Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose birthday card with ink blending.

Hello friends. Happy Monday! 

Today I wanted to share with you a birthday card I made using the Abigail Rose suite in the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. It's such a pretty suite! 

Stampin Up Cottage Rose / Abigail Rose 2022 Birthday Card

The suite comprises of the Cottage Rose Bundle, the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper and the Natural Finish Ribbon. You can either buy the items together in a suite, or individually. Browse the suite and it's components HERE in my online store.

Suite

I really love the DSP designs in this suite. The ledger design is a a great neutral, and it was easy to add some additional colour to the rose patterned design by using my blending brushes and some Blushing Bride ink. I have used Crumb Cake as the base card, and Blushing Bride under the sentiment layer.

The ribbon in this suite is GORGEOUS. It's a really soft neutral that coordinates perfectly with our linen thread and many of our neutral cardstocks. I have used the Elegant Faceted Gems to add some additional embellishment.

Stampin Up Texture Chic Suite / Season of Chic Thinking of You Card

Today's card uses one of my favourite suites from the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue; the Texture Chic Suite. I love the vintage vibes in this set and the many opportunities for layering. The stamp set has a really good range of sentiments too, which makes it a versatile one to add to your collection (get the bundle with the coordinating dies and save 10% on both).

The Texture Chic Designer Series Paper is a specialty paper and has gold foiled highlights on one side. This coordinates really well with the gorgeous Distressed Gold Specialty Paper which is also part of this suite. This image shows the foiling better.

Soft Succulent and Petal Pink are just two of the gorgeous colours which you will find in this suite. I love the wide variety of dies in the bundle, especially the netting and the dies which have an outline and a solid section to layer. So much opportunity to create texture.

For my embellishments, I have added in the Elegant Faceted Gems and some Linen Thread. My sentiment (from the Season of Chic stamp set)  is embossed in gold.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Watercolour Birthday Card

Hello stamping friends.

As I mentioned in previous posts, it's World Watercolour Month  in July, so here's a watercolour birthday card for you using the Cottage Rose bundle from the Stampin Up 2022 Annual Catalogue.

The paper is the Abigail Rose DSP which is part of the same suite that includes the Cottage Rose bundle. It's called the Abigail Rose Suite, and you can find it on page 56/57 of the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. The sentiment is from the same set. The embellishments I have added are Linen Thread and one of the Brushed Metallic Dots on the folded DSP corner.

For the watercolouring, I have used ink from the inside of my ink pads and Water Painters. I used Blushing Bride for the flower, Garden Green for the leaves and a bit of Crumb Cake around the other foliage poking out behind the rose.

My style of watercolouring is a messy, vintage look and I don't always stay within the lines. I like that though and it's less pressure so more relaxing! I did an in depth video some time ago showing my style of watercolouring, so have a look if you would like more information about what I do. I LOVE watercolouring. It's my favourite way to add colour to cards.

 

You can also view lots of other examples of my watercoloured cards HERE.

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.

Stampin Up Daffodil Daydream 'Just for You' Card with Step-by-Step Instructions

Hi friends,

I made this Daffodil Daydream card on the weekend and couldn't wait to share it with you. The Daffodil Daydream stamp set and bundle is in the 2022 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue, and I have also used the coordinating Daffodil Afternoon DSP. This paper is only available until March 16th as part of Saleabration (earn if FREE with a $90 order before postage).

Stampin Up Daffodil Daydream card by Claire Daly Stampin Up Demonstrator, Melbourne, Australia.

 

Step-by-step instructions to make today's card (find any of the products used, by using the links at the end of my post):

  • I started my card with a Petal Pink card base, and then added a layer (10cm x 14.3cm) of Petal Pink which I had embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder (such a gorgeous vintage effect). 
  • Next I added a piece of layering vellum 9cm x 12.5cm. This is a new product in the 2022 January Mini catalogue and it's really gorgeous. There are various designs and some are printed in black, some in white. Perfect for adding some additional layers.
  • Then I have added three strips of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP in coordinating patterns. Each strip is 3cm x 13cm.
  • The image is stamped in black Stazon onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper. It was cut out using one of the Scalloped Contour dies.
  • To colour the image, I have used my Water Painter, and the following ink colours: Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Polished Pink.
  • My greeting is from Celebrating You stamp set in the 2022 Mini Catalogue, and is stamped in black Stazon. 
  • I finished off my card with some Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim, some Linen Thread and Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots which are a carry over product from last years July to December Mini Catalogue.
