Enduring Beauty

On my Tuesday night ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using Stampin’ Up!® Enduring Beauty Stamp. This stamp is part of a Enduring Beauty Bundle, the bundle includes stamps, dies and masks.

Measurements Used…

 ColourImperial/LetterMetric/A4
Card BaseBasic White4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card MatLost Lagoon4 x 5¼”10 x 14.4cm
Card Front BaseBasic White3 ⅞ x 5 ⅛”9.7 x 14.1cm
Card Insert MatLost Lagoon4 x 5¼”10 x 14.4cm

SentimentBerry Burst½ x 4¼”1.3 x 10.5cm
Sentiment MatLost Lagoon⅝ x 4¼”1.6 x 10.5cm

This is a simple card to create, masking an area off area approx 6 x 8cm (2¼ x 3½”) using masking paper or ‘Post it Note Paper’. You want the masked area to be smaller than the stamp image, so that it has some ‘black and white’ image. Make sure the outer edge of the card front is covered so ink doesn’t colour the areas you want clean.

Using a Blending Brush, start with Fresh Freesia Ink and brush in a circular motion down 2/3rds of card front. From top down add Berry Burst to the top third of the card. Blending the Berry Burst into the Fresh Freesia. This also hid where I added too much ink in the Fresh Freesia (see Video).

Working from bottom up add Lost Lagoon blending it into the Fresh Freesia. Remove the masking paper.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the Enduring Beauty image over the top.

Flight & Airy Fun Fold

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Designer Series Paper Challenge’ by Kayla Renee and I am using the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®. I love this DSP , it has this lovely mix of bright/modern and a traditional softness. At the moment it seems to be my go to paper.

Unfortunately it’s not a paper you can purchase, but you can earn it for FREE when you spend $90 or more. The Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper is one of the many products in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue

Instagram Story by Srusht Patil showing Tutorial of Pop Card .

I saw this card on Instagram a couple of weeks ago and decided to give it a try. The card made by Srusht is a large card format so I have reduced the measurements to fit with a standard card. I have made a few changes in using less DSP to suite what I was wanting to create.

Jungle Pals

I had so much fun yesterday on ‘Live with Michele’ creating this fun card. I used 3 NEW products from the Stampin’ Up! ® Sale-A-Bration Jan- Feb 2024 Catalogue – Jungle Pals Stamp Set, Heartfelt Hellos Stamp Set and Jungle Pals Dies.

These products are FREE when you purchase from any of our catalogues or from the Online Exclusives.

I coloured the Toucan using Stampin’ Blends. Did you know Toucan’s come in all different colours? I researched them on Google and in the end looked up cartoon images for the Toucan. He was fun to colour!

The colours I used were…

  • poppy Parade
  • Parakeet Party
  • Azure Afternoon
  • Daffodil Delight
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Basic Black

The back ground for this card was coloured using Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Azure Afternoon and Blueberry Bushel inks with a Blending Brush.

I wanted this card to look lush and bright, with lots of layers of different greens creating depth and flowers in bright colours.

After the Live had wrapped up I decided to add the Black Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems, as I felt it just need something to finish the flowers…to add a little bit of ‘POP!’

Stippled Roses

Today’s card I have used the Stippled Roses Bundle from the Stampin’ Up! ® Jan – April Mini Catalogue. This is a beautiful detailed stamp with coordinating Dies that not only cut the images out but extra elements as well.

The Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper used in this card can be found in the Jan – Feb Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. When you purchase the Stippled Roses Bundle for $94.50 (AUD) you can get the Softly Stippled DSP for FREE!

I chose to keep this card all the same in colour to also play on the same tone Designer Series Paper, but you could very easily add colour to the Roses and Leaves to change the look completely.

By adding the Vellum die cut leaves under the Pebble Path die cut leaves it softens the look, making it look just that little bit lighter and lacy.

Bee Mine

Today I am taking part in ‘Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop’ for the first time. Joining in with some amazingly talented Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. You will find the Links to the others participating below…..I hope you enjoy!

For my page I decided to use the Bee Mine Suite from the Jan – April 2024 Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalogue.

The inspiration for this layout I found on Page Maps, but I did change it up a bit to make it mine.

How I created my page…

I found 4 photo’s of Joe taken at though out the years we have been together…From 1993 to now, he hasn’t changed much!

For this layout I have used layers of the Bee Mine 12 x 12″ Designer Series Paper, tearing the bottom too layers for some texture. The title I used the Alphabet A La Mode, cut from Basic Black and adhered to a Deckled Circle cut from Designer Series Paper using the Deckled Circle Dies.

The journaling box was die cut using the Nested Essential Dies and tucked under the matted photos. Behind the journaling I also added two die cut tags also cut from the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper using the Tailor Made Tag Dies.

I then added some Bee’s fussy cut from the paper.

I’m really please with the way this layout came together, as it was a last minute decision to participate.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my Blog. I hope you have enjoyed my projects & that you’re inspired to get crafty!

Flighty & Airy Mini Album

This week on Live with Michele, I created this fun Mini Album using Basic White Cardstock and the Flight & Airy DSP from the Stampin’ Up! ® Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. Spend $90 from either the Annual or Mini Catalogue and you can get the Flight & Airy DSP for FREE!

This little album is great for a gift or as a Brag Book for a first time Grand Parent.

Measurements Used…

This album will hold 5 cropped photo’s or if you want to add more I would suggest adding a spacer (thin Chipboard – only use thin or two layers of Cardstock) in between the pages, to allow for decoration and photos on opposite pages.

Tips & Tricks

  • An album like this you can use lots of srapes and left over bits from other Projects
  • Ink around the pages for a shaddy or aged effect
  • Use retired Ribbons for the spine
  • Spacer – cut 2cm x 10cm
  • Not shown on Video
    • add Cardstock and DSP to back cover, measurements given above.
    • Add sentiments to match with photos
    • Add journaling giving a Who, When and Where to the photo used. I would suggest printing it onto cardstock and adhering to opposite page.

Enduring Beauty & Thoughtful Moments

When I first saw the NEW Stampin’ Up!® Mini Jan – April 2024 Catalogue I got very excited about some of the wonderful new products. One of these products is the Enduring Beauty Bundle and another was Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder .

Below I have linked the Youtube video showing how I have used these wonderful products.

The Enduring Beauty Bundle is made up of outline stamp of the floral image, 5 masks for the layers of colour and dies for the image, leaves and sentiment.

Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder gives you 9 wonderful sentiments for a variety of cards and there is no ‘Fussy Cutting’

Artistically Inked

For this month’s Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop, Nancy has set a wonderful ‘Picture Inspiration Challenge’ as the theme. Drawing inspiration from the colors in the provided picture, I created this card card using the stunning Artistic Dies and Artistically Inked Stamps by Stampin’ Up! ®.

This card is simple to create by using the Artistic Dies as the focal point and then colouring the different flowers & leaves in what ever colours you want.

When blending the colours from flower to flower or flower to leaf, don’t worry about when one starts or finishes. Just let the colours blend together.

The ‘Happy Birthday’ Sentiment is from the Artistically Inked Stamps.

      • Peel off adhesive backing and attach to the card front.
    • Adhere the vellum to the card base.

    • Adhere the insert inside and your card is complete
