Happy Birthday – The Spot Colour Challenge # 119

Published on July 16, 2020July 15, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Uncategorized

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Who loves a Challenge?……I do!

While checking my Facebook posts I came across this challenge by…

The Spot

So I just had to give it a try, as I love those colours – Magenta Madness, Basic Black, Gold and Pool Party.

Now if you enjoy a challenge here is the link so you can participate as well..‘The Spot’

Happy Birthday

I’m have been doing a bit of #Loveitchopit lately….using up some of my collections of Designer Series Paper. The challenge said I could use Whisper White but “Sparingly”…hope I haven’t used too much. But I love the Gold Flowers on Whisper White base…it’s so clean and fresh. What do you think?

This Designer Series Paper comes from Stampin’ Up! ® Ornate Gardens Suite Collection 154153 and is called Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper 152488. The Magenta Madness cardstock I embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder 152725, a beautiful little floral. I also embossed the Pool Party Cardstock using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder151775.

The ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set 151534 and was stamped using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today…I’m not usually into geometric shapes, but by adding some floral…I’m happy….Hubby loves it….LOL!

Prized Garden

My cards today uses the Stampin’ Up! ® Prized Garden Suite Collection, the ‘WOW’ of this card is the amazing 3D blossom.

I have added an extra layer in my Peony by adding a layer of vellum to each petal. Each layer was sponged lightly with Blushing Bride Stampin’ Pad and shaped with a bone folder. Each petal has that extra shimmer with a touch of Wink of Stella. The ribbon loops were made by cutting 10cm of ribbon, folding them in half and joining with a Mini Glue Dot.

To assemble the Peony

Cut all 5 layers of the Peony – I have numbered each one 1through to 4, not including the stamen.
Starting with the smallest petal, slip petal 1 into the slit of petal 2 – lining up the bottom edges. Add a small amount of glue at the base of each petal.
Slip petals 1&2 into petal 3 – lining up the bottom edges.
Slip petal 1, 2 & 3 into 4
Once the flower has been assembled slip the stamen into place in the 1st petal.

For every $90 AUD you spend in July will earn you a Coupon for $9 to spend in August…The Peony Garden Suite Collection is $170.50 AUD add another $10 to that and you will get 2 x $9 coupons…..

A Sweet Friendship – Forever Greenery Suite

Published on July 12, 2020July 11, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Uncategorized

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

A Sweet Friendship

I love this card, it is so simple, sweet and clean.

There is something about a white card and with that strip of green leaves on the white background makes it refreshing.

This is a simple card to make and with just a sentiment to stamp. The only colour comes from a strip of Designer Series Paper which is 3.5cm wide, a great way to use up any left overs.

A Gold Hoop Embellishment layered with a Vellum leaf cut using the Forever Flourishing Dies and a Gold leaf from the Forever Gold Laser -cut Specialty Paper.

The whisper White mat has been embossed using the Sutbles 3D Embossing Folder.

The sentiment comes from the Butterfly Wishes Cling Stamps, a sentiment for any occasion.

You will find a Tutorial on my Tutorial Page for this card

Sunflower Shaker Card

Published on July 11, 2020July 9, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Blends, Uncategorized

Beautiful bright Sunflowers…I don’t know what it is about Sunflowers but they always seem to bring joy to peoples faces.

Helen Keller said….

My card to day uses the Sunflowers from the Jar of Flowers Bundle. The flowers were stamped in Memento Ink and coloured using Blends. .The stems of the flowers were stamped in Memento Ink and were also stamped off just to mute the colour so the looked like they were in water. The Mason jar was stamped in Pool Party Ink and then using the reverse side (because they are a reversible stamp) I also used Pool Party Ink but stamped off to give a lighter shade

In the Mason Jar Dome I added some of the Flower for Every Season Gems.

Sending Healing Hugs – Forever Greenery

Published on July 10, 2020July 8, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Uncategorized

My love affair with the Forever Greenery Suite continues…

The Scrappy Strip Technique is a great way to great fantastic backgrounds with lots of interest. Here I have created a back ground using this technique with the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.

I kept the strips narrow, approx 12mm, that way I could use nearly all the designs. The strips were adhered to Whisper White Cardstock and also matted onto Whisper White Cardstock.

By placing a layer of vellum on top of the Scrappy Strips it softened the intensity of the colour and allowed the bouquet of fern leaves to stand out. Using the Forever Flourishing Dies leaves were cut from Just Jade, Pretty Peacock and vellum cardstock, also included gold leaves from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper

July International Blog Highlights – Thank You

Published on July 7, 2020July 6, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa Category: Blends, Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlights.

Hi and welcome to my Blog.

My card today use’s the Stampin’ Up! ® Prized Peony stamps from the Peony Garden Suite Collection. This is the first time I have had to play with this beautiful suite.

Prized Peony

The large Peony flower was stamped onto Whisper White Cardstock along with the sentiment using the Memento Black stamp pad. With the Stitched Rectangle Dies I die cut a section of the flower including the sentiment and then coloured the cut section with Blends – Flirty Flamingo, Rococo Rose, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and Mango Melody.

I then ran the card front through the Subtle 3D Embossing folder together. This card has been layered with the center rectangle sitting above the rest of the card.

For inside of the card I stamped a smaller Peony also in black on the insert and then matted it onto Flirty Flamingo Cardstock.

I have added my card to Kylie Bertucci’s International Stampin’ Up!® Blog Highlights for July Theme- Thank you.
