This week on my Facebook Live I created this fun fold Pinwheel Card using products by Stampin’ Up! from the Annual and SAB Catalogues This is a popular fun fold card at the moment and a fun one to make.
This card is a landscape card that is made to fit into C6 Envelope. In the video I also showed a Portrait version of this card also and will also post the measurements below for both cards.
The Designer Series Paper used is the Beautifully Penned 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. You can earn this paper for FREE when you spend $90 from either the Annual or Mini Catalogue…make sure you you check out the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue for any of the other products that are FREE. Starts 3 August…only 2 more days.

I made this card using the Stampin’ Up! In Bloom Bundle with the coordinating Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper from the Jan- Feb Sale-A-Bration
The Pierced Blooms Dies from this bundle are so much fun. They cut out the flower and leaf shapes as well as leaving stitching lines that give great detail. This is a really fun set to use…a great way to use up all those small scraps of cardstock.
I have used a piece of vellum on top of the Designer Series Paper, this will allow the flowers to be the focal point against the background.

This card makes we want some fresh juicy strawberry’s…what about you?
What are you …a strawberry and chocolate person, or maybe strawberry’s and cream? Every Sunday Joe and I have French Toast with Maple Syrup and Strawberry’s…and some times a dollop of Ricotta Cheese on top (light of course). Oh…my mouth is watering for it now!

The card I have made today is using the Berry Blessings Bundle and is found on page 14-15 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!. The stamp set – Berry Blessings has 13 Photopolymer stamps and is a two step stamp. Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper has 12 sheets of 12 x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5cm) paper, 2 of each of the 6 double sided designs.
You can earn this Level Two bundle when you spend $180.
This bundle co-ordinates with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle found in the Stampin’ Up! 2021 Jan- Jun Mini Catalogue on page 44.
The colours in these Designer Series papers are very bright and fresh. To soften the DSP I added a layer of Vellum, this allowed the print of the berry to stand out from the plaid behind. The Berry DSP was die cut using one of the dies from the Ornate Layers. The stamped images were stamped onto one of the circles from the Stitched Shapes Dies.

Flower & Field – Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper
For this months customer ‘Thank You’ Cards I have used the FREE Flower & Field Designer Series Paper along with the Flowers for every season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes.
Each piece of Designer Series Paper was cut at 7.6 x 10.2cm (3 x 4″) and adhered with in the printed boarder on the card front.
The sentiment is part of the Punch Party Stamp Set, this is a Hostess stamp set you can earn… see the back of the Sale-A- Bration Catalogue or contact me to find out how.
I stamped the Thank You sentiment onto 1.9 cm strip of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The ends of the sentiment where finished off by using the Banners Pick a Punch. A 18cm length of ribbon was folded and attached under the banner using Seal adhesive.
With the Everyday Label Punch I punched out a label from vellum and adhered the sentiment to it. This was then attached to the card front with a couple of dimensionals.
**Here’s a little food for thought for you…..when you purchasing the the products used today (except for the Punch Party Stampset) you have spent enough to earn the FREE Flower & Field Designer Series Paper from the Sale-A-Bration.

Today I thought I would share with you some of the reasons why I joined Stampin’ Up! ®.
First I’m going to tell you a little about me and how I ended up here, where I am now.
I have always loved to craft. From a young age my mother taught me to sew and craft. I made things like dolls clothes and even clothes for myself. Holidaying with my Grandmother she taught me to knit and crochet. Later I learnt how to embroidery, lace making and tatting. My mother and grandmother were very talented ladies and passed lots of knowledge onto me.
After finishing school I studied fashion at the local TAFE (Technical and Further Education) for 2 years and then moved to Sydney to work as a machinist in a clothing factory. After a few years I left there and worked in retail, selling fabrics. While working I also took further studies at TAFE doing Embroidery.
During this time I meet my husband and we had 2 boys and married. We then decided to leave Sydney and move to the Southern Highlands. We had another two boys and by this stage we were taking lots of photos of all their activities and this is when I started to get into ‘Scrapbooking’. I did have an interest in telling stories with my photo’s and displaying them in ways to make them interesting well before this period of my life but really had very little knowledge of how and/or where to buy product.
I later heard about Creative Memories and started scrapping all my photo’s.
A few years later I joined a design team for a local shop and spent a few years creating and sometimes teaching at the shop. When they closed down I started my own business creating albums for others and it was around this time I heard about Stampin’ Up!. I went to a party held by a friend and then booked a party for myself.
So of course the next step was to join and I have loved every minute ever since.
So Why Stampin’ Up!®
Great quality – I love the fact that Stampin’ Up!® have great products and they are of the highest standard. They care about their products and how they perform. If they are not up to standard they have no problems with pulling them from the catalogue and try to improve then. Even though it may be frustrating to us and to them.
Great Value – Because they sell the stamps mostly in sets they are more cost effective. I like buying a set of stamps for $30-50 instead of one stamp for $30 (which I have done I the past)
Everything Co-ordinates – I LOVE THIS! All the Designer Series Paper, Cardstock and Embellishments coordinate. No more searching for a colour that will go
Its all one stop shopping…no need to search at different suppliers. It’s like going to the super market…I hate going to 2 or 3 places to get what I want. I just want to go to one place get it and go home…DONE!
The products are exclusive…Stampin’ Up! designed it, made it and sell it. 99% of the products you can only buy through a Stampin’ Up! ® Independent Demonstrator, like myself.
So why did I Join?
Everything above, plus more..
Great discount on product
You get to purchase the product before it’s released
Great training from Stampin’ Up!®, On-line and On Stage Events.
Always helpful and contactable – Staff are always willing to help in anyway they can.
I can make an income..big or small or just pay for my own hobby
What have I gained…
I have gained so much…lots of wonderful friendships from all over the world. I I have grown as a person and have gain a huge amount of confidence in what I am doing and who I am. You can make this business into what ever business you want…meaning – if you want to be a Hobby Demo and just only purchase for yourself you can (as long as you meet quarterly minimums), share it with just a few friends, run classes from your home (being Covid safe) or do everything On-Line.
As long as you follow the guidelines Stampin’ Up! ® have set out for us to use.

This week I have mixed things up a bit by using the image from one stamp set and the sentiment from another. The two sets come from the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration Catalogue and you can get either one FREE when you spend $90 (AU) or spend $180 (AU) and get both for FREE
How to make my card..
Product required-
By the Bay stamp set 149739
Home to Roost149736
Early Espresso cardstock – Card base 14.5 x 21 cm, scoured at 10.5 cm & banner 9.7 x 1 cm
Pool Party cardstock – mat 14 x 10 cm & a small piece for under the banner 10.7 x .5 cm
White Embossing Powder, VersaMark, Embossing Buddy, Heat Gun
How to-
Watercolour Paper – stamp seagulls all over using Stazon ink.
Loosely colour the image with inks using Aqua Painter
Cut using the Stitched Framelit circle
Stamp the seagulls also onto the Crumb Cake cardstock with the Crumb Cake ink.
Emboss the sentiment onto the Early Espresso banner with the White Embossing Powder and heat set. TIP: Don’t cut your Banner down to above measurements until after Embossing. I use a Post-it Note to help like a handle when positioning under the Trimmer so that I can get a narrow strip.
Adhere the Pool Party Strip/Banner to back of the Banner peeking out a little at the bottom. Attach Mini Dimensionals to the underneath of banner.
Adhere card together.
