Stampin' Up! Fancy Frames Dies & my 5 Favourite new Dies in the 2022 Annual Catalogue.

June 06, 2022

We have some great new stand alone die sets in the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. I have used two of them on this card, and will show a couple of others I love after the card.

These cards came together so easily with some cardstock, Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and the two dies in the Fancy Frames die set.

For this card, I have used Evening Evergreen for my frame. My base card is also Evening Evergreen and I have used Blushing Bride as a very thin mat around the layer of Texture Chic DSP. My sentiment is from the Potted Geranium stamp set and is stamped in Soft Succulent. The two die cuts I have layered for the sentiment are from Stylish Shapes, another one of my favourite die sets. I finished the card off with a couple of the 2021-2023 InColor Opal Rounds (the Soft Succulent Ones).

For my second card, I used a Blushing Bride card base, and Blushing Bride for the die cut. The sentiment is from Potted Geranium, and this label from the coordinating Geranium dies. I have embellished this card with some Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon, and a couple of the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Here's a closer look at the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper. I love the grungy vibe of this paper and there is foiling on one side too. This paper is in my Box of Pretties Share Box this month (see at end of post) with 6 other coordinating products for just $34 including postage (Australian residents only).

Now lets have a look at the die sets. Here are the two main sets I have used in these two cards:

Fancy Frames (find them here in the online store or see links at end of post)

Stylish Shapes Dies (find them here in the online store or see links at end of post). It's a bit hard to see in the picture below, but each of these dies has stitching on the edge.

Other stand alone new die sets I have purchased to play with soon are:

Designer Tags (find them here in the online store)

Fabulous Frames (find them here in the online store)

I also have these ones on my wish list:

Deckled Rectangle (find them here in the online store)

I hoped you liked today's card and seeing my fave die sets. You can find all of the products I have used in my online store, or the paper copy of the Annual Catalogue.

Introducing NEW Stampin' Up! Tahitian Tide with Paradise Palms stamp set

April 23, 2022

Hello friends. It' time to dee dive into another one of the 2022 new Stampin' Up! InColors. Today we are looking at Tahitian Tide. Just 10 days until Annual Catalogue launch day and the maunch of these fabulous new colours - woohoo!

Tahitian Tide is a bright turquoise blue. Here is how it looks with some of our other current Stampin' Up! colours. As you can see, Tahitian Tide has similar tones to Pacific Point.

For my card, I have used Tahitian Tide and a blending brush to create an ocean background for my beach themes card. I love this blue!

My focal image is from Paradise Palms stamp set. This debuted in the 2022 January to June Mini Catalogue, but will also be carrying over to the new 2022 Annual Catalogue (but the bundle pricing won't be available, so if you want the bundle, grab it before the end of June so you save 10%). I originally stamped the greeting directly over the palm trees, but it got kind of lost, so I cut out a separate piece. I like the way the ripped edge exposing the white cardstock looks like the wave foam. Did you notice I have also used the 'coming soon' Stylish Shapes dies for the stitched circle?

I have used the direct to rubber marker technique to colour the palm trees, with the trunks in Soft Suede and the branches in Garden Green. For the ground, I have used Soft Suede stamped off once. This year we also have bi-colour bakers twine in each of the InColours. I have combined the Tahitian Tide and White one, with Linen Thread for the embellishment on my card. Unfortunately one of my Champagne Rhinestones fell off before photographing, so you will just have to imagine there is another one there to the bottom right of the sentiment.

Here's a look at the colour combination for this card.

Here's a look at the Paradise Palms bundle. Perfect for beachy cards!

I hope you like today's beachy card! The Paradis Palms bundle is available in my online store now, and the rest of the new items will be available on May 3rd. I am happy to place orders direct if you call / text / email (o412 120 498) and you can also shop online. When you shop online with me in Australia, and use the monthly Host Code, you also qualify for a small thank you gift mid the month after your purchase.

Introducing NEW Stampin' Up! Orchid Oasis InColor with Cup of Tea and Sending Smiles Bundle

April 21, 2022

Hey friends, time for a look at another new 2022 Stampin' Up! InColor. Today we are looking at Orchid Oasis. Coordinating products in this colour will be available when the new 2022 Annual Catalogue goes live on May 3rd (request your catalogue HERE).

Here's a look how Orchid Oasis works with some of our current colours. It's a lovely colour.

Here's my card using Orchid Oasis and the new Cup of Tea bundle and Sending Smiles bundle, both which will be available on May 3rd.

I really like how Orchid Oasis works with Fresh Freesia, and the neutrals of the white and Basic Gray (in the Vellum Layering Designs).

I have used the gorgeous Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper for the patterns on 2 of the teacups. Have you considered buying a 1/4 share of all the new papers to get a greater variety? Share registrations are open until May 2nd for the 2022 Annual Catalogue shares, and you can get shares of all 12 Designer Series Papers. There are also ribbon and specialty paper shares. Get all the details and register for shares HERE.

The bottom teacup is cut from the Orchid Oasis prints paper (available May 3rd) which is included in my InColor Club. I have also used the Vellum Layering Designs (available now), the Gingham embossing folder (available now) and the Sending Smiles bundle (available May 3rd) and if only I had fixed that 'n' before photographing!

When you shop online with me in Australia, and use the monthly Host Code, you also qualify for a small thank you gift mid the month after your purchase. My customers love getting these little gifts in the mail. Here's the shop link (individual product links at the end of the post), and this month's host code.

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.

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.
