Stampin' Up! For the Record birthday card for music lovers!

April 26, 2022

Hello there. Today I have a treat for anyone who loves music. It's a birthday card I made for my eldest son, who has this year started working in live sound production. Technically he doesn't own a lot of records, but this set is perfect for music lovers and any collector of old records!

The set I have used is For the Record, from the Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue.

I have used a piece of the Tahitian Tide DSP for the background paper, and combined it with Real Red, Basic Black and Basic White.

I embossed the actual record in black embossing powder so it's nice and shiny. I cut it out using the largest circle in the Layering Circle Dies. The red striped piece is a stamp from the set, stamped in Real Red onto Basic White. The black and white piece is a piece of patterned paper from the new Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. The quotes are stamped straight from the stamp set in Tahitian Tide, Stazon Black and Real Red. I have finished off with some Tahitian Tide InColor dots which are coming on May 3rd!

Here's a closer look at the For The Record stamp set. This set won't be carrying over to the new 2022 Annual Catalogue, so if you like it, grab it before the January to June mini catalogue ends in June. You can find this set HERE in my online store.

Here's a couple more samples using this set (these samples are by the Stampin' Up! artists).

Flower Tulips Vellum Thank You Card

April 04, 2022

Hello friends. Today is all about flowers, and tulips at that! I am using the Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips bundle from the 2022 January to June Mini Catalogue. In Australia we are now into Autumn and I will soon be planting my tulips and other bulbs for my Spring and Winter flowers.

The Flowering Tulips bundle includes a stamp set and a set of dies which cuts out images, but also includes some dies to make 3D tulips, including layering petals for three different tulips, the flower stem and leaves.

On this card I have also used the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper. When a paper is quite bold as this one is, I often use vellum to soften some of the paper. That provides me with a focal point for the flower. To adhere the vellum, I used a cotton bud to smear a really thin layer of Multipurpose Glue on the paper until it was just tacky, and then placed the vellum on top. It adheres without the glue being visible through the vellum.

My flower is cut with Petal Pink cardstock and the petals sponged with Poppy Parade, to coordinate with the colours in the paper. My base card is Pool Party. To embellish my card I have used Linen Thread and Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins.

If you like this card, you can still get my Flowering Tulips class as a PDF purchase anywhere worldwide on my Stamp at Home Classes page. It contains step by step instructions and measurements for this card and 5 other Flowering Tulips cards.

The Flowering Tulips stamp set has some great greetings, including the circle greeting I have used.

Colour Creations Week 41 Sahara Sand with Stampin Up Cactus Cuties Bundle

March 23, 2022

Hey friends, welcome to another week of Colour Creations blog hop by the Art with Heart Team. This week we are playing with Sahara Sand.

My card is a super quick and easy one this week, as I was running a bit late to get it created and up on my blog. I had the colour scheme and products in my head though, so it was pretty quick to get it done. I have used the cactus Cuties punch bundle from the 2022 Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue.

I have used Shimmery White for my background and have embossed the front layer with the Painted Texture embossing folder (I used my blending brushes to add dome Sahara Sand ink in the centre before I embossed). The pot is stamped in Sahara Sand, the cactus in Mint Macaron and the flowers in Polished Pink.

Here's a closer look at my colour combination.

The Cactus Cuties punch bundle made cutting out some of the bits for this card super easy. Punch bundles are so quick and easy and I love how reasonably priced they are!

Now it's time to see what the rest of the Art with Heart team girls have done with Sahara Sand. Next up, we have the lovely Christine Blain.

If you get lost along the way, head over to Cathy Proctor's blog as she has the full list of participants on there.

Thanks for checking in today with the Art with Heart Team. See you back here again soon.

Stampin' Up! New Horizon DSP & Grove Dies

March 17, 2022

Hello friends. Today I have a 'hello' card for you. I find these very handy to have on hand to send with catalogues to new customers or just to say hello to team members, friends and family. Today I have used the New Horizons DSP as the star of my card, with some elements from the Grove Dies. Both of these products are new in the 2022 January to June Mini Catalogue.

My base card is Evening Evergreen, and I have just added a layer of the gorgeous New Horizons Designer Series Paper (see below), followed by a couple of die-cut deer from the Grove Dies (see below). I have added a 'Tammy Style Bow' as made famous by the amazing Tammy Wilson of Stamps, Paper, Scissors. I love the added texture this gives the card. My bow contains Evening Evergreen open weave ribbon (cut in half horizontally), the gold metallic twine from the Simply Elegant Trim pack, and Linen Thread. You can find all of these using the links at the end of the post.

I think one of my favourite parts of this card, is the self adhesive pebbles. These Pebble Enamel Embellishments (see below) are fabulous for creating scenes and added texture on your cards.

Let's take a closer look at the products I have used today. Use the links at the end of this post to find each of these items in my online store.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card and seeing these great new products in action.

Quick and Easy Stampin' Up! Abstract Beauty Cards

March 16, 2022

If you are a fan of quick and easy cards, the Stampin' Up! Abstract Beauty products I am going to show you today will be just the thing for you. It is so quick and easy to make this bright bunch of cards using three main products, and your choice of sentiment stamp set.

To start with you need a pack of pre-printed Abstract Beauty Cards and Envelopes. You get 20 cards and envelopes in a pack for just $17.50. There are lots of different designs and colours and each card has a coordinating envelope.

Next up you will need the Abstract Beauty Ephemera Pack for $11.25. This has a bunch of awesome cardstock and vellum die cuts you can use to embellish your cards (you get 2 of each of the ones shown here). Great price too.

Finally there is the coordinating Abstract Beauty DSP and this time it's a new size - 6" x 4". The patterns and colours coordinate perfectly with the other products, and you get 48 6x4" double sided sheets. There's also some gold foiling in there.

There are also some great more neutral designs in this pack which can be used for other projects, like this wedding card I made for my niece and her new husband.

Here's a bit more of a peak at a couple of the cards made with the card and envelope set and ephemera pack.
