Boho Vibes

Published on June 7, 2025June 7, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using the Boho Vibes Collection Suite by Stampin’ Up! ®.

This is the first time I have had a chance to play with this suite of products. The dies are fun and playful looking and would work well in cards for both young and older friends and family.

For this card I have used the 2025-2027 In-Colors Cardstock, Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.

I die cut all the arches in each of the In-Colors so I could play with combinations. The one thing I would do next time is add Adheisive Sheets to the back of each colour as they are a little fiddly to add glue too.

Below you will find the YouTube Video to watch., hope you enjoy. If you do please subscribe to my Chanel.

Tired Hexagon Pop-Up Card

Published on May 10, 2025May 10, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this fun fold card- Tired Hexagon Pop-Up Card. Last week I also show cased this fun fold for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop, this time time I wanted to recreate my card showing how I made it and a few little tips I learnt in making both cards.

For today’s card I used the Heirloom Arrangements Kit by Stampin’ Up! ® to decorate my card.

This card I found on Youtube – Sam Calcott UK- Mixed Up Craft. The card Messurements she used were for a finished card size of 5 x 7 “.

I have converted these measurements for a card size of 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 ¼ x 5 ½”). This means that this card will fit in our standard envelope.

Tired Hexagon pop-Up Card Download

This card is a lot of fun and elements you add brings it alive.

My biggest tip is…..Plan out what elements you want to add, remember less is more. The first one I put everything into it, maybe over filled it. Yesterdays card is paired back a lot, start from the back and build forward, allow room to see the layers behind.

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop- May

Published on May 4, 2025May 3, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® 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 Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is using the New ‘2025-2027 In-Color Challenge’ by Cheryl Hurst. I have also chosen to use a new Online Exclusives suite called Floral Impressions Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up!®. Both the 2025-2027 In-Colors and the Floral Impressions Suite Collection will be available to order from the 6th May… not long now until you can order.

Impressions Abloom

This Fun Fold Card is called ‘Tired Hexagon Pop Up Card, I saw this card one day flicking through my Facebook page. I researched the card and found a tutorial by Sam Calcott and just had to give it a go. I did adjust my measurements to suit the correct size for the C6 Envelopes.

It’s like a box of flowers you don’t need to water….

How to make this card…

The Card Base was created with Cloud Cover Cardstock and the inside panels embossed with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. Each layer has a piece of Window Sheet to attach the diecuts.

The Dies from the Impressions Abloom Bundle works really well for this card. The flowers were all die cut in Basic White cardstock and was then coloured with Darling Duckling, Srawberry Slush and Timid Tiger Ink Pads with a blending brush.

The Flower Centers and leaves were all die cut from Secret Sea Cardstock….TIP: be very gentle separating the dies and Cardstock. The Leaf dies leave fine cut lines in the leaves which can easily ripe, if not careful.

The sentiment is also from a new Stamp Set – The Right Words, this set are pairings of sentiments for the front of cards as well as the card inserts.

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

2025-26 Blends Colour Chart

Published on April 28, 2025April 28, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

Are you wanting to keep track of all the currents Blends you have in your collection?

I have created a NEW Stampin’ Up!® Blend Colour Chart, so you can keep a track of all the colours you have or need from the 2025-26 Annual Catalogue.

I find this so helpful…as I receive my Stampin’ Blends I colour in the corresponding boxes…that way I can quickly see what I have and what I still need to order.

I love having all my colours in ‘Rainbow Order’, so I have used the Color Wheel from the 2025-26 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue to list all the colours. And I must say…they look AMAZING!

Below you will find my Printable PDF Down Load, I recommend you print it onto Stampin’ Up!® Basic White Cardstock for best results.

I have had this suite of products sitting on my desk for about a month…I’ve made scrapbook pages, but I hadn’t inked up the stamps until now. It was so good to get out my blends again and do some colouring with them.
