Wild & Sweet

Hi stamping friends,

As an Aussie I am so pleased to have this cute koala as part of the Wild & Sweet stamp set (#158775). We have the occasional koala on our property which is always very exciting to see them just outside our door.




The koala was stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). I used Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) for the leaves and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) for the branch as well as some Granny Apple Green. I lightly coloured the sky with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Balmy Blue ink (#147105). The koala image and the Mossy Meadow card (#133683) were cut with the Layering Diorama dies (#155565).

For the card front I used Very Vanilla Card (#106550). I dragged one edge of the Soft Sea Foam ink pad (#147102) down the card. The leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) were stamped onto the card with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111), Old Olive Ink (#147090) and Pear Pizzazz ink (#147104). Next I dragged the VersaMark pad (#102283) twice down the card to cover the entire card. Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) was sprinkled over the entire card, then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This gives a lovely shine over the whole card.

“Hello” is from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) and stamped with Mossy Meadow ink. A Beautiful Shapes Die (#158046) was used to cut the sentiment. The koala & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Texture Chic

Hello everyone,

I love the elegance of the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158808). This paper has gold designs on one side of each sheet and the other sides have a beautiful range of designs which co-ordinate with the Season Of Chic stamp set (#158810). I have used the beautiful shells for this card.





The DSP was matted with Petal Pink card (#147009). I cut another piece of DSP with a Layering Diorama Die (#155565) and attached this to the card front. I backed a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and cut this with a die from the Chic dies (#158815), then adhered it to the card. The base card is Basic White.

I stamped the 2 shells from the Season Of Chic stamp set, one on Basic White card and the 2nd on Petal Pink card using Petal Pink ink (#147108). These shells and the Gold Foil shells from the Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524) were cut with the Chic dies. 

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped with Petal Pink ink. The circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183). The sentiment and one of the shells were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Cottage Rose

Hi friends,

One of my favourite stamp sets in the Annual catalogue is the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040) and it’s easy to colour with your favourite colouring tools.




I stamped the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This ink is great when colouring with Stampin’ Blends as I have done on this card. The Stampin’ Blends used are Starry Sky (#159222) for the flower, Soft Succulent (#155521) for the leaves and Sweet Sorbet (#159224) for the buds. I also used the Color Lifter (#144608) to remove some colour from the flower to give more variation in the colours. I also used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add that little bit of sparkle to the flower. This was then cut with a Cottage Flowers Die (#159047).

The Vellum 12”x12” Layering Design (#157764) was matted with Starry Sky card (#159264). I attached this with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) on the 4 corners then added the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots (#159186) on top as the glue dots will show through the vellum.

I wrapped the Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon (#159198) around the card front before attaching this to the Basic White card base (#159228).

“Happy Birthday” is also from the Cottage Rose stamp set and stamped with Starry Sky ink (#159212). A Frosted Flurry Die (#159811) was used to cut the sentiment. The flower & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Best Wishes” from Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). A die from the Stylish Shapes (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Timber 3D Embossing folder (#156406). I daubered the edges with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216) before attaching this to the Basic White base card.

I attached a strip of the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) to the card front, then attached the matted stamped image. “Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

Hues Of Happiness

Hi again,

I love the vibrant colours in the Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper (#158822). This also co-ordinates with the Happiness Abounds Bundle (#158824).

The sentiment, flower & leaves were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were added to the sentiment.

TIP: Some of this designer paper has flower & leaf images that co-ordinate with the dies which makes this suite very versatile.

Splendid Day Suite

Hello again friends,

There are many advantages of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and one is getting together with people from different countries around the world. We did this a few weeks ago, although virtually, but better than nothing. On this occasion we had hours of stamping fun together using the Splendid Day Suite (#159681). Here are my versions of 2 of the cards.




For the first card, Basic White (#159228) is the base card. I dry embossed the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). The beautiful Splendid Day 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159666) was attached to the embossed card. 

I used Blending Brushes (#153611) to add Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) to the Basic White card. I stamped the bees with the same coloured inks. This was attached to the cardfront, then I wrapped the Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon (#159680) around this.

“Let’s Celebrate” from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set (#159668) was stamped with Fresh Freesia ink and cut with a Splendid Stems Die (#159676). The fine leaves were cut from Soft Sea Foam card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) with Splendid Stems Dies.

Of course for the 2nd card, the same stamp set, dies and designer paper were used. The card front is Calypso Coral (#124392) and dry embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (#149643). Petal Pink card (#147009) was used for the stamped leaf on the left. Both leaves were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems (#159967) were added to the card.

Wonderful World Stamp Set & Designer Series Paper

Hello again,

Today I am using the Wonderful World Stamp Set & Wonderful World Designer Series Paper (#159918) - another beautiful Sale-a-bration product.




The floral designer paper was matted with Rich Razzleberry card (#119981), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The larger tag was cut with one of the Designer Tags Dies (#159165) then dry embossed with the Gingham Embossing Folder (#157627).

The flower from the Wonder World stamp set was stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091) and Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104). To stamp the 2 colours, I used the Stamparatus (#148187). I used a post it note to cover the stem when inking the flower, stamped the flower, then covered the flower when inking the stem, then stamped the stem. This was also cut with a Designer Tags Die. 

The smaller piece of DSP is the reverse of the floral DSP. This was attached to the card. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink, then cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). The flower and sentiment were both attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Rings Of Love Designer Series Paper

Hi my stamping friends,

Another sale-a-bration product is the Rings Of Love 12”X12” Designer Series Paper (#159939) and that is where you will find these cute little birds.




This DSP and the Crushed Curry card (#131288) were cut with the Deckled Rectangles dies (#159173). I used the Night Of Navy from the Brushstoke 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159250) for the card front. I wrapped the Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) around the card front, then attached it to the Basic White card base (#159228).

“Hello” is from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052) and stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). This was also cut with a Deckled Rectangle die. The die I used was too long for this sentiment so when I cut the sentiment, I repositioned the die to cut it shorter as shown.



I often do this when the die is larger than I need.

The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and a retired embellishment from the Holiday Rhinestones was added.

I attached the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper to the card. A die from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) was used to cut the circle. This DSP is also from the Texture Chic.

I stamped the tea cup from the Cup Of Tea stamp set (#158661) using VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’Emboss Powder (#155555) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). A co-ordinating die from the Teacup Dies (#160186) cut the cup. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach this to the card.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Season Of Chic stamp set (#158810) and this was also gold embossed. The sentiment & the Gold Foil (#132622) under the sentiment were cut with Stylish Shapes Dies.

TIP: Some of the embossing folders are suitable to use the front or the back, so just look at both sides to see which one you like.

Cottage Rose Bundle

Hello,

These gorgeous flowers are from the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040). This stamp set & the Cottage Flowers Dies (#159047) are available together with in the Cottage Rose Bundle (#159048) which saves you 10%.




All the images were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). To colour these I used Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958), Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892). These were then cut with the Cottage Flowers Dies.

The base card is Basic White (#159228). The Poppy Parade card (#121694) was dry embossed with the Stripes from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder (#157980), then attached to the card.

I cut a piece of Gold foil from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock (#153524) with a die from the Fabuolous Frames (#159163). This was attached using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to a piece of the Gold spot DSP from the Silver & Gold 6”x6” Specialty Paper (#159941) which is a sale-a-bration product. This was taped to the base card. The stamped images were then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals & Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

“Happy Birthday” also from the Cottage Rose stamp set was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183). As usual I like to add some glimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897).

Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper

Hello stamping friends,

I am using Sale-a-bration products on this card again today. The flowers are from the same sheet of Wonderful World Designer Series Paper (#159918) as I used on yesterdays card. These flowers were fussy cut.




Basic White card (#159228) was used for the base card. The silver spotted paper is from the Silver & Gold 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#159941) from Sale-a-bration. I coloured this with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104).

I cut the Silver Foil from the Silver Foil 12”x12” Specialty Pack (#156457) with a die from the Designer Tags Dies (#159165). This was attached to the DSP which was matted with Old Olive card (#147090). The flower was attached on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Best Wishes” from the Happiness Abounds stamp set (#159238) was stamped with Pear Pizzaz ink, then cut with a Seasonal Labels Die (#156299). The bow was made with the Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon (#159680) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The silver pearls from the Festive Pearls (#159963) were added to the flower centres.

Wonderful World Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

There are so many beautiful Sale-a-bration products which are available till the 31st August with qualifying sales. The Wonderful World stamp set plus the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper (#159918) are free with a $180 purchase (in Australia).




I fussy cut 2 of the flowers from one of the sheets of DSP. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers for some glimmer.

The base card is Basic White (#159228). I adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to another piece of Basic White card and cut this with the die from the Organic Beauty Dies (#158983). This was trimmed so it was slightly smaller than the frame (which was attached on top.) The die-cut was attached to the base card. The frame was cut with a Fabulous Frames Die (#159163) using Foil from the Silver Foil 12”x12” Specialty Pack (#156457). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091) and cut with a Frosted Flurry die (#159811) and also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
