In Friday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created these two cards using the Layers of Beauty Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®. This Bundle includes stamps, dies and masks, which can be coloured in using different methods. Here I am showing two methods and creating 2 different cards.
The first card is using the same layout from last Fridays live card with one small change…the DSP is only 5cm wide instead of 6cm. This was only because I was trying to get more from the 6 x 6″ DSP.
This layout is CASED from Patty Bennett.
Measurements Used…

Stamp image with Early Espresso Stampin’ Pad.
Flowers Only
Use a Blender Pen to go over the stamped Rose images spreading the ink to add a shaded effect. Smaller daisy flowers are coloured in by spreading the ink from the stamped images.
Trim away leaf images as per the video.

I have just received Frosted Forest Bundle in my Stampin’ Up! ® delivery, so I thought today would be a good time to pull it out and use it. This bundle includes Frosted Forest Stamp Set, Frosted Forest Dies and Frosted Forest Decorative Masks.
The Frosted Forest Bundle is part of the Online Exclusives and wont be found in the Catalogue.
Have you ever read the information that comes with the masks…I hadn’t until today. It has all these different ideas on how you could colour your Masks..
Spritz using ink, chalk or glimmer sprays
Sponge using ink or paint – Trace using markers
Emboss with VersaMark ink and embossing powders
Add Texture using embossing paste
Anyway that got me thinking…How about we create a card using one of these methods. So with a ‘Spritzer tool’ I decided to create this fun card.

Here I have created Cards & Gift Box/Filo using the Stampin’ Up!® Layers of Beauty Bundle over 2 videos, I hope you enjoy!
Layers of Beauty bundle by Stampin’ Up!® is at the moment my all time favorite product.
Why?
It’s a traditional floral image, easy to colour with the use of the masks that come with the bundle and can also be die cut with the coordinating dies. You can change up the look to be either modern, shabby chic or just traditional or old world. It’s all up to you and how you use colour.
Layers of Beauty Cards Part 1
I created these cards the same as you might do a ‘One Page Wonder’- where you create your own Designer Series Paper and cut it up to create card fronts.
Starting with a sheet of Basic Beige A4 cardstock I ruled in faint lines through the center of both the length and width of the cardstock. This was to give an idea of where I needed to stamp the images, so that I would be left with part images either side. I didn’t stamp exactly the same both sides as I wanted some of my cards to have a different look or orientation.
The YouTube video is below showing how I created the cards.
Cutting Measurements per card (except for Card Front use full sheet of card stock)
YouTube video below shows how I completed my cards and created the box.
Working out the Box/Filo Measurements
To create your box you need some basic measurements to create your formula. I am using metric measurements for Australian C6 envelopes. Your measurements may differ depending on how many cards you want in your box and the envelope size.
Because of the size I needed to created the box I have used 12 x12″ scrapbook Cardstock
Finished Box Size – Worked on Envelope C6 (11.3 x 16cm) plus extra for width and length = 12 x 17cm
Spine– Depth of Cards and envelopes =2cm
Unlike a box with a lid this is more of a Filo with a side opening. The right side has a full spin with between front and back. The left side has 2 spines attached to either side of opening at half width of full spine.
Flap Depth inside box = 6cm
Formula
Width= front width + Spine + Back Width (12 + 2 +12 = 26cm)

Tips
Pocket Thoughts Die – middle size
The Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped once in full strength ink and then stamped of in second Generation stamping.
The stamps in the set are two step stamps – one stamp, stamps the image and the 2nd stamp colours the image. Here the icing on the cup cake stamp was stamped off to get a lighter shade or 2nd Generation stamping.
The cup cake base I coloured using Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends – Light and dark.
I used a 10-12cm (4-4 1/2″) length of ribbon in Petunia Pop and Summer Splash. Gently unravel the ribbon so your left with the weft threads. Place the two colours together and tie together. Trim the ends to neaten off.
I doubled the Dimensionals for height behind the cup cake to cover the knot of the ribbon.
The photo’s below i have added an extra Gold Foil leaf. The die leaf is from the Thoughtful Wishes Dies.

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Theme – Card or Scrapbook page for the Men’, and for this challenge I am using the Tune In Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®.
I have tried to give this card a ‘Retro Feel’, using the Tune In Bundle, which is all about the Retro Television.
I created a fun background for my card with the Nest Essential Dies, change the colours used and it could be for anyone. Rectangles were cut from Basic Gray cardstock and adhered in a stacked pattern to a Basic Black Base.
Smaller Basic White frames overlapping create that retro look. These were made by using 2 smaller rectangles nested one inside the other and run through the Mini Cut and Emboss Machine.
The Glossy Television reminds me of the small white shinny TV my parents had back in the 60’s. To created this effect I filled in the outer section of the stamped image with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen. Let it dry for an hour or two before die cutting it out.
The television antenna was die cut from Silver Foil, which I had adhered Adhesive Sheet to the back before cutting.
The card insert I used off cuts from the Basic Gray rectangles and adhered onto a Real Red strip.
I just love all the ‘POPS’ of red!

I am really enjoying getting back into scrapbooking, as this is where my real passion lies.
Last year I celebrated my 60th Birthday and I received 2 beautiful big bunches of flowers from my parents and from my sister, Lynette in the UK. I took lots of photos but here are the 2 I decided to work with.
The flowers used are from the Simply Zinnia Bundle and were coloured using Stampin Up!® Blends – Bubble Bath & Petunia Pop, Pretty Pink & Calypso Coral. I thought they worked well with the flowers in my photots.
Template Tuesday
For this layout I used a template found of Pinterest. This is a great way to get started in scrapbooking. Using your photos as a guide you can pull out the papers that works with your layout. Templates are a great starting point and you can easily make it your own by either turning the layout around or changing photo sizes, adding your own elements etc.

I’m trying to catch up a bit with my Blogging…..last week on my Tuesday Live, now called Template Tuesday. I created this card using the Ful of Life Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®. I LOVE all the beautiful bright colours.
Template
I have kept the template very simple as I wanted the paper to shine on this card.
I used Vellum as my white layer, unfortunately Stampin’ Up!® don’t have vellum anymore. But I felt the thin layers of the dies just got a little lost in the colourful background.
