Friendly Hello Bundle – Make n Take #4

G’Day Friends,

This week I will be sharing the remainder of my samples from our Fun Day over in our World Card Making Group – #WCMG.

Make n Take #4 was all about Mystery Stamping. Who doesn’t love a bit of mystery?

Once again I’ve used the Friendly Hello Bundle is Level 2 from Sale-a-Bration which you can earn for FREE when spending $180. Can I say I am enjoyning playing with these papers & have to report that I don’t have much left which is probaly a good thing, right!

This gorgeous Bundle includes the Friendly Hello Stamp Set along with a pack of the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper. Did you know that some images from the stamp set are designed to be stamped directly onto the paper for a unique look all you own. How great is that?

I’ve taken the colours of Pale Papaya & Basic Black from the papers which are striking but soft to the eye.

The flowers have been coloured & blended with Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends while the leaves have been stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink.

Awesome Otters – Make n Take #2

Published on January 17, 2022January 17, 2022 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I spent Saturday crafting online with a lovely group of friends in our World Card Making Group – #WCMG. It was a full on day showcasing the Sale-a-Bration & the Mini Catlaogues. We shared lots of lovely projects with videos, tips & ideas. You are more than welcome to join us if you like.

As it is Monday, it means it’s Manly Monday, I thought I would share one of the cards that I created from Annette’s lovely project. Perfect for the kids!

Both the cute Awesome Otters Stamp Set & the Simply Marbleous DSP are Level 1 Sale-a-Bration items that you are able to receive for free when spending $90AUD.

My card has been created using scraps of DSP & Cardstock so I actually went with what I had. The cute little otters have been coloured & blended with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends, while the hat is Manago Melody & Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set, stamped onto So Saffron Cardstock in Night of Navy Ink, chopped back to size & shape before being adhered to the card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

I randomly selected a piece of the lovely Simply Marblevous Paper – Level 1 from Sale-a-Bration – & then had to decide what colours to use so I opted for Garden Green & Gorgeous Grape.

The DSP was randomly chopped into 3 pieces before adhering to a piece of the Gorgeous Grape Cardstock ensuring that the patterns match in & leaving a small amount of Gorgeous Grape around all sides. This layer was then adhered to a Garden Green Base Card.

The sentiment is from the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set, stamped onto Basic White in Garden Green Ink & die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

The larger butterfly from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape Ink, die cut with the matching Nature’s Thoughts Dies bfeore being adhered to the left side of the sentiment.

The 2 little buttterflies have been die cut from Blushing Bride Cardstock with Nature’s Thoughts Dies before being randomly adhered to the card front.

The card has been finished off with Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Feature of the Week – Simply Marbleous DSP #1

Published on January 10, 2022January 17, 2022 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I do hope you have all had a great weekend. If you are anywhere near the waters, please take care.

Thank you to everyone who reached out asking if I was ok & yes all is good as we have not been affected.

I have been playing with the lovely Simply Marbleous DSP from Sale-a-Bration of late & am loving the colours & patterns although I seem to be gearing towards the one side in particular.

This Paper is Level 1 which you can earn for FREE when spending $90!

Not only will I be showcasing the papers, but I will also be showcasing the ever so versatile Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set – perfect for all occasions especially Manly Monday!

First up I had to decide what colours I could use with the Smokey Slate sheet of Paper so I opted for Daffodil Delight, Garden Green with Basic White tossed in too. Way out of my comfort zone but hey it is always good to try new combinations.

The DSP was randomly chopped into 3 pieces before adhering to a piece of Garden Green Cardstock ensuring that the patterns match in & leaving a small amount of Garden Green around all sides. This layer was then adhered to a Smokey Slate Base Card.

I stamped a sentiment from Inspired Thoughts onto scrap Basic White with Smokey Slate Ink prior to die cutting with the Messages Dies & adhering to the Card Front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped an image from Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set in Daffodil Delight Ink prior to fussy cutting, trimming part of the stem a little & adhering to the top of the sentiment shape with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

To finish the card, I grabbed a couple of the new Classic Matte Dots which are available in the new Jan-Jun Mini Catalogue & adhered these to the front. I think they finished the card off perfectly.

I wasn’t too sure how this colour combination would work but I have to admit I think they work in well together, don’t you?

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

January Stamp ‘N Hop

Published on January 8, 2022January 17, 2022 by Vicky Wright15 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Thank you & welcome to our first Blog Hop for the new year!

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.

This month is a little different as we get to mix & match new product with old product. You could say a little of this from the new January-February Sale-A-Bration or January-June Mini & a little of this from the Annual Catalogue.

You may have arrived from Jenn’s blog where she shared her lovely creation. If you are starting from my blog, all you have to do is click on the arrow below or the Roll Call at the end of my post.

An image from Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set was stamped onto a piece of Basic White in Memento Tuxedo Back Ink & coloured with the Poppy Parade & Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Combos.

The sentiment was stamped to the right side direct onto the same Basic White & again, in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I grabbed a small piece of the lovely Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper from Sale-a -Bration – don’t you just love the name? – & adhered it to the bottom of the Basic White.

A piece of the lovely Metallic Mesh Ribbon was adhered across the top of the Paper prior to adhering to a layer of Basic Grey & finally to the Old Olive Base Card.

The remainder of the Ribbon was threaded through the piece going across the card prior to a bow being tied.

To finish it off Rhinestones Basic Jewels were randomly adhered to the Card Front & to the bottom of each flower.

Its a very simple card but I think the colours & simpilicity of the card speaks for itself, don’t you?

Thank you so much for visting me today. It is very much appreciated. Next up on our hop is Jacqui. I’m sure she would love for you to visit & to leave her a comment.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

My card today is not what I started how to create as it sort of took a life of its own but hey I don’t mind. It gives it a one of look.

Once again the colours have been picked from the Papers – Basic Black & Pool Party. How easy can that be?

The sentiment panel was die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies & yes, they are one of my favourites, hence the lots of use, while the sentiment was stamped in Pool Party Ink.

The flowers image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, coloured & blended with the Pool Party Stampin’ Blends prior to fussy cutting around the image & adhering to the bottom part of the sentiment panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.You should be receiving or received your Catalogues this week as they went off in the mail last week so hopefully they should be landing in your letterboxes shortly.

G’Day Friends,

It’s Day #3 of featuring the lovely Friendly Hello Bundle.

This is a Level 2 Bundle from Sale-a-Bration which you can earn for FREE when spending $180 AND it starts TODAY!

This gorgeous Bundle includes the Friendly Hello Stamp Set along with a pack of the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper.

I started casing the Card from the Brochure but then it sort of went off on its own. But that can be a good thing as you then add your own spin on things.

The colours of my card come from the Papers which make it so easy to create. They are Basic Black, Petal Pink with a piece of Vellum added over the top of the DSP.

A piece of Basic White was die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, prior to stamping the bird & flowers image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. They were then coloured with Pool Party & Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Combos.The sentiment has been stamped in Granny Apple Green Ink, another colour in the Papers.

Catalogues went off in the mail last week so hopefully they should be landing in your letterboxes shortly. If you don’t have a current Demonstrator & you would like a copy of the Catalogues, please contact me as I can pop one in the post for you.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
