On ‘Live with Michele’ this week I created a card using Stampin’ Up!® Trees for Sale Stamps (mini Catalogue) and Tree Lot Dies (Sale-A-Bration).
Sale-A-Bration finishes this week on Wednesday 31st August….and these dies will no longer be available.
They are so cute and great for building a scene. Here I have tried to create a scene on the beach at Christmas….a lot of families in Australia spend Christmas and Christmas holidays on beaches or near water, eating seafood and playing beach cricket.
Building scenes and telling stories with dies are so much fun.

If you enjoyed also enjoy making story scenes using Dies then come along to my Birthday Piggy Class in September.

Perfect Partners
Some things are great on their own but become epic when they are paired with something else: cereal and milk, toast and butter, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We may be biased, but our favorite combo is our stamp sets and dies—and that’s what the Perfect Partners promotion is all about!
We created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalogue and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalogue. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalogue. These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you will save 10% off the retail price.

Stampin’ Up!® Used…
(Excluding the Dies which start on the 1st September – 30th September)
Last week on ‘Live with Michele’ I created a stamped scrapbook page using Stampin’ Up! ® Brightest Beauty Bundle, Pretty medallion stamp and Crane of Fortune (Discontinued from Jan-Jun 2022 Mini)
This week I used my created sheet of DSP and completed a scrapbook page for my Wedding Album. This is a simple layout, with lots of layers in mats surrounding the photo’s. I wanted to keep it simple as there is a lot going on the stamped page.
A layer of vellum was added under the photo’s to give a little separation between the photo’s and printed cardstock. The back ground is busy and I wanted to tone it down slightly but still see the images coming through.
Both photo’s are the same size and I wanted to give the impression that one was larger than the other. To do this I did larger mats and decorated one so it stood out from the page more.The second photo i extended the bottom mat in depth to allow area for jornalling.

Welcome to Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world 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.
Our theme this month is Anything But Christmas. This is where we can use any product from the Stampin’ Up! ® Catalogues and make a card that doesn’t have a Christmas theme and as we are now getting closer to Christmas and the Stampin’ Up! ® Mini Catalogue is all about the Holiday Seasons it’s good to just make something not holiday related.
My cards in both the Blog Hop and the Tutorial focus on….
Brightest Beauty
Last Friday on my ‘Live with Michele’ I created a stamped 12 x 12″ Designer Series Paper(DSP) to be used in my Wedding Scrapbook Album. I also created a piece on A4 Basic White Cardstock and decided to use this piece to create this card.
The base of my card I used Sahara Sand Cardstock and made a mat using the Split Card Textures Dies. The mat piece I used the Blending Brushes and Soft Suede Stampin’ Pad to go around the edges and die cut areas to add a little colour.
The DSP I cut down slightly smaller than my mat and tore down one side at a angle giving me a rough edge. I again added Soft Suede ink to all my edges….I just wanted to give it a earthy sort of tone.
The sentiment is from the Go to Greetings Stamp Set. This is such a great set using four basic greetings like – Happy Birthday, Just a Note, Thank You and Thinking of you and 3 different fonts. This will be my go to set for sentiments. The sentiment was die cut out using the frame die from the Brightest Beauty Bundle.
I finished of the card by adding a generous triple bow, and the sentiment just sits below but with parts of the bow under caught under it. Some Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots
On the inside of my card I have added an insert using a piece of DSP where I hadn’t stamped all the way. So if you don’t like adding lots of writing it’s perfect.

Mini Pocket Envelope Dies…. are just the right size for a Gift Tag, to hold a Gift Card, you can add it to the front of a card with an extra message inside or add on to a scrapbook page to hold your journaling…the ideas are endless.
On my ‘Live’ today I used the Stampin’ Up! Mini Pocket Envelope Dies to created a very ‘Shabby Chic’ style or even ‘Grunge’ style Pocket Envelope.
To decorate the envelope I used Quite Meadow Stamps, Stitchery Stamps, Meadow Dies and Brilliant Wings Dies
I used the blending brushes to add layers of age around the edges and splatters of White craft Ink and Wink of Stella.
This style is so out of my comfort zone …. but I had so much fun creating it. In the gallery above is also photo’s showing the another Mini Pocket Envelope using the Hues of Happiness suite.
Please excuse the start of the video as I had a small sound issue which we fixed..this is Live no editing…so I hope you enjoy

This card I created a watercolour back ground using a smooching technique and an acrylic block and stamped flowers from the Dragonfly Garden Stamps.
Using Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper by Stampin’ Up! and two stamp pads – Tahitian Tide & Parakeet Party.
TIPS: The flower and sentiment was stamped with Memento Black Ink. Memento is a water based ink so I had to make sure that the watercolour back ground was very dry before stamping. If you were to do the watercolouring after the stamping the black would bleed. You should use Stazon whenever you are doing watercolour on top of an image.
I used the same technique a couple of weeks back on ‘Live with Michele’ You can watch the video HERE on YouTube. In this video I used 3 colours and a smaller block..With this card I used ‘E’ size block

If you have been sitting on the fence not sure if you should JOIN the Stampin’ Up! Family or not….well now is the time to jump down and JOIN.
Beautiful Shapes….I just love these hexagons, for the past week or two I have been working on an English Paper Piecing quilt using hexagons. Using up lots of little scrapes of fabric left over from face masks I was making over the last couple of years.
Whenever I do a watercolour card I usually have practice pieces or pieces I wasn’t happy with. Instead of throwing them away you could cut then up using dies…leaves, flowers or hexagons and use to create other interesting projects.
The sentiment is from the Happiness Abounds Stamp set and the dies I used to cut it out is from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I sat the sentiment on top of a vellum circle as it got lost a little with the background DSP- Perfectly Penciled and coloured Hexagons.
Below is my quilt…it’s now twice the size…great while watching TV.
