Stampin' Up! Texture Chic Birthday Card & sign up for my FREE PDF Tutorials

Did you know I am back to sending my weekly FREE PDF tutorials to customers and subscribers? Measurements are now included in both metric and imperial too. You can subscribe from anywhere in the world using this online form.

To give you an example of a project I send out, here is a look at last week's project. I have used the beautiful new Texture Chic Suite from the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue, to make a vintage style birthday card. You can view the gorgeous Texture Chic Suite HERE in my online store.

I love this suite so much. It's my absolute fave in the new Annual Catalogue both in terms of style and colour. I love the illusion of texture and the gold foiling in the DSP, and all the layering options with the stamps and dies. It coordinates beautifully here with gold, Petal Pink and Soft Succulent. Other coordinating colours are Evening Evergreen, Mango Melody, Pool Party and Soft Suede.

Pin this image if you would like to save this card to make later, and don't forget to sign up for future weekly tutorials.

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.

Stampin' Up! Hand Penned Suite and Encircled in Beauty Dies

Hello friends.

Today I wanted to share a card that was quick and easy to create, but which I love because it uses 3 of my favourite things from the new Annual Catalogue.

The 3 favourite items I have used on this card (you can check them out in the links at the end of the post) are: 

• The Hand-Penned Petals Suite (but you already knew that from previous posts, right?)
• The gorgeous Encircled in Beauty Dies. I love how circle dies break up the straight lines in cards.
• The Hand-Penned Memories and More Cards and Envelopes. I LOVE these! They are pre-printed and ready to go, plus incredible value. Just $17.50 for 20 cards and coordinating patterned envelopes. They make a perfect card base for stamped cards, or cards made using the elements in the Hand-Penned Memories and More card pack.

The secons layer of the card is a strip of the Hand-Penned DSP (5cm wide x 13.5cm) with a banner end cut in one end. The largest Encircled in Beauty die is a great size to use with this image. I stamped the image in Basic Gray, and over-stamped the flower using Pale Papaya. For the leaves, I used my Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends to colour them. This picks up the colours in the Hand-Penned DSP I have used as the first layer. To finish my card off, I have used some of the Genial Gems from the Hand-Penned Suite. 

Thanks for checking out today's card.

Stampin' Up! Bloom Where You are Planted Suite and Plentiful Plants Bundle

Hello stamping friends. 

Today I have a card that is perfect for the plant lovers (and that's me too!). This thank you card, features a brand new suite in the 2021 - 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue, called Bloom Where You are Planted. The centre piece in this bundle is the Plentiful Plants Bundle of stamp set and coordinating dies. There is also a delightful plant themed Bloom Where You are Planted Designer Series Paper and some paper lattice pieces.

I have used Soft Succulent (a new 2021 InColor) as the base card, and the brick paper is from the Bloom Where You are Planted DSP. 

For this card, the posts and plants were actually cut from the DSP using the dies which coordinate with the images in a couple of the sheets of the paper. I also fussy cut a couple of others using paper snips. The macrame hanger and the pot stand were cut from Crumb Cake Cardstock using the dies. The lattice was sponged with Early Espresso ink (it comes as Kraft thick paper) so there was more definition between the bricks and the lattice. I tied a double layer of linen thread around the top of the card.

Here's a look at the bundle so you can see the leaves and pot dies included (that also coordinate with the paper - VERY cool).

The sentiment is the only thing stamped on this stamp set! I have used Early Espresso ink to stamp the greeting on Crumb Cake cardstock, and used the Everyday Label Punch to cut this out (I then trimmed some excess from the top and bottom of the label using my trimmer).

The good news is, you can buy all of these scrumptious products in one suite, all together. It's called the Bloom Where You are Planted Suite and you can find it HERE in my Online Stampin' Up! Store.

I'm looking forward to playing lots more with this beautiful bundle, and stamping some of the images too. Here are some projects from the Stampin' Up! designers using this suite.
