Stampin' Up! Australia: Claire Daly Independent Demonstrator Melbourne

Sending brightness and sunshine to you for the weekend: Stampin Up Saleabration Delicate Dahlia 'Happy for You' card.

August 20, 2021

Hello friends. Time for a bright happy card don't you think? I wanted to send some brightness and 'sunshiney' thoughts out into the world and wish everyone a happy weekend. I know many of us are limited as to what we can do, but I find even a warm cuppa in the son, a read of a good book or wandering in the garden makes me happy right now.

I made today's card using Delicate Dahlia, which is one of the free Saleabration stamp sets from Stampin Up Australia.

This card base and stamping is Polished Pink, and some of the images are stamped off. The sentiment label shape is die cut from Tasteful Label dies. The Delicate Dahlia stamp is a Distinktive type stamp, which means you get variations in the texture with one stamping.

I hope this card brings a smile to your face and that you find some simple moments of happiness over the weekend.

Sneak Peek of Stampin' Up! Saleabration: Delicate Dahlia stamp set

July 28, 2021

Hello crafty people. Today I have another sneak peek for you and it's my favourite pick from the new Stampin' Up! Australia Saleabration Catalogue starting on August 3rd (this year we have 2 Saleabration promotions - one in January / February, and one in August / September. This is one of the choices which can be earned for free with a $180 order (before postage) between August 3rd and September 30th. I love Dahlia's as a flower, and this gorgeous set is Distinctive. which means you get variations in stamping and the illusion of texture from just one stamping.

The Delicate Dahlia stamp set includes outline images and solid images along with a smaller flower, leaves and 4 sentiments. I have used the outline stamp in Early Expresso on Early Espresso cardstock for the base card. For the centre stamped panel, I inked my stamp in Blushing Bride and then used a sponge dauber to apply some Calypso Coral ink in the centre and very outer edge of the Dahlia. Some of the images are also stamped off. The stamped panel is adhered to one of the stitched die cuts from Stitched So Sweetly dies.

The sentiment is also from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set and fits perfectly in one of the Stitched Rectangle dies. I added some loosely coiled twine for some additional texture.

Don't forget to ask for your free paper copy of the NEW July to December Mini Catalogue and Saleabration Catalogue, you can do that HERE.

Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas Week 10: Spreading the joy of creativity for a handmade Christmas.

October 23, 2019

Hey friends. It's tome for some more Christmas inspiration. Today I am playing with the new Stampin' Up! product suite called 'Christmastime is Here'. This has been available to demonstrators as a special preorder in October and is available to purchase by customers on November 1st.

This suite contains Designer Series Paper with gold foiling (3 double sided designs x 4 pages each at 12x12" size), a stamp set and coordinating dies, gold glitter embellishments and a gold ribbon.

The dies actually cut out one of the images in the Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper, so both of these cards use that image. There is also a lined image you can colour with blends and some bits and pieces to fill in the image. Here's a look at the stamp set.

Here's a look at the whole product suite. Each of the individual items can be purchased separately, so you can just get the bits and pieces you like. Make sure you subscribe to my newsletter (click the button in the right hand column) to hear all about this new release on November 1st.

I was drawn to this suite for many reasons. I love roses, I love the traditional colours for Christmas, and I'm a sucker for gold foiling in my DSP. I also really love the warmth in the sentiment I have used on these cards.

The die cuts are really interesting as well, and add visual interest to your cards. I love these ones that I have used around the sentiment label.

Overall, the Christmastime is Here suite is a lovely group of coordinating products, in traditional colours for Christmas and beyond.

Now it's time to visit all the lovely team members who are showcasing Christmas projects tonight. We have:

Before we go, did you know there are still 4 hours to go in our 24 Hour Stamp Sale? It's just on today, and ends at 11.50pm AEDT. There's over 50 stamp sets on special.

Thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to subscribe to my newsletter if you want to hear all about the Christmastime is Here products on November 1st.

Warm regards

Art With Heart Team Colour Creations Blog Hop: Seaside Spray

June 25, 2019

Tonight the Art With Heart Team Colour Creations Crew are playing with Seaside Spray, a beautiful soft blue which was introduced as a new 2019-2021 InColour in the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

I have used two of my favourite new products in the catalogue for today's card: Beautiful Friendship stamp set and Detailed Bands Dies. Beautiful Friendship is such a great stamp set for creating floral backgrounds.

Here is the colour combination I have used for my background stamping.

I love the new Detailed Bands dies as they contain decorative elements to use with sentiments to add WOW to your card.

Here's a closer look at these two gorgeous products. The Detailed Bands dies also can be purchased in a bundle with Band Together stamp set for a 10% discount (see the product links below). Here is the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.

Now it's time to head over to Catherine Proctors blog and check out what the Colour Creations crew have been able to create with Seaside Spray.

Thanks for stopping by today, have a fabulous and crafty week.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Wishes Distinktive Stamp Set

June 24, 2019

Hello stampers.

Today I have a birthday card for you featuring a lovely new stamp set in the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. It's called Butterfly Wishes, and is a Distinktive type stamp (exclusive to Stampin' Up!), which means you get the look of variation in depth and texture from one stamping.

It also has some solid butterfly images in the stamp set, two of which coordinate with the Stampin' Up! Butterfly Duet punch.

The butterflies at the top and bottom left on the image shown above, are the ones that coordinate with the butterfly punch. I have used the middle butterfly on the left on today's card, which I fussy cut. I have still shown the Butterfly Duet punch in the item links in case you want to have a closer look.

Here's my colour combination for today's card. I love using the berry colours with Crumb Cake. One great thing about the Distinktive stamps, is that you get lovely variation of tone within the one stamped colour.

I have also used the new Stitched Nested Labels Dies on today's card. I really like layering the smaller label at the ends to give some extra colour.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card. You can buy all the supplies to make it in my Online Stampin' Up! Store using the links at the end of today's post. Don't forget to use the June host code if you are shopping online with me, as you will receive a free gift from me in July if you do that.
