Peaceful Moments Bundle

Hi & welcome,

The January-June 2020 Mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration has begun today. You have seen some sneak peaks the last few days, and here is another card made with the beautiful products from the mini catalogue.

The dies from the Poppy Moments Dies (#151594) were used to cut the flowers and the leaves. These dies allow layering so easy to have different colours to create the flowers and leaves. The cardstock I used for the flowers are Purple Posy (#150887), Blackberry Bliss #133682) and Basic Black (#121688). The leaves used Pear Pizzaz (#131290) and Garden Green (#108605). I cut a piece of Whisper White card (#106549) with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690), then embossed it with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder (#152321). The strip of Designer Series Paper is from the Peaceful Poppies pack (#151324). Happy Birthday from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092), then cut with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I glued the leaves and flowers together with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the larger flower and sentiment to the card. I added some glitter to the “stamins” using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897), which doesn’t show very well in the photo.

Don’t forget that till 31st March, for every $90 you spend on Stampin’ Up! products, you can choose a free product from Sale-a-bration. Also there are some great deals if you would like to sign up as a demonstrator, so contact me if you live in Australia and are interested.

Have a great weekend.

Forever Blossoms

HI friends,

Here’s another sneak peak from the 2020 Mini Catalogue. I have used the Forever Blossoms Bundle (#c153781) which consists of Forever Blossoms stamp set (#151457) and the Cherry Blossoms Dies (#151456).

I stamped the base card with the Birch Background stamp (#149256) using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). I stamped it off first to give an even softer image. I embossed a piece of Vellum Cardstock (#106584) with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder (#151474), then attached it to a piece of Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). The ribbon is from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack (#149485). The flower image from the Forever Blossoms stamp set was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The flowers were coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Combo (#144603) and the leaves with Soft Sea Foam Stampin’Blends Combo (#148059). The die from Cherry Blossoms dies  cut the floral image, then this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Happy Birthday is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink. One of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690) was used to cut the greeting. Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457) were added to the card.

The new mini catalogue is available tomorrow (3rd January).

Scrapbook pages

Hello and Happy New Year,

I am hoping this is a good start for the year - having done this double scrapbook page already today, as I am wanting to get much more scrapbooking done this year.

The 12”x12” Designer Series Paper for the background is from a retired set, but suited these pages. I always seem to have excess DSP, which I find great for scrapbooking. The frames around the small photos were cut and embossed with the Heirloom Frames Dies & 3D Embossing Folders (#152325). I used Seaside Spray card (#150889) and matted them with Night Of Navy card (#106577). I cut the larger frames using the Paper Trimmer (#152392), then embossed the frames with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder (#152320). The fish along the bottom of the page were cut with a die from Under The Sea Dies (#146334). I used Night Of Navy card and I attached this to a piece of Whisper White card (#106549) before attaching it to the background. I cut the tree from Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) using the Sweet Silhouettes Dies (#149541). The seaweed die is also found in the Under The Sea dies. The journaling was cut with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638). The boats from Sailing Home stamp set (#c149457) were stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110) and Seaside Spray ink (#150085) and cut with the Smooth Sailing Dies (#149576).

Hope it is a great year for you.

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.

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.

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.
