TODAY IS TUESDAY & IT’S TIME FOR SOME TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

My tip for today is to find other Stampin’ Up! products that you can team with a new collection. In this case, I used the Biggest Wish Stamp Set along with the Love This Moment Stamp Set to create the ‘happy birthday’ greeting.

For this card I have used only the Perennial Postage Dies and Perennial Lavender DSP.

I started with a Crumb Cake card base and a panel of Highland Heather cardstock. Then I added a layer of the DSP.

The ‘happy’ was stamped onto a small piece of the same DSP and onto the back of the envelope. I used Lost Lagoon ink for both.

Using one of the Perennial Postage Dies I cut out the greeting and added it to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

TODAY’S TECHNIQUE – I used Blending Brushesand Highland Heather ink to colour one of the Paper Butterfly Accents. The butterfly doubled as a mask to colour a piece of Basic White cardstock.

I used my Crafting Tweezers, from the Embossing Additions Tool Kit, to hold the laser cut butterfly in place. Take care to be gentle when colouring the antennae because they are quite fine.

The resulting reverse butterfly image was then fussy cut.

I layered the two butterflies on to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

I tied a triple bow using Linen Thread and attached it with a Mini Glue Dot.

I stamped ‘birthday’, in Lost Lagoon, on the card insert.

A strip of DSP and a larger piece of the same DSP were added to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some more of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the front of the card.

Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.

Until the, 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!

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.
