Today we rolled the dice….Brights, Standard card, Masking, Pearls, Sentiment- For You.
Using the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds Bundle I created this water colour group of roses. The grouping was created by masking off one flower when stamping the next. In the video below I show how this is done starting with the rose in the foreground and working to the background.
The colours from the Brights collection are Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Mango Melody.
The sentiment was from the Color and Contour Stamps was stamped in Versa Mark onto Basic Black Card Stock and heat embossed with white Embossing Powder.
Measurements Used…
Card Base Basic Black: 10.5 x 29.9cm, score at 14.9cm
Mat Poppy Parade: 10 x 14.4cm
Front Panel Shimmery White: 9.7 x 14.1cm
Insert Basic White: 10 x 14.4cm

The Happiness Abounds Bundle includes the dies, there are 8 dies that match all of the images i the stamps. Then 3 extra dies, one that cuts and embosses a background image and 2 others that cut 2 different edges to look like pages from a spiral bound book.
The colours in the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper are stunning, they are bright and vibrant.

A couple of the pages have small floral prints others are a dry brush look of colour. Both sides of the papers are variegated in colour which gives you a of colours to choose from…It’s hard to explain you just have to see for your self.

The Flowering Tulips Stamps are a two step stamp and the colours I used for the tulips here are Highland Heather, Calypso Coral and Mango Melody. I stamped the finer detail stamp using full strength ink and used the 2nd stamp with ink that I had stamped off before stamping on my project- 2 step second Generation stamping.
The dies that are included in this bundle allows you to die cut 3 dimension tulip flowers, though I did not use them here. I did use the leaf dies to cut out the leaves I had stamped. There is also another die that cuts out groups of little squares. I have used these to add texture to the panel under my tulips also to the card insert. It also allows for the lovely DSP to show through. Before die cutting the squares I did stamp the stems and a few leaves in Old Olive and Evening Evergreen ink.
Other Dies used in the card is the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut the panel on the front and the sentiment was die cut using the Layering Circles.
This was a fun bundle to use and has a great variety for sentiments in different formats to suite all needs.

In response to the ongoing crisis, we decided we wanted to create a Ukraine Fundraising Card Making Tutorial Bundle.
Who Are we?
The Creativity Abounds Design Team is a group of 13 Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world. We come together every month to create a Tutorial Bundle, hold a blog hop and also host regular online Stamp Camps.
All 13 members of the Creativity Abounds Design Team quickly expressed their interest in helping to bring together this special, additional Tutorial Bundle. As this newsletter is sent, work is underway around the world to get cards designed and tutorials written and compiled.
We didn’t want to wait to start raising money though, because this is timely, and help is needed now. Therefore, the bundle is up for sale now. You can start to order and pay for yours and the tutorial will follow as quickly as we can bring it together. We envision it will be with you by the week beginning 21st March!
The theme for the projects is blue/yellow. I am excited to see what ideas everyone comes up with. I know they are all going to inspire you in your card making – and of course you will be able to change the colour of the projects to suit other occasions.
All the proceeds from the sale of these tutorials will be donated to the International Committee of the Red Cross as a contribution from the crafting community to the work they are carrying out with the people of Ukraine.
Stampin’ Up’s Statement of the Heart reads:
To LOVE what we do and SHARE what we love.
As we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments
In this we MAKE A Difference.
The Creativity Abounds Design Team hope that in sharing what we love with you, together we might make a small difference.

The flowers were coloured using Stampin’ Up! Blends Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Mint Macron, Just Jade, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Bally Blue, Smoky Slate and Basic Black. The flower spray was then die cut and layered on top of the Vellum leaf. The Vellum Leaf was die cut from a die from the Meadow Dies.
