Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi again friends,

A quick & easy card today using the beautiful Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168598) which is a Product Of The Month and still available while stocks last.

The DSP was attached to the Cajun Craze card (#121683) then attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#16785).

The sentiment and bow are from the Elegantly Wrapped stamp set (#168474) and stamped with Cajun Craze ink (#147085). The bow was cut with the co-ordinating die from the Elegantly Wrapped dies (#168480). The sentiment and the Cajun Craze “diamonds” were cut with the Tile Garden dies (#168573).

The Cajun Craze die cuts were taped to the card and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The bow was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I used the Clear Wink of Stella (#141897) on the bow to add some glimmer.

I will be away for the next week so may not get a chance to post any cards but will be back again as soon as possible.

Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper

Welcome everyone,

The floral image on today’s card is from the Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168598). This is the August Product Of The Month which is available to purchase for $9 (in Australia) with a $125 order. This beautiful paper has a fine shimmer all over. I fussy cut this image.

The card front is Golden Glow (#167686) and this was dry embossed with the Softly Woven Embossing folder (#168466). This is available in the next catalogue from 1st September. I matted this with Pecan Pie card (#161726) and attached it to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

The Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies (#170064) were used for the label. I used the Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170554) on Two-Tone Crumb Cake card (#166671) and this was cut with the co-ordinating cutting dies. I also used the Silver Opal Foil for the sentiment from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042). Even though this is silver foil it picks up all the colours around.

The leaves were cut with the cutting dies from the (upcoming) Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil dies (#170558) using both sides of the Two-Tone cardstock. The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the floral image and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I have used the (retired) Iredescent Faceted Gems to compete the card.

June Product Of The Month

Hello & welcome again,

Another very cute card using the Wild Bunch stamp set (#167987) which is the June Product Of The Month.

I stamped the 3 cute little cows with Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad (#166648) onto Basic White card (#166781). These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Golden Glow (#167682), Cloud Cover (#165287), Pecan Pie (#161674), Crumb Cake (#154882), Bubble Bath (#161675) and 500 & 600 from the Medium combo pack (#159462). These were then fussy cut.

The grass from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set (#167922) was stamped with Peaceful Pine ink (#167679) and cut with the Relaxing Waterside dies (#167927).

The card front from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) was matted with Basic Black card (#121688) then attached to the Basic White base card.

“Sending Love” from the Wild Bunch stamp set and stamped with Peaceful Pine ink. The Three Banners punch (#167050) was used to punch the sentiment.

The grass was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The cows and sentiment were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on parts of the cows to add some glimmer.

Wild Bunch stamp set

Hello again friends,

How cute are the animals in the Wild Bunch stamp set (#167987) including this koala. This stamp set is the June Product Of The Month which is available to purchase with a qualifying order.

I stamped the Koala with Gray Granite ink (#147118) onto Basic White card (#166781). I coloured it with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) and Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675). I then fussy cut the koala.

The DSP for the card front is from the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper (#167737) and I matted this with Peaceful Pine card (#167692) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The strip of DSP is from the Valley In Bloom Designer Series Paper (#167935). I used a die from the Scalloped Blooms dies (#167646) to cut the Basic Beige card (#164512) and Bubble Bath card (#161727). The Basic Beige card was dry embossed with the Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder (#168220) which will be available in the July Online Exclusives.

The DSP and the 2 die cut pieces were taped to the card. The koala was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Best Wishes” from the Words & Wishes dies (#167894) was cut with Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), so all you need to do is remove the backing and attach the words to the card.

I added glimmer to the koala using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) and the embellishments are from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots (#167546).

Notes Of Spring stamp set

Hello again friends,

The March Product Of The Month is the Notes Of Spring stamp set (#167979). With a qualifying order (in Australia it is a $125 order) you can purchase the product of the month for just $9.

The deer are from the stamp set and I have stamped the outline with Pecan Pie ink (#161665). The inside was stamped with Pecan Pie ink, stamping off first, to get the lighter colour. These were then fussy cut, then glimmer was added using the Clear Wink OF Stella (#141897).

The Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper (#165196) was used for the card front and matted with Pecan Pie card (#161726), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

One deer was taped to the card and the other with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I cut a piece of Pecan Pie card with a die from the Nature’s Symphony dies (#166925) and taped it to the card, then the sentiment on top. The sentiment is also from the Notes Of Spring stamp set and stamped with Pecan Pie ink. A Fragrant Layers die (#167154) cut the sentiment and was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Pressed Flower Motifs (#165215) were added to finish the card.

Notes Of Spring Stamp Set

Hello stamping friends,

Each month Stampin’ Up! has a new Product Of The Month which in Australia you can purchase for $9 with a $125 order. These products will carry over if they are still in stock. I have used 2 products of the month on today’s card - Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper (#167977) and the Notes Of Spring Stamp Set (#167979).

I stamped the outline of deer from the stamp set with Pecan Pie ink (#161665). Then I stamped the inside with Pecan Pie ink but stamped off first to get the lighter colour.

I then stamped the deer onto Masking paper (#155480) and cut around the image. I placed this over the original stamped image and stamped the grass on either side of the deer. Using the masking method it avoids stamping over the deer and gives the illusion of the deer in front of the grass. I then stamped the smaller grass image at the front and sides. I used Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) for the grass. The deer was then cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580).

The Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper was used for the card front and attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781).

I used one of the dies from the Nature’s Symphony dies (#166925) to cut the rows of dots along the bottom of the Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099). Another die was used to cut the “woodgrain” piece from Gold Foil (#132622).

“Happiest Birthday Wishes” is from the Notes Of Spring stamp set and I stamped this with Pecan Pie ink. This was cut with a (retired) Beautiful Butterflies die.

The Granny Apple Green card (#147014), backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) was used for the leaves cut with the Delicate Wishes dies (#167505).

When using Vellum, I add all the pieces to the vellum before attaching the vellum to the card. Then I attach the vellum using adhesive only in the areas that won’t be visible. The leaves were attached with the adhesive sheet, I taped the gold woodgrain, the Circle was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and a Mini Glue Dot (#103683). The embellishments are the Natural Matte Dots (#167510).

Product Of The Month

Hi everyone,

Each month there is a new Product Of The Month which can be purchased at a reduced price with a qualifying order (in Australia it is $9 with a $125 order). These products are available while stocks last and will carry over if they are still in stock. This month’s Product of the Month is the Notes Of Spring stamp set (#167979).

I thought these cute little animals from this stamp set would make a great baby card.

The outline of the rabbit, duck & deer were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) which were set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I stamped the inside area of the rabbit with Bubble Bath ink (#161664), Lemon Lolly ink (#161666) for the duck and Crumb Cake ink (#147116) for the deer.

The circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The stamped images were attached to the coloured card - Bubble Bath (#161727), Lemon Lolly (#161729) and Crumb Cake (#121685) using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The card front is from the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper (#167977) which is also a Product Of The Month. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The circles were taped to the card. “Congratulations” is from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) and also Gold Embossed. Another die from the Stylish Shapes dies was used to cut the sentiment. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to each of the stamped images.

The embellishments are from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots (#162758). The dot under the deer was coloured with a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend (#154882).

Product Of The Month

Hello again,

Each month there is a new Product Of The Month which in Australia you can get for $9 with a $125 order. February’s product of the month is the beautiful Painted Illusions 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#167977), which I have used on the background on this card.

The strips of DSP were attached to the Pretty Peacock card (#150886), then this was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I stamped the vases from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) with VersaMark (#102283) onto Pretty Peacock card and Lost Lagoon card (#133686). I added the white powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). An Inspiring Imperfections die (#165166) was used to cut the vases.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756). I stamped the words separately by covering the other word with a post it note when inking the stamp, so I could punch each word separately using the Three Banner Punch (#167050). Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) was used to stamp the sentiment.

The vase on the right was taped to the card and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the other vase & sentiment. The embellishments are from the Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).
