Stampin' Up! Whale Done - Love Card

-

Let me introduce you to the Whale of a Time Suite 😮 isn't it adorable?! I've tried to use elements of each of the items in the suite - firstly, check out this loveable Whale Builder Punch!! I'm not usually a fan of the "builder" type punches but this one was irresistible and I definitely don't regret getting it 😍
One of my favourite items from this suite is actually the Seabed 3D embossing folder - the strip in the middle has been embossed with this folder and then I have sponged it with Bermuda Bay, and Seaside Spray inks to make the images stand out, but really, this embossing folder looks lovely without the extra colour added.
The sequin pack includes 3 different colour blues, and the beautiful shells. I have carefully glued these with liquid glue - I'm definitely a perfectionist and needed to place them the way I liked 😂

The sentiment and heart were stamped in the new in-colour Magenta Madness, and a bit of clear embossing over the top to make it stand out even more.
I layered the embossed piece with some silver foil cardstock and wound some linen thread to give a netting kind of look.

If you're interested in any of the products I have used, you can find a list 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

  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
