Stampin' Up! Slimline Tropics Dies Birthday Card featuring Faux Mother of Pearl Background

Our thirty third colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is pear pizzaz from the subtles collection. I have chosen pear pizzazz, shaded spruce and crushed curry from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 

For my card today I have created a birthday card featuring the timeless tropical stamp set and in the tropics dies. I've also used the "faux mother of pearl" technique with shimmer paint to create my own pear pizzazz designer series paper on a slimline card.
I die cut the pineapple from crushed curry cardstock and fussy cut a backing piece from bumblebee cardstock. I die cut the crown of the pineapple from pear pizzazz cardstock. Leaves are cut from shaded spruce. All die cut pieces and inked in their coordinating inks.
I stamped the smaller flower from timeless tropical stamp set in flirty flamingo ink and coloured in it with poppy parade and flirty flamingo stampin' blends and finished it off with a faux resin dot.
A happy birthday sentiment from itty bitty birthdays in flirty flamingo and punched out with the classic label punch finishes off the card with some pear pizzazz faux resin dots.

Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue Card CASE featuring Playful Alphabet Dies with Brights Designer Series Paper

Our thirty second colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is pacific point from the brights collection. I have chosen pacific point, granny apple green and daffodil delight from the colour coach to work with today. 

For my card today, I turned to the annual catalogue for inspiration as it is a great source for ideas as well as a catalogue and CASED my card from there. First up, you will see the card I have CASED before you see my version. The card shown below is from the 2020 - 2021 annual catalogue, page 100 ©2020 Stampin' Up!®.


My version of the card:


I have used the brights designer series paper (daffodil delight) to create the strips of paper "woven" in between the stitched rectangles dies frame. I have also used the brights designer series paper (pacific point) as strip of paper in the background of my card as for my frame to sit on. I used the foam adhesive sheets with pacific point cardstock to add dimension to the playful alphabet letters and my DIY faux resin dots to complete the card.

Stampin' Up! Pointillism ATC with Wildly Happy Stamp Set

Last month I took part in our team ATC swap and made some Pointillism ATC's. It was fun trying to work out what to use that I thought would be different to everyone else! All of us taking part, used completely different stamp sets and our ideas are so different from one and another. Some of us coloured inside the shape like I did, while others did the colour outside words/images.   


The bullet tip point on Stampin' Blends are perfect for the pointillism technique and made it very quick and easy to make these ATC's. I look forward to teaching a techniques class with this technique in the near future.

Stampin' Up! Saleabration Paper Blooms Fussy Cutting Card

Have you noticed how pretty the Paper Blooms designer series paper from the sale-a-bration brochure is?


It screams to be fussy cut to me so I fussy cut various flowers and leaves and used another sheet for the matt on my card. I did cover the matt with a sheet of vellum to tone it down a little so the focus was more on the tag of flowers. I choose to go with a blank/no sentiment for this card as I feel it could be used for a variety of occasions and I didn't want to "lock" it in for just one yet.

Stampin' Up! Art Gallery Just Want to Say Card

Our thirty first colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is old olive from the regals collection. I have chosen old olive, flirty flamingo and poppy parade from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 
For my card this week, I have used the fine art floral suite from the January - June mini catalogue. I adore the various floral images you can use in the art gallery stamp set and the gilded leaving embellishment is lots of fun to play with. I have mixed all these products with the Paper Blooms 12" x 12" designer series paper which you can get for free during sale-a-bration when you place a minimum order of $90. I've also added in some of my faux resin dots to help mimic the dots on the designer series paper. 


I used stampin' dimensionals to pop up my floral image and this photo angle shows it a little better


Inside card - I have created a blank card/no sentiment card. Despite the "just want to say" on the card front I have left the inside blank so when the time comes, I can add whatever sentiment inside I need to.

Stampin' Up! Fine Art Floral Layered Cube Card

Today is my mum's birthday and I made this card for her. I always try to make her a super special card as she is a big supporter of my stampin' business. Even my family were pretty impressed with my efforts this year. Sometimes they say nothing at all or tell me my card is lame or a little bit cringe like here.

I haven't photographed the back of the card, but it has two, 3.5cm x 17cm panels to write on. I left them unstamped so I could write a message to my mum that all the kids signed as well.

Stampin' Up! Quick and Simple Striped Background Birthday Card

Our thirtieth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is night of navy from the neutrals collection. I have chosen night of navy, rich razzleberry and coastal cabana from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 


For my card today, I decided to create a striped background with my trio of colours from the colour coach and focus on gold and white elements to not distract from the busyness of the background.
To create a quick and easy stripe background, use the adhesive sheets and pre cut all your strips ahead of time. I needed 8 of each colour and had excess to cut off! My strips are 1/4" wide which is approx. 6mm.
I die cut the letters H and B from my electronic die cutting machine and popped them up using foam adhesive tape. I stamped happy birthday in black staz on on the gold foil and punched it out using the classic label punch and also popped it up with foam adhesive tape. I finished off the card with night of navy faux resin dots. 


Inside card - I used more of the excess striped background and another ballon plus another stamp from itty bitty birthdays stamp set
