Chain Card Swap Blog Hop – Tracy

Published on April 17, 2024April 13, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

Back in October 2023 I joined a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators to take part in a ‘Card swap with a Twist – Chain card Swap.

How does this work?

The swap is similar to an old fashioned chain letter or I would say…”Chinese Whispers with Cards’

We were given a list of names – 11 in total (not including myself)
Create a simple card
Send to first person on the list
Wait to receive a card from someone…
‘CASE’ that card and send it to the 2nd person on your list
Repeat until all people on the list has received a card

Now this is the fun part….When you CASE the card you received, it’s your interpretation of the received card. Just like ‘Chinese Whispers’ you may not end up with what you originally designed

Round 11 Stippled Roses

This fun fold card is a Twisted Fun Fold…which I had never done this fold until now.

For this card I used the Stippled Roses Bundle and the Stippled Roses Designer Series Paper which was available in the last Sale-A-Bration. The Stippled Roses Stamps Bundle is in the current Jan- April Mini Catalogue and will still be available in the up coming catalogue but not as a bundle. So get it now to get the 10% discount on bundles

Stippled Roses is a very traditional rose design and the leaf dies are stunning with the embossed details within the die. Other dies in this bundle are fine and delicate which I love using with other stamp and die sets.

The other sentiments in the stamps are a stunning ‘Script Fonts’ with a beautiful old world charm, they can be used for Mothers Day, Congratulations and Thank you.

Follow the Hop around and see how these creations changed from start to finish…you might be surprised to see how these cards finished up!

Round 7 Waves of Inspiration

The CASING of this card came down to what did I have…..and I had the Waves of Inspiration Stamps and coordinating Waves Dies.

The waves I cut from Basic White and Misty Moonlight cardstock, then layered to create the crashing waves. The clouds I die cut in Basic White and using the small blending brush added Azure Afternoon or was it Blueberry Bushell (I can’t remember) lightly around the edges. The cloud dies leaves embossed lines or Cloud Fluffly Lines on the die cut, I just highlighted these lines with the Smoky Slate Blends.

The pelican was stamped in Smoky Slate and colour with Blends Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake, Natural Tones Blends ( Light, Medium Deep and Deep).

For the sentiment tag I stamped the Posts 3-4 times as close together as I could and then coloured using the same colours used before – Crumb Cake, Natural Tones Blends ( Light, Medium Deep and Deep). Then die cut with the coordinating die.

Flowering Zinnias

Published on April 4, 2024April 2, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Water colour Challenge’ by Julia and I am using the Simply Zinnias Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®. The Simply Zinnias Bundle is part of Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection in the Online Exclusives.

Zinnias are beautiful and vibrant flowers, so I have tried to replicate with in my water colour flowers.

How to….

Flowers & Leaves
- Using the Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper, I cut 3 sheets in half and coloured each sheet in a different colour. The bottles of Reinkers are the best to use for this technique as you may require a few drops of colour to get the depth of colour you want. Work with one sheet and one colour at a time, wet the sheet of water colour paper generously with a spray bottle of water. With a water painter add ink to the wet surface and let the colour spread. Don’t worry if the colour isn’t even, you want it to have texture – light and dark areas. Tilt the paper so the ink flows all over the paper, add more colour if you want more depth. I used the same technique in another card earlier in the year – Paper Florist Dies.
- Once the water colour paper is dry die cut flowers and leaves.
- The colours I used are..
  - Sweet Sorbet
  - Daffodil Delight
  - Orchid Oasis
  - Granny Apple Green
  - Mossy Meadow
- The flower centers & stamen I cut from cardstock – Basic Black, Sweet Sorbet, Daffodil Delight and Orchid Oasis. The stamenn I also brushed with Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.
- Adhere all the flowers together and set aside.
Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder
- The Basic White card front I embossed with the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. This is a stunning embossing folder of zinnia flowers and leaves in a outline image. This just gives some texture behind the flowers and the impression of the flowerbed of Zinnias.
Sentiment
- The sentiment I used the Sweetly Scripted Stamp set and stamped the Happy Birthday in Memento Tuxedo Black.
Card Insert
- The card insert I stamped with the Zinnia flower stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black in the bottom right corner
- The insert was matted with Basic Black cardstock

Just Kiddin’

Published on April 3, 2024April 3, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

Last night I created this fun ‘Kids’ card using the Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper. The paper is part of the Just Kiddin’ Suite Collection found on page 49 of the January – April 2024 Stampin’ Up! ® Mini Catalogue, which finishes at the end of April.

The Kiddin’ Around Stamps and Kiddin’ Around Dies will be available in the new Annual Catalogue but not as Kiddin’ Around Bundle (with the 10% discount). If you are wanting the discount grab them now!

As I only had the Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper, I used the Artistically Inked Stamps for the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment. I love this stamp as it is simple and suits and age group, male or female card.

Template Tuesday

Today’s template is by Page Maps. I noticed that PageMaps have said they will no longer be doing Card Maps. Hopefully we can still access the PDF Archives for past Card Maps. PageMaps are a great resource for Scrapbook Page Maps also.

Chain Card Swap Blog Hop – Genna

Published on April 1, 2024April 1, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

Back in October 2023 I joined a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators to take part in a ‘Card swap with a Twist – Chain card Swap.

How does this work?

The swap is similar to an old fashioned chain letter or I would say…”Chinese Whispers with Cards’

We were given a list of names – 11 in total (not including myself)
Create a simple card
Send to first person on the list

Repeat until all people on the list has received a card

Now this is the fun part….When you CASE the card you received, it’s your interpretation of the received card. Just like ‘Chinese Whispers’ you may not end up with what you originally designed

Round 9 Simply Sparkling

This card was so much fun….I got to CASE a lovely friend of mine Kayla, I received her cards and got so excited for the layers and fun her card shared.So I hope mine also shares the same fun and excitement.

For this card I used the Simply Sparking Bundle and paired it up with the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. The Simply Sparking Bundle is one of the Online Exclusives, a great Bundle for the young or young of heart.

I stamped my image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, adding the swirl on the can with Berry Burst and the wording also with Memento Tuxedo Black. This was fun to colour using the Stampin’ Blends in Smoky Slate, Berry Burst and Bubble Bath.

Card Base – Lemon Lime Twist
Matte – Berry Burst
Card Front -Bright & Beautiful DSP
Basic White panel embossed with the Splatters Embossing Folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder Duo
2 thin strips of Bright & Beautiful DSP
Bubbles cut from Bright & Beautiful DSP
Sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Black on Basic White

I love all the layers and the Kayla’s folded corner.

Round 4 – Meandering Meadows

This card makes my heart sing….I love the way it turned out. I used Meandering Meadows Suite for this card, which you will find in the Online Exclusives.

For my card I changed the orientation of the card, from a landscape to a portrait. The back ground I stamped the small images with Fresh Freesia Ink onto Fresh Freesia cardstock.

A strip of Lemon Lolly cardstock adds a little extra colour next to the Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper.

A White Vellum circle was cut using the Deckled Circle Dies. The flower images were stamped using Basic Gray Ink and coloured with Blends…Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Shaded Spruce, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Blueberry Bushel, Misty Moonlight and Daffodil Delight.

The sentiment was stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink.

Jungle Pals

Published on January 20, 2024January 20, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

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

Published on January 17, 2024January 17, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

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.

Below is a link to my YouTube Video showing how I created this card.

Artistically Inked

Published on January 4, 2024December 28, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

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.

Card Measurements…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Bubble Bath	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Mat	Vellum	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Front	Bubble Bath	3 ⅞ x 5 ⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Floral Die Cut	Basic White	4½ x 4½”	11 x 11cm
Card Insert	Basic White	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Sentiment	Basic White	⅜ x 3 ⅞”	1 x 9.7cm

Card Base
- Fold in half
- Ink around edges with Bubble Bath Ink and Blending Brush.
Card Mat
- Using Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder, emboss the Vellum.
- TIP– Add a piece of cardstock under the vellum when running through with a 3D Embossing Folder. Vellum has no give in it and the added cardstock helps it to not cracking or rip.
Card Front
- Tear top and bottom edges
- Run card front through Large Cut and Emboss Machine using Basic 3D Embossing Folder
- Ink around edges with Bubble Bath Ink and Blending Brush.
Floral Die Cut
- Adhere the adhesive sheet to the back of Basic White Cardstock, run through with die using the large Cut and Emboss Machine.
- Colour flowers in using small Blending Brushes and Ink
- Peel off adhesive backing and attach to the card front.
Adhere the vellum to the card base.
Add dimensionals to the back of the card front and attach to the card.
Stamp the Sentiment, add dimensionals and attach to card front.
Adhere the insert inside and your card is complete
