Seven Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made Bundle & Masterfully Made Suite 2023 Card Ideas

August 23, 2023

Hello friends. Today I have a video showing you seven ideas using the Gorgeously Made Bundle from the Masterfully Made Suite in the 2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. I have shown one of the cards here, but you can see the other 6 in the video. I also have a PDF immediate download class using this bundle and there are details of that below as well.

This product suite is so bright and beautiful. I think it has a real fresh vintage look with the torn and distressed elements, yet bright colours. It really jumped out at me when I first saw the annual catalogue. This is the suite I also used for a display board I did at our 35 for 35 Stampin' Up! team event in Melbourne in July. Today I want to show you those cards in a video, and then I will show one of the cards in more detail.

Here's a look at one of the cards in more detail.
This card has a base of Melon Mambo with Melon Mambo stamping, and that is contrasted by the Basic Black, Basic White and Pumpkin Pie in the rest of the card. Bold colour combination but I think it works with this suite. Can you see the curvy lines from the Patchwork Pieces dies I have used on the patterned paper?

If you like these cards and would like to make them yourself, or use them in an in person class if you are a demonstrator, you might be interested in my Masterfully Made Suite Immediate Download PDF Class, It can be downloaded from anywhere in the world for less than $10USD (at time of posting). The PDF includes 6 of the cards in the video with supply list, measurements in imperial and metric, full colour pictures and step by step instructions. Find it HERE in my store.

Stampin' Up! Decorated with Happiness 2022 Christmas Card

August 28, 2022

Hello friends,

I'm back sharing a 2022 Christmas card with you using the Decorated with Happiness bundle from the 2022 July to December Mini Catalogue.

My card base is Blackberry Bliss, and my centre panel is Shimmery White with Soft Succulent ink blended in an ombre pattern. Before I adhered the blended cardstock to the cardfront, I:

Stamped some of the pine leaf pattern on the edges of the Blackberry Bliss cardstock, using Blackberry Bliss ink; and
Added a length of scalloped gold foil either side. I die cut this using one of the dies in the Penned Flowers Dies (part of the Hand Penned bundle).

I have cut two of the pine branches (from the Decorated with Pine Dies) in Soft Succulent and adhered them to the blended cardstock (you can either do this by using adhesive sheets, or you can also add a bit of Multipurpose Glue to a silicon sheet and use a sponge dauber to add it to the back of the die cut).

Next I die cut 2 of the baubles in three different papers - Blackberry Bliss cardstock, Very Vanilla Glimmer paper (in the Glimmer Specialty paper pack) and in Gold Foil. I used the adhesive sheets on the back when I cut these baubles. I adhered the Blackberry Bliss ones to the card first, and then filled in the extra pieces alternating between the glimmer paper and the gold foil. For the bows, I have used some Gold and Vanilla Satin-Edged Ribbon (in the July to December Mini Catalogue) which I cut in half lengthways, and some Gold Metallic Trim (from the Simply Elegant Trim Combo). I just made a bow out of both lengths together.

To finish my card, I stamped the greeting from the Decorated with Happiness Stamp Set, in Blackberry Bliss ink. My embellishments are the 2021-2023 InColor Opal Rounds.

This card is an adaptation of one of the 6 cards included in my Instant Download Decorated with Happiness PDF Class which is available in my PDF Class Shop if this is of interest to you.

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.

Stampin' Up! Sending Smiles Birthday Card

May 23, 2022

Hello friends,

I hope you are having a fabulous Monday. It's a beautiful sunny autumn day here, and sunshine always makes me smile.

Today I have a birthday card using the gorgeous new 2022 bundle Sending Smiles. This card is also one of the six cards included in my Sending Smiles Class, which is now available as an instant download PDF class (instructions in metric and imperial). You can find the class HERE.

I've used the Awash in Beauty DSP in the class, which is a beautiful floral paper with really gorgeous neutral sheets on the reverse. Having the grids on this one made it easy to line up the background sentiments (well relatively as I still was crooked on a couple!).

I've done a bit of masking of the sentiments to get the sentiment on the card front. Just use our new masking paper or a postal note to cover the cardstock where you don't want the sentiments stamped and you can come up with all sorts of combinations of words and sentiments.

Here's a look at some sneak peeks of the other cards in my Sending Smiles PDF Instant Download Class. The class includes one of my fave fancy fold cards too. Sending Smiles is a great bundle to work with, with a great range of different sentiments.

Hope you liked todays card. You can find all of the products I have used in my online store, or the paper copy of the Annual Catalogue (get one here). You can either order 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. My customers love getting these little gifts in the mail. Here's the shop link (individual product links at the end of the post), and this month's host code.
