Stampin' Up! Legendary Ride Birthday Card

This birthday card with Legendary Ride stamp set and dies is one of the cards made in techniques class recently. Participants made backgrounds using the wheels on toy cards. I certainly had fun getting creative and I think they all did as well.

Stampin' Up! 18th Birthday Card

Today my youngest son turned 18. I made him a simple birthday card using DSP's from 3 packs (which is most unusual for me) and while I was at it I made another card for my card stash.


The DSP's are from Garden Walk, A Walk in the Forest and Broadway Bound Speciality (retired). I also used Artistically Inked stamp set, Alphabet a la mode dies and Big Day stamp set (retired) on the extra card.

Stampin' Up! Brewed For You Birthday Card

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, crushed curry.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations. This week, I have chosen crushed curry, blueberry bushel and gray granite from the colour coach to work with. 

I'm trying to increase my stash of male cards and the colour crushed curry reminds me of beer in a frosted glass at the pub (not that I drink beer) but this is where this card started. Using the colour coach I choose my colour combination based on what I thought I could make work best with a glass (or rather 5 glasses of beer). Alphabet a la mode spell out the word "Happy" and the word birthday is from artistically inked stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Thinking of You Gorgeously Made Offset Gatefold Card

I had a play making an offset gatefold card because I could. Sometimes it is nice to just make a card without needing it for a class or a blog hop. I used Masterfully Made DSP, Gorgeously Made stamp set and Gorgeously Made dies.
Did you know that the Masterfully Made DSP has words from the Stampin' Up! statement of the heart in amongst the floral images?

Stampin' Up! Happy Birthday Card with Faux Embossing Technique with Alphabet A La Mode & Wanted to Say Dies

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, coastal cabana.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen coastal cabana, night of navy and gray granite from the colour coach to work with. 
I've used alphabet a la mode dies to create a numbered background for my happy birthday die cut circle to rest on. The adhesive sheets are a dream to work with for small dies cuts like these. Lots of layering and die cutting on this card and very little to explain but it does create the faux embossing technique which I have created many times before when making a tone on tone background. I did use stampin' dimesionals to pop up the happy birthday sentiment from the layer die cut circles for added depth.

Inside card - I made use of the offcuts to decorate the inside panel along with some full size numbers to fill in the larger spaces 

With envelope - I used the leftover waste from die cutting the numbers to decorate the envelope

Stampin' Up! No Occasion Pansy Dies Card

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, calypso coral.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen calypso coral, wild wheat and mossy meadow from the colour coach to work with today but I really wanted to use the pansy dies and needed to add in some extra colours so picked old olive and petal pink to complete the flowers/leaves. 
Lots of die cutting for this card and I made it plain and simple with no sentiment and rhinestone basic jewels for a small amount of bling. It took 10 passes with the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine to make this card so the adhesive sheets were extreanly handy to complete this card quickly once I had die cut and inked everything. 


Close up - I popped up the front daisy with stampin' dimensionals for added interest

Stampin' Up! Triple Point Card with Wanted to Say Dies

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, blueberry bushel.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.

This week, I have chosen blueberry bushel, granny apple green and real red from the colour coach to work with. 

My original plan was to use blueberry bushel inkpad and a stamp set I haven't given a lot of love to but after opening my inkpad and discovering it was very juicy I changed my plans. These are my hands after cleaning my ink pad up. 

I opted for a simpler card design that required less stamping with a very juicy inkpad.

I made a triple point card with embossed panels using the timeworn type 3D embossing folder which are then matted in Granny Apple Green cardstock. The happy birthday sentiment is from the Wanted to Say dies and is mounted on a basic white Something Fancy die cut. Lots of dimensionals were used to raise up the Happy Birthday die, the Something Fancy die and also the cross point of the triple point card. I finished the card front off with a few basic rhinestones. 
The blueberry bushel carsdtock inside the card is stamped with blueberry bushel ink for a tone on tone look using the "book spiral crayon rubbing" stamp from Gorgeously Made stamp set. I didn't stamp any sentiments inside the card to leave as much room as possible for writing a birthday message.

Stampin' Up! Double Point Card with Shaving Cream Technique and Gorgeously Made Dies

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, blackberry bliss.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen blackberry bliss, lemon lolly and fresh freesia from the colour coach to work with. 

I probably write this time I do the blackberry bliss colour challenge... blackberry bliss is one of my least favourite colours (along with cajun craze) and both of them stayed with the colour refresh we had earlier this year! I rarely ever use this colour and to be honest on when it matches DSP or comes up in one of my cardstock swatches. 
I have created a Double Point Card and made my own DSP with Shaving Cream Technique, and also used the Gorgeously Made Dies. I embossed the background lemon lolly cardstock with Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and used the Something Fancy Dies for the leaf from Gorgeously Made Dies to rest on. The sentiment is from Inked & Tiled stamp set.

Inside card - I kept the inside quite simple with a strip of shaving cream DSP and another die cut leaf


With decorated envelope - again another strip of shaving cream DSP

Stampin' Up! Pocket Front Bubble Bath Card with Wanted to Say dies

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, bubble bath. 
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.

This week, I have chosen bubble bath, pretty peacock and pool party from the colour coach to work with. 


Knowing that 13 packs of DSP are on sale for 15% off this month, I wanted to try and use as many of the DSP's that are on special on my cards this month.
This week, I have used the delightfully eclectic 12" x 12" DSP and I love that I could purchase it for $45.05 AUD (and get demonstrator discount on top of that!) instead of paying $53.00 AUD! 
I have created a pocket front card for my nieces birthday which will be great for stashing money in, a gift card, a note or a scratchie. I have also used the wanted to say dies and have cut my die cut in half to create a long die cut. I love that is makes it more versatile and created a whole new look. I finished off the card with circle die cuts and the numbers 1 & 6 in silver foil for some bling and also used some basic rhinestone jewels.

Stampin' Up! Hello Card with Sweet Symmetry DSP from the Clearance Rack

I saw a starburst card on TikTok made by Megan Daves and it inspired me to use up some Sweet Symmetry scraps I had floating on my desk. I haven't made a starburst card in so long and I had forget how much fun they are to make. My scraps were 1 1/4" wide before I cut them in half but were too pretty to just throw away. I'm glad I had saved them as I just love my finished card. I even used the extra leftover pieces and patchworked a pattern on the envelope flap.
Did you know that you can still purchase Sweet Symmetry DSP from the Clearance rack at the amazing price of $8 for 12, 12" x 12" DSP sheets!
