Hydrangea Haven by Stampin’ Up!

G’Day Friends,

Thanks so much for dropping by today.  It is very much appreciated.

Did you see our Week 1 of Caseing the Mini Catalogue last Sunday?  Today, we are back for Week 2, but of course with a completely different case.

Today’s Sketch Layout has been taken from Page 62 of the January-April Mini Catalogue.

Now, neither Robbie or myself know what the other is using on their project as all we have is the Sketch Layout we have created to match the card we are caseing.

If you use Letter size, then head over to Robbie’s Blog to grab her measurements – bearing in mind, they may be a completely style card to mine – while here I will have the Letter Size – Metric & Imperial – for my project.

To download your preferred layout, all you have to do is click on the images, save to your PC or print on A5 paper & save in your Sketch Layout Folder to use over & over again.

To decide on the size of my card, I went by the Slimline Envelopes from the Annual Catalogue, Page 137.

My hand went straight to the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set, which I must admit haven’t used in some time so that is a good thing, right?  I went with the colours of the layout as another starting point but of course as they do, the card took a life of its own.

The paper comes from the Dandy Designs DSP, Level 2 of 2023 Sale-a-Bration.  I just love these papers.

I must admit that the Dies & Stampin’ Blends have done most of my work for me.  I’ve let them shine!

Since the video was created, I’ve added a few more elements to my card since the video, ie White Baker’s Twine & Pearls which I think help finish the card.

Be sure to watch the video to find out!

I hope you have enjoyed my take on our 1st Sketch Layout this week.  Be sure to visit Robbie’s blog to find out what she created from the Sketch.

I thought I would share our February Bundle Focus creation from last week.  It has been created with the gorgeous Seaside Bay Bundle, along with the lovely By the Bay DSP, Balmy Blue & White Variegated Ribbon & the Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls which all make up the By the Bay Suite Collection.  You can view this lovely Suite on Page 23 of the new Mini Catalogue.

Check out that gorgeous Paper.  Of course, you know me, I just had to randomly chop it into pieces lol.

The stitched shape is from the Stitched Rectangles Dies while the sentiment has been stamped with Night of Navy Ink.

Be sure to check out the video to see how I created my card.

Dainty Delight Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

G’Day Friends,

I hope you have enjoyed my projects created with the Dainty Delight Bundle & the Danity Flowers DSP this month.  Today is my last share but if you would like more inspiraton on this Bunde & Papers, be sure to check out the pervious project links along with the video links below.

To create my project, I’ve chopped 2 pieces of the DSP & adhered them to a piece of Basic White Cardstock with a small amount of Basic White showing around all sides of the DSP.

The coloured elements on the card have all been die cut from Rich Razzleberry,  Crushed Curry & Fresh Freesia Cardstock with the Danity Delight Dies.  Love it when the dies can do all the work for you & blend in so perfectly with the gorgeous DSP.

The sentiment is from the Dainty Delight Stamp Set, stamped onto Basic White Cardstock with Mossy Meadow Ink before being die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies.

It was then adhered to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals before randomly adhering Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots to the card front too.
