Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Bundle

G’Day Friends,

Are you ready for a little crafting today?

My card today is yet another I created using the same layout from Page 77 of the Mini Catalogue along with parts of the card sample on Page 77 of the same Catalogue.  All I’ve done is combined the 2 together to create today’s card.

You can see the 1st layout by clicking HERE.  It includes the Measurements for A4 – Metric & Imperial.  If you click the link to Robbie’s card, she will have her measurements in Letter Size.  The 2nd card I shared with the same layout may be found HERE.

Now, I’m not normally a purple girl but I will admit that I am loving these colours, especially with the the Orchid Oasis Glmmer Paper.  It just shimmers away sometimes in the background & sometimes popping out in front.

The stamped image is from the Dainty Delight Stamp Set & coloured with Stampin’ Blends.  You could also use your Watercolour Pencils if you liked.

The flowers have been die cut with Orchid Oasis Cardstock using the Dainty Delight Dies.  I love these little daisies as they are just that – dainty!

Be sure to watch the video as I explain how I creted this card.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

G’Day Friends,

Can you believe another week has flown by which means it’s time for another Caseing the Mini Catalogue.

This week is our last of this series so I do hope you have enjoyed it & gotten a lot of ideas & inspiration from our shares.

This week, we are caseing the card on Page 55 of the January-April Mini Catalogue.  I’ve just realised that it is actually on the next page to the one we did last week.  How funny is that as it wasn’t planned to happen like that.

Part of the surprise about doing our layouts is that 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.

I will be the first to admit that I wasn’t too sure where my card was heading when I started out but we got there in the end.  Does that ever happen to you?

I am loving the Country Gingham DSP from the Mini Catalogue so much that I’ve just about gone through 2 packs.  In saying that, I am a huge fan of gingham so this Designer Series Paper suits me to a “T”.

What do you think of the Vellum overlay?  Doesn’t it just soften the card?  I always forget about using my Vellum until I’ve completed the project but to my amazement I’ve actually remembered for this one.Be sure to watch the video to find out!

I hope you have enjoyed my take on our Sketch Layout for Week 4.  Be sure to visit Robbie’s blog to find out what she created from the Sketch.

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship

G’Day Friends,

Are you ready for a little crafting?  Well, I have a little inspiration that may help you on your way.

My inspiration for my card actually came from Page 77 of the current Mini Catalogue but I took our Sketch Layout from last Sunday & used that as well.  You can see that layout by clicking HERE.  It also includes the Measurements for A4 – Metric & Imperial.  If you click the link to Robbie’s card, she will have her measurements in Letter Size.

The background has been created with our Artistic Mix Dcorative Masks & a Blending Brush.  In saying that you could easily omit this part if you wanted.

The flowers & sentiment are from the Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set, coloured with Stampin’ Blends & punched with the coordinating Flowers & Leaves Punch.

Be sure to watch the video to see how I created my card today.

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.

To see Week 1, be sure to click HERE.

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

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.

Dandy Designs DSP by Stampin’ Up!

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.

Framed Florets Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

G’Day Friends,

Today I sm sharing a card created when we were able to pre-order the Fitting Florets Collection before being released with the new 2023 January-April Mini Catalogue.  In saying that some of the product in the Collection is for a limited time so once it’s gone, it’s gone!

Luckily the Framed Florets are hanging around for us to play with!  It’s such a pretty bundle with the lovely & easy flowers to colours, the varity of different oval frames & not to mention the gorgeous sentiments in the Stamp Set.  I love it!

My card is an easy one, but one that I’m happy with especilaly if you love blue, Balmy Blue, ie. The colours in the Fitting Florets DSP are simply gorgeous & blend so well together.

The flower has been coloured & blended with Blamy Blue Stampin’ Blend Combo while the leaf was die cut from Night of Navy Cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy Ink.  The card was finished off with Metallic Mesh Ribbon & Silver Pearls from the Festive Pearls Pack.

September Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop

G’Day Friends,

Welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop for September!  Where does the time go?

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

September is about Autumn or Spring depending on which part of the world you live in.  Here in the South Pacific we are entering Spring.  The birds are chirping, the flowers are full of live & it is raining cats & dogs!

You may have arrived from Cheryl’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!

When I laid eyes on the Cheerful Basket Stamp Set, a few ideas immediately popped into my head.  One of which is this.  I’m not sure if I’ve carried it off but I’m happy with the end result.

A little masking, a little colouring with the fabulous Stampin’ Blends along with a pop of colour in Tahitian Tide & of course, Clear Wink of Stella & I think it shouts spring.  What do you think?

To tone down the Tahitian Tide colours, I decided to layer the Basic White layer onto Petal Pink & then to a Crumb Cake Base Card.

It was finished off with a couple of Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gems.

If you live in Australia, click on the photo below to purchase this Suite.  Don’t forget to use the September Host Code – WVPZMJKG  –  if your order is under $250.
