Dandy Garden Suite – Dragonfly Garden

Published on March 1, 2021February 2, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

The card I have to share with you today is made using products from the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden Suite. For this card I used the Dragonfly Garden Stamps, Dandy Laser-cut Paper and the Dandy Garden 6 x6″ Designer series Paper. All these products you will find on page 25 of the Jan-Jun Mini Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!

This is a simple card to make as the laser-cut paper does all the work for you. The dragonflies are so dainty and they look just like they were fluttering across your page. The sheet of vellum used as an overlay gives the impression that the dragonflies are in the back ground and allows the dragonfly on the sentiment to stand out with out hiding the others.

Pretty Perennials – Easter Boxes

Published on February 26, 2021February 26, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Today on my Facebook Live I showed how I made these boxes using the Pretty Perennials Bundle and the Love You Always Treat Boxes. I was a bit thrown as I have been doing my lives recently using Webcams and today they decided to not work…so back to using my Phone as the camera but then I didn’t have all my measurements in front of me….this video has got a few Corrections…LOL

The flowers were all cut from the Rainbow Glimmer Paper in the Annual Catalogue…they came up a treat..What do you think?

I will be filling these boxes with Easter Eggs for the girls next door…I’m sure they will love them.

There is only 2 days left to receive FREE product from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. If you join my Team in the next 2 days you will not only get $235 worth of Product for $169 but you will also get the 5 packs of Designer Series Paper for FREE ($100 Value)

Welcome to Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world 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.

Dandy Garden Suite

This month our Creativity Abounds is featuring the Dandy Gardens Suite from the Stampin’ Up! 2021 Jan-Jun Mini. For my card I have used the stamps from both of the stamp sets – Garden Wishes and the Dragon Fly Garden.

All the stamped images were stamped in Blackberry Bliss and coloured using the Stampin’ Blends. Because the Stampin’ Pads are water based inks you can use them instead of the Memento Tuxedo Black and they won’t bleed.

The Blends colours used are –

Mossy Meadow -Light & Dark
So Saffron -Light
Daffodil Delight -Dark
Mango Melody -Light
Calypso Coral -Light & Dark

I used the NEW Stampin’ Up! Blending Brushes to blend Smoky Slate and Blackberry Bliss ink around the edges of the Whisper White cardstock and on the sentiment piece as well.

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

Enjoy the Moment

Published on February 14, 2021February 14, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

My card today uses the Stampin’ Up! ® Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set from the 2021 Jan-Jun Mini Catalogue. This is not a stamp set I would have picked myself but as a demonstrator Stampin’ Up! ® gave us this set at our last On Stage Event (for Demo’s – one of the great perks you get when you Join.)

I wanted these card to have a rustic earthy feel, so for one card I used green tones and the other yellows.

These cards were made on my Facebook Live on Friday and can now be found on my YouTube Channel. The video is posted below for you. Please like my YouTube Channel to follow me and to help with my Subscription numbers so I can go live on YouTube in the future.

For my February customer ‘Thank You’ Cards I have used products from the Hydrangea Hill Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®. The products I have used are the Hydrangea Haven Bundle and the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper.

How I made this card…..

Product & Measurements

Card Base, Seaside Spray – 10.5 x 29.8cm, score at 14.9cm
Mat, Basic White – 10 x 14.4cm
Card Front, Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper (DSP)- 9.7 x 14.1cm
Label, Basic White – 8 x 14.9cm

Tag, Seaside Spray scrap – 5 x 5cm
Band – Seaside Spray – 2 x 10.5cm
Card Insert, Basic White – 10 x14.4cm

Instructions

Cut and score all cardstock and DSP
Adhere the DSP to the Mat – Basic White Cardstock using either Seal or Multi-purpose glue
Attach the mat to the Card front using either Seal or Multi-purpose glue
Run the Seaside Spray Band though the Embossing Machine with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhere to the card front. The bottom edge of the band is about 7cm from the top of the card base. It is NOT centered, but off center. (hope this makes sense)
Hydrangea Haven stamp set is a 2 step Stamp.
Label (Basic White)- stamp the Hydrangea outline onto the basic White using the Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Pad.
Using the Rococo Rose Ink Pad stamp the flower head and Old Olive for the Leaves/stems.
Using the Label die from the Painted Labels, die cut the image.

Tag, Basic White cardstock – stamp some of the small flowers and leaves from the stamp set using Seaside Spray & Old Olive Stampin’ Pads, keeping them close together. With Memento Tuxedo Black ink stamp the small Thank You Sentiment over the top of the flowers and leaves. Die cut the tag die from the stamped image and cut a second tag from the Seaside Spray Cardstock. Place the stamped tag on top of the Seaside Spray tag matching the holes and glue together using a small amount of glue.
Wrap some White twin from the Snail Mail Combo Pack around the label 3 times tie of into a bow. Using a Glue dot add the tags under the bow.
Add dimensionals to the back of the label..do not put them to close to the edge as we will be slipping the leaves underneath. Attach the label to the card front towards the left hand side of the card.
Die cut 2-3 leaves from the Old Olive Cardstock, separate the leaves from the stems.
Place a little bit of Multi-purpose glue to the stem end of the leaves and tuck them under the label. the other end is not glued down so they have a little bit of lift.
Place a pearl onto the Basic White Tag and anoth2 small pearls onto the label.
Adhere the card insert to the inside of the card.

Well Suited – Happy Birthday

Published on February 7, 2021February 4, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Today’s card is a simple Black, White and Gold card for you… I made this card using Handsomely Suited Stamp set from the Well Suited Suite and the Gilded Leafing Embellishment by Stampin’ Up!. This was my first play with it, keeping it really simple until i work it all out. What do you think?

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the images using VersaMark. I placed the Bow Tie and the sentiment onto the Stamparatus and stamped, then moved the hinged plates down two spaces and stamped again.

Sprinkle the Heat & Stick Powder over the top, removed the excess and heat with the Heat Gun. Working quickly I dipped the card front into the Gilded Leafing and gentle pushed down. Working lightly with a piece of sponge gently brush off the excess Gilding Leaf. In areas that didn’t take with the Gilding I heated up with the Heat Gun again.

Two things to be careful of…

The Gilding Leaf comes in a jar, purchase a large plastic box to pour it into. You will need a box about the size of a card front or bigger and next time I may only empty half the jar not all of it…a little bit of this stuff goes a long way and there’s more in that jar than you think.
I found the sponge a little harsh, I’m going to get myself a Stippling brush and try. I found the Sponge was a little too harsh..you need to pounce the Gilding on. So it needs to be firm but then soft enough to bush away the excess Gilding.

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

Berry Blessings Stamps & Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper

Published on February 5, 2021February 3, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

There is only a few weeks left of Sale-A-Bration…so be sure you don’t miss out!

The card I have made today is using the Berry Blessings Bundle and is found on page 14-15 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!. The stamp set – Berry Blessings has 13 Photopolymer stamps and is a two step stamp. Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper has 12 sheets of 12 x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5cm) paper, 2 of each of the 6 double sided designs.

You can earn this Level Two bundle when you spend $180.

Berry Blessings Stamps & Berry Delight Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up!

This bundle co-ordinates with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle found in the Stampin’ Up! 2021 Jan- Jun Mini Catalogue on page 44.

The colours in these Designer Series papers are very bright and fresh. To soften the DSP I added a layer of Vellum, this allowed the print of the berry to stand out from the plaid behind. The Berry DSP was die cut using one of the dies from the Ornate Layers. The stamped images were stamped onto one of the circles from the Stitched Shapes Dies.
