Bright & Beautiful – May Fun Fold Challenge

Published on May 4, 2023May 3, 2023 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.

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

Published on April 4, 2023April 2, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

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

Paper	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Basic White	8½ x 5 ½”, score @ 4¼”	14.9 x 21cm, score @ 10.5cm
Piece 1	Basic White	3¾ x 3½”	9.5 x 7cm
Piece 2	Basic White	2 x 1½”	5 x 4cm
Piece 3	Balmy Blue	4¼ x ½”	10.5 x 1cm
Piece 4	Mango Melody	4¼ x ¼”	10.5 x 0.5cm
DSP		4¼ 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

Published on March 4, 2023February 26, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

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

Cutting Measurements

Paper	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Basic White Thick Cardstock	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Front	Basic White Card stock	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Frames	Basic White Card stock	3½ x 4½” x 2	9 x 12cm x 2
Flowers	Basic White Card stock	4 ¼ x 5½”	10.5 x 14.9cm
Sentiment	Basic Black	1½ x 3″	3 x 8cm
Card Insert	Basic White Card stock	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert Strip	Basic White Card stock	1 x 4″	2.5 x 10cm

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

Published on February 4, 2023February 3, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

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.
