Stampin' Up! Rings of Love DSP Birthday Card

I am crazy and find fussy cutting relaxing and saw the rings of love DSP as a perfect chance to get some fussy cutting in. You can earn the rings of love DSP for free (along with other products) if you place a $90+ order this month (ends on Wednesday August 31st, which is just days away!)   


The mandala image (which is on the backside of the houses DSP) was crying out to be layered in my opinion and I popped each layer up with stampin' dimensionals. I also cut out small sections on the side/edge of the DSP and use them on the envelope and inside the card. Using the adhesive sheets on the back of the DSP before you fussy cut the image out allows the to become a sticker and means adhering the image is a breeze.

My layered mandala image is adhered onto a layering circles die cut and it is on a painted textured embossed background. I have used retired Holiday Rhinestone basic jewels on the mandala image as they were the perfect colour and a touch of bling. I stamped a simple happy birthday sentiment from Cottage Rose stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Wonderful World Birthday Card

I had a quick play with the wonderful world stamp set (a sale-a-bration level 2 stamp set which also comes with a pack of 12" x 12" DSP) and came up with this birthday card. My card has tone on tone stamping in the background and markers direct to rubber on the basic white cardstock. I've used the distressed gold speciality paper for the first time and I love how it lifts the card. I will certainly be using that again for sure.

Stampin' Up! Triple Diamond Point Birthday Card with Perfect Pomegranate Stamp Set

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, calypso coral and garden green from the colour coach to work with. 
I have created a birthday card by CASEing the sale-a-bration brochure. The card shown below (in the bottom right hand corner) is from the 2022 sale-a-bration brochure, 16 ©2020 Stampin' Up!®. 


I stamped the floral base images in crushed curry onto basic white cardstock. I used crumb cake banners under the birthday sentiment. All the leaves (in garden green and granny apple green) and the smaller flowers (calypso coral) are fussy cut and placed randomly. The sentiment is stamped from Nature's Prints and die cut from Painted Labels dies. The DSP used in the triple diamond point is from Rustic Harvest DSP from the July - December mini catalogue.

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

Try it Thursday #24 - Triple Diamond Point Card with Trees for Sale Stamp Set & Tree Lot Dies

I was cruising 'round Facebook the other day and saw this cracker of a card that fellow Aussie SU demo Linda Dalke made and I fell in love with it. I did my best to recreate her card and added it onto a Triple Diamond Point card for some added wow. The card uses Trees for Sale stamp set from the July - December mini catalogue and it also coordinates with the Tree Lots dies that are available as a sale-a-bration freebie if you spend $180+. Sale-a-bration freebies begin on orders from $90+.

A tip that saved on die cutting the caravan many times over, I used a sharpie (black and silver) to colour in the caravan tyre and jockey wheel so I didn't have to keep on die cutting the caravan many times over.  

My card measures 6" x 6" so I made a custom envelope to suit and of course I had to decorate the envelope, along with the inside of the card.

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.
