Stampin Up Earthen Textures / Earthen Elegance Slimline Thankyou Card

August 17, 2023

Hello again friends. Today I have a slimline card for you using the Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures bundle, from the Earthen Elegance Suite in the 2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. I have made lots of cards using this suite, but this one is a bit different.

Here's a look at the Stampin' Up! Colour Combination I used which includes Crump Cake, Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso. I am really falling in love with the new core colour Pecan Pie. You can alter the shade by stamping it off once too.

The embellishments I have used on this card are the Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins from the 2023 Annual Catalogue. There are 4 colours in the pack (white, copper, gold and brown). At this stage I am particularly in love with the brown ones, but I can see myself using the others more during Christmas crafting.

If you love the Earthen Textures bundle, you may be interested in my Immediate Download PDF Class for this bundle. This card is one of the 5 cards included and all the cards are layered and embellished and designed by me.

Here's a look at the Earthen Elegance bundle and the Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins. You can check out all the products I have used on this project, using the links at the end of the post.

Stampin' Up! Whale of a Time Masculine Birthday Card

March 06, 2023

Hello friends. Today I have a masculine birthday card for you, combining the By the Bay DSP in the Stampin' Up! January to April Mini Catalogue, with the Whale Done stamp set and punch from the Stampin' Up! 2022 Annual Catalogue. It's the perfect masculine birthday card, especially for the fishermen in your life.

This sheet of DSP is perfect for masculine cards and anyone who loves fishing! It's one of the foiled sheets in the By the Bay DSP in the Stampin' Up! 2023 January to April mini catalogue.

Here is a closer look at the sheet I used. These are 6x6" DSP sheets so this one was perfect for a fish themed card front. The fish are finished in gold foil, which didn't show up as well in my card photo.

The stamp set I have used is the Whale Done stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

There is also a coordinating Whale Builder Punch.

I have also used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut the stitched squares and stitched sentiment label for my card. I use these dies SO much - definitely a versatile die set to add to your collection. My base card and one of the stitched squares is cut in Coastal Cabana. The stamping is in Night of Navy.

If you love the By the Bay DSP or ocean themes cards, I have a PDF Instant Download class available using this suite which is available to purchase anywhere that has PayPal through my PDF Class store.

Stampin' Up! He's All That Bundle, He's the Man Suite and the August Pack of Pretties.

July 29, 2022

Hello friends.

I'm back with Claire's Pack of Pretties this month - a coordinated collection of my favourite Stampin' Up! papercraft products for a great price! This months kit is all about masculine cards and is only $31 including postage! It is built around the He's the Man Suite in the 2022-23 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue (Note: I have changed the name from 'Claire's Box of Pretties' to 'Claire's Pack of Pretties' to reflect a change in the packaging so I can keep the postage as low as possible).

You can get all the details HERE of exactly what's included in the August pack, which optional add-on products I think are a great match, and how to register and pay. Registrations close August 10th. As this kit is physical product, it's limited to Australian residents, but hobby demonstrators are also welcome to register if you just want a share of the suite at a lower price.

Here are some projects I have made using these products. Stay tuned for lots more during the month of August. Grab the August Pack of Pretties so you can play along!

This masculine thank you card uses the He's the Man DSP (in pack), die cuts (in pack), Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Gems (in pack) and a sentiment from Wildlife Wonder stamp set (optional add on). The base cardstock is Sahara sand (in pack), the greeting is stamped in Early Espresso ink (optional add on) and I used Stylish Shapes dies (a great all round versatile die set with 3 different stitched shapes - see links at end of post) to die cut a circle from one of the labels in the die cut sheet included with the DSP.

This masculine birthday card uses the He's the Man DSP (in pack), Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Gems (in pack), twine from Bakers Twine Essentials Pack and a sentiment and image from Wildlife Wonder stamp set (optional add on). Base card is Early Espresso (in pack) and stamping is in Early Espresso ink (optional add-on).

This masculine birthday card is for the car lovers and was quick and easy. It uses He's the Man DSP (in pack), Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Gems (in pack), and the He's All That bundle (optional add-on). The image from the stamp set is stamped in Early Espresso onto Sahara Sand cardstock (I was out of reinker when I stamped this - fixed now!). The base card for this one is Sahara Sand (in pack).

This masculine birthday card was another quick and easy one. It uses the He's the Man DSP (in pack), He's the man die cuts (in pack), and the Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Gems (in pack) . The base cardstock is Sahara Sand (in pack), and I used Stylish Shapes dies (a great all round versatile die set with 3 different stitched shapes - see links at end of post) to die cut the two flag end banners (under the die cut) from the DSP.

This final card is one I made a little while ago in my video tutorial demonstrating how to use masking paper. It uses the Campology stamp set (optional add-on), the He's the Man DSP (in pack), the Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Gems (in pack) and the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack. The base cardstock is Mint Macaron (in pack), with some early Espresso cardstock (in pack) as a mat. I have used Mint Macaron ink pad (optional add-on) to stamp the trees (I added some Garden Green highlights with a marker), and stamped the tent in Black Stazon before watercolouring with Early Espresso ink pad, Crumb Cake ink pad and Water Painters. The video shows you how I used masking paper to position the tent in front of the trees (this card demonstration starts at 2:19 in the video).

I hope you like these masculine cards. Pin this image so you can come back to it, and please consider registering for the He's the Man August Pack of Pretties (starting at just $31 including postage) so you can recreate some of these projects at home. Registrations close August 10th (Australian residents only).

If you would like to view the video demonstrating how to use masking paper, here it is (the demonstration of the card above starts at 2:19).

You can find all of the products I have used on these cards in my online store, or the paper copy of the 2022 Stampin' Up! 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).

Campology Masculine Birthday Card and a Video Tutorial with 6 Ways to Use the NEW Stampin' Up! Masking Paper

June 09, 2022

Hello stamping friends.

One of the new products included in the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue was masking paper. For those not familiar with masking paper, it does as the name suggests - masks off areas of your project where you don't want ink to go. You can do this with other things as well, but the benefit of this specialised masking paper is that it is super thin plus adhesive and it doesn't leave as much of a halo around the edge. It's also reusable, and really reasonably priced. It is $12.25AUD for 12 5x7" sheets. Find the masking paper on page 149 of the Annual catalogue, or HERE in my online store.

I've put together a video showing 6 different techniques to use the masking paper, and included lots of tips along the way. The video features 5 cards, and I will share one of them here first. You can see how I did the stamping for this project (and the other 4 cards) in the video which is included below.

As I wanted the tent to appear in front of the trees in this masculine birthday card, I stamped the tent first and then masked it off before I stamped the trees. I love this Campology stamp set and haven't used it nearly enough, so I am grateful it carried over to the new catalogue. To finish my card off, I have used some of the DSP and a die-cut from He's the Man Specialty DSP, along with some linen thread and Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots.

Here is the video which shows me doing the masking portion of this card, along with 4 other cards.
