Classic Wedding

My card today was created with the Classic Wedding Bundle from the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives.

How to make this card…

Here is some of my working tips in creating this card…

  • I created my own Designer Series Paper for the card by stamping the Classic Wedding images onto a quarter sheet of Basic beige cardstock using Basic Beige Ink Pad and then trimming it down to the required size.
    • I decided to start from the centre and work outwards. Instead of starting with a whole card in the middle I went with two cars side by side in the middle. Then stamped partial cars around it.
    • The gaps in between the cars is substantial, so filled them in with the hearts and Cheers.
    • I decorated the boots of the cars with the ‘Just Married’ and leaf stamps.
  • The leaves were left over from another project and the roses I created when I created a Classic Wedding card on a recent ‘Live with Michele’…HERE’s the Link.
    • I dragged the Bubble Bath ink pad across some Basic White cardstock with small short strokes in different directions to give texture. Then die cut the roses, some of the roses may have more white then pink or different shades of the pink.
  • The Card Insert Strip was stamped with the hearts and Cheers stamps.

Classic Wedding

This is such a cute card and was so much fun to make. The Classic Wedding Bundle by Stampin’ Up!® is a new product found in the Online Exclusives. I have so many ideas flying around in my head of cards I want to make with this.

The stamps have outline stamps and other stamps that can be used to colour the images. You could also use your blends or watercolour pencils to colour these images. There are dies that cut out the image but also add dimension with window frames, bumper bar and lights. Why not let your imagination go…what can you create?

See the video below to see how this card was created.

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Colour Challenge’ by Monique and I am using the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle and Peaceful Season Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®.

Winterly Tree Tops & Peaceful Seasons

I had a lot of fun creating this card, using some techniques I hadn’t used before. I have had the Pearlized Enamel Effects and the Matallic Enamel Effects in my stash for a little while but had never pulled the out to use until now.

My “TIPS’

  • When using the Enamel effects and mixing with water etc, mix them on an old piece of plastic you can throw away. i used a block and could only clean with a piece of steel wool.
  • When do the splatters have some scrap paper underneath your work. I now have splatters on my glass mat and not sure I want to put steel wool onto it…..May just live with it like it is.

Cockatoo Run

Today I am taking part in ‘Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop’. I will be joining in with some amazingly talented Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. You will find the Links to the others participating below…..I hope you enjoy!

It has been a while since I have last taken part in this Blog Hop, so I’m really pleased I’ve managed to get everything together to play along with the others in this Blog Hop.

While going through my photos I came across these photos taken back in 2004 of my boys and two of their friends. We took the boys on a train trip on the Vintage Cockatoo Run going from Moss Vale to Robertson and back to Moss Vale.

For this double page layout I used the papers from the ‘Autumn to Remember’ Scrapbooking Workshop Kit by Stampin’ Up!®.

How I created my page…

Photo

  • I used 8 photos for this layout.
  • The top 6 photos across the top were trimmed down to 4 7/8 x 5 3/4 ( 9.8 x 14.6cm) to fit on the photo mat.
  • Bottom left photo 4 x 6″
  • Bottom right photo 4 x 4″

Layout

This is my general sketch used

Embellishments

  • Trees from the Peaceful Evergreen Dies were cut in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow cardstock.
  • Train was cut from Basic Black cardstock using a Silhouette Cameo.
  • Title was cut using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies, cutting in Early Espresso and Daffodil Delight Cardstock. Adhesive Sheets were added before die cutting. The letters were slightly overlapped to create a shadow effect.
  • Other sentiments were from the sticker sheet that came with the workshop kit.

Jouraling

I created a hidden journaling pocket on the second page, which is hidden behind the last photo. On top of the journaling I added a tab from the ‘Keeping Tabs Bundle and stamped ‘The Story’ from ‘Love this Moment Stamp Set. This then just slips behind the photo and you just pull up the tab to read.

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Sketch Challenge’ by Maheswari and I am using the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs, Joyful Images & Joyful Sayings by Stampin’ Up!®.

Joyful Images & Joyful Sayings

I have created this simple and easy Christmas card using Maheswari’s sketch and the Mix and Match Ephemera packs from the Stampin’ Up!® Sept- Jan 2024 Mini Catalogue. I have used the A Little bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, which also comes with some of these same ephemera pieces.

Why didn’t I use the elements from the Specialty DSP?

The answer to that is…I’ve used them up. There is also more choice in the Mix & Match packs, they all work together and are great when creating on the go.

To give a bit more texture to the card, I embossed the Basic White panel using the Basic Embossing Folders.

I also used leaves left over from other projects to add extra fill in my clusters.

  • Mossy Meadow Leaves- Winter Tree Top Dies
  • Gold Foil Leaves- Sentimental Wishes Dies

This card was created purely from what I had lying around my desk.

Layers of Beauty

In Friday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created these two cards using the Layers of Beauty Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®. This Bundle includes stamps, dies and masks, which can be coloured in using different methods. Here I am showing two methods and creating 2 different cards.

The first card is using the same layout from last Fridays live card with one small change…the DSP is only 5cm wide instead of 6cm. This was only because I was trying to get more from the 6 x 6″ DSP.

This layout is CASED from Patty Bennett.

Measurements Used…

Card 1

  • Stamping
    • Stamp image with Early Espresso Stampin’ Pad.

Nests of Winter

For today’s card I used the Nests of Winter Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®, found on page 30 & 31 of the current 2024 Mini Catalogue Sept- Jan. The idea for this layout was cased from Patty Bennett.

This is a very simple card and the foundation of the card is a good base using any Designer Series Paper, stamps & dies.

I have created added texture to the card by stamping a small image on the left side of the card base using ink the same colour as the cardstock, Gray Granite on Gray Granite. I also inked the edges of the card base and Designer Series Paper with Copper Clay ink. This just gives the cardstock a little more warmth.

Leaves were die cut in Granny Apple Green and Garden Green and also coloured with ink….Garden Green on the Granny Apple Green leaves and Copper Clay on the Garden Green leaves.

All the details are in the YouTube Video linked below….
