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.

Stampin Up Daffodil Daydream 'Just for You' Card with Step-by-Step Instructions

March 07, 2022

Hi friends,

I made this Daffodil Daydream card on the weekend and couldn't wait to share it with you. The Daffodil Daydream stamp set and bundle is in the 2022 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue, and I have also used the coordinating Daffodil Afternoon DSP. This paper is only available until March 16th as part of Saleabration (earn if FREE with a $90 order before postage).

Step-by-step instructions to make today's card (find any of the products used, by using the links at the end of my post):

I started my card with a Petal Pink card base, and then added a layer (10cm x 14.3cm) of Petal Pink which I had embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder (such a gorgeous vintage effect).
Next I added a piece of layering vellum 9cm x 12.5cm. This is a new product in the 2022 January Mini catalogue and it's really gorgeous. There are various designs and some are printed in black, some in white. Perfect for adding some additional layers.
Then I have added three strips of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP in coordinating patterns. Each strip is 3cm x 13cm.
The image is stamped in black Stazon onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper. It was cut out using one of the Scalloped Contour dies.
To colour the image, I have used my Water Painter, and the following ink colours: Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Polished Pink.
My greeting is from Celebrating You stamp set in the 2022 Mini Catalogue, and is stamped in black Stazon.
I finished off my card with some Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim, some Linen Thread and Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots which are a carry over product from last years July to December Mini Catalogue.

Here's a look at the Daffodil Afternoon DSP that is available to earn for 9 more days only! It coordinates so perfectly with the Daffodil Daydream bundle. It's a 12x12" paper pack and you get 2 each of 6 double sided designs.

Stampin Up Blackberry Beauty 'Here for You' handmade vintage card

September 11, 2021

Hello crafters. I'm back with some crafty inspiration for your weekend with a card featuring the gorgeous Blackberry Beauty suite from the Stampin' Up! July to December mini catalogue. I love the lush opulent look of this suite, especially the beautiful foiled Blackberry Beauty DSP.

In addition to the earthy Early Espresso and Cinnamon Cider, the paper has Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry and Polished Pink. Then there is beautiful gold foiling. It also has a coordinating Ephemera pack.

My base card is Early Espresso, and I have added a Crumb Cake panel which I have embossed with the AMAZING Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder. If you love vintage you need this embossing folder. Before I embossed, I stamped one of the birds from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set, in Rich Razzleberry. I did another one on a scrap of Crumb Cake and fussy cut it then adhered over the top with Dimensionals.

I stamped the 'Here for You' sentiment onto one of the labels from the ephemera kit, and popped that up on Dimensionals over some coiled linen thread. The Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots really coordinate well with this suite, and were a great embellishment for this card.

Here's a look at the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set I used on today's card (it also comes in a bundle). You can find all of the Blackberry Beauty suite of products HERE in my online store.

Stampin Up Nothing Better Than handmade Cocktail Card for a friend

September 08, 2021

Hello stampers. It's time for a colour challenge. This week the Art With Heart Colour Creations girls are playing with Daffodil Delight, a lovely crisp bright yellow that reminds me of Spring and all things happy.

For today's card, I have decided to play with the Nothing More Than stamp set, a fun stamp set which you will find in the Stampin' Up! Australia Annual Catalogue. I love playing with layers of cardstock and Designer Series Paper. You can find all of the products I have used in today's card, by using the individual product shop links at the end of the post.

Here is my colour combination for today.

The Polished Pink and Pool Party patterned papers I have used are the reverse sides of the Whimsy and Wonder DSP from the July to December Mini Catalogue. This is a gorgeous Christmas paper, but the reverse sides are really versatile too.

The dotty embossing folder is from the Checks and Dots Mini Embossing Folder duo in the Annual Catalogue.

For the cocktail image, I stamped the outline in Memento Black, and used the Pool Party and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends for the lemon and umbrella. The glass contents is a stamp which I inked up in Daffodil Delight and then lightly stamped off once. I then sponged a little Polished Pink ink around the base before stamping into the glass. As it's a Photopolymer stamp set, it's super easy to line up. I finished my card off with some white embossed sentiments (on Polished Pink cardstock, some white bakers twine, and some of the Polished Pink Jewels (from the 2021-23 InColor Jewels pack).

Here's a look at the stamp set and coordinating dies (I only used the stamp set today).

Now it's time to visit the rest of the Art with Heart team and see what they have been making with Daffodil Delight. Next up we have the lovely Di Furniss in South Australia.

If you get lost anywhere along the way, or would like a full list of all the participants this week, please head to our fabulous coordinator Cathy Proctor's blog.
