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! Triple Point Textures & Frames Birthday Card

Today, we have week 18 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 Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, garden green. 
I have chosen garden green, melon mambo and coastal cabana from the colour coach to work from this week. I also added in some so saffron and basic gray. 

For my card tonight, I used the sale-a-bration products textures and frames stamp set and be dazzling speciality paper. If you are wanting to grab your own textures and frames stamp set, dazzling speciality paper or any of the other sale-a-bration products, sale-a-bration ends tomorrow, Thursday September 30th so get your orders in ASAP, to earn your free products.

I have made a triple point birthday card. I love the playfulness of the textures and frames stamp set and it creates some great backgrounds and I think it suits a triple point card well. I embossed my garden green cardstock with merry melody 3D embossing folder to play on the birthday theme. It is a great Christmas embossing folder but I very much like it for birthdays. I've used holiday rhinestone basic jewels on the garden green cardstock for some added bling as well. Later on you will see I have also stamped the envelope with the textures and frames stamp set. Very easy to do when you have the stamps and ink pads out when you are making the card.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Prints Pocket Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

My card today is a CASE from fellow SU demo, Libby Fens in Canada. Her original design is a double pocket card but I have only made mine a single pocket today.
I have scored my DSP and adhered it to a real red card base, and then die cut out the layering circles dies from basic black cardstock and gold foil. They are adhered together and popped up with stampin' dimensionals. A reindeer has been fussy cut from the Peaceful Prints DSP and adhered onto the layered/scalloped circles. Stampin' Up! also sells a deer builder punch for $31 that coordinates perfectly with this DSP and a stamp set in the July - December mini catalogue but I don't own it (hence the fussy cutting). I have heat embossed a sentiment from Be Jolly sentiment and used stampin' dimensionals to pop that up as well at the bottom right of the card. Brushed metallic adhesive-baked dots have finished the pocket card off. You will notice, I have fussy cut out another reindeer and used it to decorate the insert. I have also used additional DSP to cover the back flap of the envelope.

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.

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

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.

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.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Whimsy Shaker Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Tina Gillespie's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

I begun with the Christmas Whimsy card kit for today's card and altered it slightly. I stamped the snow scene with the star stamp in night of navy ink and then cut the front panel of the card apart and placed it inside a clear envelope with some glitter. I cut a gold frame from gold foil to put over my shaker panel and adhered it all onto poppy parade card. The die cut elements where added onto the shaker panel after everything was adhered in place.
If you were to recreate this card, you will need gold foil, clear envelopes, glitter and poppy parade cardstock, oh and the Christmas Whimsy card kit. That is where the bulk of the materials came from. Even the night of navy ink, dimesionals and the clear block! I love kits that are stocked with some many supplies. I just can't help changing the card up and adding a Ros touch to them.

These are the supplies that come in the Christmas Whimsy card kit for $33. Enough supplies to make 8 cards, 4 each of 2 designs.


Here's my shaker card:


Even though I changed the card up, it still fits into the card supplied in the card kit. Isn't the gold lined envelope gorgeous? 


Inside card - Even the sentiment for the inside of the card comes from the card kit. 


Close up of the sentiments included in the Christmas Whimsy card kit

Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Leaves For You Card

Today, we have week 16 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, early espresso. 
I have chosen early esspresso, coastal cabana and garden green from the colour coach to work from this week. 
My card today was CASED from the July - December 2021 mini catalogue, page 70 ©2020 Stampin' Up!® or I have it shown just below.


I have stamped the leaves from gorgeous leaves stamp set in garden green and coastal cabana and die cut them out with intricate leaves dies. I also die cut out other leaf shapes in garden green, coastal cabana and cherry cobbler. Branches were cut in early espresso and a large maple shaped leaf in brushed metallic cardstock. Playful alphabet dies were die cut with foam adhesive sheets on the back so they would be popped up on the card. Remember when using fine die cuts, use adhesive sheets to make them easy to adhere in place. The brushed metallic adhesive backed dots were added as the finishing touch to the card front. 


Close up/side view


Inside card - The dotted stamp is stamped with the first impression stamped off on scrap paper and then the second on the basic white cardstock (so a lighter image appears). A stamped leaf and die cut finishes off the inside of the card.
