 Gold Elegance with Brusho from Stampin’ Up!

So how was this created….

    • A piece of Watercolour paper 122959 cut at 9 x 13.2 cm was attached to a firm surface with low tack painters tape, 1.5 cm in top and bottom & 2 cm in each side. Leaving a 5 x 10 cm section.
    • Spray the area with water and sprinkle** Brusho 144101, Prussian Blue and Gamboge (Orange) over the top, you may need to add extra colour e.g. Gamboge, as the Prussian Blue is an intense colour and will take over.
    • Dry by either heat gun or let it air dry. Once dried gentle remove the painters tape. You may get some bleeding around your edges or corners.
    • The watercolour paper is then adhered to a piece of Dapper Denim cardstock 141419 cut at 9.3 x 13.5cm with Multi-Purpase glue 110755. Dimensionals 104430 where place onto the back ready to adhere to card front.
    • Dapper Denim cardstock Card base is cut at 14.5 x 21 cm and scored at 10.5 cm along the long edge. Fold along score line and burnish with bone folder.
    • Cut a piece of Gold Foil cardstock 132622 at 10 x 14 cm. Adhere to card front with multi purpose glue.
    • Remove backing off the dimensionals and attach front panel to the Gold Foil cardstock.
    • From a piece of Gold Foil cardstock cut the branch from Petals and More Thinlits Dies 145655. Adhere to card with either multi purpose glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen 138309
    • Inside of card attack a piece of Whisper White cardstck cut at 10cm x 14 cm.

Birthday Eclipse from Stampin’ Up!

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: Birthday, Occasions Catalogue

Brusho is addictive!

Have you had a play with them as yet?

They can be found in Stampin’ Up!  2018 Occasions Catalogue on page 26 and if you can only purchase one product from this catalogue , then this should be it.

Brusho 144101

Oh! Also check out the great stamp sets on that page, it’s also a must.

Look….. just buy it all, you’ll get free product too! And that’s always good, RIGHT!

FREE PRODUCT!

Yep! You heard right spend $90 (AU) and you can choose a product from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue.

Not sure how them ask me…and I will help you..SPEND

Opps! I meant to say, I’ll help you place your order……

OK…lets get back to today’s fun card…

SEE!…..I told you it was a fun card.

Besides the colouring technique with Brusho, I also did the Eclipse technique..that is where you cut letters from the design and layer them to sit higher.

Instead of use single letters, I used the Happy Birthday Thinlets 143700. It was like putting together a “JIGSAW”, good thing I like doing jigsaws.

So if you like a bit of a challenge then give this card a go!

Here’s a couple of hints..

  • With the Brush dry each colour before adding the next.
  • Be careful not to loose those tiny little bits you need to glue in..I only lost one and it was the smallest
  • After cutting out Happy Birthday from card front, adhere the card front to matting layer. Place the Happy Birthday back on top and glue in all the little pieces. Making sure to lift the words so they don’t stick down.
  • Cut out 2 extra “Happy Birthday’s” and adhere on top of each other. Then attach the top colourful Happy Birthday on top.

If you have any questions then please contact me.

Brusho meets Petal Palette from Stampin’ Up!

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: Birthday, Occasions Catalogue

From this years Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalogue, I have two favorite products…

Brusho and Petal Passion Suite by Stampin’ Up!.

I love the free form effects you can achieve with Brusho by adding water to the areas you want colour and then add the Brusho and let dry. With this technique you do need to things slowly and let each colour dry before doing the next colour.

So how did I use the Brusho..

  • With a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, clear embossed the image all over
  • Using Aqua painter add water to one bunch of flowers at a time, making sure not to get water on the leaves. Sprinkle Brusho on to the wet area, you may need to add extra water to areas missed or dried to get colour moving. Do this to all flowers.
  • When the flowers are dried brush off any excess Brusho with dry brush. Then repeat process but with the leaves – adding water and Brusho, let dry.
Card …

Card base is Night of Navy, with a layer of Old Olive and the Shimmery White adhered on top.

The Happy Birthday Sentiment comes from the Rose Wonder stamp set and stamped in Night of Navy. This was stamped onto a piece of Shimmery White cardstock and one end flagged.

A twist of Gold thread under the tag held in place with two dimensionals.

Global Design Project #120 – CASE the Designer

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: Uncategorized

Global Design Project #120 – CASE the Designer

This is the first Global Design Project Challenge for 2018 and this week we are Casing one of the Design Team Members- Krista Frattin.

What does it mean to CASE….

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

To see what the other design team have done for this challenge go to Global Design Project there are some very beautiful cards.

  For this card I have used products from Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalogue – Petal Passion Suite on page 22.

This is a simple card to make, it is just layering the different elements on top of one another and adding texture by using different types of cardstock e.g. Vellum, foil and watercolour papers.

How to……

  • The Watercolour Paper was coloured with the Brusho Crystal Colour – Prussian Blue and Red, stamped with the bird image and cut with the matching thinlits.
  • The frame was made by using two of the square Stitched framelits  – placing the smaller one inside the larger and running it through the Big Shot.
  • All the elements were layered on top of each other, finishing with the vellum banner threaded over and under the frame

  • The inside of the card was finished with a sheet of Whisper White cardstock and stamped with a leaf image in Basic Black (stamped off to lighten ) and Old Olive Ink.

 

Thanks for stopping by today…if you have any questions about this card or any of the products used please contact me.

Brusho Butterflies -Beautiful Day from Stampin’ Up!

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: Uncategorized

Brusho Butterflies

Brusho 144101 is a fantastic product that Stampin’ Up have added to their 2018 Occasions Catalogue and are great to get a simple but vibrant water wash.

Between Christmas and new year I visited my parents in Mudgee and spent some time with my sister in her art studio on her farm and what an amazing time we had.

Playing with Brusho and coming up with different effects.

Here are a few photo’s, as you can see we had fun!

When I got home to Moss Vale I couldn’t wait to make some cards out of what I created.

So here is the first one “Brusho Butterflies”

What is Brusho®?

Brusho is watercolour Ink Crystals – mixed with water to make watercolour washes and designs. Sprinkle directly on water wash paper and watch the colour burst.

How to use..

There are many ways to use Brusho, the few I have tried so far are-

  • Mix with water on a palette
  • Add water to watercolour paper and sprinkle on top
  • Sprinkle on paper first and then add water via spray bottle

Tips

Don’t remove lid..as the powder may become airborne and you will have colour everywhere.

Poke 1-3 holes into the lid and use like a salt shaker.

Make sure your work area is clear of anything you don’t want colour on.

 

Here is a quick video showing how I made the front of this card.

Christmas Packaging with Stampin Up!

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: Christmas, Gifts, Off the Page

Christmas what a beautiful time of the year…

I love Christmas…don’t you?

In the last class for the year I decided we would make great little Christmas gift boxes for those small but still important gifts.

We made 3 projects…no cards, but 3 easy to make “Gift Boxes” using Stampin’ Up! Tags and Trimmings Bundle 146062 and the Gift Bag Punch board 135862

 

The boxes where then decorated using the stamps and Thinlits from the Tags and Trimmings Bundle and Designer Series Papers from Merry Little Christmas DSP 144621 & Merry Music Specialty DSP 144623.

How to Make….

Christmas Stocking

Stocking and pillow box back was cut from Cherry Cobbler card stock, a 1/8 hole was punched in the back of Pillow box to attach a folded and knotted length of Quilted Christmas Ribbon 144620 to be used as a hanger.It is a lot easier putting the ribbon in now than after stocking is completed.

Fold and burnish the side tabs on back panel, also the bottom tab and gently shape the top of stocking. Add Tear and tape to side tabs on back panel as well as bottom tab.

Remove Tear and Tape backing, carefully match the corners at top and adhere down, doing one side at a time.

Burnish, fold over and adhere other side (Sorry forgot the ribbon in these pictures)

Remove backing of tab and gentle fold into box and burnish with bone folder to inside of stocking.

To decorate we using the Snow flake paper from the Merry Little Christmas DSP for the cuff, heal and toe of stocking attached with Multi Purpose Glue. I also adhered the gold pom pom trim to back of cuff before attaching to stocking front.

Bell and Pom Pom Trim was cut from Gold Foil Paper. Two leaves and the large button was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock and cut using the Thinlits. These then where layered using glue dots …large leaf coming from behind the bell with the smaller leaf on opposite side and at the front. Large button on top with a small bow in Red/white Twisted bakers Twine (Discontinued)

Pillow Box

Cut two back panels from Crumb Cake cardstock and remove the log tab from each panel and side tabs only from one panel.

Fold in the scoring lines and Tear and Tape and this time when you join the panels together you need to top and tail them

You can see here the notched one is at the top the other at the bottom. Join other side and gently fold in the tops and bottoms of box.

With the pillow box to decorate I cut a strip of Merry Music Specialty DSP 6 x 15cm. Tear along both edges removing approx .5cm from each side. This is then wrapped around the box and adhered with snail. Wrap the Jute Twine 144625 around the box twice and tie off in a knot. Using the tag from the stamp set I added two leaves and a small button and tied onto the Twine with Red/white bakers twine.

Gift Bag

With a 15 cm x 30cm piece of DSP from the Merry Little Christmas DSP 144621 Score down one long side 2.5cm and fold this is the top of the bag.

Follow the instructions on the Gift Bag Punch board 135862 to make the large gift bag. Fold and adhere bag together.

The Gift Box, I wanted to be more of a Santa Sack so instead of making handles I just threaded the Jute Twine 144625 through the holes and knotted at the front, the bow and tags where then attached at the knot.

The Whisper White tag is only approx 3 cm in width, because the bag is so small it didn’t need a wide tag. I just folded a bow shape and added the Gold sequence at the back and wrapped White bakers twine around the center where the knot would be. I used a glue dot to hold in place on the tag and then using the tails to tie to the jute knot on the bag.Finish off by adding another two leaves and button with the Glue dots.

Hope you have enjoyed my projects we did last night, it was a great way to finish off the year.

Here we all are WISHING each other a MERRY CHRISTMAS

This was at the start of the evening….before the fun began!
