Everyday You & Me

Published on February 10, 2025February 9, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Scrapbook, Uncategorized

Today I am taking part in the Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop, I am using the ‘Everyday You and Me Scrapbooking Workshop Kit‘ by Stampin’ Up!®. This Kit has all the products in it to create 3 double page layouts, including all the cutting guides, Designer Series Paper, sticker sheet, die cuts and photo placement mats.

Extras you can also purchase are..

Everyday You & Me Bundle – stamps and dies
Everyday Happenings Designer Series Paper and Sticker Sheet – 4 each of 3 Double sided papers
Everyday you & Me Two-Tone cardstock
Everyday Happenings DSP -4 each of 3 Double sided papers, NO STICKER SHEET

The Everyday You & Me DSP are stunning and even though it has a floral them they can be used for any gender or age. For my layout which is an alternative layout I’ve only used the papers from the workshop kit. I have added elements created using the Seaside Wishes Bundle and Beauty of the Deep Dies.

The story – Seashells & Sand

Recently I was sorting through all my photos trying to get into some sort of order and I came across these photos of my youngest son, Patrick. This was a special holiday….when our boys turned 7years old Joe took them on a holiday, 2 days away doing whatever they wanted. It was a special weekend for father and son to bond. Patrick choose to go to Jarvis Bay to see the Whales or Dolphins, stay with some special friends and to have an adventure.

This is the first layout of a possible 3 layouts.

How I created my page…

Layout

This is a very simple layout as the paper is stunning with a was of colours across the page. I turned one page around so the beige to brown tones almost look like they are going diagonal across both sheets of paper.

To add more texture to the page I teared 1″ (2.5cm) from the top and bottom. By tearing towards myself I was left with the white core of the DSP showing. The reverse side of main DSP is this beautiful elongated spot and I just could through it away, so by flipping it over I was able to slip it under the top sheet to add another layer of texture.

The base of my layout is Pretty Peacock using the lighter side of the Two-Tone Cardstock.

The main photo has been double matted with Basic White and the lighter side of the Pretty Peacock Two-Tone cardstock.The 4 3 x 4″ photos on the left side was just matted on a single mat in the Two-Tone Pretty Peacock.

Die Cuts

Two-Tone Pretty Peacock, dark side – Coral from Beauty of the Deep Bundle.
Basic Beige – Sand Dollars cut with the Seaside Wishes 3D Embossing folder & Die, lightly coloured with a blending brush and Pecan Pie Ink.
Petal Pink – die cut coral from the Seaside Wishes Dies.
Misty Moonlight – Stamped starfish with Night of Navy Ink and die cut using the Seaside Wishes Bundle.

Journal

I love creating my text in Publisher using a text box. I can set this to the finished size I want and by making it to ‘Best Fit’ it will automatically adjust the font size as I go. You just need to be aware that if you have a lot to say, the font size can become a bit small. This can sometimes be fixed by adjusting the size of the Text Box.

I printed the story onto Avery Matte Clear Shipping Labels (purchased through Amazon- sorry No Link, unable to find in AU)

Title

My title I created through my Silhouette Cameo, using Basic White and Pretty Peacock Cardstock (solid core)

Mixed Media Florals

Published on January 8, 2025January 8, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Live with Michele, Scrapbooking, Uncategorized

On Christmas Day all my boys were home, for the first time in a few years all of them have been together. Two of my boys brought home their partners, two beautiful girls, Georgia and Maddy.

These girls jumped in and helped me prepare Christmas Lunch…It’s so nice having more girls in the family as it has only been me. So having two beautiful daughter (by other mothers), I took the chance and took a photo or selfie of the 3 of us (or Georgia did for me).

It’s a beautiful photo and I wanted to create a special page. As yet I’m still to print the photo, so there is no photo on my page. I will print it as a 4 x 6″ and trim it down to 3 7/8″ to fit on the 4″ mat in Basic White.

I created this page using the beautiful Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card by Stampin’ Up!®. The Mixed Media Florals are one of the products found in the NEW Jan-April 2025 Mini Catalogue, also in the Online exclusives Stampin’ Up! have also released the Mixed Media Floral Suite Collection. Which includes-

Mixed Media Florals Bundle
Mixed Labels Bundle
Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper
Plaster painting 3D Embossing Folder
Low Profile Dots

For this layout I wanted to show how you can use the Memories & More Cards for a more traditional layout, so I created my layout using the 3 x 4″ Mixed Media Cards placed around the 4″ square in the center. The end cards on the top and bottom rows I had to trim down to 2 x 4″, as I wanted a staggered pattern.

Embellishments

Using the Changing Leaves bundle I die cut 6 sets of leaves. I then coloured these lightly with a blending brush and Shy Shamrock Ink. I had also die cut 3 sets of leaves in Basic Black to use instead of the white leaves and had decided not to use them..After my ‘Live’ had finished I decided they would help make the lighter leaves ‘Pop’

The left side large flower and banner embellishments was fussy cut from one of the larger 4 x 6″ cards and it looks stunning with the Boho Blue 3 x 4″ card behind it. I hopped it up on demensionals with leaves die cut from the Changing Leaves Bundle.

The top center embellishment was die cut using one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added dimensionals to the back and attached it to a Basic Black flagged banner, also from the Stylish shapes. I then added leaves Shy Shamrock leaves, then latter adding the black leaves also.

The last embellishment is one of the stickers that comes with the cards. After removing the stickiness with my embossing buddy I attached it to a white banner with dimensions and again slipping the leaves underneath the sticker.

To finish of my layout I added some Ladybird stickers from the sticker sheet and a double bow in white bakers twine.

Tip: I like to add dimensions or glue only to the center areas of my embellishments that allows me room to slip leaves etc underneath. I create this maybe similar to a florist where they work out there main flowers and bring them together before adding in the fillers.

Classic Wedding

Published on November 14, 2024November 10, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Uncategorized, Wedding/Engagment

My card today was created with the Classic Wedding Bundle from the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives.

How to make this card…

Here is some of my working tips in creating this card…

I created my own Designer Series Paper for the card by stamping the Classic Wedding images onto a quarter sheet of Basic beige cardstock using Basic Beige Ink Pad and then trimming it down to the required size.
- I decided to start from the centre and work outwards. Instead of starting with a whole card in the middle I went with two cars side by side in the middle. Then stamped partial cars around it.
- The gaps in between the cars is substantial, so filled them in with the hearts and Cheers.
- I decorated the boots of the cars with the ‘Just Married’ and leaf stamps.
The leaves were left over from another project and the roses I created when I created a Classic Wedding card on a recent ‘Live with Michele’…HERE’s the Link.
- I dragged the Bubble Bath ink pad across some Basic White cardstock with small short strokes in different directions to give texture. Then die cut the roses, some of the roses may have more white then pink or different shades of the pink.
The Card Insert Strip was stamped with the hearts and Cheers stamps.

Cutting Measurements

Classic Wedding

Published on November 9, 2024November 9, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Uncategorized, Wedding/Engagment

This is such a cute card and was so much fun to make. The Classic Wedding Bundle by Stampin’ Up!® is a new product found in the Online Exclusives. I have so many ideas flying around in my head of cards I want to make with this.

The stamps have outline stamps and other stamps that can be used to colour the images. You could also use your blends or watercolour pencils to colour these images. There are dies that cut out the image but also add dimension with window frames, bumper bar and lights. Why not let your imagination go…what can you create?

See the video below to see how this card was created.

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Published on November 4, 2024November 3, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Christmas, Let's Craft Together, Uncategorized

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Colour Challenge’ by Monique and I am using the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle and Peaceful Season Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®.

Winterly Tree Tops & Peaceful Seasons

I had a lot of fun creating this card, using some techniques I hadn’t used before. I have had the Pearlized Enamel Effects and the Matallic Enamel Effects in my stash for a little while but had never pulled the out to use until now.

My “TIPS’

When using the Enamel effects and mixing with water etc, mix them on an old piece of plastic you can throw away. i used a block and could only clean with a piece of steel wool.
When do the splatters have some scrap paper underneath your work. I now have splatters on my glass mat and not sure I want to put steel wool onto it…..May just live with it like it is.
