Stampin' Up! Retiring Set Highlight - Beautiful Friendship

-

 


We are coming to the end of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue sales period, which means we are saying goodbye to some lovely products, so don't miss your chance to get these beauties (and a bargain too!). I want to show you some of my faves before they go 😢



This is the 'Beautiful Friendship' set... Oh, I'm going to miss this one! It's so pretty, and you don't have to do a lot to get a pretty card! Let me show you...

The first card I made is a simple stamping card, using just cardstock and ink - this set is a great simple-stamping set because the images are so lovely that they do the work for you! I've used Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Terracotta Tile inks, which are all In-Colours, coming to the end of their time.



Next, I stepped it up just a little with some layering and a bit of ribbon. This set also has a lovely selection of sentiments - I love a set that has beautiful images mixed with lovely sentiments. That makes this set a great beginners set too, because all you need is just one set to make an array of great cards. Another of my faves is the Braided Linen Trim, which we are also farewelling.



This third card I made is for the avid crafter - I took a little time to stamp and then cut out each of the flowers and leaves to give a crisper finish, and added some embellishments. I don't want to say good bye to these beautiful hoops, but they're going, along with the Champagne Foil Sheets that I used to layer this card, and the Stitched Nested Labels Dies as well.



Don't miss your opportunity to grab a bargain and get some retiring products - these are only while stocks last so don't wait! Click on the images below to buy in my store.


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

-
Image
  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 ...
