Storybook Moments

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using the Storybook Moments Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®.

I think I have fallen in LOVE!

This is one of my favorite card folds and it has been a long time since I have used it. It’s a tri-fold card and the 3rd section is small and added onto the main book fold card base.

Mixed Media Florals

On Christmas Day all my boys were home, for the first time in a few years all of them have been together. Two of my boys brought home their partners, two beautiful girls, Georgia and Maddy.

These girls jumped in and helped me prepare Christmas Lunch…It’s so nice having more girls in the family as it has only been me. So having two beautiful daughter (by other mothers), I took the chance and took a photo or selfie of the 3 of us (or Georgia did for me).

It’s a beautiful photo and I wanted to create a special page. As yet I’m still to print the photo, so there is no photo on my page. I will print it as a 4 x 6″ and trim it down to 3 7/8″ to fit on the 4″ mat in Basic White.

I created this page using the beautiful Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card by Stampin’ Up!®. The Mixed Media Florals are one of the products found in the NEW Jan-April 2025 Mini Catalogue, also in the Online exclusives Stampin’ Up! have also released the Mixed Media Floral Suite Collection. Which includes-

  • Mixed Media Florals Bundle
  • Mixed Labels Bundle
  • Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper
  • Plaster painting 3D Embossing Folder
  • Low Profile Dots

For this layout I wanted to show how you can use the Memories & More Cards for a more traditional layout, so I created my layout using the 3 x 4″ Mixed Media Cards placed around the 4″ square in the center. The end cards on the top and bottom rows I had to trim down to 2 x 4″, as I wanted a staggered pattern.

Embellishments

Using the Changing Leaves bundle I die cut 6 sets of leaves. I then coloured these lightly with a blending brush and Shy Shamrock Ink. I had also die cut 3 sets of leaves in Basic Black to use instead of the white leaves and had decided not to use them..After my ‘Live’ had finished I decided they would help make the lighter leaves ‘Pop’

The left side large flower and banner embellishments was fussy cut from one of the larger 4 x 6″ cards and it looks stunning with the Boho Blue 3 x 4″ card behind it. I hopped it up on demensionals with leaves die cut from the Changing Leaves Bundle.

The top center embellishment was die cut using one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added dimensionals to the back and attached it to a Basic Black flagged banner, also from the Stylish shapes. I then added leaves Shy Shamrock leaves, then latter adding the black leaves also.

The last embellishment is one of the stickers that comes with the cards. After removing the stickiness with my embossing buddy I attached it to a white banner with dimensions and again slipping the leaves underneath the sticker.

To finish of my layout I added some Ladybird stickers from the sticker sheet and a double bow in white bakers twine.

Tip: I like to add dimensions or glue only to the center areas of my embellishments that allows me room to slip leaves etc underneath. I create this maybe similar to a florist where they work out there main flowers and bring them together before adding in the fillers.

Layers of Beauty

In Friday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created these two cards using the Layers of Beauty Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®. This Bundle includes stamps, dies and masks, which can be coloured in using different methods. Here I am showing two methods and creating 2 different cards.

The first card is using the same layout from last Fridays live card with one small change…the DSP is only 5cm wide instead of 6cm. This was only because I was trying to get more from the 6 x 6″ DSP.

Nests of Winter

For today’s card I used the Nests of Winter Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®, found on page 30 & 31 of the current 2024 Mini Catalogue Sept- Jan. The idea for this layout was cased from Patty Bennett.

This is a very simple card and the foundation of the card is a good base using any Designer Series Paper, stamps & dies.

I have created added texture to the card by stamping a small image on the left side of the card base using ink the same colour as the cardstock, Gray Granite on Gray Granite. I also inked the edges of the card base and Designer Series Paper with Copper Clay ink. This just gives the cardstock a little more warmth.

Leaves were die cut in Granny Apple Green and Garden Green and also coloured with ink….Garden Green on the Granny Apple Green leaves and Copper Clay on the Garden Green leaves.

All the details are in the YouTube Video linked below….
