Flight & Airy – Live with Michele

Published on November 22, 2023November 22, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

Last night on my Tuesday Night ‘Live with Michele’ I created this stunning card. I used a NEW Designer Series Paper (DSP) called Light & Airy. This is a sneak peak to one of the DSP’s available in January in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!®.

It is a stunning paper of beautiful watercoloured birds and back grounds. I have used two of the six designs in this card.

I also used a leaf die from another Bundle – Stippled Roses Bundle, another sneak peak from the 2024 Mini Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!®.

If you are wanting a copy of these 2 catalogues and you ‘Live in Australia’ please contact me and I will get copies out to you when they become available.

Meandering Meadows Suite Collection (English)

Meandering Meadows – Live with Michele

Published on November 16, 2023November 16, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

This card turned out really well…..I used the Meandering Meadows Suite found on the Stampin’ Up! ® page under the Online Exclusives. This is a stunning suite, the stamp images a simple and easy to colour and add elements to the beautiful papers in Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper.

This card is a Fun Fold – Spanner Panel Card (why it’s called that …I don’t know). I liked this fun fold for this card because it highlights the Designer Series Paper beautifully. You get the hint of the scene on the front and then open it up to see more of the stunning meadows. Open the center flap to find the greeting….It’s a card that just keeps getting better.

I have added the YouTube Live Video below.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Orchid Oasis	5½ x 8½”, score @ 4¼”	14.9 x 21cm, score @ 10.5cm
Card Front	Window Sheet	1⅛ x 5”	3 x 14cm
Side Panels	Orchid Oasis	1⅛ x 4”	3 x 10cm
Card Front	DSP	2½ x 4”	7.2 x 10cm
Card Insert Sides	DSP	1⅛ x 4”	3 x 10cm
Card Insert	Basic White	2½ x 4”	7.2 x 10cm
Stylish Shapes Circle, Stamping & die cut gate	Basic White	3 x 3” Circle 1½ x 3¼” Gate 2½ x 5” Stamping	7 x 7cm Circle 4 x 8 cm Gate 6 x 12cm Stamping

Tips & Tricks

Side panels are 3.5cm wide (1 ⅜”), in the video the first base I cut it was too narrow, you will see me discard that one and re cut.
I used Window Sheet across the base so it allows the view of the meadow to be seen through the gate. Rather than blocking it off with solid cardstock.
The DSP on card front you could make the same width as center panel…either way would look great.
Colouring with the Stampin’ Up! ® Blends is very simple and you don’t need to use the same number of colours.

Christmas Baubles – Live with Michele

Published on November 4, 2023November 4, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

Yesterdays ‘Live’ was fun….it’s always fun when you can play with ink and water….Don’t you think?

I have been watching the reels on my Instagram and there has been a few people who have been creating these stunning Christmas baubles using watercolour paint and watercolour paper. As the short reel below.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Mana (@manajoypaperco)

I have taken this idea and using Stampin’ Up!® Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper and the Inks to create my version of these baubles. I created my circle using a Stampin’ Up!® container and dipping it into watered down ink on a block. What other shapes do you have at home you could use…..How about ‘cookie cutters’…I hope you have fun creating some of these like I did.

With the added use of Joy of Noel Bundle and Country Wreath Dies, it just finished off my cards.

There is a YouTube Video below showing how I created my card.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Basic White	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Mat	DSP	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Front	Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper	3 ½ x 5”	9 x 12.5cm
Card Insert	Basic White	4 x 5 ¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert Strip	DSP	½ x 4 ¼”	1 x 10.5cm
Stamping & Diecutting	Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper	3 ½ x 5”	9 x 12.5cm

The card below was my try out card with a smaller glass for my circle.

Help Us Make a Difference

People are at the heart of what we do! Each year with our product giveback program, we look to support organisations in our communities that strive to make a positive difference for those in need. This year, we’re supporting AngliCare’s Toys n’ Tucker in Australia and Christmas Box in New Zealand.

Our featured product is the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (item 162377), which you can find in the September–December 2023 Mini Catalogue. For every paper sold, we will donate $4.25 AUD to a variety of charities throughout our global community.

Many of us have found ourselves in circumstances where we’ve needed some extra help and have been so grateful for the generosity of others. And we hope that you will join us in our efforts to give back!
