Stampin' Up! Hand Penned Petals - Birthday Card

-

 


This suite of products is just so delicately beautiful - I think you could chuck together anything from this suite and have a lovely card! For this one, I used the stamp set, dies and DSP (designer series paper) from the suite and took a sentiment from the Timeless Tropical set.

Lately I have not been feeling very creative, and have found it difficult to build the motivation to make cards. Catalogue to the rescue! Did you know our catalogues are also called "Idea Books"?? When I'm not feeling the crafting mojo, I flick through the catalogue to get inspiration (Pinterest is good too!) and I got inspiration for today's card from this image from page 25 of the catalogue:


As you can see, I didn't use any of the same products, but I did a bit of colouring, a bit of embossing, and used a pretty strip of DSP! So mine actually turned out looking quite different, but the creative mojo kicked in! 


The hand-penned stamp set has stamps that act as colour-filler for the flowers, but I used the Blends today to do some colouring. I used the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder - I just love how such a simple step can add such character to a card! I added some embellishments as well - the Simply Elegant Trim and Elegant Faceted Gems (they definitely added the elegance!).

If you are interested in any of the products I have used today, check them out in store by clicking on the images below! Want a catalogue? Get in touch and I'll get one out to you 😀

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
