Card Candy with Tropical Leaf Bundle

G’Day Friends,

Well, we’re already onto Week 2 of our Card Candy shares.  I sure hope we’ve given you lots of ideas & inspiration to try it & create your own.

During May, both Robbie & myself are sharing different ways of creating Card Candy/Embellishments for your card projects.  If you are a scrapbooker, then these will suit you too as they are perfect for your pages.  Be sure to pop on over to check out what Robbie has created.

For my Card Candy today, I went straight to the Tropical Leaf Bundle which can be found in the Online Exclusives Shop.  I decided that I wanted to create for the males today so went with colours that I would not normally head for – Copper Clay, Old Olive & Blueberry Bushell.

I must admit I am liking the combination.  The Basic White Cardstock was embossed with my favourite Embossing Folder from the Basics 3D Pack which is also available in the Online Exclusives Shop too.

Have you played with this Bundle yet?  

Don’t forget to head on over to Robbie’s blog to see what she has created.

Stampin’ Up! Whiskey Business

G’Day Friends,

You are probably already aware that today the Last Chance Products from both the Annual & Mini Catalogues are now live.

It’s the perfect chance to save up to 60% on some of those retiring products while saying goodbye to others.    Remember, ONLY WHILE STOCKS LAST!   Would you believe there are products on low supply or gone, gone, gone!
Grab your favourites TODAY before you miss out by clicking HERE or on the photo below.

Whiskey Bussiness is just one of the many Stamp Sets retiring.  It has been a great friend to me over the years & perfect for male cards.

My card today has actually been cased from the front of the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue.  In fact, I did a video for one of our Stamp & Create FB Lives casing the front cover way back in November 2022.

A layer of Soft Succulent Cardstock was embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder prior to being adhered to a Merry Merlot Base Card.  The middle panel is Pale Papaya.  Can you believe Merry Merlot, Pale Papaya AND Soft Succulent are retiring?

Caseing the Mini Catalogue

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.
