Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper

Hello and welcome,

I love the bright colours on the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (#154558). As usual there are more subtle colours and designs on the reverse but I have chosen to use the beautiful red design for this card.



This designer paper co-ordinates with the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421), so I have added some gold to 2 of the flowers using the Gilded Leafing (#154560). I stamped the part flower image from the Art Gallery Stamp set onto the flowers and some circles from the Comfort & Hope Stamp set (#152509) randomly on the DSP. These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283), then the Heat and Stick Powder (#156110) is sprinkled over the stamped images. Remove the excess powder, then heat with the Heat Tool (#129056). This doesn’t take long. Once it becomes shiny it is ready and it will stay sticky. Gently place the Gilded Leafing over the top and press firmly. Using a firm brush or sponge remove the excess gilded leaf and this can be returned to the remainder of the leaf so it’s not wasted.
I cut “happy birthday” using the Well Written Dies (#151816). These were cut from the Foam Adhesive Sheets (#152815). As these have adhesive on both sides. I attached the words to the card, then after removing the release paper from the top I added the Gilded Leafing on top. I pressed the gilded leafing firmly onto the foam adhesive then using a firm brush removed the excess.
The DSP was attached to the Poppy Parade card (#121694), then to the Whisper White Base card.

Stay safe, stay home & keep crafting!!

Flowering Vine Dies

Welcome friends,

Have you seen the beautiful Flowering Vine Dies (#154332) in the current mini catalogue. I love the 3 detailed flowering designs - one rectangular, one circle and one oval.




The designer series paper is the Oh So Ombre DSP (#155225) from Sale-a-bration. I have used 2 different sheets - the plain Ombre look and the patterned piece. The DSP was attached to the Rococo Rose card (#150888) then I wrapped the Blushing Bride 3/8” Metallic Ribbon (#154284) around the card front. This was attached to the Whisper White card base (#106549).
I cut the Champagne Foil Sheet (#144748) with the die. I had the Foil Sheet backed with the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) as this makes attaching the more detailed cut outs to the card so much easier.
I stamped the butterflies from Floating & Fluttering stamp set (#154424) using VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These butterflies were cut with the Fluttering Dies (#154318). There are dies in this set to cut the butterflies separately or as a group. I have used the individual dies. I coloured the butterflies with Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends (#154900), then used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) for the sparkle. The butterflies were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
The sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368) was stamped with Rococo Rose ink (#150080), then cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) and also attached with Dimensionals.

Don’t forget about Sale-a-bration, where you get free products with each $90 purchase of Stampin’ Up! products from the current catalogues. If you want more information contact me or go to- lesleyjendra.stampinup.net

Gilded Leafing Embellishment

Hi Ladies & guys,

I have had fun playing with the new Gilded Leafing Embellishment (#154560) on these seashells from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368) and I love the finished product.




To use the Gilded Leafing, stamp the images of the shells with VersaMark (#102283) then add Heat & Stick powder (#156110) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The powder becomes sticky once heated. Then carefully add the Gold Gilded Leafing over the stamped images, press the gilded leaf firmly onto the image then using a firm brush, wipe the excess away. The excess can be added back into the rest of the leafing so it’s not wasted. The cardstock I used for the shells was Very Vanilla (#106550), Blushing Bride (#131287) and So Saffron (#108611). Next I cut the shells with the die from the Seaside Seashells Dies (#156095) and dry embossed with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (#154309). Dry embossing these shells made a huge difference to the look of the shells.
The card front is Seaside Spray (#150889) and dry embossed with the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder (#152700). I lightly daubered over the embossed areas with Seaside Spray ink (#150085), then the cardfront was attached to the Very Vanilla base card. 
The sentiment is from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set. I stamped this using the Stamparatus (#148187) with Seaside Spray ink. Then I re-inked it with VersaMark and added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) and set with the Heat Tool. This gives a shine to the coloured ink. The sentiment was then cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664).
I cut pieces of the seaweed using the Seaside Seashells Dies from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) to add some glitter to the seaweed. These were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The shells and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Stay safe, stay home & keep crafting!!

Vine Design Bundle

Hi again everyone,

With the sudden lockdown around Brisbane, I have had to cancel everything over the next 4 days, so I have had a bit of extra time in my craft room today which is a positive. 
I have made this card using new products from the Mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration.




I stamped the leaves from the Vine Design stamp set (#154488) using Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) onto the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (#155225). This DSP is free from Sale-a-bration with a $90 order. After stamping, I dry embossed the DSP with the Sublte 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). The die cut piece was cut with a Flowering Vine Die (#154332) from Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291). I attached this to the DSP with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).
The flowers and sentiment are from the Vine Design stamp set (#154488) and were stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052), Blushing Bride ink (#147100) and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). The sentiment was cut with a die from the Flowering Vine Dies and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The stamped flowers were also cut with the Flowering Vine Dies and also attached with Dimensionals. Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the flowers and sentiment.
The base card is Whisper White. Don’t forget Basic White card (#159228) is now replacing Whisper White card and is available to purchase.

Stay safe, stay home and keep crafting!!

Flower & Field Designer Series paper

Hi again everyone,

As you probably realise, Sale-a-bration has started, which means you get free products with each $90 you spend on Stampin’ Up! products from either of the current catalogues. The Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (#155223) is a Sale-a-bration product.





The base card is Whisper White. This is being replaced with Basic White card (#159228) which is now available to order. I dry embossed the White cardfront with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317) and daubered the edges with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). The Poppy  Parade card (#121694) was cut with a die from the Ornate Borders Dies (#152724). The Flower & Field Designer Series Paper was attached to the card.
The sentiment from Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink. The sentiment and the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) were cut with Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The butterfly, also from the Gold Foil Sheet, was cut with a die from the Fluttering Dies (#156239). I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the butterfly to the card, then added the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924) to the body of the butterfly.

Enjoy your day!!
