Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Published on November 4, 2024November 3, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

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 for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Colour Challenge’ by Monique and I am using the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle and Peaceful Season Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®.

Winterly Tree Tops & Peaceful Seasons

I had a lot of fun creating this card, using some techniques I hadn’t used before. I have had the Pearlized Enamel Effects and the Matallic Enamel Effects in my stash for a little while but had never pulled the out to use until now.

My “TIPS’

When using the Enamel effects and mixing with water etc, mix them on an old piece of plastic you can throw away. i used a block and could only clean with a piece of steel wool.
When do the splatters have some scrap paper underneath your work. I now have splatters on my glass mat and not sure I want to put steel wool onto it…..May just live with it like it is.

How to make this card…

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Published on October 4, 2024October 3, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Sketch Challenge’ by Maheswari and I am using the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs, Joyful Images & Joyful Sayings by Stampin’ Up!®.

Joyful Images & Joyful Sayings

I have created this simple and easy Christmas card using Maheswari’s sketch and the Mix and Match Ephemera packs from the Stampin’ Up!® Sept- Jan 2024 Mini Catalogue. I have used the A Little bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, which also comes with some of these same ephemera pieces.

Why didn’t I use the elements from the Specialty DSP?

The answer to that is…I’ve used them up. There is also more choice in the Mix & Match packs, they all work together and are great when creating on the go.

How to make this card…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Night of Navy	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Front	DSP	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Front Panel	Basic White	3½ x 3”	8.5 x 8cm
Card Insert	Basic White	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert Strip	DSP	⅝ x 5 ¼”	1.5 x 14.4cm
Leaves	Mossy Meadow	Scrapes cut 4 of each
Leaves	Gold Foil	Scrapes cut 4 of each

To give a bit more texture to the card, I embossed the Basic White panel using the Basic Embossing Folders.

I also used leaves left over from other projects to add extra fill in my clusters.

Mossy Meadow Leaves- Winter Tree Top Dies
Gold Foil Leaves- Sentimental Wishes Dies

This card was created purely from what I had lying around my desk.

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a Case the Mini Catalogue’ by Julia . Today the NEW 2024 September – December Mini Catalogue is ‘LIVE” for you to order products from…YAY!

Sentimental Christmas

I have decided to CASE a card from page 28 in the Mini, using the Sentimental Christmas Suite. This was a fun and simple card to CASE, with some simple stamping, use of White and gold Embossing Powder and you can’t forget the use of the Sentimental Wishes Designer Series Paper on the card front and a die cut image of the stocking.

How to make this card…

Card Base	Pretty Peacock	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Front	DSP	3½ x 4¼”	8 x 11cm
Card Front	Very Vanilla	3½ x 3¼”	8 x 9cm
Sentiment	Shaded Spruce	3½ x ⅞”	8 x 2.2cm
Branch & Bow	Shaded Spruce Poppy Parade	Scraps
Stocking	DSP	Cut x 2 (1 x front & 1 x Inside)
Card Insert	Very Vanilla	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Strip	DSP	¾ x 5 ¼”	2 x 14.4cm

Tips

Stamp Stocking
- Mask of bottom portion of Very Vanilla Cardstock so you are only stamping the top section of the stockings
Don’t forget to die cut the Branch and gold emboss the bow/die cut….I almost forgot!

A Little Bit Festive Tee-Pee Card

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

This is a really great fun fold to use at Christmas, as the Tee Pee or Pyramid Card has the look of a Christmas Tree.

The A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper will be available to order in September when the 2024 Mini Sept – Jan Mini Catalogue is released. This paper pack is made of of 3 double sided Designer Series Papers and 3 sheets of Die Cuts.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Basic White	4¼ x 4¼”, x 3	10.5 x 10.5cm, x 3
	DSP	4 x 4”, x 2	10.2 x 10.2cm, x 2
	DSP	1½ x 1½”, x 2	4 x 4, x 2
Approx. 7cm circle Die Cut	Basic White	3¼ x 3¼”	8 x 8cm

I made this card a few years ago – Christmas Gleaming Tee Pee Card.

Points to Remember

Check you DSP is going to look OK at an angel or what ever direction its in.
When making this card you need to make sure the embellishment don’t hang over too much at the sides so as it can fit into the envelope when folded in half.
Decorating – make sure you have the card front (one of 2 sides), triangle with the two points forming the baseline.
Measure up 2cm from where DSP meets in each direction. Cut a line across between the 2cm points.
Tuck point from other side into slit to hold card together. See image below

Chain Card Swap Blog Hop – Sharni

Published on April 15, 2024April 10, 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 3 O Holly Night

I created this card after receiving a card from Nancy.

O Holly Night was a beautiful Suite to use, it came with 2 packs of Designer Series Paper – O Holly Night and Shinning Brightly Specialty Paper.

The focal point of this card is the Nativity Scene. For this I used the Deckled Circle Dies and 2 layers of the O Holly Night Designer Series Paper, with the die cut Nativity scene die cut from Basic Black cardstock.

Were to Start…Start this hop at Sharni so you get the progression

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!

I am so pleased that Merriest Trees is staying with us, I had so much fun playing with it.

When casing this card I used the elements of the 2 squares and made it 2 tags, I also added an extra layer of Designer Series Paper underneath the top layer. I love the Tailor Made Tags and will be sad to see them go…(I might hand onto them a bit longer)
