Male Cards

Caseing the Mini Catalogue

Published on February 5, 2023February 10, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Did you see our #acardadayinjanuary on our FB Pages last month? It was all about Birthday Cards!

Well, once again, Robbie & myself are teaming up again each Sunday during February to bring you a month of Caseing the current Mini Catalogue. Now, neither of us knows 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.

Our first Sketch Layout has been taken from Page 12 of the January-April Mini Catalogue.

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 & Imeperial – 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 create my card I decided to dig out the lovely Season of Chic Bundle. So of course I had to use the coordinating Texture Chic Papers. Of course, feel free to use what you have in your stash.

See the panel? I’ve sponged a small amount of Soft Succulent Ink with a Blending Brush to create the background.

The gold leaf was die cut with the die from the Chic Dies with Gold Distress Paper. Love this paper!

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.

Don’t forget to join us again next Sunday for another fun Case from the Mini Catalogue.

January Stamp n’ Hop Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop & our very first for 2023 where it is all about the lovely products from 2023 January-February Sale-a-Bration.

We are a group of SU! Demos from all over the world sharing our love of Stampin’ Up! Feel free to join us if you like, but we do ask that you be a current SU! Demo & that you use current SU! products.

You may have arrived from Gez’s blog where she shared her lovely creation. If you are starting from my blog, all you have to do is click on the Blog Roll below in case you get lost!

For my project I decided to try & use some of the gorgeous papers for males so I had to look at them all from a different angle. I think I have succeeded but you be the judge.

The paper is from the lovely Level 1 Dainty Flowers DSP which you can earn for FREE when spenidng $90 in my Online Store.

Again I challenged myself to team the paper up with something I already had & the Whiskey Business Stamp Set was just that. It is also one of my favourites.

The images were stamped onto Basic White Cardstock prior to being coloured & blended with Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Combo, fussy cut & adhere to the centre of the DSP panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Night of Navy Ink while the base card is Crushed Curry. The colours have been taken from the colours in the DSP Pack.

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by.

My card today is one we created in our Mystery Stamping a couple of weeks ago & thought I would share it with you.

I’ve been playing with the Soft Pastels of late & WOW, WOW, WOW! I can’t seem to put the things down.

If you haven’t see them in the Annual Catalogue, do yourself a favour & grab them today, as you need these little beauties in your collection. I love them so much that I’m planning on doing a series of classes with them, but more about that later.

Again it is an easy layout & one which you can use over & over while resulting in a completely different look. But then again, that is what Mystery Stamping is all about – simple, easy but with a little bit of mystery!!!

Of course, when you have a great layout that you love & use over & over, there is no stopping. I then shared a 2nd card I created that morning with different supplies.

My 2nd card I shared using the same layout has been created with the lovely limited Waves of the Ocean Collection. This Collection will no longer be available after May 2.

Cardstock is Granny Apple Green, Night of Navy & Basic White. The images have been stamped in Soft Suede, Basic Black & NIght of Navy Inks. Of course the Waves of the Ocean DSP is from the Collection.

For the month of April, we are showcasing the lovely Oceanfront Stamp Set. You need this set in your collection, believe me!

This set makes it so easy to create lovely projects with minimum supplies & effort!

I wanted to see if I could create something a little different wih this set using only the grass images. I think I have achieved it, but you decide for yourself.

I’ve actually used 3 techniques on this card – can you guess what they are? Check below to find out what they are…..

I am loving the gorgeous Pebbles Enamels Shapes from the January-June Mini Catalogue. You are gonna need these, so do yourself a favour & grab some while you can. Aren’t they just gorgeous?

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Oceanfront, Inspired Thoughts

Inks – Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Mint Macaron, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso

Cardstock – Basic White, Crumb Cake, Mint Macaron

Colouring Tools – Blending Brushes, Sponge Daubers

Embellishments – Pebbles Enamels Shapes

Answer to today’s riddle?

Blending background with the Blending Brushes
Sponge Daubers on the rocks
Masking along the bottom of the grass

PS I’ve just noticed a spot on my card, so please try & ignore that until I take another photo

Thank you so much for joining me today. To check out what Robbie has created, be sure to click on the photo below.
