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

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…

	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 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
Branch & Bow	Shaded Spruce Poppy Parade	Scraps
Stocking	DSP	Cut x 2 (1 x front & 1 x Inside)
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.

A Little Bit Festive Tee-Pee Card

Published on August 17, 2024August 17, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

This is a really great fun fold to use at Christmas, as the Tee Pee or Pyramid Card has the look of a Christmas Tree.

The A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper will be available to order in September when the 2024 Mini Sept – Jan Mini Catalogue is released. This paper pack is made of of 3 double sided Designer Series Papers and 3 sheets of Die Cuts.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Basic White	4¼ x 4¼”, x 3	10.5 x 10.5cm, x 3
	DSP	4 x 4”, x 2	10.2 x 10.2cm, x 2
	DSP	1½ x 1½”, x 2	4 x 4, x 2
Approx. 7cm circle Die Cut	Basic White	3¼ x 3¼”	8 x 8cm

I made this card a few years ago – Christmas Gleaming Tee Pee Card.

Points to Remember

Check you DSP is going to look OK at an angel or what ever direction its in.
When making this card you need to make sure the embellishment don’t hang over too much at the sides so as it can fit into the envelope when folded in half.
Decorating – make sure you have the card front (one of 2 sides), triangle with the two points forming the baseline.
Measure up 2cm from where DSP meets in each direction. Cut a line across between the 2cm points.
Tuck point from other side into slit to hold card together. See image below

Frames and Flowers Scrapbook Page

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

Here I have created a scrapbook page using photos from when my sister was visiting from UK.

The Frames and Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®. You can find this product on page 29 i the 2024 -25 Annual Catalogue. ( 6 sheets of pattern paper: 1 each of 3 double-sided designs and 1 each of 3 single-sided die cut designs.

I used the Mediterranean Blooms Stamp set to add texture to the Lost Lagoon cardstock.

The use of the die cuts made creating this layout very simple to decorate.

Journalling

The journalling I created using Publisher and a word box to fit in the area I wanted to fill. I used ‘Bullet Journalling’, where I used points such as when, where and who.
