LADYBUG SHUTTER CARD

As we are just a few days away from the end of Sale-a-bration, I wanted to use the LITTLE LADYBUG STAMP SET – this is the extra special, free set from Stampin’ Up! ® to those who placed a party or personal order of $500 AU or above.

I have seen quite a few shutter cards online recently and decided it was time I tried this style, using the ladybug.

This card will be popped away until our eldest daughter’s birthday later in the year – PERFECT – her nickname is ‘bug’.

Ladybugs and flowers are a perfect combination, so I used my PEACEFUL POPPIES DSP for this card.

The four rollicking ladybugs add the humour to a “grown up’s” card … as does the cute ladybug hiding behind the shutter.

Peekaboo!

Because I am an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I enjoy lots of perks! Not only do I enjoy a minimum 20% discount on my personal orders; I also get to see, and order, new products and catalogues before our Stampin’ Up! customers.

My ORNATE GARDEN pre-order arrived the day before I created this card, so I decided to use one of the ORNATE LAYERS DIES to frame the birthday sentiment.

The ORNATE GARDEN SUITE will be featured in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue and available to our customers from April 1 … no fooling.

If you would like more information about this early release suite, contact me.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

RAINBOW BLOOMS

The new SMALL BLOOM PUNCH was featured in the first release Sale-a-bration pamphlet as a Level 2 free product.

The very good news is that it will be available, after Sale-a-bration, when the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue is launched, later in the year.

This project is a decor piece and uses 43 of the 50 Stampin’ Up! ® colours.

I want to send a huge thanks to Julie DiMatteo (the Paper Pixie) whose rainbow list I used to sequence the colours.

Each flower is made up of three punched and scrunched bloom shapes adhered with multipurpose glue.

I started with the Cherry Cobbler flower in the centre, on a 9″x 9″ piece of Basic Black card stock, and worked my way out. To help me maintain the circular shapes, I used the smallest and largest LAYERING CIRCLES DIES as a guide. For the outer circle, I used some baking paper to cut a circle guide to the size I needed (a radius of 2.5″).

I couldn’t quite fit the last two colours – Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss – into the circle, so decided to let them just fall out from the others.

The frame I used is a RIBBA shadow box from Ikea … I’m sure lots of you already know about them for decor projects.

This frame is now sitting on my daughter’s work desk.

Thanks for dropping by … happy punching.

SALE-A-BRATION COUNTDOWN

It’s only 5 days until Sale-a-bration ends for 2020, so over the next few days I will be sharing some projects featuring many of the free products.

These cards feature the LOVELY LILY PAD products from the first release Sale-a-bration brochure.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the flower image in a circle.

The LOVELY LILY PAD STAMP SET doesn’t include a sentiment, so I used the HONEY BEE STAMP SET sentiments.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
