Stampin' Up! Split Panel Delicate Baubles 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 Michele Talyor's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card today, I have created a split panel card featuring delicate baubles dies. It also features the be dazzling specialty paper and peaceful prints designer series paper. Both available for free when you spend $90 or more on any Stampin' Up! products from August 3rd - September 30th.
The baubles are die cut from be dazzling speciality paper and to fill in the sections on my delicate baubles dies I used garden green, balmy blue and daffodil delight cardstock with adhesive sheets on the back of the cardstock.
To mimic the be dazzling specialty paper, I used silver foil to matt my green peaceful prints designer series paper. You can get three different silver foils in a speciality pack seen in page 23 of the July - December mini catalogue. 
The sentiment is typed and printed on my computer as I didn't have one in the right size (Copperplate font, size 12).

Stampin' Up! Summer Shadows Hello Card

Today, we have week 13 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, crumb cake.
I have chosen crumb cake, calypso coral and granny apple green from the colour coach to work from this week. 

Today's card features summer shadows dies in a tone on tone colourway way and uses the faux embossing technique. Each die cut piece has been cut with adhesive sheets adhered on the back and inked before being adhered in place. The sentiment is from the biggest wish stamp set and die cut from the messages die. I kept the card front extremely basic for me and have just embellished with pearl basic jewels.

Stampin' Up! Diagonal Double Pocket Card with Sale-a-bration 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 Judy May's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card today, I created a diagonal double pocket card focusing on the sale-a-bration peaceful prints designer series paper. I also used the fabulous be dazzling speciality paper. Both of the products are available for free when you spend $90 or more on any Stampin' Up! products from August 3rd - September 30th.
I've also used the be jolly stamp set, layering circles dies and messages die and a few stampin' blends. I love this style of card because it allows to heaps of room to write a lovely personalised note and a spot to put my annual yearly newsletter. For my photos today, I reprinted my 2020 newsletter because this years newsletter isn't quite ready! LOL  
The diagonal pocket would also be a great spot to stash money, gift card, Tattslotto ticket or something like that!

Stampin' Up! Counting Sheep Christmas 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! 

For my card today, it is a CASE from a card I saw on the Stampin' Up! Instagram page. This is the original card.


I loved the playfulness of the sheep on the Christmas card. I don't think my card looks as playful, I think mine has a more country feel but I love being able to make the counting sheep stamp set look festive.

I've inked the edges of all die cuts, designer series paper and cardstock with matching inks. I stamped "holly jolly wishes" stamp set on crumb cake cardstock and  used banners pick a punch to create flag ends. I created the "circles" for the hats on the sheep by using the "number 8" die from the playful alphabet dies. The circles are the middle of the 8 leftover when the die is cut.   


I have used four products from the sale-a-bration brochure on this card, counting sheep stamp set, sheep dies, peaceful prints designer series paper and be dazzling speciality paper. All are available for free with a purchase of $90 or more.

Stampin' Up! Gilded Leafing Techniques Class with Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper

There seems to be a trend in late blogging of techniques classes this year! Here is Februrary's class (and tomorrow I will post this months class!)
In February we focused on using the Gilded Leaving Technique and used it with tear and tape and also with the heat and stick powder. As always, class participants made two cards and a sample piece. 


The first card features a few products on the Last Chance List, well written dies (which have now sold out), layering oval dies, terracotta tile cardstock and pretty peacock cardstock. 


The second card is a remake of my Old Olive colour creations card and uses the retiring stitched nested labels die. 

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! Just to Say Hello Corner Bouquet Card

I used the corner bouquet (sale-a-bration free stamp set) to create todays card. I set the larger corner stamp up in my stamparatus and stamped the stamp in one corner of my misty moonlight cardstock (in misty moonlight ink) and then rotated the cardstock 180 degrees and re-inked the stamp and stamped the cardstock again. This was a very quick and easy card to make as all I had left to do was stamp the sentiment and die cut it out and assemble the card (and I did stamp the inside panel of my card before I unmounted the stamp. It is stamped in sahara sand ink.

Stampin' Up! You Are Amazing Birthday Card

Our thirty seventh colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "pretty peacock" from the 2019 - 2021 in colour collection. I have chosen pretty peacock, flirty flamingo and daffodil delight from the colour coach to work with today for my creation and I have also added in granny apple green.

I have made a striped background using strips of cardstock (in various widths) and adhesive sheets to hold the strips in place. I used the stitched so sweetly dies and happy dies to decorate the card front along with the you are amazing stamp set. A quick and simple card front yet it's bold and fun!


Inside card - I used the approaching perfecting stamp set stamped in memento ink

Stampin Up Darling Donkey Cards with Free Instructions

Have you seen the sale-a-bration brochure with the Darling Donkey card samples? If not, you can see them here on pages 4 & 5.
Anyhow, I CASED all four of the cards and used products I had at home to recreate them.

Here's my take on them:

I've used darling donkey stamp set, brights designer series paper, stampin' blends and faux resin dots as my main products to work with. 

You're the best! card


I decorated the inside of all the cards, much the same as each another. With a basic donkey outline image (no colouring) and I used excess DSP to decorate the inside where possible.

Inside of the You're the best! card


Hee Haw! It's your birthday! card


Hey there, friend... It's your birthday! card


Hey there, friend card
