Stippled Roses Bundle (English)

Stippled Roses

Published on January 17, 2024January 17, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

Today’s card I have used the Stippled Roses Bundle from the Stampin’ Up! ® Jan – April Mini Catalogue. This is a beautiful detailed stamp with coordinating Dies that not only cut the images out but extra elements as well.

The Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper used in this card can be found in the Jan – Feb Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. When you purchase the Stippled Roses Bundle for $94.50 (AUD) you can get the Softly Stippled DSP for FREE!

I chose to keep this card all the same in colour to also play on the same tone Designer Series Paper, but you could very easily add colour to the Roses and Leaves to change the look completely.

By adding the Vellum die cut leaves under the Pebble Path die cut leaves it softens the look, making it look just that little bit lighter and lacy.

Below is a link to my YouTube Video showing how I created this card.

Simply Sparkling – Live with Michele

Published on December 30, 2023December 30, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

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.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Boho Blue	5½ x 8½”, score @ 2⅛ & 4¼”	14.9 x 21cm, score @ 5.25 & 10.5cm
Card Front	Boho Blue	3 x 4¼”	7.5 x 10.5 cm
Front Mat & Insert	Basic White	3⅛ x 4⅜”	7.8 x 10.8cm x 2
DSP Front	Boho Blue	2⅞ x 5 ¼”	4.75 x 14.4cm
DSP Insert	Boho Blue	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Stamping	Basic White	¼ sheet
Die cutting	Smoky Slate Daffodil Delight Lemon Lime Twist Sweet Sorbet Garden Green	Scraps

Joy of Noel – Live with Michele

Published on November 25, 2023November 25, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

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.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Basic White	5⅛ x 10¼”, score at 5⅛”	13 x 26cm, score @13cm
Card Mat	Basic Black	4⅞ x 4⅞”	12.5 x 12.5cm
Card Front Base	Basic White	4 ¾ x 4¾”	12 x 12cm
Noel	Silver Glimmer Paper – Adheisive	2¾ x 2¾”	7 x 7cm
	Berry Burst	2¾ x 2¾”	7 x 7cm
	Granny Apple Green	2¾ x 2¾”	7 x 7cm
	Daffodil Delight	2¾ x 2¾”	7 x 7cm
	Orchid Oasis	2¾ x 2¾”	7 x 7cm
Sentiment	Basic Black	1¼ x 4”	3 x 10 cm

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.

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.

Measurements used and link to my video are below.

Meandering Meadows Suite Collection (English)

If you enjoyed this post, please be sure to . . .

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.
