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

Instagram Story by Srusht Patil showing Tutorial of Pop Card .

I saw this card on Instagram a couple of weeks ago and decided to give it a try. The card made by Srusht is a large card format so I have reduced the measurements to fit with a standard card. I have made a few changes in using less DSP to suite what I was wanting to create.

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

Hey Chuck – Let’s Craft Together Blog hop

Published on September 4, 2023September 23, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

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.

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Published on June 4, 2023May 31, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

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

Paper	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Basic Black	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card front	Basic White	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert	Basic White	4 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)
