IT’S MONDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO HIGHLIGHT SOME NEW STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCTS

As I shared with you yesterday, this week is all about the Perennial Lavender Suite Collection.

This amazing suite collection (162613 – $221.50AUD) comprises the Painted Lavender Stamp Set and Dies Bundle and the Perrenial Postage Stamp Set and Dies Bundle, Paper Butterfly Accents, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems and Perennial Lavender 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

The DSP colours are Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Lost Lagoon, Orchid Oasis, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Starry Sky. The Gems are Berry Burst, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather.

For today’s card, I CASEd a project from page 22 of the January – April 2024 Mini Catalogue. I created a card instead of a decor piece.

The decor piece is on the lefthand side of the image above.

I started with a Shaded Spruce cardbase and added a panel of the checked DSP.

After lots of stamping and die cutting, I assembled the bouquet for the card front. I used a stamp on/stamp off technique for the sprigs of lavender. The stems were stamped onto DSP. I cut the leaves using two of the dies and Shaded Spruce cardstock, Vellum and Lost Lagoon Soft Shimmer 12″ x 12″ paper Combo Pack.

The bouquet was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a single bow using the Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon and a double bow with Linen Thread. They were secured to the front of the card with Mini Dimensionals.

Then I attached two overlapping small Paper Butterflies.

The greeting, from the Love the Moment Stamp Set, was stamped using Lost Lagoon ink and trimmed to fit across the butterflies.

I added a strip of the checked DSP to the card insert and a larger piece to the back of the envelope.

Finally, I used the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card front.

Tomorrow I have some Tips and a Technique to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

STAMPIN’ SUNDAY &TIME TO SHARE

The card I am sharing with you today is my submission for this week’s Global Design Project challenge.

This week is a sketch challenge and I loved all the projects made by the GDP Design Team. Check them out for yourself – http://www.global-design-project.com/2024/01/global-design-project-430-sketch.html

This week I will be featuring the Perennial Lavender Suite Collection and this is the first project using it.

I started with a Gorgeous Grape cardbase and added an embossed layer. The Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder was used.

Then I die cut three DSP pieces using the Perrenial Postage Dies. One of them was stamped using a greeting from the Love This Moment Stamp Set.

Then I cut and offset two pieces of paper from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper collection.

I chose one of the butterflies from the Paper Butterfly Accents and coloured it, with a Blending Brush, using Fresh Freesia Classic Stampin’ Pad.

I adhered some of the DSP on the envelope and added a strip on the card insert.

Finally, I added Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots from the Assortment pack.

For the rest of this week I have five more projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

This week I have featured several of the FREE Sale-a-bration productions that are available, while stocks last, until the end of February.

Another feature of Sale-a-bration is the JOINING OFFER.

Customers who join the Stampin’ Up! fun crafting community as a new demonstrator can get $235 AUD worth of product PLUS our Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio* (a $106 AUD value) for just $169 AUD!

Customers who want to join Stampin’ Up! during Sale-A-Bration but are interested in a different join option can instead get $235 AUD worth of product PLUS an additional $51 AUD worth of product of their choice when they join for $169 AUD. That’s a $286 AUD value! 

Today’s card uses the Detailed Dogwood Cling Stamp Set from the Sale-a-bration Brochure. You can choose this when you place a minimum $90AUD order (before shipping).

This, image only, stamp set has a variety of botanical and geometric designs.

The darker single flower image, in the centre above, coordinates with the Petal Park Builder Punch.

For this card, I have also used the Perennial Postage Stamp Set and Dies.

I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the second largest Perennial Postage Dies. Then I stamped the cross hatched image, dragonfly, the ampersand symbol and rectangle # image two to three times.

The larger dogwood image was stamped in Crumb Cake before I coloured it using Stampn’ Blends in Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Garden Green.

The flowers were then painted with Wink of Stella to add some shimmer.

The flowers were fussy cut and placed on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I attached this panel to a piece of Calypso Coral that was cut using the largest of the Perennial Postage Dies.

These layers were then adhered to a Basic White card base.

The amperstand symbol was also stamped inside the card and on the envelope.

A length of Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim was tied into a bow and attached to the card using a Mini Glue Dot.

I am not sure what I will have to share with you tomorrow but I hope that you will pop by and take a look.

Until then, happy stamping.
