Facebook Live Friday – Flowers of Friendship

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Today of my Facebook Live I made this card using the Flowers of Friendship by Stampin’ Up! In this video

I show how to colour an image on black cardstock, as black absorbs colour and unless there is a white base underneath the colour won’t show. I also show how you can colour White Seam Binding and get a veriation in colour on the ribbon using alcohol.

Measurements Used…

Card Base Basic Black- 10.5 x 29.9cm, score at 14.9cm
Card Mat Calypso Coral- 10 x 14.4cm
Card Front Designer Series Paper- 9.7 x 14.1cm

Batik Boutique – One Page Wonder

Published on June 19, 2021June 19, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Have you ever tried making your own Designer Series Paper or One Sheet Wonder…I have only given this a try a few times. I think these cards turned out really well.

I was inspired by a fellow stamper – Northern Stamper and a card she did using the Batik Boutique Stamps by Stampin’ Up! ® and a range of Blue Stampin’ Pads.

I decided to create this card as a One Sheet Wonder – just a basic one, where a sheet of A4 Basic White Cardstock is stamped to create your DSP and then cut into 4 to create 4 cards.

I only used 3 colours- Misty Moonlight, Balmy Blue and Pool Party for both the stamping and cardstock. But then added an extra ‘POP’ with the Gold and Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper.

Measurements Used..

Card Base Misty Moonlight – Portrait Card 10.5 x 29.9cm, scored at 14.9cm Or Landscape Card 14.9 x 21cm, scored at 10.5cm
Card Mat Balmy Blue or Pool Party – 10 x 14.4cm
Card Front DSP- 9.7 x 14.1cm
Circle Die cut – 7 x 7 cm cut with 5.5cm die (cut size of circle), then embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
Metallic Specialty Paper – 1.5 x 9cm
Sentiment – Scrap of Basic White
Sentiment – scrap of Balmy Blue or Pool Party
Card Insert Basic White – 10 x14.4cm

Batik Boutique – Friday Facebook Live

Published on June 6, 2021June 6, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

I love this card……Batik Boutique is a Bundle I like straight away from the 2021-22 Stampin’ Up! ® Annual Catalogue.

But I think it can easily be a ‘Love / Hate’ bundle. This is the first card I have made using this bundle and it was inspired by the card on page 114.

The medallion was a little like putting together a small jigsaw and it definitely the focal point of this card….It was worth it!

the sentiments used on this card comes from the Create with Friends Stamp Set on page 36.

How to make this card…

All the tips and ticks to making this card is in the video…don’t let the detail in the medallion scare you.

Measurements Used –

Card Base Soft Succulent – 10.5 x 29.9cm, score 14.9cm
Card front Basic White – 9 x12cm, Die cut with Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Medallion Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, Polished Pink – 10 14.9cm of each colour. Adhere Adhesive sheet to all and die cut the 2 medallion dies
Medallion Basic White – scrap to cut the base for the medallion
Card Insert – 10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert Trim Polished Pink – .8 x 10cm

Hand-Penned Suite

Published on April 18, 2021April 18, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

On Friday on my Facebook Live I focused on the Hand-Penned Petals Suite by Stampin’ Up! which will be released when the NEW Annual Catalogue is launched in May.

The products in the Hand-Penned Suite 155503 are-

Hand-Petal Petals Bundle 155492, Hand-Penned Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set and Penned Flower Dies
Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper 155499
Genial Gems 155500

Haned-Penned by Stampin' Up! Products from Pre-order 2021-22 Catalogue

The Hand-Penned Petals Stamps are a Photopolymer Stamp, it is made up of a outline stamp and a filler stamp. The filler stamp is a Distinktive Stamp which creates different opacities in a single stamped image. Below is a great tip on using this type of stamp.

When stamping the filler stamp you will notice the stamp is not exact in size to the outline…that’s OK, it’s the way it is supposed to be.

If you missed my FB Live I have linked it below. All the measurements used are mentioned on the Video.
