Last A Lifetime

Hi,

The retiring list from the Annual Stampin’ Up! catalogue is now available so you can find what is retiring here.

Some products have a greatly reduced price so there are some great bargains. However they are available only while stocks last and some are selling out very quickly, so don't delay in placing an order if you want any of these products.

I wrapped the Purple Tricolor Ribbon (#149708) around the cardfront, then adhered the die cut Silver foil to the card. The sentiment is from the Last A Lifetime stamp set (#151479) and this was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131). This needs to be set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Layering Ovals Dies (#151771) were used to cut the sentiment and the Gorgeous Grape card (#147099) under the sentiment.

Rooted In Nature stamp set

Hello friends,

I have dusted off the Roots In Nature stamp set (#148217) today for another masculine card.

All the images except for the sentiment are from the Rooted In Nature stamp set. The tree was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095), the timber at the bottom left was stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). I inked the leaf on the bottom left with Crumb Cake then daubered the edges with Granny Apple Green ink before stamping it. The leaves at the top were inked with Crushed Curry ink (#147087), then also daubered the edges with Granny Apple Green ink.

“Happy Birthday” from Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Crushed Curry ink.

Each of the images were cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#151820). 

 Very Vanilla (#106550) is used for the base card as well as for the stamped images. I dry embossed the Soft Suede (#119982) card front with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder (#152320). All the stamped images were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a great day!!

Geared Up Garage

Hello again my friends,

With the current annual catalogue coming to an end soon, I thought I should dust off some of my “neglected” stamp sets. Here’s a very easy masculine card today using the Geared Up Garage stamp set (#148590).

The Designer Series Paper is the World Of Good Specialty DSP (#152491) which is great for a masculine card. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The “banner” was punched with the Banner Triple Punch (#138292). This punch allows you to cut 3 different width banners - 1”, 1-1/2” and 2”. I used the 2” width.

The car from the Geared Up Garage stamp set was stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). A die from the co-ordinating Garage Gears Die (#151812) was used to cut the car. The sentiment is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (#154507) and also stamped with Night Of Navy ink. This was cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820).

 The car and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

How easy was that!!

To A Wild Rose

Welcome,

These flowers are from the To A Wild Rose stamp set (#149452) and is a Two-step stamp which allows you to stamp 2 images in different colours. This flower also has a 3rd image which I didn't use as I just let the Basic White card (#159228) be the background, instead of stamping a lighter 3rd colour.

The pink flower was stamped with Magenta Madness ink (#153117). The lighter colour was achieved by ‘stamping off” once onto scrap paper then stamping on the card. The purple flower was stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Gorgeous Grape (#147099). These flowers were cut with the co-ordinating Wild Rose dies (#149547).

The leaves are from the Forever Fern stamp set (#153559), stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and cut with a Forever Flourishing Die (#152714).

The base card and card front are Basic White and I dry embossed the card front with a Meadow Moments Embossing Folder (#153126). There are 2 folders in this set and are suitable for use in the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (#150673).

I cut the Rainbow Glimmer Paper (#153056) and the Brass Foil Sheet (#153057) with a Curvy Die (#154319).

“Congratulations” is from the Vine Design stamp set (#154488) and the die to cut this is from the Flowering Vine Dies (#154332). This was stamped with Magenta Madness ink. The pink flower and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The current annual catalogue will be coming to an end on 3rd May and the retiring list will be available soon, so keep an eye out for that. I will let you know when it is available.

Have a great day and I hope you are keeping safe & dry if you are in any of the very wet areas in Australia.

Art Gallery Bundle

Hi everyone,

I was having a clean up of my table and had one of these flowers stamped and cut, so thought I would use it for todays card and add another couple as well.

The flowers from the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421) were stamped with the following inks - Highland Heather (#147103) & Gorgeous Grape (#147099), So Saffron (#147109) & Mango Melody (#147093) and Flirty Flamingo (#147052) & Terracotta Tile (#150086). These were cut with the co-ordinating Floral Gallery Dies (#154316). I added glimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897).

All the card used is Basic White (#159228). I dry embossed the card front with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). I used one of the dies from the Flowering Vine Dies (#154332) for the detailed cut out and this was glued to the cardfront with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The yellow flowers were taped to the card and the other flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from the Boho Indigo stamp set which is part of the Boho Indigo Product Medley (#153132). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used an oval from the Layering Ovals Dies (#151771) to cut the sentiment and also attached this with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) were added to finish the card.

Enjoy your day!!

Hey Girlfriend

Hi & welcome,

How cute are these images in the Hey Girlfriend stamp set (#154516). 

I stamped each of the girls using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). They were then coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Balmy Blue (#154830), So Saffron (#154905), Petal Pink (#154893), Highland Heather (#154887), Ivory & Bronze (#154922), Melon Mambo (#153112), Seaside Spray (#154901), Poppy Parade (#154958), Crumb Cake (#154882) and Purple Posy (#154896). Each of these images were then cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820).

The base card and card front are Basic White (#159228). I dry embossed the card front with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317).

I cut the Balmy Blue card (#147007), Highland Heather card (#147010) and Melon Mambo card (#119980) with another Stitched Rectangles Die and these were attached to the card front. The larger rectangles were attached on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421) and this was stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103). To cut the sentiment I arranged the die close to the “H” and cut it with the Stitched Rectangles die. Then I moved the die close to the “y” in happy and recut as you can see below. I re-stamped the sentiment and did the same with the “birthday”. 

The sentiment was then attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I hope your weekend is amazing!!

Forever Fern

Hello my friends,

I love the subtle colours on this card which could be used for a variety of occasions - sympathy, wedding, anniversary or birthdays.

The base card and card front are Basic White (#159228). I dry embossed the card front with the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing Folder (#152702) and daubered the edges with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102).

I stamped a variety of the leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559). I stamped each leaf twice. One image was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). Another was stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink using the Stamparatus (#148187). After cleaning the stamp I re-stamped this with VersaMark and added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) and heat set this. Another leaf was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132). I then sponged these leaves with  Soft Sea Foam ink using a Blending Brush (#153611). All these stamped images were cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). I also cut extra leaves from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and Silver Foil Sheet (#132178).

I then attached the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I attached a piece of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) and the sentiment was placed on top. “Thinking Of You” is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (#154507). This was heat embossed with Silver Embossing powder, then cut with a die from the Ornate Frames (#150664). A Rhinestone Basic Jewel (#144220) was attached to the sentiment.

Have a great weekend, and hopefully a crafty one!!

Sailing Home

Hello & welcome again,

Another masculine card today, using the Sailing Home stamp set (#149457).

The boats, lighthouse and anchor are all images from the Sailing Home stamp set, using Misty Moonlight ink (#153118), Real Red ink (#147084) and Smoky Slate ink (#147113). The dies to cut these, as well as the wheel are from the co-ordinating Smooth Sailing dies (#149576). I used the Brass Foil Sheet (#153057) for the wheel. 

The base card is Basic White (#159228). The Designer Series Paper is from the Sand & Sea DSP (#154288) and this was matted onto the Real Red card (#106578).

“Celebrate” is from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) and stamped with Real Red ink. I cut this and the Real Red card underneath with the Stitched Nested Labels dies (#149638). The sentiment and the lighthouse were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the wheel for ease of attaching. I find the adhesive sheets are great when you have more detailed die cuts.

Have an amazing day!!

True Love Designer Series Paper with Stampin’ Blends

Hello friends,

After fussy cutting these flowers from the True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281), I coloured them with Stampin’ Blends.

The colours used are Granny Apple Green (#154885), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Highland Heather (#154887) and Poppy Parade (#154958). 

The base card is Basic White (#159228), with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) as the next layer. I used one of the dies from the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726) to cut the detailed border at the top & bottom of the Basic White card front.

I cut a circle using a Layering Circles Die (#151770) and then dry embossed this with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#152725). I attached a Gold Hoop Embellishment (#152474) to the circle using Mini Glue Dots (#103683), making sure these would be under the flowers and sentiment so as not to be visible.

The sentiment is from the Many Messages stamp set (#154510) and cut with the Messages Die (#154422). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I lightly daubered the edge of the sentiment with Crumb Cake ink (#147116).

The flowers and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the card was completed by adding the (retired) Wonderful Gems.

Enjoy whatever you are doing today!!

Dragonfly Garden Bundle

Hi again,

I am often asked about ideas for masculine cards, so here is one using the Dragonfly Garden Bundle (#156224). However I am sure it would be also suitable for the ladies.

The flowers and dragonfly are both from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411). The dragonfly was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and the flowers were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) on Basic White card (#159228). The flowers and dragonfly were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Mango Melody (#154888), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Poppy Parade (#154958), Rococo Rose (#154900) and Smoky Slate (#154904). The Dragonflies Punch (#154240) cut the dragonfly.

The blue DSP is from the Dandy Garden 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#154297) and attached to the Basic White card base. The next layer is Daffodil Delight card (#121680) which I dry embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718). The card with the flowers was attached to the Daffodil Delight card and the Dragonfly was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

Happy Birthday is from the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421) and stamped with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118). The sentiment and the Misty Moonlight card (#153086) under the sentiment were cut with dies from the Potted Succulents Dies (#154330) and also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also dry embossed the Misty Moonlight label with the Tasteful Textures Embossing Folder.

As usual I added some glimmer to the dragonfly and the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897).

I hope your day has been a great one!!

Masking Technique

Hi friends,

Here’s a technique which is easy to do but looks effective. It’s called the Masking Technique.

This technique allows you to stamp a variety of images which look like they overlap and not stamping over each other. On this card I stamped the smaller flower with Melon Mambo ink (#147051) onto the Basic White card (#1591228). I then stamped this flower onto a Post-it-note and cut the image very close to the lines. I then placed this over the stamped image on the card. I stamped the larger flower using Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) as shown below.

When the post-it-note is removed you get the image of the 2 flowers, one in front of the other.

I also stamped 2 of the larger flowers on the post-it-notes and continued stamping on the card with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and Real Red ink (#147084), covering each stamped image to prevent stamping over the flowers on the card. These flowers are from the Forever & Always stamp set (#154343). The leaves are from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) and stamped with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104), also using the masking technique.

I added some colour to the flowers with Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends (#154896), Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends (#154893), Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958) and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends (#154905). Then I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) to add glitter to the flowers.

The stitching on the card front was achieved with the Stitched With Whimsey Dies (#155314). The sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink, then cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). The edges of the card front and sentiment were also daubered with Gorgeous Grape ink. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attached the sentiment to the card.

The trio of embellishments are from the Pastel Pearls (#154571).

Have a great day!!

Art Gallery Bundle

Hi my friends,

I like fancy fold cards and especially easy ones as this one is.

The card is a normal size card then I scored and folded the card front in half, bending it back towards the “spine”. I cut 2 pieces of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (#154558) and placed them on the card as shown above. A piece of Blushing Bride card (#131287) was attached to the other side of the card.

I cut the Basic White card (#159228) and Silver Foil sheet (#132178) with the same Ornate Layers Die (#152726). The flower from the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421) was stamped with Blushing Bride ink (#147100) and Poppy Parade ink (#147050) onto the Basic White card. I attached the white card to the Blushing Bride card. Then with the front of the card folded, I placed the Silver Foil cut out in place, directly over the white card, making sure you only have adhesive on the left side of the cut out.

The flower and leaves on the front of the card are also from the Art Gallery stamp set using Blushing Bride ink & Poppy Parade ink for the flower and Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) for the leaves. The flower and leaves were cut with the Floral Gallery Dies (#154316). Happy Birthday is also from the Art Gallery stamp set using Poppy parade ink. I used a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820) to cut the sentiment. The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a fantastic day!!

Embossing Paste

Hi everyone,

I have created the bricks for the background using the Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645).

I used a retired mask for the bricks and applied the Embossing Paste on a piece of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (#152494). To apply the paste I used a Palette Knife (#142808) and wiped the paste over the mask onto the DSP. This doesn’t take long to dry, so just set it aside till all the other elements are ready to assemble. 

I attached Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to one side of the Granny Apple Green card (#147014) before cutting the grass using a Friendly Silhouettes Die (#149546). The 2 images from the Garden Shed stamp set (#149247) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708), then coloured with Stampin’ Blends. The colours are Poppy Parade (#154958), Mango Melody (#154888), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Rococo Rose (#154900), Highland Heather (#154887), Smoky Slate (#154904), Bronze & Ivory (#154922), Soft Suede (#154906), Crumb Cake (#154882) & Pumpkin Pie (#154897). These were fussy cut and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Happy Birthday is from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) and stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095), then cut with a Hippo & Friends Die (#153585). The small dragonfly was punched with the Dragonflies Punch (#154240) from the (retired) Black Glitter Paper.

The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550).

I hope your weekend is a relaxing one (perhaps spending time in the garden)!!

I punched the circle with the 2” Circle Punch (#133782) from So Saffron card (#108611). One of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders (#153126) was used to dry emboss the circle.

The dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and punched with the Dragonflies Punch (#154240). I coloured the wings of the dragonfly with So Saffron Stampin’ Blends (#154905) and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends (#154888), then added glitter using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897). I attached the dragonfly to the circle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#147897) was wrapped around the laser-cut paper. “Happy Birthday” from the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421) was stamped with Memento ink and cut with a Floral Gallery Die (#154316), then attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The laser-cut background was glued with the Fine Tip Glue Pen (#138309) on the corners and under the circle and sentiment.

Have a great day!!

Forever & Always Bundle

Hi again my friends,

Here’s a lovely bright and vibrant birthday card using the Forever & Always stamp set (#154343) for the flowers.

The flowers were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were stamped on Pacific Point card (#116202), Poppy Parade card (#154958) and Rich Razzleberry card (#119981). They were then cut with the Always Dies (#154307).

The leaf is from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493). This is gold on one side and white on the reverse. I coloured the white side by daubering with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104). I dry embossed the Basic White (#159228) card front with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). The edge of the card front was daubered with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). The leaf was attached to the card front with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475) was attached to the card and the flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Poppy Parade ink, then cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690). The Gilded Gems (#152478) were added to the card.

I hope your day has been a fantastic one.

True Love Designer Series Paper

Welcome everyone,

These flowers from the True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281) are so easy to colour with the Stampin’ Blends. This DSP is Black & White so can be left as is or coloured - either way looks great but I have enjoyed colouring the flowers.

The colours used are Poppy Parade (#154958), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). The wreath is cut with a Wreath Builder Die (#152722) from Granny Apple Green card (#147014).

The Basic White (#159228) cardfront was dry embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (#149634), then the edges were daubered with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). I attached the wreath using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#192475) was attached to the card and the flowers were placed on top using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment was stamped with Poppy Parade ink, and is from the Many Messages stamp (#154510) and cut with the co-ordinating Messages Die (#154510). I added the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457) to complete the card.

Have a great day!!

Game On

Hi friends,

Here are 2 male cards using the Game On stamp set (#152646) - both the same except for the chess or card images.

The base card and card front are Basic White (#159228). I dry embossed the card front with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317) and sponged the edges with Merry Merlot ink (#147112). Happy Birthday, the chess image and card image were stamped with Merry Merlot ink. The squares were cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies (#152323). The DSP is Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (#152483). The sentiment, DSP and stamped images are all matted with Merry Merlot card (#147005). I punched the sentiment with the Tailored Tag punch (#145667).

To mat the sentiment I punched the Merry Merlot card then cut it in half and attached the white card to the 2 pieces. The sentiment and squares were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a fantastic day!!

Hi again,

I have been absent for a few days as I have had family here from down south and wanted to spend as much time with them as possible but I am back to “work” again.

I love the Quite Curvy Bundle (#156228) which I have used for todays card.

The leaves and birds from the Quite Curvy stamp set (#154430) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228).

The leaves and birds were cut with the Curvy Dies (#154319).

The card front was dry embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). I punched the corner from the Crushed Curry DSP from the 6”x6” Regals Designer Series Paper (#153073) using the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320). This was then attached to the card front.

The sentiment is from the Butterfly Wishes stamp set (#149346) and cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690). This was daubered around the edges with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). The leaves, birds and sentiment were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happy Birthday” from Happy Thoughts stamp set (#154507) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690) was used to cut the sentiment then it was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The butterflies were cut with the Brilliant Wings Dies (#155523). The gold butterflies were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the Purple Posy butterflies were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Gilded Gems (#152478) were added to finish the card.

Have a great day!!
