Free 12 sheet Regency Park Paper Pack with Stampin' Up! Petal Park Punch Bundle Purchase

Hello friends. I have a great offer for you for the rest of March. When you purchase the Stampin' Up! Petal Party stamp set and coordinating Petal Builder Punch from me ($67.50 plus postage for the bundle), you will receive a free coordinating pack of 12 sheets of the gorgeous coordinating Regency Park DSP (6x6", 12 double sided sheets). The punch even punches out some of the images in the DSP. The paper has lots of gorgeous colours with coordinating spots, stripes and floral designs. You don't need to do anything fancy to claim your paper. Just order the bundle from me by the end of March and I will send the paper at the end of the month. Those people who have already ordered the bundle from me  this month will also be getting the free paper.

Purchase the Petal Park Punch Bundle in my online store for $67.50 or order directly with me by phone (0412 120 498) or email (cdaly@bigpond.net.au).

The Petal Park bundle has been super popular because of it's lower price point compared to die bundles, the versatility of the punch and the way the punched images and the stamped leaves work together to create a dimensional image. 

You can use the punch to punch out two different types of stamped flowers, and the punch also can cut out cardstock floral layers, which when put together make a cute dimensional floral image (or use them separately as embellishments).

Here's a card I made recently using this Stampin Up Petal Park bundle and the new Radiating Stitches Dies (which aren't in a catalogue but can be found in the new online exclusives section in the website, and either purchased online or directly through me).

In this instance I have used the stamped flowers in Melon Mambo and cut them out with the punch. I have then popped them up with Dimensionals, and added an Iridescent Rhinestone Embellishment to the centre of each flower. The background leaves are stamped with Granny Apple Green, and the sentiment is embossed in white embossing powder onto a label cut out from the Radiating Stitches Dies. I stamped some of the smaller flowers in Basic Grey onto the Basic Grey base card. I like how that carries through the imagery and ties everything together.

Here's another sample from the Stampin' Up! concept artists.

If you are looking for more ideas to use this bundle, check out my Petal Park Pinterest board. I have saved 29 inspiring samples on there to date. 

If you are in Australia, all of the products I have used today can be purchased from me either in my online store (individual product links at end of post or shop link below), or by email to cdaly@bigpond.net.au or phone to 0412 120 498. I offer awesome customer service, free catalogues and regular communications, tips and offers to my purchasing customers. If you use the monthly host code shown below when you shop with me online and your order is less than $250 (if it's over $250 you are better off claiming your own Stampin' Rewards at the time of ordering),  you will also qualify for a small gift the month after you order.

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

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!

Don't forget to use the March Host Code if you are shopping online and your order is less than $250.

Stampin' Up! Fitting Florets / Framed Florets Early Release coming soon!

Hey friends, today I wanted to show you a card I have made using a collection of products which will be available for sale to customers on November 1st. It's an early release bundle from the 2023 January to June Mini Catalogue. It consists of the Framed Florets bundle with some amazing oval dies, along with a coordinating paper and embellishments and a Christmas sentiment stamp set that is perfectly sized to fit in the ovals (these last three will only be available until January 3rd, but the bundle will be available for the life of the mini).

For me, the centrepiece of this gorgeous collection is definitely the dies. The die set includes gorgeous decorative oval dies, as well as dies that cut around the images, and some additional foliage.

The colour palette and imagery in the Designer Series Paper is so gorgeous. You can even use the dies or some fussy cutting to cut images from the DSP to use on your projects.

You will be able to purchase items individually, or as the whole suite. The whole suite with everything including the dies, 2 stamp sets, DSP and Gold Swirls is $175.25. but the individual elements start at $15. They will be available from 1st November. Download the Flyer to see each of the individual elements and prices: Download Fitting Florets Collection Flyer.

 

How do I get me hands on these beautiful products?

1. Get them before November 1st, by adding them to your starter kit when you join as a demonstrator. There's a great deal on now where you can choose $283 worth of products of YOUR CHOICE for just $169 and any of these products can be included.
2. Anyone placing a $60+ order with me in October will be receiving some of the DSP and my own choice of coordinating embellishments as their host code gift.
3. You can order the products from November 1st. Anyone who purchases the bundle from me in November will receive a FREE 5 card card kit with PDF tutorials and video run through.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Watercolour Birthday Card

Hello stamping friends.

As I mentioned in previous posts, it's World Watercolour Month  in July, so here's a watercolour birthday card for you using the Cottage Rose bundle from the Stampin Up 2022 Annual Catalogue. 

The paper is the Abigail Rose DSP which is part of the same suite that includes the Cottage Rose bundle. It's called the Abigail Rose Suite, and you can find it on page 56/57 of the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. The sentiment is from the same set. The embellishments I have added are Linen Thread and one of the Brushed Metallic Dots on the folded DSP corner.

For the watercolouring, I have used ink from the inside of my ink pads and Water Painters. I used Blushing Bride for the flower, Garden Green for the leaves and a bit of Crumb Cake around the other foliage poking out behind the rose.

My style of watercolouring is a messy, vintage look and I don't always stay within the lines. I like that though and it's less pressure so more relaxing! I did an in depth video some time ago showing my style of watercolouring, so have a look if you would like more information about what I do. I LOVE watercolouring. It's my favourite way to add colour to cards.

 

You can also view lots of other examples of my watercoloured cards HERE.

If you are interested in more card ideas using the Abigail Rose suite, I have a 5 card instant download PDF class available for $15AUD (approx $10-$11 USD on today's currency exchange rates). You can find my PDF Instant Download Classes HERE.

I hope you like today's card. You can find all of the products I have used in my online store, or the paper copy of the Annual Catalogue. You can either order online, or direct with me via email, phone or text (you can read about three ways to shop with me HERE).  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. Here's the shop link (individual product links at the end of the post), and this month's host code.

Stampin Up Wonderful World 2022 Saleabration Bundle 4 Ways

Hello friends. 

Today I am showcasing four projects using one of the gorgeous Saleabration bundles you can earn for FREE with a qualifying order during Saleabration which is on during July and August. This is one of the level 2 gifts, so you can earn if for FREE with a $180 order before postage (read all about Saleabration and see all the things you can get earn FREE here). The bundle includes a gorgeous floral stamp set, and a coordinating 12x12" Designer Series paper pack.

This card uses a quick and easy watercolour technique. I stamped the image in Orchid Oasis onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper, and then spritzed the paper with water until the colour ran a bit.

I've layered some of the gorgeous papers in the DSP pack, along with some layering vellum (love the prints in this!) and some linen thread. My greeting is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set and is embossed in white onto Gray Granite cardstock.

My second card is super simple. I just used the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch to cut three images from the DSP, and layered them onto one of the DSP pieces and added a sentiment. This greeting is from the Potted Geranium stamp set, and is stamped in Crumb Cake onto Basic White cardstock. I have created the label ends using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, which punches two different types of label ends in three widths (super versatile in my craft stash).

Next I created a little gift box to go with the above card. This was also super simple to make, as I used one of the new Envelope Treat Boxes (in the July to December mini catalogue) which are precut and scored. I just measured and cut pieces of the DSP to fit on the sides and top of the box (the closure is on the bottom). I also used the Tailored Tags dies to cut a little matching tag from the DSP. The Potted Geranium stamp set has some cute small sentiments to fit on the tag.

My fourth project is a fun fold card I made for my free subscriber tutorials a couple of weeks ago (you can subscribe for these HERE). 

This card fold up nicely to fit inside a C6 envelope. I was inspired to make this after seeing some lovely cards by Helen Reid of All Things Stampy in the UK. You can see Helen's version of this card HERE.

I hope you like the four projects I have shared with you today. I have one more card to share using this suite, and that will be this week's step by step tutorial for customers and subscribers, so make sure you SUBSCRIBE to receive those.

Thanks for stopping by today. Now the mid year school holidays are over I will be back to some more regular blogging. See you next time,

Claire
