Stampin' Up' Collage Stamping ATC with Friends Are Like Seashells

Late last year I took part in our team ATC swap and made some Collage Stamping ATC's featuring Friends are Like Seashells stamp set. Totally inspired/CASED by this card. I got a pile of lovely stamped ATC's back in return (my favourite part) to be honest.

Stampin' Up! Dandy Wishes Birthday Card with Free Tutorial

After posting my top 9 photos of 2021 on Instagram yesterday, I realised I had never shared the completed card which had the teaser blended panel. Opps!
I made the panel for a Dandy Wishes birthday card for a free tutorial with some new Stampin' friends I met on one of my online international training groups.

You may have seen this sneak peak online forever ago (or recently in my top 9 round up 🤣)


This is the finished card and as I like to do, I decorated the envelope and the inside of the card as well!

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked Hello Card

Today, we have week 19 of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Andrea Sargent's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, gorgeous grape. 


I had trouble choosing my trio of colours from the swatch this week so I made two cards. I went with the top two sets of colours. Gorgeous grape, pool party, garden green for one card and gorgeous grape, early espresso, granny apple green for the second card. Both cards are practically the same except for the colour choices.
I have used the artistically inked stamp set and artistic dies and made two hello cards. I added in some copper foil from the brushed metallic foil from the July - December mini catalogue and some champagne rhinestone basic jewels. 


With decorated envelope - I used the large watercolour image randomly over the envelope flap


With decorated envelope in pool party ink

Stampin' Up! No Occasion Delicate Dahlias Card

With sale-a-bration ending today, I had one last play with delicate dahlias stamp set. I also had a play with the soft pastels. They are heaps of fun to play with and at $15.75 (AUD), they aren't expensive to grab a pack and have a go! 


I used the soft pastels to create the dahlias/leaves on the left hand vertical panel by using the distinctive stamps and I covered the panel with faux silk technique for added interest which also softened the images even more. I stamped the line art image in crushed curry ink on crushed curry cardstock for a tone on tone look and stamped both the line art image and the distinctive image for the main focal crushed curry image, which I then fussy cut out. I raised the fussy cut out image on stampin' dimensionals. Two leaves have been stamped in mossy meadow and also fussy cut out. They have been stacked up and adhered behind the raised dahlia. I had used gold pearls I found in my stash to complete the card front.

Stampin' Up! Textures & Frames Hello Card

How fun is textures & frames stamp set? I am a late to the party to inking this stamp set up but I am really enjoying having a go with it. It has sat on my desk uninked for a week as we have been busy with a new dog in the house but I am glad I finally got a chance to ink it up. Especially as sale-a-bration only has a few days to go!
Here's the hello card I made with it today.

I have yet another Beautifully Penned creation to share with you again today. This one is another funky fold like yesterday. I have actually shown you this fold before here.
Today, I have styled my double pocket card as a birthday card and in one of the pockets, I have stashed some cash. It would also fit tattslotto tickets, scratchies and possibly gift cards if they aren't very wide.

Stampin' Up! Triple Point Birthday Card with Expressions In Ink DSP x 2

I was asked by a family friend to make a 50th birthday card earlier this month. I decided to make a triple point card because they look pretty wow and since I was making one, I thought I'd make another at the same time! When I was making them, in my head I had what I thought would be my favourite from them beginning but when I had finished both cards, I was surprised and I had changed my mind at what was my favourite. 
Please note, they both use retired dies (numbers 50 and Happy Birthday) and gold glitter paper but all other products used are current. 

Which one do you like best? The 50th card or the Happy Birthday card?


Close up - I love the texture of the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder on this card


Happy birthday card


Close up - I like that the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder (which is advertised in the July - December [Holiday] catalogue) looks fabulous with the Happy Birthday die cut

Today, we have week 17 of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Kate Morgan's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, flirty flamingo. 
I have chosen flirty flamingo, daffodil delight and old olive from the colour coach to work from this week. 

For my card today I have used the lovely delicate dahlias stamp set as the main focal image for my card. Delicate dahlias stamp set is one of the free products available as part of sale-a-bration. There are 10 products to choose from - 4 stamp sets, 3 paper packs, 1 speciality paper and a 2 dies sets! Free products are available with purchases of $90 or more. Sale-a-bration runs until September 30th, 2021. 
I stamped the large dahlia in flirty flamingo twice and fussy cut it out and layered it on top of each other with stampin' dimensionals in between for dimension. The smaller flowers are stamped in daffodil delight and large rhinestone basic jewels adorn the centre of the flowers. The leaves are stamped in old olive. The sentiment is from biggest wish stamp set and the word happy is heat embossed in white embossing power onto basic black cardstock, the birthday is in flirty flamingo ink on basic white cardstock and fussy cut out. All layers on the card are on a piece of crumb cake sewing machine pattern that is adhered in place with the faux silk technique for texture. Additional rhinestone basic jewels are placed in various spots around the card to finish it off.

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, crumb cake.
