Cockatoo Run

Published on October 14, 2024October 14, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

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.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my Blog. I hope you have enjoyed my projects & that you’re inspired to get crafty!

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Published on October 4, 2024October 3, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

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.

How to make this card…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Night of Navy	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Front	DSP	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Front Panel	Basic White	3½ x 3”	8.5 x 8cm
Card Insert	Basic White	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert Strip	DSP	⅝ x 5 ¼”	1.5 x 14.4cm
Leaves	Mossy Meadow	Scrapes cut 4 of each
Leaves	Gold Foil	Scrapes cut 4 of each

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.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my Blog. I hope you have enjoyed my projects & that you’re inspired to get crafty!

Nests of Winter

Published on September 11, 2024September 11, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

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….

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Gray Granite	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Front	DSP	2½ x 5 ⅞”	6 x 14.8cm
Card Front	DSP	½ x 5 ⅞”	1.5 x 14.8cm
Die cut circle	Basic White	4 x 4”	10 x 10cm
Card Insert	Basic White	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Insert Strip	DSP	½ x 5 ¼”	1.5 x 14.4cm

Sentimental Christmas

I have decided to CASE a card from page 28 in the Mini, using the Sentimental Christmas Suite. This was a fun and simple card to CASE, with some simple stamping, use of White and gold Embossing Powder and you can’t forget the use of the Sentimental Wishes Designer Series Paper on the card front and a die cut image of the stocking.

How to make this card…

Card Front	DSP	3½ x 4¼”	8 x 11cm
Card Front	Very Vanilla	3½ x 3¼”	8 x 9cm
Sentiment	Shaded Spruce	3½ x ⅞”	8 x 2.2cm

Card Insert	Very Vanilla	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Strip	DSP	¾ x 5 ¼”	2 x 14.4cm

Tips

Stamp Stocking
- Mask of bottom portion of Very Vanilla Cardstock so you are only stamping the top section of the stockings
Don’t forget to die cut the Branch and gold emboss the bow/die cut….I almost forgot!

Frames & Flowers Cards

Published on August 22, 2024August 22, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

On ‘Live with Michele’ I created two cards using the Frames & Flowers Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! ®. This paper pack consists of 3 sheets of double sided DSP and the 3 sheets of die cuts of frames, wreaths and floral images.

These papers and dies can be used for cards and also be used in scrapbook pages.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Pretty Peacock	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Mat	Petal Pink	4 x 5¼	10.2 x 13.2cm
Card Insert Mat	Petal Pink	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert	Basic White	3⅞ x 5⅛	9.7 x 14.1cm

Card Mat Metric – On the video I cut this using the Imperial Measurements as the frame, have added Metric measurements above
TIP: clean your embossing folder after embossing , as any residue ink left of the folder may transfer to your next project.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Basic White	5¼ x 10½”, score at 5¼”	13 x 26cm, score at 13cm
Card Mat	DSP	4¾ x 4¾”	12 x 12cm
Card Front	Petal Pink	4 x 4”	10.5 x 10.5cm
Card Insert	Basic White	4 x 4”	10.5 x 10.5cm
Card Insert mat	Petal Pink	4¼ x 4¼”	11 x 11cm
Sentiment	Basic White	1¾ x 4”	4 x 10cm

When embossing the Petal Pink Card Front for this card I got residue ink from the previous card. If this happens to you …the embossing folder I have used in this card looks just as good on the wrong side. So I could turn the piece over and keep going.

Frames & Flowers – Sisters

Published on August 18, 2024August 18, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

I created this scrapbook page today using the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®.

Earlier this year my sister visited Australia from England and this photo was taken at our family lunch in Mudgee. The layout for this page I have cased from Create by Jennifier.

Using a blending brush and Petal Pink Stampin’ Pad I inked around the edges of the Basic White cardstock and splattered some watered down Lost Lagoon ink. to give the page some texture.

Title

The title I created using my Cameo Silhouette which I used to cut Pretty Peacock cardstock. The font used is called Sister Charming Script.

The other part of my title was printed on my computer.
