Chain Card Swap Blog Hop – Cheryl

Published on March 29, 2024March 22, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

Back in October 2023 I joined a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators to take part in a ‘Card swap with a Twist – Chain card Swap.

How does this work?

The swap is similar to an old fashioned chain letter or I would say…”Chinese Whispers with Cards’

We were given a list of names – 11 in total (not including myself)
Create a simple card
Send to first person on the list
Wait to receive a card from someone…
‘CASE’ that card and send it to the 2nd person on your list
Repeat until all people on the list has received a card

Now this is the fun part….When you CASE the card you received, it’s your interpretation of the received card. Just like ‘Chinese Whispers’ you may not end up with what you originally designed

Round 2 – Circle Sayings

The design elements I used from the card I received were

The strips of Designer Series Paper on the card Base
3 punched elements

Using the White Center 12 x 12 Specialty Paper, I tore strips showing the white core of the paper to add texture and maybe a hint of the ocean. These were then adhered to a Night of Navy Card Base.

I then punched 2 circles using the 2 3/4″ Punch that comes with the Circle Sayings Bundle in Azure Afternoon and Daffodil Delight Cardstock.

On a piece of Basic White Cardstock I stamped the ocean image from the Circle Sayings stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black. Using Blends this was then coloured – Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly, Azure Afternoon & Night of Navy.

Along the edges of the breaking waves I added a little white with the White Watercolour Pencils. This was then punched out with the 2 3/4″ Punch. A twist of White Bakers Twine under the stamped circle and a few Tinsel Gems added to finish the card.

Were to Start…Start this hop at Cheryl so you get the progression

Follow the Hop around and see how these creations changed from start to finish…you might be surprised to see how these cards finished up!

Round 4 – Meandering Meadows

This card makes my heart sing….I love the way it turned out. I used Meandering Meadows Suite for this card, which you will find in the Online Exclusives.

For my card I changed the orientation of the card, from a landscape to a portrait. The back ground I stamped the small images with Fresh Freesia Ink onto Fresh Freesia cardstock.

A strip of Lemon Lolly cardstock adds a little extra colour next to the Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper.

A White Vellum circle was cut using the Deckled Circle Dies. The flower images were stamped using Basic Gray Ink and coloured with Blends…Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Shaded Spruce, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Blueberry Bushel, Misty Moonlight and Daffodil Delight.

The sentiment was stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink.

Round 10- Flowering Zinnias

I created this card CASING the card sent to me, using the Flowering Zinnias as my focal point.

With this card I am just letting the paper be the hero…it’s bold, beautiful and bright. I just love how alive it makes me feel.

The Flowering Zinnias 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper will bring that pop of colour to any paper craft! You can easily make card backgrounds from the greenery designs or fussy cut around one of the bright and beautiful zinnias. With flowers, stars, foliage, stripes, and more all bursting in beautifully bright tones, this paper will add vibrancy to all your cards, gift tags, paper banners, and other paper creations.

The Flowering Zinnias can be found in Online Exclusives on my Stampin’ Up! ® Online Store

Nelson Falls

Published on March 11, 2024March 3, 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!

For my page I decided to use the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder, Stippled Roses Dies & Foursquare Decorative Masks from 2023-24 Stampin’ Up!® Annual & Jan- Apr 2024 Mini Catalogues.

How I created my page…

Photo

I only had one photo, 4 x 6″ to use for this lay out so to make it look a little bigger the photo was matted and then a second mat was off set to create a larger solid image.

Layout

I wanted this page to look a bit ‘grunge’… or ‘natural/earthy’.

Using Pebble Path Ink, Foursquare Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes I add ink to two corners of my Crumb Cake 12 x12″ Cardstock. I then went around the edges of the cardstock with both Pebble Path and Mossy Meadow Ink.

With the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder, Crumb Cake & Pecan Pie Cardstock cut the tree rings, one set from each colour. The Crumb Cake rings are cut down with the smaller die. These are then layered to create a two tone Tree Ring.

Die cut branches in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive from the Tree Ring Dies. I also added some Pebble Path die cuts, cut using the Stippled Roses Dies. These dies are lighter and just add some softness to the lay out.

I then added tree rings and branches from under the photo, 3 at the bottom corner and 1 from the top corner.

The title ‘ Nelson Falls’ was created with the Mini Alphabet Dies. This alphabet die is one piece die, Add a sheet of Adhesive Sheet to the back of the cardstock and run through the Cut & Embossing Machine. After taking out the letters required, the extra were put into a cello bag so can be used if required at a latter time.

Journaling

My jounaling for this layout is very simple…usually when you journal, it’s wise to think about when, were and who your photo is about. Or any story that maybe attached to your photo.

‘We arrived at Nelson Falls late in the afternoon, so camped along the side of the Lyell Highway. So we could take photos in a better light the following day’

This was a bit scary as the Highway went through the National Park with thick trees either side of the road. Also there was only a small parking area and our camper wasn’t very big. But it was worth it, the photo is amazing. This photo was taken approx. 30 years ago and this is the second time I’m scrapping them….that’s another story for another day.

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

You may be starting here or have come from someone else’s blog – either way there is a list below to help you move around all the different blogs and get many amazing ideas.

Enduring Beauty

Published on February 10, 2024February 10, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

On my Tuesday night ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using Stampin’ Up!® Enduring Beauty Stamp. This stamp is part of a Enduring Beauty Bundle, the bundle includes stamps, dies and masks.

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	Lost Lagoon	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Front Base	Basic White	3 ⅞ x 5 ⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Card Insert Mat	Lost Lagoon	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert	Basic White	3 ⅞ x 5 ⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Sentiment	Berry Burst	½ x 4¼”	1.3 x 10.5cm
Sentiment Mat	Lost Lagoon	⅝ x 4¼”	1.6 x 10.5cm

This is a simple card to create, masking an area off area approx 6 x 8cm (2¼ x 3½”) using masking paper or ‘Post it Note Paper’. You want the masked area to be smaller than the stamp image, so that it has some ‘black and white’ image. Make sure the outer edge of the card front is covered so ink doesn’t colour the areas you want clean.

Using a Blending Brush, start with Fresh Freesia Ink and brush in a circular motion down 2/3rds of card front. From top down add Berry Burst to the top third of the card. Blending the Berry Burst into the Fresh Freesia. This also hid where I added too much ink in the Fresh Freesia (see Video).

Working from bottom up add Lost Lagoon blending it into the Fresh Freesia. Remove the masking paper.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the Enduring Beauty image over the top.

Instagram Story by Srusht Patil showing Tutorial of Pop Card .

I saw this card on Instagram a couple of weeks ago and decided to give it a try. The card made by Srusht is a large card format so I have reduced the measurements to fit with a standard card. I have made a few changes in using less DSP to suite what I was wanting to create.
