Stampin' Up! Whisky Business Sending You An Old Fashioned Birthday Card

Today's masculine Monday card features a Z fold card with the Whiskey Business stamp set. I again added a glass look to the whiskey decanter just like I did here. I used in good taste DSP along with the stitched rectangles dies. A pretty quick and simple card to make once you had all your images stamped.

Stampin' Up! Ice Cream Corner DSP Z Fold Thank You Cards

Late last month on my Facebook business page I posted an image of Ice Cream Corner DSP I was fussy cutting while waiting for my two eldest kids after school. (They both happened to have an after school Maths SACs on the same day.) 


This is one of the many Z fold thank you cards I made with the fussy cut images.

Stampin' Up! Stamping Challenge #1 with Bonanza Buddies

This colour challenge was posted on the international Stampin' Up! demonstrator group. It is Stamping Challenge #1 if you need some inspiration (a new one is posted each Friday, Australian time). The colours are Terracotta Tile, Grapefruit Grove, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.
You can use (or follow) the #keepstamping on social media.


I have used Grapefruit Grove, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay on my z fold card (I also snuck in some smoky slate and whisper white as well.) A lot of the colours from the stamping challenge can be found in the birthday bonanza designer series paper which I used.

Stampin' Up! Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set, Dies & Lily Impressions DSP Birthday Card

Today I am sharing a z fold birthday card I made featuring a bundle of Lily products from the sale-a-bration catalogue. A lot of these products are available for free when you purchase $90 worth of Stampin' Up! products and the lily pad dies is the only exception that requires a $180 purchase. I  love how they all coordinate and made this card come together easily. I also snuck in the sentiment from "The Gang's All Meer" which is yet another sale-a-bration freebie. 


Close up of the lily, I 3D by cutting out the top layer and raised up with stampin' dimensionals.


Z fold cards are quick and easy cards that are a simple wow with not a lot of extra effort or cardstock and always look great. When did you last make one?

Stampin' Up! Wedding Card featuring Come Sail Away DSP

My daughter has a wedding to go to recently and I volunteered to make her a card. Knowing the bride was wearing a pink dress I tried to work that into the card along with a few other details. Here's what I came up with:


I thought the pink dress looked a bit plain on it's own so I added textured with the country floral 3D embossing folder and petal pink inkpad and sponge dauber. I also loved using a sheet of designer series paper from what your would call a traditional masculine pack of designer series paper (come sail away) but it is a more subtle pattern and almost looks like wallpaper in the background. The come sail away designer series paper is one of the 10 packs of paper that are available on the buy 3, get 1 free DSP special this month. The special ends on September 30th. If you would like to grab some come sail away DSP and some others, shop now here.

Stampin' Up! New Annual Catalogue Blog Hop

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative products using supplies from the upcoming 2019 - 2020 annual catalogue. If you would like a copy of the brand new annual catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.

You may have come to my blog from Tina Gillespie. Blog hops are full circles, so start blog hopping here and at the end of my post (and everyone else's) there is a link to the next post. 

I have chosen to showcase the "It Starts With Art Bundle" for today's blog hop and I am only using the 'it starts with art' cling mount stamp set and arts and crafts dies and the follow your art designer series paper but there is much more in the product suite. I'd love to show you the inside of the catalogue right now, but I can't showcase that online just yet! 
When you get your catalogue this product suite can be found on page 53 and it includes what I have listed above and a stunning embossing folder called button button, an embellishment kit featuring felt accents, charms and more, the sweetest little mini shipping boxes and washi tape. There is a lot in this product suite I tell you! 

Here's a sneak peak of the embossing folder, the embellishment kit box along with some of the product on the outside of the box, the mini shipping boxes and the washi tape. These photos are all from the Demonstrator only event (OnStage) I attended in Auckland last month and some were taken on the big screen (hence the fingers in photos).


Moving on to my creation for the blog post. I made a z fold card that with stamped images that I coloured the with stampin' blends and filled in some blank spots with basic rhinestone jewels as it not only filled in the blank spots but it also echoed the sentiment.


I did not use a sentiment on the inside of the card, as I wanted to keep the card neutral for any occasion for a crafting friend. 


Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the very talented, Vicki Boucher.

Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas #12 2018

Today I have a Z fold card to share featuring the Santa's workshop memories and more card pack. Not only are they fabulous for pocket style scrapbooking but they also make some quick and easy cards. I love the simple bling of the striped background paper on the "z" fold panel and the extra wow it brings to the card. There is absolutely no stamping on todays card at all either, the Merry Christmas sentiment is a sticker I used from the card pack that I have popped up on stampin' dimensionals. 


Claire is hosting the Heart of Christmas blog hop each week and she has links for all the other ladies participating.

Work of Art Tractor Z Fold Card - Try it Thursday #10

It's been a while since I've created a Try it Thursday card and today's card was inspired by this lovely one from Amanda Bates and I made it a Z fold card for a bit of added pizzazz. I think it is perfect for the hard working farmers in my family. 

I used the timeless textures stamp to add some background texture on my emerald envy cardstock.
