PREVIEWING THE NEW

Hello my paper crafting friends. I am deloghted that you have taken the time to pop by.

Today I am going to share some gorgeous new products that are in the upcoming July – December 2021 Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Brochure (3 August – 30 September 2021).

And they coordinate with current products in the Annual Catalogue!

The Sale-a-bration Brochure has four paper bundles, including an all black and white Beautifully Penned 12″x 12″ DSP. This bundle coordinates with the Hand Penned DSP. The six designs in the Beautifully Penned bundle are actually the same, uncoloured images from the Annual Catalogue bundle. So, I used a piece of the black and white waves to frame a piece of the coloured floral paper. T

I cut and punched three strips of card stock in Blusging Bride, Daffodil Delight and Misty Moonlight. I used the Banner Triple Punch. Then I used the new Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder to give texture to those banner pieces.

The Daffodil Delight banner piece was glued onto the DSP layers. Then I tied, trimmed and wrapped a length of the amazing new Blushing Bride Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon. I love this new ribbon. The other two banner pieces were popped up onto the front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a square of the coloured waves DSP that was also embossed.

The birthday greeting is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. I used strips of the coloured DSP to finish the card insert and envelope. Then I finished the card by adding some of the pink Elegant Faceted Gems.

I am just starting to play with all the new products I was able to preorder. So, I am looking forward to sharing projects using these new products.

What do you think? Who would you send this birthday card to?

Friday’s project will feature the same products but with a very different look.

Happy stamping.

INSPIRED BY A KIT

Hello and welcome. Thanks for popping by to see today’s project.

I am about to restart my Coffee & Card classes at a local cafe. It has been a number of weeks since I postponed them for my surgery and recovery. I am so pleased that I now feel confident enough to walk to the class carrying our supplies.

This first get together will feature the Sentimental Rose Card Kit. I want to introduce these ladies to the new range of Stampin’ Up!® Card Kits and go back to some stamping basics. There are three cards for each participant to make.

In preparation for the class, I made three sample cards following the instructions in the kit.

Inspired by the cards in kits, I decided to take inspiration from them to create other cards. This is one way that I can show my beginning stampers future possibilities.

The first of these cards focuses on the So Saffron and Soft Succulent ‘Congratulations’ card.

My first step was to use one of the new Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush to create the pattern in So Saffron on So Saffron cardstock. Then I took a piece of Shimmery White cardstock to apply the two colours using a Water Painter to create a similar effect. I used the same coloured Stampin’ Blends to flick colour speckles oner the water colouring. This panel was secured on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used the Sentimental Rose flower to stamp the image three times using So Saffron on Shimmery White cardstock. The three flowers were then fussy cut to achieve the three layers you can see on the card front. Each layer was gently scrunched and then layered together. The leaves were stamped using Soft Succulent ink, fussy cut and adhered to the back of one of the flowers. The second flower was trimmed along the right-hand edge. Both flowers were then adhered to the card front. Each flower then had some Clear Wink of Stella painted on the petals to add some gorgeous shimmer.

The birthday greeting was stamped and trimmed down before attachng it to the card front. As you know, if you have been following my posts, Istamped the rose on the card insert and envelope. Finally, I coloured some Pearl Basic Jewels using my dark Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blend.

I love the way that I can use different Stampin’ Up!® products in so many different projects. This makes my craftroom stash so versatile and great value!

This is a perfect birthday card for someone who loves flowers and yellow. Do you know someone like that?

Happy stamping.

ONE MORE STEP

Hello! I am so very pleased that you have popped by to see my latest side step card. I hope you like it.

Yes, this is my third side step card in three days. (I promise there won’t be another one tomorrow!!!)

I have featured the same products as yesterday – Best Chapter Stamp Set and Pattern Party Designer Series Paper. This DSP is only available to order if you have placed an order, or have hosted an event, that is at least $310 AUD in value. With that total, you earn STAMPIN’ REWARDS starting at 10% – so, a $310 order earns you $31, which is the cost of this 48 sheet DSP pack. If you want more information about Stampin’ Rewards contact me.

This was meant to be my first Facebook Live project. However, I was having challenges colouring directly onto the stamp using my Stampin’ Write Markers™. So, I did what many of us are doing during challenging times, I ‘pivoted’.

I chose a different sentiment from the set and used Classic Stampin’ Pads in Granny Apple Green and Misty Moonlight instead of the Markers.

Just like yesterday’s card, I cut and adhered the strips of DSP to the card front. For this card, I needed to mindful of the colour sequence of each line – all three panels were cut 1″ longer than needed; the two 7/8″ strips were trimmed back 1″ from the top and the centre panel was trimmed back 1″ from the bottom. This is the same technique that I used for the Christmas in July card from Wednesday.

The sentiment was cut with a different shape from the Tasteful Labels Dies. I fussy cut the ‘Chapter’ and ‘Happy Housewarming’ elements and popped them up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped a length of Misty Moonlight Ribbon around the bottom section of the card front and tied it in place. Strips of the DSP were adhered to the card insert and envelope. My final touch was to use the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend to colour three Opal Rounds. They look awesome on the sentiment panel.

I think it is great to see some of the products used in various projects. These are the majority that I used for today’s card. I have realised that I need to order some more of Misty Moonlight Ribbon – I onlt have about 4″ left and none in my standby drawer.

Do you know someone who is about to move into a new home? Would they like a ‘Happy Housewarming’ card from you?

Happy stamping.
