Stampin’ Up! Enjoy the Rhythm Fun Fold

G’Day friends,

Yesterday we had a FB Live in our Stamp & Create Group.  Now it isn’t the best as it’s been awhile since my last live but we got there in the end.

The card was loosely based on one of our cards in this month’s Stamp & Card Club.  In saying that, it is completely different although in a totally different direction if you know what I mean lol.

Part of the drum kit has been coloured with a Real Red Watercolour Pencil & then blended with a Blender Pen.  Other than that, the colours have been kept Basic White, Basic Black & Real Red.  The DSP is Gingham Cottage which is now retired.

To view how I created my card, be sure to watch the video below.

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.

To check out the previous weeks, click on the links – Week 1Week 2, Week 3.

If you live in Australia, click on the photo below to purchase this Bundle.  Don’t forget to use the February Host Code –3UNWDYWV – if your order is under $250.  Valid from 1 – 28 February.

  1.  Place an order & receive a Handmade Card
  2. Place a $50 order to receive a Handmade Card & an exclusive Seaside Bay Inspirations in Ink PDF Tutorial
  3. Place a $100 order to receive all the above PLUS a Make-n-Take kit for my card in the PDF Tutorial Bundle
  4. Place a $250 order to receive all the above PLUS your own Host Rewards & a small gift from me

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.

Country Floral Lane DSP by Stampin’ Up!

G’Day Friends,

Thanks so much for dropping by today.  It is very much appreciated.

It’s time for Week 3 of Caseing the Mini Catalogue!  Today’s Sketch Layout has been taken from Page 54 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.

Now, I will admit that my card today is totally different to what I was actually going to create but hey that can happen, right?

I’ve gone for the lovely Country Floral Lane DSP along with the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo & the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to use on my card.  The Base Card is Sweet Sorbet while the layer of Crumb Cake is not on the list of colours, it does blend nicely.

Be sure to watch the video to find out!

I hope you have enjoyed my take on our Sketch Layout for Week 3.  Be sure to visit Robbie’s blog to find out what she created from the Sketch.

Seaside Bay Bundle Focus Online Class – W2

G’Day Friends,

Well, Week 2 of our Seaside Bay Bundle Focus Online class is now up & running.

I love everything about this Bundle especially the gorgeous papers.

Have you seen them?  Check them out on Page 23 of the new Mini Catalogue.

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

I love that we can showcase our gorgeous papers in so many ways including this one.  Change it out a little or a lot by creating with different papers, images & dies.

The label shape is from the Painted Labels Dies.  Perfect for all occasions!

Be sure to check out the video to see how I created my card.

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.

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.
