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

This week I have made new projects to share with you, using the MEDITTERANEAN BLOOMS SUITE COLLECTION.

My thoughts about this suite went to Italy! I remember when I was in Sorrento seeing the beautiful blues of the Meditteranean Sea, groves of citrus, aged olive trees and local Lemoncello brewers.

One of the amazing things about travelling is storing these memories and remembering them when we see, hear or smell something that triggers them. Sometimes those memories are recorded.

Today’s project is a memory keeping project.

When Rob and I travelled earlier this year, I took more than my usual share of photos. These scrapbooking pages feature some of the flowers I saw.

One day soon I hope that I learn how to take a straight photo of a scrapbook page.

For both of the scrap pages I used a 12″x 12″ Night of Navy card and added one of the designs from the Meditteranean Blloms Designer Series Paper. The paper was trimmed down to 11″x 11″.

The DSP design features small flowers which is perfect for these pages.

Each of the photos was cut using the Citrus Blooms Dies. For the centre photo, I cut the Basic White leafy frame and placed it over the photo using Adhesive Sheet.

The Mini Alphabet Dies were used to cut the title letters. I used adhesive sheets to secure the title.

Each of the photos have a small journalling tab attached, I used the Keeping Tabs punch and cut each in half and stapled them in place (yes, I still have my retired Stampin’ Up! stapler)

The final elements for each page were white flowers from the Petal Park Builder Punch.

The photos were all glued into place with the PHOTO SAFE Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

Tomorrow I have a simple technique to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

THIS SUNDAY BRINGS MY COUNTRY WOODS SUITE COLLECTION PROJECT SHARES TO A CLOSE

For almost the last two weeks I have been sharing the Country Woods Suite Collection projects, that I created for a recent Paper Angels Team Day, with you.

They have ranged from easier cards for newer crafters to more elaborate projects for the more expereinced and well equipped crafter. I have showcased this product collection and used other products to maximise creative opportunities to show what you can use this new collection with. There have been a variety of tips, techniques and fun folds on offer as well. I hope that you have enjoyed what I have shared and are now inspired to move on to your own creations.

Today I have a 12″x 12″ scrapbook page to share with you.

It incorporates four photographs – two from our recent visit to the US and two from the UK.

For this page I used multiple layers of card – a 12″x 12″ Basic White base and then receding layers of coloured card – Azure Afternoon, Smoky Slate, Azure Afternoon and Smoky Slate. Finally, I added a piece of paper from the Country Lace DSP collection.

This piece of DSP was a perfect match for the US beach scentes and the UK concrete in the photos.

I cut four 3 3/4″ panels in Basic White and Azure Afternoon and used the So Swirly 3D Embossing Folder to give them texture.

These embossed panels were adhered evenly on the page before the photos were added.

I used the Keeping Tabs Die/Punch to create each journalling tab to then add to each photograph.

I used the Beach Day Dies to cut the three surfboards I added to the page.

How much do you think this beach hut would cost to buy?

I printed the central sentiment using a typewriter style font and trimme dit down to add to my page.

This was such an awesome memory page to make because of the wonderful experiences we had.

Tomorrow, being Monday means, I will introduce a new collection of products to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

THIS SATURDAY I HAVE SOME SCRAPBOOKING/MEMORY KEEPING PAGES TO SHARE WITH YOU

It has been quite a while since I have done any real scrapbooking or memory keeping. But having so recently returned from a 10 week overseas holiday I had many memories ready to be shared.

The first memory page is from one of the wonderful days I spent in Rotterdam visiting my dear Stampin’ Up! friend Lotte Noordjzig-Walther. We first met in Orlando, Florida in 2018. We were both attending On Stage and were volunteers. We have managed to catch up at twice at events in Dortmund and Vienna.

This memory is from the day I spent with her at a crafting event she and her team were holding at a week long summer festival held just outside Amsterdam

Lotte picked me up from my central Rotterdam accommodation and we drove to the event, chatting all the way. We also spent the following day walking, talking and eating our way around Rotterdam.

I took many photos at the crafting event but chose this one to share.

I started by choosing the Wood Textured Specialty Paper because it tied in so well with the pine panelling in the craft space at the event. Using the Basic Beige Classic Stampin’ Pad and a small BLending Brush, I worked some colour across the white card.

After the photo was adhered, I die cut many flowers in the 2024-2026 In Colour cardstock to match the flower garland made to decorate the crafting space. The flowers were added to the scrap page following the same colour sequence of the garland.

The Labeled with Love die cut card was perfect for my journalling.

After adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of some Shy Shamrock card I used the Alphabet A La Mode dies to cut the letters for the page. Then I was able to add my title to the page – A LOTTE FUN.

This page was a LOTTE fun to create and it is a wonderful way to capture this memory.

About three weeks after being in Rotterdam, Rob and I had headed to Japan for a 15 day tour.

Towards the end of that tour we visited Mt Fuji. We headed up to the Fifth Station and were shrouded in cloudy mist. Then we drove to Lake Kawaguchi and stayed overnight in a hotel with views across the lake to Mount Fuji.

When we woke the following morning, on our 39th wedding anniversary, we were greeted with a spectacular and clear view of the mountain.

For this memory page I chose a Petal Pink background to match the pink hotel that can be seen across the lake.

This piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper was a perfect match for this page. After layering all the elements of this page I then used one of the Pocket Thoughts Dies to create a journalling pocket.

The new Keeping Tabs Die/Punch is perfect to add to the top of a journalling panel.

The word FUJI was created using the same DSP, with attached Adhesive Sheet, and the Alphabet A La Mode Dies.

Although we were not in Japan during cherry blossom season, I thought that adding some of flowers from the Country Flowers Dies would be an appropriate embellishment.

Tomorrow I will share a 12″x 12″ scrapbooking page with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
