Hydrangea Haven by Stampin’ Up!

Published on February 12, 2023February 25, 2023 by Vicky Wright1 Comment

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.

Today’s card is one we created in a FB Live a little time ago but am only just getting around to sharing. It is also one that was cased from Page 11 of the 2023 Sale-a-Bration Brouchure.

Sometimes we look at inspiration from our Catalogues & think we can’t recreate the projects as we don’t have the same product. Well, let me say that you don’t need the same product as this proves that you can use what you have in your stash.

I’ve placed a Decorative Mask from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks over a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock prior to blending Petal Pink Ink over the top with a Blending Brush.

The Pumpkin Pie Twine is from the Three Twine Combo Pack which I think adds more interest to the whole card. The flowers were fussy cut fom a piece of the Favored Flowers DSP before being adhered onto a Vellum die cut circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals The Vellum circle was then adhered to the card front with Adhesive.

Dainty Delight Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

Published on January 30, 2023January 30, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

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.

I am loving all the elements in the Dainty Delight Dies especially the lovely little daisy. Have you seen it? Fits so perfectly onto any of your projects.

To create the garden –

Ranodmly stamp the leaves images onto Basic White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
Randomly stamp grass & flowers image along bottom of same Basic White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
Colour & blend leaves & grass with Garden Green Watercolour Pencil

Die cut above 3 or 4 leaves from Garden Green Cardstock with Dainty Delight Dies prior to randomly adhering to Garden Green Stems
Die cut 4 x daisies & 3 x half diaisies from Daffodil Delight Cardstock with Danity Delight Dies

Repeat for 2nd daisy & also the half daisy
Die cut the middles for flowers from Soft Suede Cardstock with the Dainty Delight Dies
Adhere to middle of each flower prior to adhering flowers to tops of stems with Stampin’ Dimensionals

Dainty Flowers DSP by Stampin’ Up!

Published on January 23, 2023January 22, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I don’t normally post on a Monday, but I thought I would start sharing a few extra projects that I’ve been creating with the lovely Dainty Delight Bundle from the Mini along with the Dainty Flowers DSP which is Level 1 of Sale-a-Bration.

Today’s card is quite easy as I wanted the DSP to be the star of the show. Have you seen this DSP? It is so pretty & soft BUT in saying that it is also fantastic for the males too. Don’t forget to look at both sides. You never know what you will discover!

I love that with these papers, all you really have to do is stamp a sentiment, add a little Ribbon or Embellishments if you like & your cards are done. Quick & easy.

I decided to try the Spotlighting Technique in that I die cut a circle from the paper with the Layering Circles Dies. I then die cut a scallop circle with the same dies but just 1 size up with Rich Razzleberry Cardstock.

The DSP circle was adhered to the scallop circle Cardstock before being laid back into the DSP layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals. When adhering the pieces back in place, be sure to match in your images as close as possible.

The sentiment is from the Dainty Delight Stamp Set & was stamped direct onto the DSP with Starry Sky Ink.

You can see another project created for the males with the same Dainty Flowers DSP by clicking HERE.

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.

Dandy Designs DSP by Stampin’ Up!

Published on January 12, 2023January 11, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I’m sharing the card we created in our Stamp & Create FB Live yesterday where we played with the Level 2, Sale-a-Bration Dandy Designs DSP. Much to my surprise, I am loving the designs & colours of these papers. The colours are for male, female, kids & babies. In fact anyone & everyone. It is just perfect for all occasions.

I’m not sure what this Fun Fold is called but be careful, be very careful as it is pretty addictive. The hardest part of the whole fold is deciding on what Papers to use!

Now I know what you’re thinking, “Blue & Green should neer be seen!” But in this case, Pool Party & Granny Apple Green go so well together, don’t you think?

Check out the colours on that owl? He is from the Level 1, Sale-a-Bration, Adorable Owls Stamp Set. The colours are Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green & Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Blends.

All the measurements will be posted once I’ve sorted them out.

In the meantime, click on the video to see how I create my card.

G;Day Friends,

Wishing you all a very Happy, Healthy & Safe 2023. I do hope you all had a lovely night out & about or a fun night if you spent it at home in front of the TV.

Today’s card was one we created in our FB Live yesterday using the fun Sketch Layout #9. Lots of potentional, don’t you think?

I decided to try & use the lovely new Favored Flowers DSP (I realise the spelling is not right) from 2023 January-February Sale-a-Bration which goes live 5 January. If you live in Australia & don’t have a copy of the new 2023 Januart-April Mini Catalogue or SAB Brochure, please let me know & I can arrange one to be posted off to you.

These papers have Dies that match but believe me they are easy enough to fussy cut around & add them to your projects. The flower images are just stunning & seem to pop out from the paper.
