcome,

Before I put the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper (#165196) from yesterday’s card, I thought I would use it again on this card with a totally different look.

Again I matted the DSP with Mossy Meadow card (#133683). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I used the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580) to cut the circles. “Best Of Luck” is from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) and stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111).

The toadstools are from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set (#164783). These were stamped with Pecan Pie ink (#161665) and Timid Tiger ink (#165278). The stalks were stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) and the Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch (#164789) was used to punch the toadstools & stalks.

I used a die from the Mixed Labels dies (#164652) to cut the small leaves from Old Olive card (#106576).

The mossy meadow circle was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment and toadstools. Mini Glue Dots were used to attach the leaves. The Holographic Resin Dots (#165598) were added to the card.

Hi again everyone,

The Beautiful Gallery 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#165196) has a lovely range of “old world” designs from florals to landscapes. The plainer piece of DSP on the left is the back of the floral design.

I used a die from the Fancy Borders (#165380) to cut the leaves in the DSP. The 2 pieces of DSP were attached to the Mossy Meadow card (#133683). This was attached to the Basic Beige base card (#164512).

I cut 2 flowers with a die from the Charming Day dies (#166135). I daubered the edges with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) and added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). I attached these together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), slightly offsetting them. These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I cut the small leaves from Mossy Meadow card, using a Mixed Labels die (#164652). This card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), making it easy to attach them to the card.

I also used Clear Wink Of Stella on these die cut leaves and the leaves cut from the Fancy Borders die.

Sunrise Sailing Bundle

Hi again my friends,

I have made a masculine card today using the Sunrise Sailing Bundle (#165497) which consists of the Sunrise Sailing stamp set (#165491) and Sunrise Sailing dies (#165496).

I stamped the larger yacht with VersaMark (#102283) and used Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678), and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I stamped the sails with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663) using the stamping off method for a lighter colour. For the boat I used full strength Azure Afternoon ink.

The 2 yachts were cut with the Sunrise Sailing dies. I used Silver Foil (#163387) and Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) for the small yacht.

A die from the Everyday Arches dies (#164629) was used to cut the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (#162133). This was attached to the Cloud Cover from the Flower Garden Foils Specialty Paper (#165511). The foil was matted with Cherry Cobbler card and attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781).

The sentiment is also from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set and stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). I cut this with the same Everyday Arches die, as shown below, as I wanted the “stitching” around the sentiment, the same as the arch.

The larger yacht and sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the small yacht with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Charming Day Bundle

Hi friends,

One great perk of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is that you can get access to products early, so here is a sneak peek of the Charming Day Bundle (#166136). This will be available early July.

I used one of the 3 designs from the Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165305) for the card front. I used a Blending Brush (#153611) to apply the Bubble Bath ink (#161664). This DSP has a coating which resists the ink so the design is more prominent once the ink is applied. I matted the card front with Pool Party card (#124391) and attached it to the Basic White Base card (#166781).

The floral image from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675) and the leaves with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894).

I cut the floral image and extra leaves with the Charming Days dies (#166135). Pool Party card was used for the extra leaves. The floral image was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the die cut leaves.

“Lots Of Love” from the More Messages stamp set (#165471) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163811), then cut with the More Messages die (#165472). This was also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are from the retired Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder

Hello again my friends,

I have just used the stunning Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (#166145) for this card. This embossing folder will be available from the Online Exclusives in early July.

This folder is large - 15.2cm x 21.6cm (6”x8-1/2”) and has bold textured sunflower designs. After embossing the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) I added some colour with Sponge Daubers (#133773), using Crushed Curry ink (#147087) on the petals, Lemon Lime Twist ink (#147145) on the leaves and Pecan Pie ink (#161665) on the flower centres. I then added some glimmer to the petals with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

I matted this card with Pecan Pie card (#161726) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment is from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367) and stamped with Pecan Pie ink. A Perennial Postage die (#162607) was used to cut the sentiment. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach it to the card.

Beautiful Blues Kit

Hi friends,

I am using the Beautiful Blues Kit (#165658) for the card front of this card. The great thing about kits is you can make them as shown in the kit or put your own twist on them.

One of the card bases in this kit has a design on both sides, so I cut off one side to use. I then cut it in 3 pieces and matted it with Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367) was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) and cut it with a Year Of Flowers die (#165374). The Silver Foil leaves were also cut with dies from the Year Of Flowers. This silver foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making it easy to attach these small detailed leaves to the card.

The embellishments are also from the kit.

Party Banners Dies

Hello again friends,

The Party Banners dies (#165264) are great for making banners for all occasions as well as using for cards. I have made this welcome banner which I have hung in the front entry of our home. The largest banner die is 17.8cm x 13.7cm (#7”x5-3/8”) so quite a large size. With 14 different sizes of banner dies you can make you banner any size to suit your requirements.

I used the largest banner die for the Highland Heather card (#147010) for the background. The slightly smaller dies were used for the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and the Designer Series Paper. This is a retired paper. We all have excess of DSP that needs to be used, don't we.

I dry embossed the DSP with the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder (#165559) and the Highland Heather card with the So Swirly embossing folder (#163791). I taped these banners together.

The letters are cut from Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). I don’t have the Party Alphabet dies (#165263) which would have been perfect. (I cut these with an Electronic cutter).

The butterflies are cut with dies from the Beautiful Butterflies dies (#164614) using Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape card.

The flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269). I must be obsessed with this tape as I have used it on so many projects.

I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the flowers, leaves, letters & butterflies to the banners. The Flower Accents (#165171) were attached to each butterfly.

I threaded the Gold Ribbon from the Gold & Silver 1/8” Trim Combo Pack (#161633) through the banners to hang it.
