Stampin' Up! Forever Fern - Friendship Card

-



Thanks for stopping by to see this week's creation from the Forever Greenery suite! As you know, I love the greens from this suite and loved seeing people's creations using all of the contrasting greens together. However, I love the little inclusion of a bit of pink or purple to really have that beautiful contrast. I used a mix of Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy, Vellum, and gold specialty paper to make this creation.


I made the card by layering a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock on a Whisper White base and adding a smaller layer of Whisper White cardstock that has been embossed with the new Old World Paper 3D embossing folder - this is my new favourite embossing folder!
I wrapped a piece of ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season combo pack around the layers before adhering them to the base.
The piece of Forever Gold specialty paper was adhered with glue dots, the sentiment with dimensional, and each of elements carefully stuck underneath with glue dots as well.
The sentiment has been stamped with white heat embossing and layered with a stitched shape, and the layering circles dies - staples for any die collection!


Nothing goes to waste with me! That strip of gold is an off-cut from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut paper; a nice little touch for the inside of the card 💖

I have made a list of products used in this project that you can view here!

Happy stamping!

x Lauren

Stampin' Up! One Sheet Wonder - Paper Blooms

-
Image
  I made 14 beautiful cards from 1 sheet of 12"x12" (31.5cmx31.5cm) Designer Series Paper! And guess what! I got the whole stack of Designer Series Paper for free!! In the month of February, if you spend $90 or more, you can choose a free item (and this is one of the options!). I designed a breakdown of the sheet of DSP to suit Australian card sizes, and so that nothing goes to waste. I then layered each piece with some Night of Navy cardstock by adding 3mm to each measurement (that way, just a peak of colour borders the design piece).  The cute little butterflies come from the Floating & Fluttering set - it has a big stamp as part of the set that has a college of butterflies and leaves, that matches with a die in the coordinating set. I stamped 4 of these and cut them out in a flash! ...and I used all of them across the 14 cards as a feature. I used a combination of sentiments from other sets (see full list below). I chose a selection of ribbons and sentiments to go with

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance - Thanks Card

-
Image
  There's a beautiful new bundle available called Butterfly Brilliance, which includes a stamp set, dies, some designer series paper, and some specialty paper: Today I want to show you a card I made using the beautiful dies from this bundle - There are 6 large butterfly dies, that have an extra die to cut out a detailed overlay, which is featured in my card today. The background is made with vellum, layered onto some white cardstock. I then used a variety of Stampin' Blends to colour the vellum, starting with the darker of the blues and working out. I then flecked it with some isopropyl alcohol to make the bubbly look. Once properly dry, I used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to lay out a line of adhesive and stuck the Gilded Leafing Embellishment on top of it, pressing it down on the glue, then rubbing off the excess. It leaves an uneven smattering of gold that is just perfect! the Fine-Tip Glue Pen works great for this as it doesn't dry tacky so any exposed glue once dry will not i

Crazy Crafters Swaps - 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue

  It's swaps time again! For those of you who don't know, I'm part of the Crazy Crafters Team, and for each new catalogue, we will do "swaps" where we each make 10 of the same card, and send them off to our team leader, who mixes them up and sends us 10 different cards back. I love it because I get to see the creativity of my peers, but also some new sets that I may not have considered before :) This is the card I made and sent to my peers using the Expressions in Ink suite of products - I used some of the designer series paper to layer underneath and used the large die cut in Basic White, and made a white layer with a circle shape cut out. The sentiment was stamped in white embossing onto Basic Black cardstock and cut around the edge, then finished it with some Matte Black Dots. A full list of products used is listed at the bottom, but first, check out the swaps I received from my talented peers! Aren't they a talented bunch! You can find all of the products
