Crazy Crafters Swaps - On Stage At Home Nov 2020

-


 It's that time again! Swaps time! 

If we were in normal times, I would currently be off having fun at the Stampin' Up! On Stage event that they hold twice a year for demonstrators, where I would be celebrating achievements, watching crafting demonstrations and getting a sneak peak at the new MINI CATALOGUE! But this time around, we are celebrating a different way with On Stage@Home - it's been a great alternative to the face-to-face event, but one thing we would normally get to do is SWAPS, where we make a stack of cards and swap them out with cards made by people we meet.
So to make up for this, our wonderful leaders in the Crazy Crafters team, Kylie and Bruno Bertucci, have facilitated a remote swap! I sent off 10 cards and received 10 in return made by my peers 😊



For my card, I used the wonderful Well Written dies and cut out all of the white shapes - the little leaf shape and circle are shapes left from cutting out the other flowers and vines. I arranged everything on a piece of Night of Navy cardstock that I embossed with the Subtle embossing folder, then took a piece of Glad Press 'n' Seal to stick over the top - it's a bit like plastic wrap but has a low-tack stick to it so it picks up all of the little white pieces. I added liquid glue to each piece and then flipped it back on top of the Night of Navy piece to stick down. A little fiddly, but worth it I think!
I took a small piece of the Mint Macaron ribbon from the Basket Weave and Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack and then layered a die-cut "thanks" from the Well Written dies that I layered 3 times for dimension.

And now...

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 ...
