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

From March 5th, there will be a wide range of new and amazing Online Exclusive products available for customers to order.

If you can’t wait that long, you can join Stampin’ Up! and add some of them to your Beginner Kit order.

The Simply Zinnias Suite Collection (163485) is $146AUD.

If you join this month, you can choose $235AUD of products for only $169 (and FREE postage). During February, as a new demonstrator, you will receive the new Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio (valued at $106) for FREE. If you don’t want the Glass Mat, you can choose a further $51AUD in products for FREE.

I love the vivid colours in the Designer Series Paper. Gorgeous!

I started with a Pumpkin Pie card base and then embossed another piece of Pumpkin Pie card using the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. This is one of the best embossing folders I have ever used.

The next step was to stamp, die cut and colour the image with three zinnias stems.

I enjoyed using my Stampin’ Blends for my projects this week.

For this card I used Lemon Lolly, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. When I had finished the colouring, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers and leaves.

I placed the bunch of flowers on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals to lift them up, adding height.

The sentiment was stamped using Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad. I trimmed the sentiment panel to fit acroaa the card. It had dimensionals as well.

I stamped the card insert and envelope with just the top of the stamp, in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Using Linen Thread and gold trim, from the Simply Eleh=gant Trim pack, I tied a triple bow and secured it to the bunch of flowers using Mini Glue Dots.

Tomorrow’s card features the individual zinnia image.

Until then, happy stamping.

SATURDAY IS ALL ABOUT SHARING A CHALLENGE PROJECT

This week’s Global Design Project challenge is a COLOUR CHALLENGE.

These colours, all from the Brights family, are lovely and warm.

Make sure you pop over and see what the GDP Design Team have created. As you scroll down, you can also see all the entries from non-team members, from around the world.

I decided to use the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set from the January – April 2024 Mini Catalogue (162808 – $76.50AUD).

Here are my colourful Easter Eggs.

Yes, my photos are finally loading!

I started by die cutting many of the stitched zigzag shapes and then adhered them to a Basic White panel.

Then I stamped, coloured and die cut the three Easter Eggs. For colouring, I used my Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Pumpkin Pie Stamppin’ Blends. Then I gave each egg a CLear Wink of Stella paint job.

I wrapped some gold Simply Elegant Trim behidn the central egg. The two remaing eggs were trimmed so tht would align with the outer sides of the white panel.

The trimmed eggs were adhered directly over the zigzag background and the central egg was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The ‘Happy Easter’ greeting was stamped separately, using tape to cover each half. After I inked each word I removed the tape and stamped. This gave me two cleanly stamped words with enought space to die cut them with one of the Wonderful Thoughts Dies.

The greeting elements were added to the card front using dimensionals.

The card insert and envelope each had a cardstock zigzag die cut added to them.

Finally, a little bling – white Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins coloured with my Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends pen.

I look forward to sharing new projects next week.

Until then, happy stamping.

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

The title says it all. So, here we go.

The Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set is a photopolymer set which is perfect for accurately stamping the greetings inside the two hexagon framing images.

There are six different greetings which makes it so versatile. The stamp set also has a variety of five small images that can be added to your projects.

Today I have a Triangle Fold Card with an extra triangle to pop a gift card in.

This is such a lovely card and I am so pleased with it.

I started with an A4 piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and trimmed it back to 11 1/2″, my preferred length for cards.

Then I scored and burnished the card into quarters, as you can see below.

Then two right-angled trianges were cut away from the card base – top right and bottom left.

Keep these triangle cut aways because they are very helpful when cutting the patterned paper or card.

I cut the Golf Foiled Flowers Card, using the triangles as a template. Then these pieces were trimmed down to allow a small margin of Very Vanilla card base to be seen as a border.

The card insert had one of these triangles adhered leaving the longest edge open, creating a space for a gift card. There is also enough Very Vanilla inside the card for a message to be written.

I love the way this card opens out, revealing all its layers.

The greetnig was heat embossed and punched out.

A length of gold ribbon, from the Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo was wrapped behind the punched greeting and secured with Stampin’ Seal+.

To finish the card I added some gold sequins, from the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

We have some amazing new Online Exclusives joining the Online Store from the 5th of March for customers OR for preorder now if you are a demonstrator. So if you join now you can add some of these to your Starter Kit.

With that in mind, I have chosen the Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection for all of next week’s projects just to get you excited – and, you will be. This is such a vibrant, colourful collection.

Until then, happy stamping.
