Christmas Baubles – Live with Michele

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: Christmas, Uncategorized, Water Colour

Yesterdays ‘Live’ was fun….it’s always fun when you can play with ink and water….Don’t you think?

I have been watching the reels on my Instagram and there has been a few people who have been creating these stunning Christmas baubles using watercolour paint and watercolour paper. As the short reel below.

I have taken this idea and using Stampin’ Up!® Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper and the Inks to create my version of these baubles. I created my circle using a Stampin’ Up!® container and dipping it into watered down ink on a block. What other shapes do you have at home you could use…..How about ‘cookie cutters’…I hope you have fun creating some of these like I did.

With the added use of Joy of Noel Bundle and Country Wreath Dies, it just finished off my cards.

There is a YouTube Video below showing how I created my card.

Help Us Make a Difference

People are at the heart of what we do! Each year with our product giveback program, we look to support organisations in our communities that strive to make a positive difference for those in need. This year, we’re supporting AngliCare’s Toys n’ Tucker in Australia and Christmas Box in New Zealand.

Our featured product is the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (item 162377), which you can find in the September–December 2023 Mini Catalogue. For every paper sold, we will donate $4.25 AUD to a variety of charities throughout our global community.

Many of us have found ourselves in circumstances where we’ve needed some extra help and have been so grateful for the generosity of others. And we hope that you will join us in our efforts to give back!

Hey Chuck – Let’s Craft Together Blog hop

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: Birthday, Blends, Let's Craft Together, Uncategorized

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.

Our theme this month is a ‘Picture Inspiration’, – create a project using the below picture as your inspiration. It may be the colours, images or sketches. This challenge was given to us by Maheswari, I had a lot of fun creating this card, not only with the challenge but with ‘Hey Chuck’ Bundle.

I have chosen 3 elements from the ‘Picture Inspiration’

  • 3 Rectangle elements
  • Torn Edges
  • Elements from behind the last rectangle

Hey Chuck

This is my second card using the ‘Hey Chuck’ Bundle and I seem to be creating a theme with these cards. They are bright and lots of fun, in both creating them as well as enjoying the finished card.

3 Rectangle elements – My use of the above elements is very broad as my chooks would not stay in the confines of the rectangles.

Torn Edges – The Lemon Lime Twist card stock is from the White Center Specialty Paper and when torn the white core shows.

Elements from behind the last rectangle – The die cut sun, wind vane and ‘Rise & Shine’ sign and the elements from behind the last rectangle.

How to Make….

  • Cut all cardstock and score.
  • Card Mat – Tear approx 1cm off top and bottom of Lemon Lime Twist White Center Specialty Paper and adhere to the card base. Keep torn off pieces, one to be used on the card insert.
    • Tip- If you want the white core to be on the front of the Card Base, have right side up and tear towards yourself.
  • Die cut 3 rectangles with the Deckled Rectangles using the 2nd smallest die.
  • Die cut Sun and Wind Vanes
  • Stamp Chock and Fence images in Memento Tuxedo Black. You can see how I coloured fences and chocks from my YouTube Video -Live with Michele
  • Fences and Chooks coloured with Stampin’ Blends
    • Fences using Blends – Crumb Cake Combo & Bronze
    • Chooks
      1. Bodies- Daffodil Delight Combo, Wild Wheat
      2. Tails – Poppy Parade, Tranquil Tide
      3. Tails – Tranquil Tide, Granny Apple Green, Starry Sky
      4. Tails – Fresh Freesia Combo, Orchid Oasis Light, Blackberry Bliss Combo
  • Sentiment ‘Rise & Shine’
    • Stamp in Early Espresso Ink
    • Use Deckled Rectangles to cut sentiment – there is no die the right size for this, I used a larger die to cut 2 sides & then moved die to cut other 2 sides.
    • With blending brush and Crumb Cake Ink colour the sentiment.
  • Adhere the 3 rectangles to card front, leave room to slip sun behind last rectangle.
  • Using Multi Purpose Glue adhere the fences onto the rectangles.
  • Add dimensionals to the back of the chooks and add to card front.
  • Tuck sun behind the last rectangle.
  • Glue wind vane and sentiment to card front.
  • Card Insert
    • Glue one of the torn Lemon Lime Twist White Center Specialty Paper pieces to the bottom edge of the card insert.
    • Add fence and Wind Vane
    • Stamp ‘It’s your Birthday’ sentiment with Early Espresso Ink.
