Suite Showcase #13 - Masterfully Made

 Welcome to the first Suite Showcase of July,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog to see what Joanna (Purrfectly Creative) and I have created using the Gorgeously Made suite from Stampin' Up!  

This suite was really nice to work with and there are twelve colours in the Designer Series Paper (DSP) to use, I chose to use these colours as they really worked with the cards I had planned.

This suite ws also used for my clases Stamp-a-Stack at the end of June and we all loved playing with it, and I chose to make the samples below for the Ladies to craft with using their kits.

For the first card I was so excited to use the notebook die to create a topper for this card, I didn't want to cover the DSP too much as it is really pretty.  I truly do love and type sort of font as it just adds that little ectra something to a card.

On the second card, I wanted to show both sides of the same piece of DSP and this was achieved using the torn effect die and flipping one piece over, by adding some vellum cardstock that were die-cut using both of the leaves dies, I brushed the back of them in ink using a blending brish then on the front I used the same ink and the typed words stamp.  I gave a very subtle effect.

With the third card it didn't need much, so I cut the DSP and just added some ribbon and the greeting.  The DSP made a great background, in fact it was more than just a background, it was the main focus of the card.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this looking at what I have created with Stampin' Up!s Masterfully Made suite.  Don't forget to pop over and see what Joanna has made using the same suite.

Here are the products that I used in this Suite Showcase:

Suite Showcase #10 - Countryside Inn

 

Hello again,

Thank you for stopping by, as I type this blog it is a lovely sunny day and summer seems to be really on it is way, so let’s just hope it’s nice and long as I am not a fan of a cold and wet winter.

For this blog we chose to use Stampin’ Up!’s Countryside Inn Suite and what I truly loved about this suite is that the stamps and dies are not your typical style of dies, these stamps and dies are border stamps and dies and each shape has its own design so it will add extra dimension to your projects.

I could not wait to get crafting with this suite, I even used this in my Stamp-a-Stack class as soon as I received my order with it in, the ladies loved it.

We made these three cards in class:

I loved cutting out an aperture with one of the Border dies and attached the Country Bouquet embossed card on the inside of the card, then I decorated the front using a variety of Petal Park stamped and punched out flowers with the greetings from Sentimental Park as the finishing touch along with some beautiful embellishments.

 

With this card I wanted to show off the embossed Boho Blue card and incorporate some more punched out flowers with some white and gold heat embossed flowers too for extra detail.

 

On this card, the Designer Series Paper (DSP) is rather busy so I didn’t want to hide its beauty, so I added a gold frame and then even more flowers.  As you can see I got carried away making so many different flowers, but the fact that there is a punch for these made them so easy to make.

Whilst crafting for this Suite Showcase, I made some extra projects.  I love stationery and for ages I have wanted to start making Travellers Notebooks again, these gorgeous papers allowed me to start making them again.

 

As you can see, I have embossed the inside vellum sheet so it matched the Boho Blue front cardstock, then used even more flowers to give that little extra.  I have decided to create two more Travellers Notebooks and at some point, create a new co-ordinating cover too. 

With the leftovers, it would be rude not to make a little 10cm x 10cm Thank You card  and a 10cm notebook as I really enjoy making these because they are fun to make.

I have you have enjoyed looking at what I made, I have listed the products used below for you to have a look at:

If you pop on over to Joanna's (Purrfectly Creative) blog to see what she has created using the lovely Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn Suite.

Again, thank you for spending the time looking at my blog, I truly do apprecaite it and I hope to see you again.

Happy Crafting!

Casually Crafting - Anything Goes

 

Hello,

Welcome to my first blog post for the Casually Crafting Design Team, I am so excited and pleased to be involved.

I hope you are enjoying your journey on this blog hop as you visit different Demonstrators to see the various projects that have been created to the new and casual crafter.

It was with great pleasure that I chose to use the Dandelion WIshes stamp set that I purchased forever ago and only got around to it for this hop, I just love how easy it was to use and create these cards with.  This card was aimed at the new crafter as it just involved stamping.

For the casual crafter I wanted to inroduce a punch which I punched two pieces of card (one Basic White and the other in Night of Navy which I cut in half and split) and mounted the greeting onto Dimensional foam pads.

Well thank you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  It is now time for you to carry on with your blog hop journey and head on over to have a look at what Melva is working on.

Please see below the supply list of the products used in these projects:

Fun Fold Card - Boho Indigo

 

Hello and welcome to my latest blog post,

You will be joining me directly or from Karen as part of the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop where you will be visiting Demonstrators from around the world.  This month's challege was a 'Fun Fold' card and I loved how it reminded me of how much I like making different cards.

When I saw Boho Indigo Product Medley in the Annual Catalogue I knew I had to have it straightaway, however I never thought it would take me this long to play with it.  I wish I had played with it sooner as I loved, loved, loved using it.  It has so much potential and with so many components in the medley it offers great value for money and plenty of crafting opportunities.

I chose to make a 6" x 6" fun fold card so I couls add more to it and create special card to send to someone.  If you wanted to use A4 cardstock it is 14.85cm x 29.7cm and scored on the longest wide at 14.85cm.  By adding a bit of gold heat embossing  it complimented the gold in the medley.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  It is now time for you to carry on with your Stamp 'n Hop blog hop and head on over to have a look at what Cheryl is working on.

Anything but a card!

Hello and welcome,

Thank you for joining me as part of the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop.  Demonstrators from around the world will be sharing what projects that have created for this month's theme 'Anything but a card!'

I knew instantly that it was time to get my scrap on, so I dived into my mountains of photographs that I need to scrap with and found this gorgeous photopgraph of my three granddaughters (soon to be four of them) as Lexi-Lu returns back to school.

Usually I know what papers, stamps etc I am going to use as I already know which photograph I want to use to go with them, but this time I found the photo first and matched things up to the photo.

I could not believe how many colours in the photograph matched Stampin' Up! colours - the brick wall was an exact match to Cinnamon Cider, the weeds (lol) was Shaded Spruce, Isla's dress was Terracotta Tile with Cinnamon Cider dots.  I just love the co-ordination that Stampin' Up! has to offer across their range of products.

The date is mounted on a die-cut scallop circle (Layering Circles) and I used a gold hoop onto the Gold Foil as it just framed the date.  By adding the bow from the Forevery Greenery ribbon twin pack it added the finishing touches.

For the ribbon I used a darning needle and weaved the gold thread through the Very Vanilla ribbon and attached with double-sided tape.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  It is now time for you to carry on with your Crafty Collaboration blog hop and head on over to have a look at what the lovely Jo is working on.

Tis' the season

 

Hello and welcome to my latest blog post,

Thank you for joining me from Kim's post, as you join the Stampin' for Christmas Blog Hop where you will be visiting Demonstrators from around the world to see various projects that have been created for Christmas.

I chose to use a stamp set that was not designed for Christmas, I have been in love with the Floral Essence stamp set that is in the current Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

I love using my favourite embosing folder called Scripty 3D as it gives extra definition and although the script is not Christmas words it still look good.  

When the card is open the flower and greeting will remain on the inside but can be seen through the hole.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to read this post and I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  It is now time for you to carry on with your Stampin' for Christmas blog hop and head on over to have a look at what Vickie is working on.

Introducing the Butterfly Bouquet Collection

 

Hello and welcome to my latest blog post,

Lovely to see you as you join me as you hop around the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop where you will be visiting Demonstrators from around the world to see various projects that have been created using the Butterfly Bouquet Collection by Stampin' Up! products that are now available to purchase early as the stamp set and dies will be available in the upcoming new Stampin’ Up! new Annual Catalogue.

Recently as part of our team we all got together for our fortnighly Mystery Stamping, this was the layout that we made.

I truly enjoyed making these cards as the colours of the Butterfuly Bijou Designer Series Paper were so lovely and bright that they worked really well with the Basic Gray and Smoky Slate colours.

For the first time in ages I used Faux Stitching technique as it adds some nice accent to the cards, if I had thought quick enough I would have used my sewing machine and used real stitches.

  

In this collection you will find stamp set and dies which are an early realease in the new upcoming Annual Catalogue but the Natural and the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper are only available until the 3rd May 2021.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  It is now time for you to carry on with your Crafty Collaborations blog hop and head on over to have a look at what everyone is working on.
