Stampin' Up! Dandelion Wishes and Tasteful Textures Mashup Card

30/10/2020

1 Comment

 
I've made this card for a stamping friend who has had a tough medical diagnosis this year.  I know she loves the Pretty Peacock colour and feathers, so I had to incorporate them into the design. 
Picture
Her blog logo has a two-toned feather similar to the ones I made.  To get this effect I inked the feathers in Crumb Cake ink, then used a Sponge Dauber to add Pretty Peacock ink over most of the stamp, leaving just a bit of the Crumb Cake showing.  Then I fussy-cut the feathers...thank goodness for the super-sharp Paper Snips with that very fine point!

I decided to use 2 pieces of the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper.  They have the same scroll design on a Pretty Peacock background, but one is in Night of Navy and the other is in Copper Foil.  I also added the Copper ribbon from the Basket Weave and Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack to the centre of the Pretty Peacock ½" Scalloped Linen Ribbon.  More of that ribbon makes a bow, and I pulled out the now-retired Copper Metallic Thread to add a tousle behind the feathers.

The label pieces are cut with the Tasteful Labels dies.  I cut the Crumb Cake label in half horizontally and spread it apart to make it more visible behind the Whisper White label.

I know my friend will recognise the personalised touches I put into her card, and hope it will bring a smile to her day.  Isn't it fun we can make cards that are as unique as the individuals we send them to?

Stampin' Up! Stitched Rectangles CASE-ing Tuesday #275

29/10/2020

0 Comments

 
These are the projects I made on my Facebook Live video this week.  You can watch the replay on YouTube or Facebook.

A quick reminder for friends in North America who will be changing their clocks this weekend:  it will affect what time I will go live next Wednesday!  Double-check and make a reminder on your paper or electronic calendar so you don't miss out.
Picture
The first card is a simpler version, while the second is more stepped-up, with the ribbon and extra layers.
Picture
This week I used the sketch at CASE-ing Tuesday, a sketch challenge based on samples in the current Stampin' Up! catalogues.   This week's sketch is based on a picture in the Mini Catalogue on page 81.

Stampin' Up! Tasteful Touches Pop Up Card

27/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Last Friday I attended an online crafting class taught may my "sister" demo on Kylie's team, Carolina Evans.  She taught us to make this fun fold card that she adapted from one by Debbie Mageed.  I adapted Carolina's design to make use of the supplies I had.
Picture
I decided to use a piece of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper on my card base.  This is one of the paper packs that's on sale through the end of the week! (see details below) The flower is coated in Wink of Stella glitter-y goodness, which doesn't show up on camera.  You can see how the card is engineered in this pic:
Picture
And it folds flat to fit in an envelope!

Normally I'd give you the measurements here, but since Carolina modified the design a bit I'll refer you to her site if you want to make it in centimetres (A4), and to Debbie's site for inches (Letter).  You can see by both examples that the possibilities for this design are endless!  If you give it a go please send me pictures...I love to see what you create!

Here's what I used to make this card...remember you can click on any pic to purchase that item at my online store.

Stampin' Up! Beauty Abounds Friendship Is More Card

23/10/2020

0 Comments

 
This card was inspired by one posted online somewhere...I whizzed past it, barely noting it, but it stuck with me because I had to sit down and create this.  I can't even remember any details of the original, just the impression of the colourful dots.

​It's fun to go back to the basics of just stamps, paper and ink!
Picture
Picture
You can re-create this using any colours you have at hand.  I used Highland Heather, Just Jade and Memento Tuxedo Black.  Beauty Abounds is the stamp set used.  Easy-peasy!  I went back-and-forth on whether to add a few rhinestones, but elected to keep it truly simple.

​Here are the supplies I used - remember you can click on any image to go to my online store.

Alcohol and Ink Backgrounds

22/10/2020

0 Comments

 
These are the projects from my Facebook Live video this week.  You can watch the video on replay on YouTube or Facebook.   Apologies for the distraction and noise caused by Noah, the 9.5 week old Seeing Eye Dog puppy in training. He does eventually fall asleep and I can get on with business.  

The basic idea is to scribble with the brush end of Stampin' Blends Markers on the largest clear block, spritz with 90-99% isopropyl alcohol* and pick up the ink with a piece of Window Sheet.  It dries very quickly, and then you can re-spray the block and pick up some more ink.  When it gets too dilute or muddy, spritz and wipe down the block and repeat with the same or another colour as you wish.  You really will need to watch the video to see the technique.

Once the Window Sheet is dry you can turn it over and add punched or die-cut pieces, or stamp with Staz-On ink (classic ink will not work on the plastic).  

* A note on the isopropyl alcohol:  In the U.S. it's pretty easy to pick up 90% rubbing alcohol at the drugstore.  It will work better than 70%, though you can give that a try if you can't find the 90%.  In Australia the only thing I've found in chemists or supermarkets is Isocol, which I think is 64% alcohol plus some other ingredients.  I didn't find that it worked well.  At Jaycar (an electronics store that reminds me of Radio Shack in the U.S.) I was able to get the 99.8% isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle that works a treat!  I would think that electronics stores like Frys.com in the U.S. would have it, and I know it's easily available on Amazon, and your pharmacist might be able to get you some as well.

Stampin' Up! Love of Leaves Friendship Card

20/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Over the weekend I had another play with the Love of Leaves bundle while Noah (the 9-week-old Seeing Eye Dog puppy we're caring for) took a good nap.  

One of my favourite things about this bundle is the optional stitched inner die that adds such great detail and texture to the leaves.  Another favourite thing is that when you buy the bundle of stamps and dies together you save 10% off buying them individually!
Picture
This colour palette is very representative of Melbourne this weekend...it was cloudy, grey and chilly, but there's evidence of Spring popping out everywhere in the leaves, grass and flowers.  I stamped the leaves with their respective ink colours on cardstock: Pear Pizzazz, Calypso Coral, So Saffron and Old Olive.  The card base and sentiment are Gray Granite, and the DSP is In Good Taste.

Once I had the leaves and sentiment stamped and die-cut, I arranged them how I liked and used Glad Press N Seal to flip them over and apply Stampin' Dimensionals to the back.   Here's an example of how I use the Dimensionals to adhere the leaves together into one element to be placed on the card:
Picture
I also added a length of the 3/16" Braided Linen Trim to the back of the leaves with a bit of sticky tape and unravelled the ends.  Then I removed the Dimensional backings and flipped it all over to place where I wanted it on the card front.  A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels and it was complete!

Here's the list of supplies that link directly to my Stampin' Up! store.  Make a purchase under $25o using this Host Code at checkout (UYAHNWPT) and I'll send you a gift.  If your order is $250 or more you'll earn Stampin' Rewards and get to choose your own gift!

Jade Wreath Merry Monday Week 3

19/10/2020

Here's this week's project:
Picture
I have looked at the Arrange A Wreath Bundle for quite a while, and finally decided to purchase it.  Like all of SU!'s current dies, it cuts and embosses beautifully, and is fun to play with.

I liked the one Whisper White layer with the 2 Just Jade layers well enough, but adding the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels took it to the next level! Fortunately there are 220 in the pack, LOL.  

​Here's everything used on this card:
