Joy to the World

Published on October 10, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Joy to the World

This is heading into my favorite time of the year…Where we celebrate the Birth of Christ and what JOY that brings of Salvation and Hope.

My card today I have used products from the Peace and Joy Bundle 155167. This card is a slim line card, the finished card measures 10 x 21 cm (cut 20 x21cm, score 10cm). This is a simple card to make with the only stamping on the label.

Here I used a Label die from the Stitched Nested Labels as the base for sentiment to sit on. The sentiment is ‘Joy – to the World’ and for the ‘Joy’ I used all the 3 dies from the Bundle. The beautiful Red Velvet Paper was used for the fine word die and I used the Adhesive Sheets on the back of the Red Velvet and the Whisper White die cut – to make adhering them together a breeze.

TIP – Once you have adhered all the 3 parts of ‘Joy” together place it onto of the Whisper White Label and lightly trace around it. This way you have an idea where you need to stamp. Shown here from another project made using the same Dies. The pencil line then can be rubbed away using a soft eraser.

Products used in this card are…

Peace and Joy Bundle 155167
Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper 153486
Red Velvet Paper Pack 153490
Real Red 3/16″ (4.8 MM) Braided Linen Trim 153546

Monthly Team Blog Hop August 2020 – Flowers for Every Season

Published on August 11, 2020August 10, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world taking part in a training program helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® Business and reach some of our goals. Thank you, we really appreciate your support.

Flowers for Every Season

My card today is very simple and is all about texture and as they would say in ‘Sesame Street’ …

“It’s brought to by the letter B – Bumble Bee”.

If you asked me what my favorite colour is I would tell you BLUE, I still love blue but I’m really liking Bumble Bee at the moment. This card just uses the Whisper White and Bumble Bee looks so clean and fresh.

I have a tendency to work within a suite only adding a few small extras that you wouldn’t notice that belong to another collection. With this card I have pulled elements from different collections and put them together and I love it!

Give it a try, it’s fun once you get your head around it…Group products together from different suites and see what you come up with. I’d love to see what you make.

This is a simple card to CASE and I will list all the products I used below and they will be linked back to my On-Line Store.

Peony Gardens and Blends

Published on August 1, 2020August 1, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

Welcome to another Blog post on this chilly but beautiful Saturday Morning.

Peony Gardens and Blends

Approximately two weeks ago I showed you a card using the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper where I just coloured the back ground of the paper. I was enjoying the relaxation of just colouring in that I did another, this time adding more colours. It has sat on my desk for a few days and last night I finally made it into a card.

The Blends are wonderful for colouring in as they don’t leave that line on your work that markers can leave.

The colours I have used are…

The Measurements I used are…

Card Base, Basic Black – 10.5 x 29.8cm, scored 14.9cm
Mat, DSP – 14.47 x 10cm
Mat, Basic Black – 8 x 12.4cm
Card Front, DSP – 10 x 15cm and trimmed down to 7.7 x 12.1cm

Inside the card I added a sheet of Whisper White Cardstock 10 x 14.4cm, and added a strip of DSP that I had trimmed off.

Here’s a Tip….

They are sometimes a little forgotten but use the Black Combo pack of Dimensionals. I used the mini ones under my sentiment and the larger ones under the Basic Back Mat. Great to have when using darker colours in your cardstock. Always worth while having a pack handy.

Card Sketch Challenge – Birthdays are the Best Days

Published on July 29, 2020July 27, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

This is the last card I made on Saturday using the Card Sketch Challenge

Birthdays are the Best Days

I love Sketch Challenges…the work is already done for you. All you need to do is work out what colours and Designer Series Paper or stamps you want to use.

If I’m stuck for ideas and not sure what to do I will go back to Sketches that I have saved on my computer or on Pinterest and use them for my inspiration. Ideas for cards and Scrapbook pages can come from all sorts of places. The Stampin’ Up! ® Catalogue is a great source of layout ideas.

For my card below I have used products from the Forever Greenery Suite Collection to create my card. I have kept it very simple using the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper as the main feature and used a Gold Hoop Embellishment to highlight the sentiment.

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

Black and White Challenge

Published on July 28, 2020July 26, 2020 by Michele Jutrisa

Good morning, I hope you are keep warm, on this wonderful Winters day.

Thank you for joining me on my blog to day where we will look at another Challenge I did last Saturday.

Black and White Challenge

Use only Black and White…no other colour!

It didn’t have to be a card…it could be anything I want…What would you make?

Painted Poppies

I made a card…Again I kept it simple and used the Painted Poppies Stamps.

For this card I stamped the poppy image with VersaMark onto the Basic Black. The VersaMark was hard to see on the Basic Black so I stamped and heat embossed half the card at a time using the White Embossing Powder.

The Whisper White panel across the middle of the card i cut using one of the rectangle dies from the Ornate Layers Dies. I trimmed the side edges of as it was too long for the width of the card front. The bed of Poppies where stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed using Black Embossing Powder.

To finish the card I wrapped Whisper White Crinkle Ribbon around the Whisper White Cardstock and tied off with a knot, cutting the ends at a angle. A simple way to finish your ribbon instead of tying a bow or if your length of ribbon is too short for a bow.
