New 2021 Forever and Always Bundle Valentines or Anniversary Card

January 11, 2021

Lots of shiny, foil goodness in today's card share. I am using the gorgeous foiled papers and Forever and Always bundle from the Love You Always product suite in the Stampin' Up! 2021 January to June Mini Catalogue.

I LOVE (excuse the pun) how this card turned out. There's actually three amazing papers in the Love You Always Product Suite (view the whole suite HERE).

The Love You Always Specialty Paper is the foiled patterned one I have used for the second layer which has four sheets each in Sahara Sand, Petal Pink and Rococo Rose. I have used the Rococo Rose with a Rococo Rose card base. The Love You Always Foil Sheets are the solid foil colours to coordinate with the patterned foil (which I have used for the die cut word), and the black and white True Love Designer Series Paper. is a standard DSP which is also great for colouring with Stampin' Blends and spongeing or brayering. I added a punched vellum heart underneath the start of my sentiment.

The Forever and Always bundle is a really great bundle for wedding, valentines and anniversary cards. I can also see it will be useful for scrapbooking, especially the great die-cut words.

I am particularly keen on the die cut words in this bundle. They have the great outline die as well, and several great words and phrases that coordinate with the big words. There are also little labels to cut these words out.

For the inside of the card I have just used a piece of Whisper White cardstock and a thin strip of DSP.

Stampin' Up! Forever & Always Bundle, with True Love Designer Series Paper

December 27, 2020

Hello friends. Today I have another Stampin' Up! card idea for you from products that will be available on January 5th in the new 2021 Stampin Up January to June Mini Catalogue. This card features the Forever and Always bundle, and the True Love Designer Series Paper. These products are perfect for wedding, engagement and velentines papercraft projects. I love them!

The bundle features the Forever and Always stamp set, and the Always dies which contains two large die-cut words (Love and Always), some labels to cut out other words in the stamp set, and some dies which cut out the flowers and leaves in the set. There are also dies to cut out outlines for both of the large words and I have used one of these in today's project.

The True Love Designer Series paper is a 12x12" 12 double sided paper pack entirely in black and white. It has floral images on one side, and patterns on the other. You can alter the paper by colouring it however you like: sponge brayering, using blending brushes or colouring with Stampin' Blends as I have have done with the flowers in this card. I have used a combination of Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. They blend nicely on this paper, just make sure you have something underneath the paper when colouring to protect your work surface.

Stampin' Up! Posted for You Bundle

July 01, 2020

Hello friends. Today I'd like to showcase what I think is my favourite new punch in the Stampin' Up! 2020 Annual Catalogue, the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch, and the coordinating Posted for You stamp set (buy them together for a 10% discount using the links at the end of the post).

This is such a great bundle which is really reasonably priced ($54 for the stamp set and punch together). It's a great way to use up little scraps of patterned paper, and you can make mini works of art too.

I embossed the 'Love' image in whote embossing powder onto watercolour paper, and added a watercolour wash of Blushing Bride. When that was dry, I added in some additional colour in a slightly more concentrated shade of Blushing Bride, on the leaves, flower and letters. The fine water painter in the trio of painters was perfect for this task.

The sentiment and round postage stamp image are included in the Posted for You stamp set and have been stamped in Gray Granite to coordinate with the Peony Garden DSP. The small heart is die cut from the Trio of Tags dies.

You might also spy some cute little embellishments on there. I LOVE these new Elegant Faceted Gems. There are 3 colours in two sizes in the pack: clear, pearlescent white and petal pink. They are the perfect addition to elegant cards as the name implies. I love them so much I just ordered a bunch of these at my shared host code gifts for June customers.

Your Creative Connection #108: Love is in the Air

May 28, 2020

Hello lovely crafters from around the world. Welcome back to another Your Creative Connection Global Showcase. Today's theme was chosen by Barbara Meyer and is 'Love Is in the Air'. I love being a part of this showcase with these amazingly talented global demonstrators!

I've chosen the Silhouette Scenes stamp set, and one of the new 2020-22 Stampin' Up! In Colours for my card today.

When I first started playing with Cinnamon Cider, the new 2020 In Colour I have used as my base card today, I really struggled. Now I totally LOVE the colour. It's such a great warm neutral and coordinates well with many colours. Here's today's colour combination.

I have used the Detailed Hearts Die in two ways to create the extra elements on my card. I embossed the Early Espresso cardstock strip using the die, and then I cut the die from Purple Posy cardstock to give me lots the little hearts (plus the base section and lots of leftovers for another project).

I can't wait to see how the Your Creative Connection team have interpreted this weeks theme. Next up is my lovely friend Dawn Olchefske in Minneapolis, USA,

If you get lost anywhere along the way, here's a list of the fabulous Your Creative Connection team who are participating.

Barbara Meyer - Austria

Kristine McNickle - New Zealand

Stampin' Up! Parisian Blooms Amour Card

January 22, 2020

Hello lovelies. Back with some more creations from the Stampin' Up! 2020 January to June mini catalogue and Saeabration catalogue.

Today I have another Paris themed card for you, which I created for my team card swap. I have used the Parisian Beauty Bundle. Unfortunately this isn't the best photo, as the tower looks grey or black, when really it's die cut foil cardstock in silver.

My base card and die cut word are in Petal Pink and the collage stamping is in Pool Party ink, with Basic Grey for the additional word stamping. I really like the script and 2 post mark stamps in the Parisian Beauty stamp set. They are great for backgrounds and collage stamping.

Also wanted to give you a sneak peek today of the fun fold card that my customers and subscribers received as their free PDF tutorial last weekend. I was delighted how this one turned out. It uses products from the Saleabration catalogue (Lovely Lily Pad stamp set, Lily Pad dies, Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper) but you could easily substitute other products. This one will also be included in this weekends PDF tutorial email on Friday or Saturday, so if you haven't already subscribed, there is time to do that.
