G’Day Friends,

This is our 1st project for the month of March created with the fun Whale Done Stamp Set. It’s a fun set & perfect for the kids in your life.

The cards this month have been teamed up with the gorgeous By the Bay DSP which is in the current Mini Catalogue. I think it suits this Stamp Set perfectly but you be the judge.

Each week, we step our cards up a little which means they are perfect for the Beginner Stamper right through to the Advanced Stamper.

The images were randomly stamped onto Basic White Cardstock prior to the DSP being adhered along the bottom.

All 4 projects with the video links are included in the Tutorial along with a List of Supplies for all projects, Measurements in A4 Metric & Imperial AND Letter Sizes plus Step by Step Instructions.

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.

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.

A Decorative Mask from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks was placed over a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock prior to blending Fresh Freesia Ink over the top with a Blending Brush.

G’Day Friends,

I have another card to share with you created from the Level 1, Favored Flowers DSP from 2023 Sale-a-Bration.

Earn the papers FREE when spending $90 or more in my Online Store up to 28 February.

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 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.

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for popping in today.

I thought I would share with you the bonus sample created with the Linen Specialty Paper available in the current Annual Catalogue.

Our FB Live last week was all about Basic Stamping onto thie lovely Paper. In fact, it is more like stamping on fabric rather than paper. It gives such a soft look to your projects & some of the results are just gorgeous.

The colours used to create the card are Coastal Cabana & Gorgeous Grape Inks while the sentiment has been stamped with Basic Grey Ink. The card was finished off with the Pastel Pearls.

To see a few tips & tricks on using the Linen Specialty Paper or to watch how I created my first card, click on the video below.

G’Day Friends,

I have an easy but fun technique for you today. I first saw this somewhere in my social media feed either TickTok, Pinterest or FB. I’m not sure which but it stuck in the back of my mind & thought I would give it ago.

To create my bubbles, I’ve used Coastal Cabana Ink along with a Sponge Dauber. You could also use your Blending Brushes if you wish along with as many colours as you like.

It would be great to see the same effect with different shapes or even balloons.

I am loving the soft colour of Coastal Cabana along with the Bermuda Bay togs & Basic Grey sentiment. What about the bling? They are the Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds which just pops the card even more.
