2023 Christmas Card + September to December Mini Catalogue Products Shares

August 21, 2023

Happy Monday crafty friends. Today I have another 2023 Stampin' Up! Christmas card for you with a mix of existing products and a sneak peek of a DSP in the 2023 September to December Mini Catalogue.

Stampin Up 2023 Christmas Catalogue Products Shares

Let me tell you I am in love with so many of the Christmas Designer Series Papers in this years 2023 Stampin Up September to December Mini catalogue. There is a really nice mix of styles and the colours are gorgeous - some bright, some muted. A great way to get a bit of all of them is to participate in my 2023 Stampin Up Christmas Product Shares. There are individual shares for papers, specialty papers and ribbon, and the shares start at just $28. You can also save 10% if you want them all. Get all the details and register online HERE. Registration is open until September 5th.

The paper I have used on this card is called Winter Meadow, which has a beautiful color palette of Misty Mauve, Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve, Pebbled Path, Blueberry Bushel, Garden Green and Smoky Slate. It's one that I found quite easy to create with for a southern hemisphere Christmas, despite the name suggesting winter. It's more about Christmas foliage (it's the one shown on the right in the shares advertisement above. This piece in particular works really well with the Grove Dies which were a carryover in the 2023 Annual Catalogue (and coordinates with the Grassy Grove stamp set). You will be able to purchase the paper when the Christmas catalogue goes live on 6th September.

To get some texture on my die-cut, I have used the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder after I die cut the grove piece.

My cardstock colour is Pebbled Path (my favourite in the 2023 InColors, although the more I use them the more I love them all!). I think gold looks great with this colour to add a bit of a festive touch, so I have added some gold sequins from the Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins, along with some gold metallic trim, from the Simply Elegant Trim pack. The sentiment is from Christmas Classics stamp set which is a new stamp set in the 2023 Stampin' Up! September to December Mini Catalogue (it will be available September 6th).

If you want to save this for a Christmas card idea, here's an image to pin.

Stampin' Up! Inked and Tiled Bundle / Inked Botanicals Suite

June 28, 2023

Just two days left for the Stampin' Up! 15% off selected DSP's sale, so I wanted to show you a card featuring a really gorgeous paper that's on special, called Inked Botanicals. I have used the coordinating Inked and Tiled stamp set on this card too. This suite is new in the 2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. I've included the measurements below so you can easily recreate this card.

Let's have a closer look at the gorgeous Inked Botanicals DSP. The coordinating Stampin' Up! colours are Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink and Pool Party. Isn't it beautiful? It's a 6x6" pack, so you get 48 sheets - 4 of each of the double sided designs shown.

I stamped the leaf image (from the coordinating Inked and Tiled stamp set) in Lost Lagoon, and then stamped again without reinking. I have used Iridescent Pastel Gems and Linen Thread for embellishments.

The sentiment from inked and tiled is embossed on white onto Lost Lagoon, and both the stamped panel and sentiment label are popped up with Dimensionals.

Card Measurements

The base card is a top folding standard card (1/2 A4 and folded) in Crushed Curry. Here are the measurements for the other pieces on the card:

Base DSP layer: 14.5 x 10.2cm
Crushed Curry DSP piece: 13.3 x 5.0cm
Calypso Coral piece: 11.5cm x 5.0cm
Basic White cardstock: 6.3cm x 9.8cm
Lost Lagoon mat: 6.5cm x 10cm
Lost Lagoon sentiment piece: 4.5cm x 1.0cm with a small banner end on the right hand side.

Here's a closer look at the Inked and Tiled stamp set. It's a really beautiful stamp set and the sentiments are gorgeous! Really useful sentiments in a beautiful font.

Stampin' Up! Les Shoppes Suite Card Idea and the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder

June 19, 2023

Today I have a totally cute card for you using the adorable Stampin' Up! Les Shoppes Suite (which includes the Let's Go Shopping Bundle) from the 2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

The cute shop images I have used in this card are all cut from the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. It's such a cute paper and there are really versatile designs on the back too. The good news is the paper pack is 15% off in June (see the links at the end of the post). I figured why stamp when you already have these cute images? They were easy to fussy cut and I joined a couple of the shops together to make this scene, They remind me of the streets of Paris, especially the little bookshop!

I've used the New Exposed Brick Embossing Folder on crumb cake as my base card. I think it is a great background for the cute houses. I do love vintage themed embossing folders. In fact I just love embossing folders. Such a great and affordable way to add texture and interest to cards.

To add some more texture I have added some Misty Moonlight Braided Trim, and some of the Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins. I particularly love the brown sequins. They are a really rich warm brown. I used a sentiment from the Inked and Tiled stamp set. My favourite sentiment set right now!

I can't wait to make some more of these cute cards! You can view all of the products I used today using the links at the end of the post. If you would like to save this idea on your Pinterest boards, here's an image to Pin.

Stampin Up Inked and Tiled Patchwork Pieces Card

June 07, 2023

Today I have a patchwork 'hello' card for you, using the new Inked and Tiled stamp set and Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper from the 2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. I was really drawn to the beautiful imagery in these products, and also really LOVE the versatile sentiments and gorgeous modern font. I have already used this stamp set SO much for sentiments.

The Inked and Botanical Designer Series Paper (on special this month for 15% off) coordinates perfectly with this stamp set. The Stampin' Up! artists used real pressed flowers and foliage in the process of designing these products. They inked them up and pressed them down, which is why we have such amazing representation of texture. Here's a closer look at the stamp set and DSP (which is a 6x6" pack, so you get 48 sheets - 4 each of 12 double sided designs).

First up the stamp set. Look at those gorgeous designs and sentiments. I would regularly use every one of those sentiments. You can find the Inked and Tiled stamp set HERE in my online store.

Here is the Inked Botanicals DSP. The coordinating colours are Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Petal Pink and Pool Party. Love these colours together and will definitely need more of this paper!

For my card I started with a Crushed Curry cardstock base, and added one of the monochrome Crushed Curry floral DSP pieces as the first layer. I created the nifty stitched patchwork pattern by using a handy new die set in the Annual Catalogue called Patchwork pieces. I cut two of the die cuts - one in the Crushed Curry polka dot pattern and the other in the Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry floral on Very Vanilla pieces. Then I just alternated them. and adhered then to a Calypso Coral base.

Here's a look at the Patchwork Pieces Die.

I stamped the image and sentiment onto Very Vanilla. I used Stampin' Write Markers in Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry to ink up the stamp (don't forget to 'huff' on it to re-moisten the ink before stamping) and then stamped the sentiment in Lost Lagoon. I cut the image out with the 2 & 3/8" circle punch, and then adhered that onto a 2 & 1/2" circle of Calypso Coral. That was adhere with Dimensionals (as was the patchwork layer) and then I embellished with some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

All of the products I have used today can be purchased either in my online store, or by email or phone. If you are in Australia, I welcome you to shop with me for awesome customer service. Place a $75+ order and receive a brand NEW 2023-25 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

Stampin' Up! Hello Irresistible Suite - New 2023 Online Exclusive Release

March 03, 2023

Today I wanted to take a deeper dive into some of the Online Exclusive products, particularly the Stampin' Up! Hello Irresistible suite of products. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is the early preorder of some products and this was one of the suites I had the ,chance to play with over the last month (well as much as possible with a broken wrist!).

The suite comprises the Irresistible Blooms bundle, the Hello Irresistible DSP and the Loose Frosted Dots. Coordinating colours for the DSP re Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock. The last two colours are returning InColors from several years ago. They are part of the Colour Refresh which was announced today and for which more information will become available on March 30th. If you don't have those colours for now, Soft Succulent is a good replacement.

Here's a look at the Hello Irresistible Suite - find it HERE in the online store (in the new Online Exclusives section).

Here's a closer look at the paper pack, which has 48 sheets of 6x6" double sided paper. I really like this paper!

Here's how my first card with this suite turned out. I made this one before I broke my wrist. I really like the font in the Irresistible blooms stamp set, and 'hello' cards are one of my favourite types to make as I use a lot of them with team members and customers.

I didn't have the two colours that are coming back, but Soft Succulent worked beautifully with this sheet of the DSP. I used the circle die cut and Soft Sea Foam cardstock, and made a few snips with my paper snips to remove it from the outside frame so I had a stand alone die cut embellishment.

The flowers are actually die cut from another sheet of the DSP - so easy! and there are dies for 2 sizes of flowers, as well as dies to cut out the leaves shape and also some additional outline leaves dies which I used to cut my leaves from Soft Succulent.

My sentiment is stamped in Soft Succulent and I have attached some of the Flirty Flamingo Loose Frosted Dots to finish the card.

Here's another card I made AFTER I broke my wrist and had to keep things a little more simple. Just a Flirty Flamingo base card, two strips of DSP cut and interchanged, a die cut label, sentiment and embellishments.

My sentiment is stamped in Polished Pink ink, and I have used a stitched Rectangle die and some more of the Flirty Flamingo Loose Frosted Dots.

I hope you like today's cards using the Stampin' Up! Hello Irresistible Suite. You can find this suite in the Online Exclusives section (use the button below) together with a range of other brand new products!
