Enduring Beauty & Thoughtful Moments

When I first saw the NEW Stampin’ Up!® Mini Jan – April 2024 Catalogue I got very excited about some of the wonderful new products. One of these products is the Enduring Beauty Bundle and another was Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder .

Below I have linked the Youtube video showing how I have used these wonderful products.

The Enduring Beauty Bundle is made up of outline stamp of the floral image, 5 masks for the layers of colour and dies for the image, leaves and sentiment.

Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder gives you 9 wonderful sentiments for a variety of cards and there is no ‘Fussy Cutting’

Simply Sparkling – Live with Michele

On Friday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this Z-Fold Card and used the Simply Sparkling Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®.

The Simply Sparkling Bundle is a fun and bubbly bundle, you can let your imagination go with this one, creating cards for all ages . You can stamp the soda can & die cut as is or create the can with the can top, bottom and pull tab in die cuts. The same goes with the fruit…stamp and colour, stamp on coloured cardstock or die cut the fruit using the smaller die pieces. I love the bubbles…again stamp or die cut.

My suggestion is to have the Adhesive Sheets on hand as some of these pieces are small.

The Z-Fold card is a simple and versatile Fun Fold. It can be used in a portrait card, as I have done here or in landscape cards (with the fold on the side). The Z-Fold is the base to many other card styles, for example an Easel Card, Double Z-Fold.

A Z-Fold is created when you fold the card in half and then fold the front of the card back on it’s self. With my card I have added a panel to the front of the card extending across the inside of the card.

Joy of Noel – Live with Michele

Yesterday on ‘Live with Michele’ I played with this simple and fun card…using the Stampin’ Up! ® Joy Of Noel Stamps and Dies Bundle. It was like playing with building blocks.

If you don’t have this bundle grab it now as it is on the ‘Last Chance Sale’ , while stocks last.

Below I have added measurements and a couple of handy tips, also the Youtube Video if you missed my Live. A list of all the supplies I used is also listed where you can just add everything to your Shopping Cart.

The September–December 2023 Mini Catalogue is retiring soon! It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to a Stampin’ Up! catalogue, but we’re looking forward to all the new products on their way—and we hope you are, too!

From 21 November 2023–3 January 2024, you can stock up on your favourite seasonal products and save up to 60% on essential craft supplies! So, what are you waiting for? Start shopping and selling! After all, a selection of Last Chance Products will only be available while supplies last.

  • The above Conversion from Metric to Imperial is as close to what I used (Metric)…these measurements may change depending on Envelope size. I used a Stampin’ Up! Square Envelope (Discontinued) as my guide and it was 14cm Square. You could only use this size or larger as the Dies control the size.
  • Dry fit your letters in the order you want before glues, as you saw in my video just changing placement of squares messed up my placement.

Flight & Airy – Live with Michele

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 – Live with Michele

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
