Stampin' Up! Playing with Patterns - 3"x3" Card Set

-

 


I decided to make a simple set of 3"x3" cards with NO STAMPING this week! For the purpose of showcasing these two sets of dies - the Playful Alphabet, and Well Written dies.


These cards were so simple to make and I then made a little box to accompany them, and will give them all together as a gift. In fact, that gift will be given as a prize for someone who shops with me in the month of August. So jump on and make an order, and you will go into the running to get this set of cards!



This is just a simple little box that I designed to fit four cards and envelopes. All four cards and box use DSP as a base from the Playing with Patterns set - isn't it beautiful?! I'm in love with the in-colour Purple Posy, so I picked five of the papers with this as the prominent colour. Each card is layered with Night of Navy cardstock and uses Whisper White as a base.


I achieved this look by cutting the letters out, and then layering a couple of Night of Navy letters underneath, which gives it a shadowing effect. The 'birthday' is cut with Calypso Coral.


I used the same layering strategy with these letters for the shadow effect, and Calypso Coral for 'happy', and added some Playing with Patterns Resin Dots.

The 'love you' is cut from Magenta Madness and the X O from Whisper White and Smoky Slate, with a little Linen Thread for the bow, adhered with a glue dot.


This is the simplest of the bunch - it is just the 'hooray' cut from the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper - that's it! Any I think it is my fave of the bunch. So simple, and so pretty! It goes to show you how far a nice set of Designer Series Paper can go - #loveitchopit !

Below is a list of products I used..

Happy stamping!

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 ...
