Stampin' Up! Playful Alphabet - Love Card

-

I've been at it again with the blends! I love this technique - here I've taken my Roccoco Rose and Highland Heather blends coloured randomly in a diagonal direction on a piece of vellum, and then flicked some drops of alcohol (I used 100% alcohol, but rubbing alcohol will do). the vellum is then layered onto Purple Posy cardstock and onto the main Whisper White card base. So simple, but such a beautiful effect.


The focal piece is from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper - there are so many pieces in the one packet, I have made so many cards from it. The letters are from the new Playful Alphabet Die set, and I have layered a few on top of each other to get some dimension. A little accent from the Gilded Gems, and you have a finished card!


I added another little strip to add some decoration to the inside too...

Happy stamping!

Crazy Crafters Swaps - 2021 Annual & Mini Catalogues

-
Image
  In light of the new Holiday Mini Catalogue, the Crazy Crafters have been swapping again! I made 10 of these beautiful cards using new product, and I received 10 different beautiful cards in return! These lovely peaches come from the new Sweet as a Peach stamp set, that has a suite of products including a set of dies (which I used to cut out the peaches) and some Designer Series Paper. The square with the stripy design comes from the DSP, but the collection also has some other beautiful peachy designs 😋 Sometimes I like to make clean looking cards that aren't over the top with embellishments, and the peaches just give it a nice fresh look. Here's how I made my swap card: To give the peaches some depth, I inked them up with Pale Papaya ink, then used a sponge dauber to add some Cajun Craze ink. I did the same with the leaves by using Granny Apple Green and adding a bit of Garden Green with the sponge dauber.  I lay down some Linen Thread in loose circles and adhered my stripy...

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...
