Tired Hexagon Pop-Up Card

Published on May 10, 2025May 10, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this fun fold card- Tired Hexagon Pop-Up Card. Last week I also show cased this fun fold for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop, this time time I wanted to recreate my card showing how I made it and a few little tips I learnt in making both cards.

For today’s card I used the Heirloom Arrangements Kit by Stampin’ Up! ® to decorate my card.

This card I found on Youtube – Sam Calcott UK- Mixed Up Craft. The card Messurements she used were for a finished card size of 5 x 7 “.

I have converted these measurements for a card size of 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 ¼ x 5 ½”). This means that this card will fit in our standard envelope.

This card is a lot of fun and elements you add brings it alive.

My biggest tip is…..Plan out what elements you want to add, remember less is more. The first one I put everything into it, maybe over filled it. Yesterdays card is paired back a lot, start from the back and build forward, allow room to see the layers behind.

Mixed Florals

Published on April 13, 2025April 13, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using products from the Mixed Media Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®. From this suite I used the Mixed Florals Bundle and the sentiment from the Mixed Labels Bundle.

I have had this suite of products sitting on my desk for about a month…I’ve made scrapbook pages, but I hadn’t inked up the stamps until now. It was so good to get out my blends again and do some colouring with them.

Do you have a technique you haven’t used for a while? Why not find some time and do it again and just enjoy the moment.

Sketched Butterflies

Published on April 5, 2025April 5, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using the Sketched Butterflies Bundle along with the Full of Life Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! ®.

I decided today was the day to o a bit of colouring with watercolour pencils and by using the Stampin’ Blends Colour Lifter it ment I could use Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp with.

If using the Aqua Painter with water or the Stampin’ Blender Pens you need to use Stazon Ink but if your using Stampin Blends (Alcohol) markers then you can use Memento Ink. I think of it as a case of ‘opposites attract’….water needs permanent ink and Alcohol needs water base ink.

I find that the Colour Lifter blends the water colour pencils really well on the Basic White Cardstock.

In the video below I show how I have coloured the butterfly not tring to be too precise in my colouring. As the stamped image has sketched detail I wanted that to carry through with the colouring. So I don’t mind that you can still see some of the unblended lines from the water olour pencilss.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base Tent Fold	Basic White Thick	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score at 14.9cm
Card Front	DSP	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert	Basic White	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Butterfly	Basic White	4 ¼ x 2¾”	10.5 x 7cmm

Last Chance Products….

As mentioned in my ‘Live’, I wasn’t sure if the Sketched Butterflies Bundle was in the Last Chance Products and …Yes, it is. So if you want this grab it NOW

Thankful Garden

Published on March 22, 2025March 22, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using the Thankful Garden and Painted Strips by Stampin’ Up! ®.

Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers and come in colours that are soft and subtle to deep and dark…all depending on your soil type.

I created this card using Basic Beige instead of white to give a more earthy tone.

Check out the video below for how I created this card.

Tips

Let the Ink dry after stamping the strips, this is a wide strip stamp so there is a lot of ink. When dry the colour will soften.
Take your stencils down so they don’t move on you
When colouring with your blending brushes work lightly, you can always add more ink but you can’t take it away.
The softer or lighter in colour your ink to stamp the out line image the softer and natural your completed image will be.
Play with different colour combinations, Google ‘Hydrangeas’ to see the colour variations.

Measurements Used

	Colour	Imperial/ Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Highland Heather	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Mat	Old Olive	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Front	Basic Beige	3 ⅞ x 5 ⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Card Insert	Basic Beige	3 ⅞ x 5 ⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Card Insert Mat	Old Olive	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm

Storybook Moments & Woven Textures

Published on March 15, 2025March 15, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

On Friday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created two cards using two different Suite Collections, Storybook Moments Suite and Botanical Textures Suite by Stampin’ Up!®.

Both cards were created using the same sketch, Casing a card I saw on Facebook. I’m sorry I don’t have the name who created the card I saw. I loved the simplicity of it, I have changed it slightly and used different products. As this style of card can be created with different products and will always looks great.

Measurements Used…

Storybook Moments – (1)

Woven Textures – (2)

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Lost Lagoon (1) Gray Granite (2)	8½ x 5½”, score @ 4¼”	21 x 14.9cm, score at 10.5cm
Card Base	DSP	2 x 4¼”	6 x 10.5cn
DSP Mat (2)	Basic Black	2⅛ x 4¼”	6.3 x 10.5cm
Card Front	Basic Beige (1) Basic White (2)	3¾ x 2⅜”	10 x 6cm
Card Front Mat	Boho Blue (1) Basic Black (2)	3⅞ x 2½	10.3 x 6.3cm
Card Insert	Basic Beige (1) Basic White (1)	4 x 5 ¼”	14.4 x 10cm
Card Insert Strip	DSP	½ x 5 ¼”	1.5 x 14.4cm

My Sketch Book

My sketch book is a book that Stampin Up!® gave us a couple of years ago and I use it to jot down ideas I see….sketches for cards and scrapbooks either ones I have seen or ideas I’ve created, colour combinations- you see them everywhere…Children’s clothing in Big W or in catalogues….I once even used a layout and colour combo from the back of a Nutragrain box – including the words they used (ironman).

What I love about this book is it has a ‘Dot Grid’ on the pages and I find it great for helping me to draw straight lines…(I’m a bit OCD about this) I can also use the grid for keeping my sketch in proportion…meaning each square is either = 1cm or 1″
