Flight & Airy – Live with Michele

Published on November 22, 2023November 22, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

Last night on my Tuesday Night ‘Live with Michele’ I created this stunning card. I used a NEW Designer Series Paper (DSP) called Light & Airy. This is a sneak peak to one of the DSP’s available in January in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!®.

It is a stunning paper of beautiful watercoloured birds and back grounds. I have used two of the six designs in this card.

I also used a leaf die from another Bundle – Stippled Roses Bundle, another sneak peak from the 2024 Mini Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!®.

If you are wanting a copy of these 2 catalogues and you ‘Live in Australia’ please contact me and I will get copies out to you when they become available.

Meandering Meadows Suite Collection (English)

Meandering Meadows – Live with Michele

Published on November 16, 2023November 16, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

This card turned out really well…..I used the Meandering Meadows Suite found on the Stampin’ Up! ® page under the Online Exclusives. This is a stunning suite, the stamp images a simple and easy to colour and add elements to the beautiful papers in Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper.

This card is a Fun Fold – Spanner Panel Card (why it’s called that …I don’t know). I liked this fun fold for this card because it highlights the Designer Series Paper beautifully. You get the hint of the scene on the front and then open it up to see more of the stunning meadows. Open the center flap to find the greeting….It’s a card that just keeps getting better.

I have added the YouTube Live Video below.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Orchid Oasis	5½ x 8½”, score @ 4¼”	14.9 x 21cm, score @ 10.5cm
Card Front	Window Sheet	1⅛ x 5”	3 x 14cm
Side Panels	Orchid Oasis	1⅛ x 4”	3 x 10cm
Card Front	DSP	2½ x 4”	7.2 x 10cm
Card Insert Sides	DSP	1⅛ x 4”	3 x 10cm
Card Insert	Basic White	2½ x 4”	7.2 x 10cm
Stylish Shapes Circle, Stamping & die cut gate	Basic White	3 x 3” Circle 1½ x 3¼” Gate 2½ x 5” Stamping	7 x 7cm Circle 4 x 8 cm Gate 6 x 12cm Stamping

Tips & Tricks

Side panels are 3.5cm wide (1 ⅜”), in the video the first base I cut it was too narrow, you will see me discard that one and re cut.
I used Window Sheet across the base so it allows the view of the meadow to be seen through the gate. Rather than blocking it off with solid cardstock.
The DSP on card front you could make the same width as center panel…either way would look great.
Colouring with the Stampin’ Up! ® Blends is very simple and you don’t need to use the same number of colours.

Masterfully Made – Live with Michele

Published on August 29, 2023September 23, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

Today on ‘Live with Michele’ I made a card for the Just Add Ink ‘Sketch’ Challenge using Masterfully Made Suite Collection from the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue.

Just Add Ink #667

It’s time for the new Just Add Ink Challenge. This week we have a Sketch that has been suggested by Di. There are so many possibilities for how this Sketch can be used. We are looking forward to seeing what you all make of it. Have fun!

I love challenges because they stretch me, take me out of my comfort zone. They are good if your ‘Mojo’ is a bit lost, as it gives you a starting point. You can copy it as is or change some of the elements as per shapes…circles to square. Turn it around so instead of a portrait layout it becomes a landscape layout.

Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and check what the Design Team have created, make sure you also look at the other entries…Better still create a project and add it to the challenge, have fun!

Masterfully Made

You can watch the attached video below to see how I created this card.

The Vellum circles were cut with the Deckled Circle Dies 162286 from the Sept – Dec 2023 Mini Catalogue, these will be available to order from the 6th September.

Hey Chuck

Published on August 26, 2023September 23, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

This week on my ‘Live with Michele’ I created this fun card using the Stampin’ Up!® ‘Hey Chuck’ Bundle. I was inspired by lots of different cards created by some very talented Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators.

The rooster – Chuck! I coloured using the Stampin Blends, on my video below you will see what colours I used and how they were used to create this ‘Loud and a bit Crazy’ Rooster.

I also added clouds with a template made using the Basic Boarders Die and Starry Sky Link brushed on with a blending Brush.

Oh Holly Night – Live with Michele

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

Last night on ‘Live with Michele’ I created this Fun Fold – Faux Step Card, using the ‘O Holy Night Suite’. This suite you will find in the Sept – Dec Mini Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!®.

I saw this card created by Mary Deatherage, Mary used the Trucking Along Bundle to create her fun card. Which you can see HERE. Mary has great diagrams on the scoring lines, other wise you will see on my attached video, below.

O Holy Night is a BIG suite of products, for this card I have only used half of it. For me it really depicts what Christmas is all about with the Nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus.

The Designer Series Paper, O Holy Night, has 3 sheets of scenes depicting desert, towns and night sky. They are 12 x 12″ (30 x 30cm), great for both cards and scapbooking. The only thing is you need to plan out what sections you want to use on your card and cut wisely. With my card below I used half a sheet, which left me with a few off cuts I will try to use on other projects.

O Holy Night Suite by Stampin' Up! from the 2023 Sept - Dec Mini Catalogue. This is a Faux Side Step Card

Measurements Used…

These measurements may have changed from original, I’m sorry about that. Went to fix a small error and lost the lot, so had to rewrite these. Sorry for any inconvenience.

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Night of Navy	5 ½” x 8”, score along long edge @ 1”, 2”, 5”	14.9 x 20cm, score along long edge @2.5, 5,12.5cm
Card Base Front	DSP	⅝ x 5¼”	2.2 x 14.6cm
Card Base Back	DSP	2⅝ x 5¼”	7.2 x 14.6cm
Card Front	Night of Navy	3 x 6”, scored at 4¼”	8.5 x 15.5cm, score at 10.5cm
Card Front	DSP	2⅝ x 4⅛”	8.2 x 10.2cm
Sentiment	Very Vanilla	2½ x 2½”	6 x 6cm

Strip	DSP	½ x 5¼”	1.3 x 14.6cm
Nativity Scene & Camel	Basic Black	4¼ x 3¼”	8.5 x 10.5

How to…

Cut all cardstock and score
Designer Series Paper – All pieces are cut from a half sheet of DSP 15 x 30cm (6 x 12″), you need to plan out were you will be cutting first. Cut each piece in order as below, see video.
1. Cut the Card Base Strip DSP first – this is so you can cut in one strip.
2. Card Front Panel – Decide how much ground to sky you want to use. Cut your depth 10.2cm (4⅛”) and then work out the width for star placement on your card front.
3. Remaining DSP- cut Card Base and writing panel strip
Stamp sentiment onto Very Vanilla using Night of Navy Ink Pad and die cut using stitched square from Stylish Shapes
Adhere the Card Base DSP strip to the small mountain fold and Card Base DSP to larger mountain fold
Adhere the Card Front DSP to Card Front.
Add glue to the back of the card front…ONLY on the bottom 2cm ( 1″), height of the small mountain.
Fold card and adhere the back section of the Card Front to the back of the Card Base, again only approx 1cm (½”)
Add sentiment to card base.
Attach Nativity Scene with mini dimensionals
Writing panel
- Attach DSP strip along the bottom
- Adhere the camel, being careful on the amount of glue used.
- Attach to the back of the Card Base.
Add Wink of Stella to star.

Colour & Contour – Live with Michele

Published on August 16, 2023August 16, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

Today I’m taking part in the Just Add Ink ‘Clean & Simple’ Challenge and I am using Stampin’ Up!® Colour & Contour Stamps and Scalloped Contours Dies from the Annual Catalogue.

Just Add Ink #665

What is Clean & Simple?…Below is the definition by Just Add Ink, for some it’s just “Stamps, Paper, Ink”

What is “Clean & Simple”…Minimal accents and layers, clean colour pallets, nothing overly fussy…Basically the less is more concept!

Others say…there must be ‘White Space, Minimal layers, clean lines and shapes, few embellishments and they must be small, Patterned, Designer, textured, glittered and metallic paper to be kept to an absolute minimum’

Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and check what the Design Team have created, make sure you also look at the other entries….better still create a project and add it to the challenge, have fun!

Colour & Contour

This card I used a very simple design to keep in with the ‘Clean & Simple’ theme….I have a Card Base and a Card front, both in white. The Card Front I added texture by using a mask from the New Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks (available in September to Order) with Smoky Slate.

The card front is adhere to the card base with multi purpose glue, making the two layers as one. You could very easily make this card with out the card front.

The flower image from Colours & Contours is a very simple design but has a beautiful flow to it with the curves lines of the flowers and stem. It is a two step stamp where there is a second stamp to fill in the petals of the flower heads and bud. I used Memento Tuxedo Black to stamp my image and Bubble Bath to colour the petals and bud.

I finished of this card with just 3 Classic Matt Dots.
