Happy Birthday – The Spot Colour Challenge # 119

Published on July 16, 2020July 15, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Who loves a Challenge?……I do!

While checking my Facebook posts I came across this challenge by…

The Spot

So I just had to give it a try, as I love those colours – Magenta Madness, Basic Black, Gold and Pool Party.

Now if you enjoy a challenge here is the link so you can participate as well..‘The Spot’

Happy Birthday

I’m have been doing a bit of #Loveitchopit lately….using up some of my collections of Designer Series Paper. The challenge said I could use Whisper White but “Sparingly”…hope I haven’t used too much. But I love the Gold Flowers on Whisper White base…it’s so clean and fresh. What do you think?

This Designer Series Paper comes from Stampin’ Up! ® Ornate Gardens Suite Collection 154153 and is called Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper 152488. The Magenta Madness cardstock I embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder 152725, a beautiful little floral. I also embossed the Pool Party Cardstock using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder151775.

The ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set 151534 and was stamped using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today…I’m not usually into geometric shapes, but by adding some floral…I’m happy….Hubby loves it….LOL!

Prized Garden

My cards today uses the Stampin’ Up! ® Prized Garden Suite Collection, the ‘WOW’ of this card is the amazing 3D blossom.

I have added an extra layer in my Peony by adding a layer of vellum to each petal. Each layer was sponged lightly with Blushing Bride Stampin’ Pad and shaped with a bone folder. Each petal has that extra shimmer with a touch of Wink of Stella. The ribbon loops were made by cutting 10cm of ribbon, folding them in half and joining with a Mini Glue Dot.

To assemble the Peony

Cut all 5 layers of the Peony – I have numbered each one 1through to 4, not including the stamen.
Starting with the smallest petal, slip petal 1 into the slit of petal 2 – lining up the bottom edges. Add a small amount of glue at the base of each petal.
Slip petals 1&2 into petal 3 – lining up the bottom edges.
Slip petal 1, 2 & 3 into 4
Once the flower has been assembled slip the stamen into place in the 1st petal.

A Sweet Friendship – Forever Greenery Suite

Published on July 12, 2020July 11, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

A Sweet Friendship

I love this card, it is so simple, sweet and clean.

There is something about a white card and with that strip of green leaves on the white background makes it refreshing.

This is a simple card to make and with just a sentiment to stamp. The only colour comes from a strip of Designer Series Paper which is 3.5cm wide, a great way to use up any left overs.

A Gold Hoop Embellishment layered with a Vellum leaf cut using the Forever Flourishing Dies and a Gold leaf from the Forever Gold Laser -cut Specialty Paper.

The whisper White mat has been embossed using the Sutbles 3D Embossing Folder.

The sentiment comes from the Butterfly Wishes Cling Stamps, a sentiment for any occasion.

You will find a Tutorial on my Tutorial Page for this card

Sunflower Shaker Card

Published on July 11, 2020July 9, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

Beautiful bright Sunflowers…I don’t know what it is about Sunflowers but they always seem to bring joy to peoples faces.

Helen Keller said….

My card to day uses the Sunflowers from the Jar of Flowers Bundle. The flowers were stamped in Memento Ink and coloured using Blends. .The stems of the flowers were stamped in Memento Ink and were also stamped off just to mute the colour so the looked like they were in water. The Mason jar was stamped in Pool Party Ink and then using the reverse side (because they are a reversible stamp) I also used Pool Party Ink but stamped off to give a lighter shade

In the Mason Jar Dome I added some of the Flower for Every Season Gems.

Sending Healing Hugs – Forever Greenery

Published on July 10, 2020July 8, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

My love affair with the Forever Greenery Suite continues…

The Scrappy Strip Technique is a great way to great fantastic backgrounds with lots of interest. Here I have created a back ground using this technique with the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.

I kept the strips narrow, approx 12mm, that way I could use nearly all the designs. The strips were adhered to Whisper White Cardstock and also matted onto Whisper White Cardstock.

By placing a layer of vellum on top of the Scrappy Strips it softened the intensity of the colour and allowed the bouquet of fern leaves to stand out. Using the Forever Flourishing Dies leaves were cut from Just Jade, Pretty Peacock and vellum cardstock, also included gold leaves from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper

To a friend that makes me smile – Flowers for all Seasons

Published on July 6, 2020July 5, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

I love it when a card design comes together so well and this card was one of them. This card is a simple Z-Fold card and the ‘Flowers for Every Season’ Designer Series Paper (DSP) made it very quick to put together. Along with the floral I also used one of the Just Jade designs from the 2020-22 In-Colour DSP.

The words on this DSP are the words of Stampin’ Up! ® Statement of the Heart, in English and other languages.

The sentiment and flowers inside the card were stamped in Memento Black and left un-coloured, with just a hint of colour down the edge of the Just Jade DSP. The sentiment was cut our using a circle and scalloped circle from the Layered Circle Dies.

To make the sentiment ‘Pop’ I added a piece of the new In-Colour 1/4 ” Ribbon in Bumble Bee.

You can find a tutorial for this card on my Tutorial Page in the bar above.

Still in My Heart

Published on June 24, 2020June 25, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

At the moment I’m sitting in my workroom, heater is on and it’s lovely and warm. My computer tells me it’s about 10 degrees but I’m sure the real feel is colder than that. Wondering if this winter will bring snow….LOL I hope for snow every winter, it’s been a few years since we had some…fingers crossed.

Still in My Heart

Today’s card is a simple card to make…Stampin’ Up!® have done most of the work for us.

Here I have used the stunning and elegant Forever Gold Die-cut Specialty Designer Series Paper. I have used one of the panels on my card front and anything else you put with it needs only to be simple.

This card is made up of layers. Framing the gold panels is a double mat and the mats are only millimeters different in size. The mats have been lifted of the card base with dimensionals and the sentiment lifted again.

The sentiment and the punch used on the banner comes from the Lovely You Bundle. I love the mix of the 2 font styles…What do you think?

You must have a look at the Lovely Ladels Pick A Punch…It’s 6 punches all rolled into one….There are 2 different styles and each style cuts 3 different sizes…each size being a little different as the tag gets wider.

You can use the just one single or layer them on top of one another…you can make your label as long or as short as you want.

Until the end of June you could sign up with Stampin’ Up! ® and chose the Lovely You Bundle as your Free Bundle.
