Greenery Lane

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escapeโ€”I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

On yesterdayโ€™s Live with Michele, I created this beautiful card using the Greenery Lane Bundle and Greenery Lane Washi Tape by Stampinโ€™ Up!ยฎ.

Greenery Lane Bundle & Washi Tape

The Greenery Lane Bundle is wonderfully versatile. You can stamp and die-cut the images, and the dies also coordinate with the Greenery Lane Washi Tape, allowing you to cut out the designs and use them on your projects with ease.

The washi tape can be adhered to cardstock, vellum, or window sheet, depending on the look youโ€™d like to achieve. For this card, I chose vellum to create a soft, light, and sheer effect that adds a delicate touch to the finished design.

Stampin’ Positioner

While designing this card, I wanted to demonstrate just how versatile the Stampinโ€™ Positioner can be. Because the plate is such a generous size, it makes stamping multiple images at once in the same ink colour both quick and easy.

The smaller plate was perfect for positioning and stamping my greeting neatly over the top, ensuring a clean and precise finish.

If you donโ€™t yet have a Stampinโ€™ Positioner, you can achieve a similar look by arranging your stamps on a large acrylic block and stamping them all at once.

Simply Beautiful- Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampinโ€™ Up!ยฎ Demonstrators 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. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.

Our theme this month for the Letโ€™s Craft Together Blog Hop is a โ€˜Red Challengeโ€™, chosen by Sharni.

The challenge is simple but effective โ€” create a card using shades of red. You may also include neutral colours such as black, white, gold or silver, but no other colours are allowed.

Itโ€™s always fun to see how different everyoneโ€™s projects can look while working within the same colour restrictions, and red is such a strong, bold choice for card making!

Simply Beautiful

The Simply Beautiful Bundle is part of the Lovely & Beautiful Suite Collection, and the Simply Beautiful flowers, with their large open petals, are perfect for colouring. The technique Iโ€™m using for todayโ€™s card is watercolouring, which really allows the details of the flowers to shine.

How I watercolour!

I love to play with inks, and watercolouring is so much fun. For this card, I stamped my image onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper using StazOn Ink. StazOn is a permanent ink and wonโ€™t bleed when it comes into contact with water.

Working with one or two petals at a time, I first coloured each petal with water, then added small amounts of ink to the inner portion of the petal. The ink naturally wicks out, following the flow of the water and becoming lighter towards the edges of the petal.

Once I had worked my way around the flower, I went back and added more water and ink to areas I wanted darker, gradually building up the colour. Donโ€™t try to colour the entire flower all at once โ€” itโ€™s much easier to achieve depth by working petal by petal and allowing it to dry slightly between layers.

Itโ€™s perfectly okay to leave some white or lighter areas, as this adds movement and brings life to your flower.

The leaves were stamped onto Vellum using VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder from the Basics WOW Embossing Powders

To add texture to the Basic Black Cardstock behind the flower, I used the stunning Damask Designs Embossing Folder.

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

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

Creative Haven, Blends & Alcohol

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escapeโ€”I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

Alcohol Ink Backgrounds on Vellum with Stampinโ€™ Blends

If you love experimenting with colour and texture, todayโ€™s technique is one youโ€™ll definitely want to try. Using Stampinโ€™ Blends, pure alcohol, and vellum, you can create beautifully soft, wispy backgrounds that are completely unique every single time.

This is a play-based technique โ€” thereโ€™s no right or wrong, and thatโ€™s what makes it so much fun. No two pieces will ever look the same, and even the so-called โ€œmistakesโ€ often turn into your favourite results.


Why Vellum Works So Well

Vellum is non-porous, which means it doesnโ€™t absorb liquid the same way cardstock does. When you add alcohol and alcohol-based ink to vellum, the colour sits on the surface and moves around beautifully, allowing you to manipulate it until youโ€™re happy with the effect.

Colour Tips (Very Important!)

  • Stick to 2โ€“3 colours maximum to avoid muddy results
  • Choose colours that naturally blend well together
  • Always start with your lightest colour first

Creating the Alcohol Ink Background

  1. Place your vellum on a non-porous surface (glass, silicone mat, or craft mat).
  2. Apply Stampinโ€™ Blends directly to the vellum โ€” dots, stripes, or loose areas all work.
  3. Add alcohol around the edges and gently move the vellum to encourage the ink to flow.
  4. Continue adding alcohol sparingly until the colours begin to blend.
  5. Or use the air pump:
    • Close to the surface for strong lines and texture
    • Further away for a softer, wispy effect
  6. Allow to air dry, or gently speed things up with a heat tool on low.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: If you donโ€™t like how it looks, just add more alcohol and keep playing.


Different Effects You Can Try

  • Pump close: Bold lines and dramatic texture
  • Pump further away: Light, feathery movement
  • Tilt & Air-dried: Soft edges and gentle blending, moving the vellum around letting the alcohol move and blend
  • Layered colour: Dry one colour before adding the next for defined sections

Stamping & Embossing on Vellum

Stamping

Because vellum is non-porous, ink choice matters:

  • Memento Ink: Not suitable on vellum โ€” it smudges
  • StazOn Ink: Works well for stamping on vellum, but not with alcohol as it will bleed, to get away with this stamp on the reverse side of the Vellum. Down side is the Alcohol ink will not be as vibrant.

Embossing -Powder & Heat

  1. Colour the vellum with alcohol
  2. Stamp on the front using VersaMark
  3. Heat emboss with embossing powder
  4. Heat tools can cause vellum to ripple. Work slowly and alternate heat from the front and back.

.

Donโ€™t Throw Your Leftovers Away!

  • Die cut leaves, flowers, or shapes
  • Use scraps for layered backgrounds
  • Create multiple projects from one large sheet

Detailed dies look especially beautiful on alcohol inked vellum.


Final Thoughts

This technique is all about playing. Try different colour combinations, drying methods, and tools. Flip your vellum, stamp on the reverse, die cut your experiments, and most of all โ€” have fun.

If you give this a go, Iโ€™d love to see what you create. Share your projects or tag me so I can admire your beautiful work!

Happy crafting,
Michelle

Lovely Blossoms Card & Stampin’ Repositioner

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escapeโ€”I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

On Fridayโ€™s Live with Michele, I played with the Lovely Blossoms Suite Collection and had a good play with the NEW Stampinโ€™ Positioner by Stampinโ€™ Up!ยฎ.

Tri-Fold card using the lovely Blossoms Suite Collection

This is such a fun, simple card to make, and the Positioner makes stamping so easy. I showed how I stamped the sentiment down the side (still practising that spacing ๐Ÿ˜…) and how effortlessly you can get great ink coverage when stamping the leaves.

My favourite tip came from my gorgeous friend Heather โ€“ The Songbird Stamper, who shared a brilliant way to use the small alignment plate to stamp on already die-cut banners. If you like to cut first and stamp later, this is a total game changer!

Fabulous Sayings – Product of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog! Today Iโ€™m excited to be taking part in the Product of the Month Blog Hop.

Iโ€™m joining some truly talented Stampinโ€™ Up!ยฎ Demonstrators from around the world. Weโ€™re so happy you could join us and hope youโ€™ll find plenty of inspiration to create something of your own.

If you love discovering exclusive Stampinโ€™ Up! products, then Product of the Month is for you. Each month features a brand-new, limited-release item that isnโ€™t found in any catalogue or Online Exclusives. They really are something special and a lot of fun to create with.

Each product is available once per account and while stocks last, so itโ€™s very much a โ€œget it while you canโ€ release.

January’s Product of the Month is Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set

I hope you enjoy seeing how Iโ€™ve used this monthโ€™s product and that it inspires you to try something new in your own crafting.

Fabulous Sayings & Cute as a Bug

This is a WOW sentiment set that truly covers most events. From Happy Birthday and Thank You to a simple Hello, it features two coordinating fonts that can be used together for impact or separately for a clean, simple look.

For this card, I stamped the โ€œHappy Birthdayโ€ sentiment diagonally across the card front, starting on the third row down and using the complete sentiment without breaking it up with any other elements. I then filled in the top and bottom sections, staggering the โ€œHappy Birthdayโ€ sentiment across the card.

As the sentiment is quite large and the font is a casual script, I simply stamped it across the card, lining everything up by eye.

To give the card a casual feel, I wrapped the gorgeous Poppy Parade Plaid from the Cute as a Bug Suite Collection around the matted card front to the back and wrapped some Bakerโ€™s Twine and finished it with a double bow. A simple stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies in Basic White was softly coloured with a Blending Brush and Old Olive ink. I then added a die-cut images and fussy cut image from the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper to finish off this clean and simple card.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I hope youโ€™ve enjoyed my projects and that theyโ€™ve inspired you to get crafty.

You may be starting here or have come from another blogโ€”either way, thereโ€™s a list below to help you hop through all the blogs and discover lots of amazing ideas.

Cute as a Bug

Welcome to my blog โ€” Iโ€™m so glad youโ€™re here ๐Ÿ’š
Today Iโ€™m sharing a fun and whimsical card project created using the Cute as a Bug Suite from Stampin’ Up! ยฎ.

This suite is full of charm and personality, and while it may look playful at first glance, itโ€™s incredibly versatile. With a few simple design choices, it works just as beautifully for adult cards as it does for childrenโ€™s projects.

For this card, I focused on:

  • Layered die-cut mushrooms
  • Soft ink blending for depth
  • A balanced layout with gentle dimension

I didnโ€™t go into this project with a fixed plan โ€” I let the elements guide the design as I went, which made the creative process even more enjoyable. Sometimes those are the projects that turn out to be the most fun!

To make it easy for you to recreate this card, Iโ€™ve also put together a FREE printable PDF tutorial with measurements, product Links, and step-by-step instructions.

๐ŸŽ Youโ€™ll find the free printable further down in this post, so be sure to grab it before you go.

I hope this project inspires you to pull out your supplies, have a play, and enjoy the creative process โ€” whether you follow the design exactly or make it your own.

Free Printable Tutorial

This printable tutorial walks you through creating a whimsical Cut as a Bug card featuring the Cute as a Bug Suite. With layered die cuts, soft ink blending, and simple dimension, this project is suitable for all skill levels and works beautifully for both childrenโ€™s and adult cards.

Feel free to print it out or save it to your device for future inspiration.

Covered in Flowers – Stampin’ Blends Background

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escapeโ€”I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

On yesterdayโ€™s Live with Michele, I created this card using the Covered in Flowers Accents by Stampinโ€™ Up!ยฎ. These stunning accents are perfect for enhancing both cards and scrapbook layouts. They can be left in their beautiful off-white colour, or coloured to suit your project using Blending Brushes, sponge daubers, or Blending Pens.

Stampin’ Blends Background

For this card, I created an alcohol-blended background and kept the accents white so they really stand out and contrast against the colourful backdrop.

When I create this style of background, I like to have control and treat it as a piece of art. Alcohol allows you to do exactly that. If thereโ€™s an area youโ€™re not happy with, you can go back in later (even hours later) and adjust it by adding more alcohol. Just be mindfulโ€”adding more alcohol will cause the colours to move and blend further, depending on how much you apply.

Tips & Tricks

  • Alcohol
    Only use 90% alcohol or higher, such as Diggers alcohol, available from Big W or Bunnings.
  • Surfaces
    Use non-porous surfaces only, such as Vellum or Window Sheet.
  • Colours
    • Limit the number of colours you use any more than three could create a muddy colour.
    • Use colours that will blend, I have used Complementary in Azure Afternoon and Old Olive plus Lemon Lime Twist (also a Complementary)
  • Tools
    • Paintbrush or fine-nib bottle
      Used to transfer and apply the alcohol.
    • Stylus (optional)
      Great for creating small dots or gently moving alcohol in detailed areas.
    • Straw or Alcohol Ink Blower
      Helps control and move the ink around.
      • The more you blow the ink, the more it spreads and creates different shades.
      • Be careful not to inhale fumes when using a straw.
      • An alcohol ink blower gives more control and doesnโ€™t spread the ink as much.
  • Stamping on Alcohol Ink
    If stamping onto a completed alcohol ink surface, ONLY use Memento Ink.
  • Safety
    Always work in a well-ventilated area.

Swing Fun Fold Card with Kintsugi Inspirations Suite

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escapeโ€”I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

On yesterdayโ€™s โ€˜Live with Micheleโ€™ I created this card using the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Collection by Stampinโ€™ Up! ยฎ.

This was a fun card to make and a very effective fun fold that works beautifully with the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite. On this card, I cut a rectangle from the card front, but you could easily swap this for any other shape that suits your chosen products. Just be sure that any embellishments stay within the cut shape, as overhanging elements can interfere with the cardโ€™s swing.

Gears & Textures- Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

We are a group of Australian Stampinโ€™ Up!ยฎ Demonstrators who have come together to share our creative ideas with you. Weโ€™re so happy you could join us and hope you feel inspired to create something of your own.

Each month, weโ€™ll be showcasing a variety of projects and ideas based on different products, themes, and creative challenges. We hope you enjoy hopping along and gathering plenty of inspiration along the way.

The first challenge for this yearโ€™s Letโ€™s Craft Together Blog Hop is a Monochromatic Colour Challenge, created by Julia Quinn. A monochromatic colour challenge means working with just one main colour. Creating interest by using different shades, tones, and textures of that colour. Itโ€™s a wonderful way to explore depth and detail while keeping a clean, cohesive look.

Gears & Textures

I chose brown as my main colour and worked with Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, and Crumb Cake in both inks and cardstocks to create a rich, steampunk-inspired design. Using a monochromatic palette allowed the variation in tones to add interest while keeping the overall look cohesive.

To enhance the layered, industrial feel of the card, I incorporated torn cardstock, allowing areas of stamping and die-cut elements to show through beneath the surface. The Gears & Textures Bundle from the Mini Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!ยฎ was the perfect addition for this style, with its detailed imagery adding to the aged, mechanical look of the design. Additional depth and dimension were created through layered stamping, intricate die-cut elements, and multiple layers of embossing powder in gold, copper, and clear, bringing subtle shine and metallic highlights to the card.

This project was a wonderful way to explore the monochromatic colour challenge, showing how a single colour family can still create depth, texture, and visual interest.

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read my blog. I hope youโ€™ve enjoyed my projects and feel inspired to get crafty!

Whether youโ€™re starting here or hopping over from another blog, be sure to follow the list below and continue the Letโ€™s Craft Together Blog Hop. Each stop is packed with creative inspiration, ideas, and fresh takes on this monthโ€™s challengeโ€”you wonโ€™t want to miss a thing!

True Blue Florals Scrapbook Layout -Product of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog! Today Iโ€™m excited to be taking part in the Product of the Month Blog Hop.

Iโ€™m joining some truly talented Stampinโ€™ Up!ยฎ Demonstrators from around the world. Weโ€™re so happy you could join us and hope youโ€™ll find plenty of inspiration to create something of your own.

If you love discovering exclusive Stampinโ€™ Up! products, then Product of the Month is for you. Each month features a brand-new, limited-release item that isnโ€™t found in any catalogue or Online Exclusives. They really are something special and a lot of fun to create with.

Each product is available once per account and while stocks last, so itโ€™s very much a โ€œget it while you canโ€ release.

Decemberโ€™s Product of the Month is True Blue Florals.

I hope you enjoy seeing how Iโ€™ve used this monthโ€™s product and that it inspires you to try something new in your own crafting.

True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper

โ€œFamily scrapbook page using True Blue Florals Designer Series Paperโ€

These photos have been sitting on my desk for about 12 months, waiting for the right products to come along. These pages are all about familyโ€”my Grandfather with his sister and his son (my Dad). The other page, taken at the same time, is about four generations, always connected by love.

The True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper was the perfect choice. It picks up the blues in Aunt Enidโ€™s skirt and scarf, as well as in my topโ€ฆ and, of course, blue is my favourite colour. The designs feel very traditional, but with a slight modern twist thanks to the fine-line floral details.

I chose to fussy cut the flowersโ€”good thing I donโ€™t mind fussy cutting!

โ€œFamily scrapbook page using True Blue Florals Designer Series Paperโ€

What I used…

I pulled in a mix of products from my stashโ€”some that are already available and others that are coming in the New Year.

The title and the sprig die (cut here in Night of Navy) are a little sneak peek from the Beautifully Celebrated Bundle, which will be available in the Januaryโ€“April Mini Catalogue.

The flower and leaf dies used to fill in behind and around the main flowers were cut in Willow White and Balmy Blue. These are from the Charming Day Bundle, currently found in the Last Chance Products.

To finish off the layout, I added Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots, placing them in clusters of three around the flowers for a soft touch of sparkle.

โ€œFamily scrapbook page using True Blue Florals Designer Series Paperโ€

This layout was created using Stampinโ€™ Up!โ€™s True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper, Decemberโ€™s Product of the Month, combined with favourites from my stash and a sneak peek from the upcoming Januaryโ€“April Mini Catalogue. Itโ€™s the perfect example of how exclusive, limited-release products can bring meaningful family memories to life.
