Beautiful Ordinary Life – All About Me Scrapbook Page

Published on August 23, 2026August 23, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Live with Michele, Scrapbook, Uncategorized

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

Let’s Scrap – All About Me

On Saturday’s Let’s Scrap, I created this 6″ x 8″ scrapbook page for my All About Me album.

For this layout, I used the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®, along with a couple of products from my retired stash.

This page definitely took me out of my comfort zone! I tend to create very symmetrical designs, so using strips of paper, different angles and a more relaxed arrangement was a little different for me. But sometimes it’s fun to step outside your usual style and try something new!

Adding the Little Details

The little cameras were stamped using the Capturing Smiles Bundle and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

Unfortunately, the Floral Flight Accents I used are no longer available, instead you could use any die cuts of leaves in Basic Black. The sentiment is from an older Stampin’ Up! stamp set called Our Story, and I thought it was perfect for these photos of Joe and me through the years.

For the film strip, I used a die I purchased from another supplier. If you don’t have a similar die, you could easily create your own version using a strip of Basic Black Cardstock.

Each of my photos measures 2.5 cm square, which works really well with this 6″ x 8″ layout.

A Little Challenge to Myself

I really enjoyed creating this page because it reminded me that not every scrapbook layout needs to be perfectly balanced or symmetrical. Sometimes those unexpected angles and little differences are what make a page more interesting.

And, of course, the most important part is the memories behind the photos. ❤️

I hope this page gives you a little inspiration to step outside your comfort zone and try something different in your own scrapbooking!

Joyful Friends – When the Card Doesn’t Quite Go to Plan

Published on August 22, 2026August 22, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Christmas, Live with Michele, Uncategorized

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

On Friday’s Live with Michele, I created this card using the Joyful Friends Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!®. This is another Sneak Peak to what is coming next month with the Sept-Dec Catalogue.

When Things Don’t Go to Plan

This was a fun card to make — and not necessarily because it turned out the way I had imagined! There were quite a few little bloopers along the way, and creatively, this one ended up being a bit of a learning experience for me.

For me, the finished card ended up feeling a little too green. If I were to remake it, I think I would use some Designer Series Paper as the card front and play around with the layout a little more.

But that’s the thing about creating — sometimes what we see in our heads doesn’t quite translate onto the card in front of us. And that’s okay!

What I Do Love

Not every card is going to be a favourite, and sometimes the cards that don’t work out exactly as planned are the ones that teach us the most. They give us ideas about what we might change, what we might try next time, and sometimes even lead us in a completely different creative direction.

One part of this card that I am really happy with is the colouring. I enjoyed using the Stampin’ Blends, and I think the Australian animals turned out really well. They certainly add plenty of personality to the card!

So, while this card may not have turned out exactly as I had hoped, I’m still glad I made it. It’s all part of the creative process — try something, see what happens, and then have another go!

And sometimes, that’s where the best ideas come from.

Mosaic Garden Suite Collection – Sneak Peek

Published on August 11, 2026August 9, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Live with Michele, Uncategorized

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape—I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

Here’s another Sneak Peek at the gorgeous Mosaic Garden Suite Collection, coming in the September–December Stampin’ Up! Catalogue.

My Two Heroes 💙

There are two standouts for me in this suite:

🌿 Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper
I love the beautiful small-print designs in this DSP, and of course, there’s plenty of my favourite colour—blue! In this case, it’s the gorgeous Hydrangea Hue.

✨ Tile Garden Dies
These dies are the other hero for me. They feature beautiful square designs and are a wonderful alternative to the much-loved Spotlight on Nature Dies.

My Tip for Using the Dies When Creating a Card Layout

My tip is to die-cut all the Tile Garden Dies in different colours of cardstock and keep the pieces together as your own card layout templates.

You can then move the different shapes and sizes around and layer the pieces in different ways until you find a layout you love. Once you have a design you’re happy with, you can use it as a template to create your next card.

It’s a simple way to play with your dies and plan your card design before you start cutting into your favourite cardstock and Designer Series Paper! 💙

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base Tent Fold	Basic White	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score at 14.9cm
Card Mat	Pretty Peacock	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Front	DSP	3⅞ x 5⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Insert Mat	Prety Peacock	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Insert	Basic White	3⅞ x 5⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Card Front Strip	Old Olive	4 x ⅝”	10 x 1.5cm
Tile Garden Dies	Basic White	4 x 4”	10 x 10cm
Tile Garden Dies	Basic White	2¾ x 2¾”	7 x 7cm

Scrapbook Layout with Beautiful Gallery DSP & Simply Beautiful Bundle

Published on August 9, 2026August 9, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Scrapbooking, Uncategorized

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

A Note About the Products

Before we get started, I should mention that some of the products I’ve used on this page are no longer available. I’m creating this layout using products I already have in my stash, so while some items may still be current, others may have retired or sold out.

Don’t let that stop you from creating, though! You can easily substitute products from your own stash or use the layout as inspiration for your next scrapbook page.

Preserving Family Memories

The photos I’m using today are from my Aunt and Uncle’s wedding in the early 1960s. I don’t have very many details about their wedding, and I only had three photos to work with.

The third photo is tucked under a Flip Flap, and when I find out more details, I’ll be adding the journaling underneath the Flip Flap as well.

These photos have been floating around my craft room for some time, so I thought it was about time they found their way onto a scrapbook page!

How To..

Because these are black-and-white photos, you could really use any colours you like. I decided to use the beautiful Lost Lagoon and Secret Sea Two-Tone Cardstock for my page base.

The Designer Series Paper I used is from the Beautiful Gallery paper pack, now discontinued.

The Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper is 6″ x 6″, which means I needed to create a join in the centre of my 12″ x 12″ page.

To conceal the join a little, I turned one of the papers around until I found a section where the design matched as closely as possible.

Of course, another option would be to add some embellishments across the centre to disguise the join. Sometimes a few strategically placed flowers, leaves or other embellishments are all you need!

For the stamped flowers and leaves, I used the Simply Beautiful Bundle (discontinued). I stamped the images onto Basic Beige Two-Tone Cardstock using Secret Sea Ink.

After cutting the leaves out with the coordinating dies, I used a Blending Brush to add a little more Secret Sea Ink to the leaves, giving them some extra depth and dimension.

The sentiment is from the Beautifully Celebrated Bundle, which I also stamped using Secret Sea Ink.

At the time of writing, the Beautifully Celebrated Bundle is available in the Last Chance section of the Stampin’ Up! Online Store, so if it’s on your wish list, it may be worth checking before it disappears!

More Details to Come

I love that this page gives these old family photos a place to be enjoyed and remembered.

And once I have more details about my Aunt and Uncle’s wedding, I’ll be able to add the story underneath the Flip Flap — making the page even more meaningful.

Sometimes we don’t have all the information when we first start a scrapbook page, and that’s okay. The important thing is getting those precious photos out of the box, off the computer or, in my case, out of the craft room and onto a page where they can be enjoyed!

Christmas Mice

Published on August 4, 2026August 2, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Christmas, Live with Michele, Uncategorized, Water Colour

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

On this week’s Live with Michele, I created this sweet Christmas card using the Christmas Mice Bundle from the A Little Christmas Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up!®. This adorable bundle and suite will be available in September as part of the September–December Catalogue.

Last week I coloured these adorable little mice using Stampin’ Blends, but this week I wanted to show you a different look by using Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Pencils, Blender Pens, and Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.

The design itself is simple, allowing this cute little mouse to take centre stage. I love using Watercolour Pencils because the colours blend so beautifully. With just a Blender Pen or a Water Painter, the pencil lines soften and melt together, creating a lovely hand-painted finish.

TIP:

If you use Basic White Cardstock instead of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, be sure to use a light touch when blending with a Blender Pen or Water Painter. Basic White Cardstock absorbs moisture much more quickly, and overworking it can cause the paper fibres to break down.

A Little Christmas

Published on August 2, 2026August 2, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Christmas, Live with Michele, Uncategorized

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

On this week’s Live with Michele, I created this sweet Christmas card using the A Little Christmas Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up!®. This adorable suite is a sneak peek from the upcoming September–December 2026 Catalogue, and it’s packed with festive inspiration for all your Christmas crafting.

I have completely fallen in love with these cute little mice! They’re full of personality and can be coloured using whatever colouring medium you enjoy most. For today’s card, I used Stampin’ Blends in Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, and Petal Pink to colour the mice, while the gift was brought to life with Cherry Cobbler and a touch of Golden Glow Shimmer Brush for some festive sparkle.

The A Little Christmas Designer Series Paper is incredibly versatile. The “A” sides feature charming Christmas scenes with the adorable mice and festive icons, while the “B” sides offer classic plaids and stripes that will coordinate beautifully with so many Christmas projects throughout the catalogue.

I also couldn’t resist sharing another sneak peek—the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder. It creates such a gorgeous woven texture that adds depth and elegance to your card layers without taking attention away from the beautiful designer paper.

If you’re looking to get a head start on your Christmas crafting, this suite is sure to become a favourite!

A Wonderful Match | Grand Final Scrapbook Page

Published on July 20, 2026July 20, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Live with Michele, Scrapbook, Uncategorized

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

I had so much fun creating this scrapbook layout featuring photos of my son’s Mittagong Under 15 Soccer Team after they won the Grand Final in 2016. When Stampin’ Up!® released the A Wonderful Match Suite Collection, I knew it would be perfect for these memories, so I tucked it away until I found the right photos.

To balance the bold patterned papers, I layered three different designs at varying lengths. This creates plenty of white space, allowing the photos to remain the focal point while softening the busy patterns. I also inked the edges of each paper with Memento Black Ink to add definition and help each layer stand out.

The team’s colours were green and gold, so adding a strip of coordinating cardstock across the page ties the whole layout together and reinforces the theme.

Hidden behind Patrick’s photo is a journaling tag that tells the story of the day, the team’s incredible achievement, and the journey that led them to becoming Grand Final winners. It’s a lovely interactive element that preserves the memories without overwhelming the design.

I hope this layout inspires you to pull out those special sports photos and create a page that celebrates not only the victory but also the friendships and memories made along the way.

Moonlit Flora WV Fun Fold

Published on July 19, 2026July 19, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Fun Fold, Live with Michele, Uncategorized

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, fresh ideas, or simply a creative escape, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

In this week’s Live with Michele, I created a WV Fun Fold Card featuring the beautiful Stampin’ Up!® Moonlit Flora Suite Collection.

The card base is made from Solid Core Cardstock, while the decorative layers use Designer Series Paper and Two-Tone Cardstock. Using Two-Tone Cardstock helps keep the overall card lighter, as it’s slightly thinner than standard cardstock while still providing a lovely coordinating layer.

If you’re concerned about the finished card becoming too bulky for posting, simply leave off the mat layers on Card Base A and add mat layers to Card Base B only. You’ll still achieve the beautiful layered look while keeping the card slimmer and easier to mail.

Create Elegant Foiled Butterflies with the NEW Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil System

Published on July 12, 2026July 12, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Facebook Live, Live with Michele, Stampin' Hot Foil Dies, Uncategorized

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape—I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

The wait is finally over! On Friday’s Live with Michele, I introduced the NEW Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil System, and I had so much fun sharing this exciting new addition to our crafting tools.

If you’ve been wondering how the Hot Foil System works, this project is the perfect place to start. We explored just how easy it is to add beautiful metallic shine and elegant details to your handmade cards.

Beautiful Foiled Butterflies

Our first step was creating a collection of gorgeous butterflies using the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies Bundle and the coordinating Masks.

The Hot Foil Dies create stunning foiled designs, while the coordinating Masks make it easy to add colour and dimension. By combining the two, we created butterflies with beautiful shimmer and vibrant colour that are perfect for cards, scrapbook layouts and other paper crafting projects.

Creating the Card

Once our butterflies were complete, we used the Moonlit Flora Suite Collection to create an elegant floral card.

The soft floral elements from the suite paired beautifully with the shimmering butterflies, creating a design that feels both delicate and eye-catching. Sometimes just a touch of foil is all you need to take a project from lovely to truly special.

Why You’ll Love the Hot Foil System

The new Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil System makes it simple to add professional-looking foil accents to your projects. Whether you’re creating cards, scrapbook layouts, gift packaging or home décor, the beautiful foiled finish adds that extra touch of elegance.

With a wide range of Hot Foil Dies and coordinating products becoming available, there are so many creative possibilities to explore.

Question

Q.Can you use the Big Shot?

A. No, the Stampin’ Up! Cut & Emboss Machine is slightly wider and the Hot Foil Machine is made for the Cut & Emboss.

Q. What is hot foiling?

A. Hot foiling is a technique that uses heat and pressure to transfer metallic or coloured foil onto paper, cardstock, and more. The result is a shiny, professional-looking finish, similar to what you see on luxury stationery or packaging. You can experiment foiling on different materials to see what shines.

Q. What tools do I need for hot foiling?

A. You’ll need:

Stampin’ Hot Foil System
Specially-made hot foil dies (IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling. You cannot die cut using foiling dies. Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.)
Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls
Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Q. What kind of foil should I use?

A. Use Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, which are specifically made for the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.

Q. What materials can be hot foiled?

A. Hot foiling works best on:

Two-Tone Cardstock
Smooth cardstock (Our Basic White Cardstock works great!)
Stampin’ Up! vellum
Designer Series Paper
Window Sheets
Pearlized Specialty Paper

Always test small samples first. Porous or textured papers can yield inconsistent results.
