Stampin' Up! Seaside Bay Bundle Instant Download 5 Card Class

My latest instant download class using the 2023 Stampin' Up! Seaside Bay Bundle / By the Bay Suite has been added to my PDF store. Get full colour pictures, step by step instructions and measurements in imperial or metric to make 5 gorgeous ocean themed cards.

You will love the soft soothing colours and beautiful imagery in these cards. They are all designed by me and feature my signature layered and embellished style.

Purchase HERE  (with immediate download) now from anywhere in the world using for $15AUD (around $10USD). 

Here's another card I made using the Seaside Bay Bundle / By the Bay suite. This one didn't make the cut for the class, but I wanted to show it to you. This is a really versatile bundle and can be used with other ocean themed products we have such as the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder that I have used here.

Here's a closer look at the By the Bay Designer Series Paper too, It's one of the 6x6" paper packs (you get 48 sheets, 4 sheets each of 12 double sided designs). The coordinating colours are Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Mint Macaron, Coastal Cabana, Pool Party, Sahara Sand, Gold Foil and Pearlised Specialty Paper. It's a specialty paper and one side of the designs has sections with a pearlised and gold foil effect.

Even though Crumb Cake isn't one of the coordinating papers, I really liked how it coordinated so I went with that as the base card and stamped greeting.

I have carried through with the touches of metallic gold by adding in some of the gold metallic twine from the Simply Elegant Trim Combo. My birthday sentiment is from the Something Fancy stamp set in the January to April Mini Catalogue.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you are having a great day. 

Claire

Winner for Giveaway, plus Stampin Up In The Country Saleabration birthday cards.

Hello friends,

I hope this finds you well and happy. Apologies for the delay in getting back here. 10 days ago I tripped over coming out of the garden and landed on some cement slabs with my wrist extended, and well you know the rest. I've broken my wrist and have done some ligament damage and I'm in a brace / cast for 6 weeks. I'm slowly adjusting to what I can and can't do, so it will only be simple creations from me for the next little while.

I did manage to make two cards on the weekend with a little help though! More on that in a tic. First I wanted to announce the winner of a competition I held for my purchasing customers.

Winner Announcement

The winner of the Scenic Garden Host Set was Beryl Kierce. Thanks to everyone who played along.

 

Stampin' Up! Saleabration In the Country and Favoured Flowers

Saleabration ends in just 6 days, so I wanted to remind you not to miss out on getting your free products with orders. For these samples, I have used two of my favourite Saleabration products, the In the Country stamp set and Favoured Flowers DSP. I love the imagery in this stamp set. Even just simply stamped, I find it really peaceful.

I have stamped the images in Sahara Sand (and used the same colour for the base card). Sahara Sand blends beautifully with the colours in the Favoured Flowers DSP. I have also used Early Espresso for the greetings (and this stamp is from Something Fancy in the January to April mini catalogue).

Here's a closer look at the two Saleabration items used in these cards. 

 

These are just 2 of the 19 FREE products still available to choose from with orders of $90 or $190 before the end of business on February 28th.

Thanks for checking in today. I'm hoping to be able to do a couple of posts a week even with my wrist in the brace, but lets see how I go.

Have a great week and enjoy the last days of Saleabration,

Claire

Stampin Up Saleabration 2023: Dainty Flowers DSP Gift Card Set

Hello friends. 

Today I wanted to show you a gift set of cards I made using the Dainty Fkowers DSP which you can earn for FREE during Saleabration with orders of $90 before postage. It has beautiful floral imagery on a white background on white side with solid or monochromatic patterns on the reverse and it coordinates with the Dainty Delight bundle from the new 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue. The coordinating Stampin' Up! colours are Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and Starry Sky.

Here's a look at the packaged up gift set of cards I made for a friend as part of her Christmas present. To package them up, I made a belly band using some of the DSP and then tied up with twine. I then used another sheet of the DSP (the one with the 6 floral ovals) and made a cover piece to attach over the belly band. The letter was cut using the new Alphabet Al a Carte dies in the Stampin' Up! 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue.

For the cards, I used this sheet of the DSP for 6 card fronts which I adhered to cardstock base cards in Fresh Freesia, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizazz.

For the sentiments, I used the Happy Birthday stamp from the Something Fancy stamp set in the 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue.

For the inside of each card I just attached a small strip of DSP to coordinate.

2023 January to April Mini Catalogue & Saleabration have commenced.

Hello friends. Happy New Year! I'm wishing all the good things for my readers this year: good health, some times of peace and calm, and lots of creative time of course! I took some time off in December and over the Christmas & New Year period to catch up with family and friends, spend some time at the coast with my boys and their friends and just to hang out at home. I really enjoyed it. I hope you got to make some happy memories too.

 

We are kicking off 2023 with Saleabration, our biggest promotion of the year, and a brand new mini catalogue. The Stampin' Up! January to April Mini Catalogue has commenced. You may have noticed from the title that this one goes for 4 months not 6. That will give us some time to focus just on the 2023 Annual Catalogue when it's released in early May. I like that idea I think. As usual there are lots of inspiring new products to play with, so have a look!

2023 Stampin' Up! January Mini Catalogue Sneak Peek: Fancy Floral DSP

Hey friends. Today I want to show you one of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin' Up! 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue. It's called Fancy Flora DSP, and it has a gorgeous painted texture look with exquisite papers. It will be available to purchase from January 5th. This paper will be an excellent one to coordinate with many of your existing floral stamp sets too. In addition the the beautiful imagery, the reverse of each sheet has a really versatile coordinating monochromatic painted image. Isn't it gorgeous? I especially love that it coordinates with one of my favourite InColors from 2022 - Orchid Oasis.

Here's a look at all of the coordinating colours.

 

Here's a fun fold card I made with this paper, and an existing stamp set we all know and love - Artistically Inked which is in the Stampin' Up! Annual catalogue. 

I'm not quite sure of the name of this fold. I cased a card my lovely friend Sharon Davern gave me. It's nifty how it folds out though. 

I added some Wink of Stella to the flowers for a little extra. I've also used some of the new Iridescent Pastel Gems which are part of the new Fancy Flora Suite available on January 5th.

If you don't already have a demonstrator in Australia and would like a copy of the new 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue, you can request a copy HERE.
