Stampin' Up! Friendly Hello Best Wishes Card

I was unsure where to start with the friendly hello DSP when I received it so I turned to the sale-a-bration catalogue for inspiration. The cards shown below are from the 2022 Sale-A-Bration brochure, page 13 ©2022 Stampin' Up!®.


My card today is a CASE of the one in the centre, with the wording "You have my love and support".

I stamped the friendly hello DSP with the friendly hello stamp set and fussy cut the DSP before adhering it onto vellum cardstock. The vellum cardstock has been layered onto striped DSP which I inked the edges using sahara sand ink. I layered the DSP onto pool party cardstock and adhered it all onto fresh freesia card base. A stamped sentiment from artistically inked and die cut in layered circles dies along with rhinestone basic jewels finished off the card front. 

Stamping the floral images in pool party on basic white and an offcut of the striped DSP finished off the inside of the card.  If you want to grab any of the products I have mentioned, I have included a shopping list at the end of the post.

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! Delicate Dahlias Thanks Card

Today, we have week 15 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 Tina Gillespie's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, daffodil delight. 
I have chosen daffodil delight, blackberry bliss and cajun craze from the colour coach to work from this week. 

For my card today, I have created a thank you card using the free delicate dahlias stamp set that is 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 dahlia in blackberry bliss, cajun craze and daffodil delight, (twice in daffodil delight so I could fussy cut and layer it) and stamped the outline image in memento ink. The leaves were stamped in old olive and memento inks. The thanks sentiment is heat embossed in white embossing powder and is from the biggest wish stamp set. I used the stitched greenery die on the background of the basic black cardstock. The gems are leftovers from the Notes of Cheer kit.

Stampin' Up Angled Fold Delicate Baubles Christmas Card with Peaceful Prints DSP

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 Michele Taylor's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

Today, I have an angled fold Christmas card featuring delicate baubles dies and peaceful prints DSP. I have also used the be dazzling speciality paper. The peaceful prints DSP and be dazzling specialty paper are both available for free when you spend $90 or more on any Stampin' Up! products from August 3rd - September 30th. I really love them both and in case you haven't noticed have been using them A LOT!
For my angled card I created a base in sahara sand cardstock, inspired from the peaceful prints DSP and created a strip design from some offcuts of DSP. To complete the left hand side, I used a delicate baubles die and die cut in snowy white velvet sheets (from the July - December mini catalogue) and of course adding adhesive sheets to the velvet sheet before die cutting. A basic rhinestone jewel was added to the centre of the snowflake and a joy sentiment added to the bottom of the card front. 
On the right hand side of the card front I went with a sheet of DSP so it was a toned down a little (compared to the strip design).


Close up


Inside card - I used leftover pieces of DSP from the card front to decorate the inside and I also cut another snowflake bauble. I used paper snips to cut away the excess portions of the bauble I didn't want. 


Up next we have Caroline Manwaring. I can't wait to see what she is sharing.
