Hey Chuck – Let’s Craft Together Blog hop

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.

    Anything Animals – Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

    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 for our July Challenge is ‘Anything Animals’, this theme was set by Maheswari

    Zoo Crew

    For this challenge I have decided to use the Zoo Crew Suite with a Fun Fold Card – Pillar Pop-Up Card. I made this card originally in 2022 – Stella Birthday

    How to make this card…

    You can find a YouTube Video showing how I made this card previously HERE

    I made a couple of changes, which are

    • No Designer Series Paper on the Frame, sponged around using blending brushes.
    • DSP added to stand on the back
    • When making this using Imperial Measurements your window size will be smaller. The Dancer and Band will be closer together
    • I sponged edges of layers using Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Ink (re Pic’s)
    • I sponged Stage lighting using Lemon Lolly Ink and two pieces of post-it note to create a ‘V’
    • Band – Beaver and Water Hog and adhered to the DSP, Frog is attached with 2 mini dimensionals

      Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

      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.

      It was my turn to choose the challenge……Black and White – this is hard one, they are such a contrast…total opposites. Because being complete opposites you can get a very hard looking card and you need to have some softness and texture…I hope I have done this with my card.

      Timeless Arrangements Bundle

      This is the first time I have played with this bundle and I think I am in ‘LOVE’….Timeless Arrangements Bundle

      And every time I think of the sentiment I used – ‘Thank you for being my Friend’…I start singing…, Who else loved the Golden Girls…LOL!

      The card layers are very simple, there are just 3 – Card Base- Basic Black, Card Front- Basic White and Card Insert – Basic White.

      This card was a case of playing….with scraps of Basic White, Basic Black and White Vellum…I stamped the all the images in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White (3-4 in each) and die cut. Using vellum, I die cut 3-4 each of the stand alone dies. I also cut one of the large dies( with the bar at the base) x 3 in Basic Black. Not all this was used but it gave me plenty to play with.

      How to make this card…

      • I embossed the card front with one of the embossing folders from the Basics Embossing Folders found in the Online Exclusives on my Online Store.
      • Using the Basic Black Marker splattered some ink across the card Front by flicking the brush nib from the marker lid
      • Black Bakers Twine – separate the twisted twine. place a small amount of Seal onto card front and layer one strand of the twine in large loops onto the seal
      • Adhering the the 2 black die cuts to the back of the sentiment, one at the top and the other at the bottom. The sentiment is then attached to the front of the card front with dimensionals.
      • This forms a base. I then attached the stamped flowers and leaves and vellum pieces coming from under the sentiment.
      • To finish the card front I added some splatters of Wink of Stella.
      • The card front then was adhered to the card base.

      Cutting Measurements

      PaperColourImperial/LetterMetric/A4
      Card Base Basic Black4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
      Card front Basic White4 x 5 ¼”10 x 14.4cm
      Card Insert Basic White4 x 5 ¼”10 x 14.4cm

      The card Insert was decorated with some of the left over die cuts and finished with a die cut banner over the top. ( I cut it down, so it wasn’t so long)

      Bright & Beautiful – May Fun Fold Challenge

      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.

      Thank you Kylie for this fun challenge, Double Z-Fold cards are a easy & fun. There are so many great variations to the Z- Fold Card…check out this Pinterest page on Z-Fold Cards using Stampin’ Up! Products.

      Bright & Beautiful Double Z- Fold Card

      I created my card using the Bright & Beautiful Suite from the NEW Annual 2023-24 Stampin’ Up!® Catalogue. If you love Birthdays, Balloons and stars this is a fun suite. Great for birthday cards, general celebrations or any special moments. The dies cut balloons, stars, tags and work well for shaker cards. The Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (DSP) is 6 x 6″, one side of the DSP has fun type images of stars, strips, waves, strips and confetti. The reverse side has ombre effects, variegate or shabby (as per my card), giving great texture effects for your cards.

      The DSP coordinates with Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist, Pretty Peacock, Azure Afternoon and Blueberry Bushel. For my card I used the Azure Afternoon DSP and die cut stars in Berry Burst, Basic White, Azure Afternoon and Parakeet Party.

      To add some extra texture to the stars I embossed them using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folder found on the Online Exclusives in my Online Store.

      The Bright & Beautiful Suite also includes Gold celebration Specialty Designer Series Paper – window sheets in 3 designs – spots, stars and confetti, streamer twirls. One side of the sheets are gold and the other side is in silver. I used the gold spots for the 2nd part of the Double Z-Fold, to create a see through element to my card. I was then able to attach the stars and tag to the window sheet so the stars and tag look like they are floating.

      NB: make sure you use your bone folder to crease in the folds and to adhere to the card base I used lots of glue dots that hind nicely behind the dots.

      On the back of the card I have added a panel to write your Birthday Greetings on.

      Thank you for stopping by and reading my Blog. I hope you have enjoyed my projects & that you’re inspired to get crafty!

      Regency Park # 004 Mystery Challenge – Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

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.

      This month Tracy has challenged us with a ‘Mystery Challenge’. It’s good every now and then to be taken out of your comfort zone to make something different from your style.

      Regency Park by Stampin’ Up!®

      I decided to use products from the Regency Park Suite Collection for my card. The DSP I wanted to be very neutral so the stamping became the focal point.

      How to make this card…

      Cutting Measurements

      PaperColourImperial/LetterMetric/A4
      Card Base Basic White8½ x 5 ½”, score @ 4¼”14.9 x 21cm, score @ 10.5cm

      DSP4¼ x 1¼”10.5 x 3cm
      • Card Base –
        • Stamp the front of card base with the leaf cluster stamp from the Petal Park Stamp Set. This stamp has two sets of leaves that come in towards the center. I took care and only inked up half of the stamp (to the center) and stamped around the card base front using Granny Apple Green Ink Pad.
        • I used the dot-age stamp to fill in some of the holes around the leaves.
        • Using a Blending Brush and working in a circular motion lightly add Granny Apple Green Ink around the edges of the card base.
      • Piece 1
        • Stamp the out line flower cluster from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set in Balmy Blue all over the Basic White cardstock.
        • Using Blamy Blue ink and stamping off to get a lighter tone use the fill in Stamp for the flowers
      • Piece 2
        • Stamp sentiment in Night of navy Ink
      • Piece 3 & 4
        • Balmy Blue Strip and Mango Melody Strip run through Basic 3D Embossing Folders – I used the ‘Hash’ folder, this is a similar design to the DSP I used.
      • Putting the card together
        • Adhere the DSP to underneath side of the Piece 1, on the left
        • Glue these two pieces (P 1 & DSP) to the card base.
        • Using multi-purpose glue adhere Pieces 3 & 4 across the width of the card towards the bottom of the already attached pieces (see my card for position)
        • Add dimensionals to Piece 2 and adhere to your card over the strips (3 &4)
        • Tie a large bow with white bakers twine, add a glue dot and position the bow under the bottom left corner of the sentiment.

      Regency Park #003 Sketch Challenge – Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

      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 challenge this month is a Sketch Challenge by Maheswari. I love the layers of two frames that are slightly twisted, with decorative elements on diagonal corners.

      Regency Park

      For my card I have used the Regency Park Suite by Stampin’ Up!® and to create my card I used manly the Petal Park Bundle. This is such a simple bundle to use, you can colour the flowers by hand with any medium you wish or use the stamps to colour the flowers. The suite includes a simple simple punch to make cut out the flowers and one leaf quick and easy.

      The suite consists of two Bundles

      • Petal Park Bundle 160577 Flowers & leaf stamps plus the Punch
      • Sentimental Park Bundle 160567 – Sentiments, more flowers & leaves and Dies

      It then has other items in the suite including

      • Textured 12 x12 Shimmer Paper
      • Can Weave 3D Embossing Folder
      • Night of Navy Boardered Ribbon
      • Adhesive Backed Milky Dots
      • Regency Park 6 x 6 DSP

      I created the two rectangle frames cut from the Rectangle Stitched Frames and Basic White Cardstock.

      The Flowers are coloured with Watercolour Pencils onto Basic White Cardstock. Instead of Blending the pencils water or Blender Pens I have used Memento Ink and Blends Colour Lifter. Patty Bennett did a very good video on this technique – Blending Watercolor Pencils with Color Lifter

      How to make this card…

      • Card Front – Embossed, I used for this one of the Basic 3D Folders 161598 from the Online Exclusive, you could of course use the 3D embossing folder that comes with the suite, but I wanted something a little more subtle.
      • Frames – Placing one die side of the other, die cut 2 frames.
      • Flowers Stamping – Stamp 3 sets of flowers and 8 leaves using Memento Tuxedo.
      • Flowers, coloured with pencils and blended with Blends Colour Lifter
        • Large flowers – Balmy Blue and Night of Navy
        • Medium Flowers – Flirty Flamingo, Mellon Mambo & Daffodil Delight
        • Small Flower – Gorgeous Grape & Mellon Mambo
        • Leaves – Old Olive & Granny Apple Green
      • Bakers twine split and added under flowers
      • Sentiment – Embossed in White Embossing Powder
      • Card Insert – Insert strip embossed with the 3D Embossing Folder

      Rain or Shine #002 -Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

      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 Rain or Shine Suite Collection. This is just a little taste of whats to come with our our first Stamp Camp happening on 4th March, which I hope you can join us...HERE are the details.

      This card I have used my Blends to colour the Rabbit in and also some Paper Piecing to give him a coloured jacket.

      I love a matted card front, it can give it a different feel or make what elements you use ‘POP!’. This card has a white on white card base and card mat. The DSP and Velum have been cut to size using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. The vellum making the fun little rabbit stand out.

      How to make this card…

      • Adhere the DSP Panel to the Card Mat.
      • Using a small amount of Seal adhere the Vellum to the DSP, it is placed more to the left of the card. Make sure the placement of the seal will be hidden under the Rabbit.
      • A length of ribbon was wrapped around the card and attached behind the card mat.
      • Adhere the matted card front to the card base.
      • The Rabbit was stamped onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and also onto a piece of DSP.
      • He was coloured using Blends – Gray Granite and Flirty Flamingo.
      • Paper Piecing – The jacket was cut from the DSP using a craft knife and Glass Plate (see my Video on Fussy Cutting made on this a few years back)
      • After cutting the Rabbit using the coordinating dies adhere the jacket onto the Rabbit
      • With dimensionals attach the rabbit to your card front.
      • Tie a separate bow and adhered with a glue dot to the left of the Rabbit
      • Sentiment was stamped into a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut using one of the smaller Layering Circle Dies. Using one of the small blending brush blend on Balmy Blue ink around the edges. Adhere to card front with multi-pupose glue.
      • On the Card Insert I have also added a DSP strip and a length of Ribbon but instead of a bow I just tied a half knot, so as the card is not too bumpy inside.
      • Adhere the insert into the inside of the card.
