Three Cards in One with Stampin Up Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper

July 24, 2021

Hello crafty friends. Today I want to show you how you can make 3 quick and easy Stampin Up cards in one! I have used the Stampin' Up! Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper from the 2021 Stampin Up Australia Annual Catalogue, along with the super versatile Biggest Wish stamp set from the same catalogue.

Here's the three cards I made.

Card Instructions

Start with 3 x C6 standard card bases in Soft Succulent (that's an A4 sheet cut in half vertically and folded in half).
Cut three pieces of coordinating DSP pieces each 10cmx 14.3cm.
Stack them together in your trimmer and make 2 angled cuts (it doesn't really matter where you make them, but aim for 3 pieces around the same size).
Select one piece from each pattern and adhere to the card leaving a teeny gap in between each piece.

The final step is to adhere a sentiment label over the join of the three pieces. I used a circle with my greeting from Biggest Wish stamped in colours to coordinate with the DSP. If you don't have the Biggest Wish Stamp Set, I strongly suggest you take a look using the links at the end of the post. It's so versatile.

I have also used a piece of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon (you need about 22cm for each card), and one of the Soft Succulent 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.

This is such a quick and easy design, I will definitely be making more quick and easy cards using this layout.

So don't forget to check out the Designer Series paper sale while it's still on until 2nd August. You can find all the on sale papers HERE in my online store.

Quick and Easy Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked 'Hello' Card

July 02, 2021

A quick card is a good card, right? Sometimes for me that is definitely the case, other times I like to play with techniques. Today though, I want to show you a quick and easy card using the Artistically Inked bundle from the Stampin Up Australia 2021 Annual Catalogue.

Measurements / Supplies:

To make this card you will need (find these items using the links at the bottom of the post):

Standard C6 top folded Pear Pizazz card as the base.
A piece of Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper 10cm x 14.3cm (the piece with Pear Pizazz and Pale Papaya on it)
A die cut (out of Pear Pizazz) of the large leaf /branch piece from the Artistic Dies
3 adhesive sequins from the Expressions In Ink Ephemera Pack
A piece of Pale Papaya and White ribbon, 25cm in length
White bakers twine
A scrap of white cardstock and Pear Pizazz ink pad to stamp the greeting from the Artistically Inked stamp set.

Step by Step Instructions:

I adhered the piece of DSP to the card using Stampin' Seal adhesive (you could also use Multipurpose Glue)
I adhered the die cut with glue dots in about 3 or 4 places.
Wrap the Pale Papaya and White ribbon over the top of the branch and overlap on the underside of the card. I just used Stampin' Seal to keep it in place but be sure to not place any adhesive where you will be tying the bow with the White bakers twine. You don't want the ribbon adhered too tightly for the same reason.
Stamp the 'hello' sentiment in Pear Pizazz ink onto a scrap of white cardstock. Trim and cut the ends on an angle.
Adhere the sentiment piece towards the bottom right of the card and place the three adhesive sequins around the edges.

That's all there is to it. Easy, right?

Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop: Rich Razzleberry

March 24, 2021

I'm excited to have had some time on the weekend to create a card for our Art with Heart Stampin' Up! team's Colour Creations weekly blog hop. This week's colour is Rich Razzleberry, one of my favourite colours for many years. It's a beautiful deep purple pink colour, and a member of our Regals collection.

My card is a watercolour scene. I haven't played with the lovely Grace's Garden stamp set for so long, and Rich Razzleberry made me think of deep pink/purple Hollyhock flowers, so that's what I went with. My scene is made on watercolour paper, with a Crumb Cake mat, and adhered with Dimensionals onto a Rich Razzleberry card base. The card base has also been embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder.

I have used Rich Razzleberry, Gorgeous Grape and Bumblebee for my flower colours and Garden Green for the foliage. The gate is a combination of Crumb Cake and Soft Suede, the cat is watercoloured in Gray Granite and the bird is Early Espresso with a teeny bit of diluted Real Red on the tummy. For the foreground, I have used a watercolor wash of Sahara Sand and for the sky I have used my blending brushes and Pool Party for a very light sky effect.

To finish off my card, I have added some Linen Thread, and stamped the 'Hello' sentiment from Graces Garden stamp set, in Early Espresso. I also added a metallic heart brad that has been sitting in my scrapbooking stash for many many years.

Here's a closer look at the goregous Graces Garden stamp set from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. I love how you can use the images either individually or to make your own garden scene.

To check out other team member creations using Rich Razzleberry, head over to the lovely Cathy Proctor's blog.

Have a fabulous week,

Claire

Sneak Peek: Simply Succulents Bundle from the 2021 Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue with Video Tutorial

December 09, 2020

Hey friends. Another sneak peek of an upcoming product for you. Today I am sharing the Simply Succulents bundle from the 2021 Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue. I love to garden, and have pots of mixed succulents, so this bundle was a must have for me.

It's also a beautiful set to colour. I have watercoloured this card using the Stampin' Up! ink pads and Water Painters. Our Fluid 100 watercolour paper gives a fabulous base to watercolour and blend on. I'll point out which Stampin' Up! ink colours I have used further down in the blog post.

My base card is Pool Party, and I have created an subtle inky wash (also on Fluid 100 watercolour paper) as the second layer.The Coastal Cabana adhesive sequins from the Artistry Blooms pack complement the card colours card well.

I have created a video for you which shows how I created this card from start to finish.

Here's a look at the colours I used to watercolour.

Stampin' Up! Under My Umbrella stamp set coloured with Stampin' Blends. Video Tutorial.

October 06, 2020

Hello stamping friends.

Today I have a card idea for friends. My stamp set is Under My Umbrella from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue, and it has a coordinating punch. I have coloured the images with Stampin' Blends and have used a little sponging too. It's going to rain a bit this week in Melbourne (I actually love listening to the rain though, and it's great for the garden too) so this is an appropriate stamp set for sure.

I've put together a video for you showing the techniques I used to colour and blend with Stampin' Blends, and how to make the easy cloud background.

My colour palette was nice an bright and featured two of the Stampin' Up! 2020-22 InColours.

The cloud effect is super easy to make, and you don't need anything special. I show you how in the video.

I hope today's card has bought a smile to your face. I know the 'Under My Umbrella' stamp set brings a smile to my face! Here's a closer look at a couple of the products.

Here is the Under My Umbrella Stamp Set($28).

Next up we have the coordinating Umbrella Builder Punch ($31). Punches make creating so easy don't you think? Especially when they perfectly coordinate with stamp sets.

There's also another gorgeous stamp set called Pretty Parasole, that coordinates with the Umbrella Builder Punch. This stamp set is only $28.00 too.
