This week on my Facebook Live I wanted to show you some of the products I have received in my pre-order from the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalogue. Also I had a play with the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. This was the first time I had a go at using them so we learnt about them together.
Tips on using the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks
Have your shammy or wipes handy to clean the masks after using – because the masks are a dark colour the ink sitting on them is not really visible. It’s very easy to turn over and get ink on your work. So clean straight away.
Mask off areas your not using on both the mask and cardstock…even for the small leaves
With a permanent pen (Sharpie) mark 1 & 2 on the flower mask so you remember which one to use first.
Always start with your light colour first.
Watch what colours your putting together because the colours layer on top of each other and you may end up with a new colour ‘Mud’
Leaf Mask – use your blending brush up and down not in a circular motion.
Thank you for stopping by and reading my Blog. I hope you have enjoyed my projects & that you’re inspired to get crafty!

This was a fun card to make using the Amazing Silhouettes Stamp set. You may not recognise this stamp as it is a sneak peak from the 2022 Jan-Jun Stampin’ Up! ® Mini Catalogue.
I tried to create a male theme card with the Amazing Silhouettes tree and the grays of the Heart and Home Designer Series Paper. The colours behind the tree are the colours in a sunset shinning through the tree.
The sentiment comes from the Handsomely Suited Stamps, heat embossed in black and cut into sections to create space.
I used the Stamparatus to help create the layers of colours. Using a Sponge Dauber to add one colour at a time to the stamp, then stamping each colour separately and making sure that each colour blends (or overlaps into the other).
The colours used are –
Misty MoonLight
Gorgeous Grape
Melon Mambo
Bumble Bee
Evening Evergreen

Today in my Facebook Live I used the Amazing Silhouettes Stamp set from the Jan- Jun 2022 Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalogue to create these 3 x 3″ cards plus a Standard Card.
These Thank You Cards would be great for a baby Shower when not knowing if the baby was a boy or girl.
I used the ‘ Baby Wipe Technique’ to stamp the images, giving a very soft and subtle look.
What is the Baby Wipe Technique
For this technique you require approx 3 Baby Wipes & some Re-Inkers, use only 3-4 colours. Too many colours and you will end up with a muddy colour.

This month our theme is Gift Packaging.
There is a story behind my project today and I would love to share that with you.
As a child in the 1970’s in the small country town where we lived we still had the Baker, Fruit and Veg Man and Milk Man that would deliver to us each week. Come Christmas my mother would go and buy a bottle of Beer for each one as a thank you for the service they provided. She would wrap the bottle in red crepe paper and a strip of back cardboard around the middle and the a Santa head cut from Christmas wrapping…It wasn’t always easy to find the wrapping with the right size head to fit the bottle, so it was very special when it was found and kept for the following year.
A few times I have done this also, so this year it was time to repeat this tradition. So here is my take on the Special Christmas Gift that my mother made.
Here I have used Red Velvet Paper & Real Red Cardstock to make a box to hold the bottle of wine. He has his belt and shinny buckle made from Basic Black cardstock and Gold Metallic Specialty Paper.
Below I have added a video showing how I created this box to fit the bottle. By taking a few simple measurements you can customise this box to fit any size bottle. CLICK the image below to view the video
