Stamp-a-Stack with Les Shoppes Suite

Hello and welcome,

Every fortnight I run a Stamp-a-Stack class at my shop, The Crafty Corner Shop in Grimston and everyone who attends receives a goodie bag of Stampin' Up! products for them to use to create multiple cards that I have designed.  At the end of each class there is plentry of excess products left over for them to take home and craft with at their leisure.

On the 7th and 21st of each month I create projects for the Suite Showcase posts showing what I have created with the chosen Suite for each date.  For the first Suite Showcase of this month, I created two six inch cards using the Les Shoppes Suite by Stampin' Up!  

For the class we made the following cards using more of the products in the kits, it was great to see how versitile these shops were to use and how pretty they came out as greeting cards.

It was so theraputic fussy cutting the shops out, once I did this I chose which background I was going to use and how I was going to decorate them.  Here are two more:

 

Some of the shops allowed for portait cards, and by cutting under the canopy it meant dimension could also be added.

If you enjoyed reading this post and are interested in looking at the two cards I created for the Suite Showcase, then pop over to the Suite Showcase post and you can view them there. 

Here is a list of the products that I used when I created all of the cards in both the Suite Showcase and the Stamp-a-Stack:

Hope you will come back and see what I have created in future posts.

Suite Showcase #16 - Delightfully Eclectic

 

Hello and welcome to the second Suite Showcase of the month where I will be showing you what I have made using the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (DSP) by Stampin' Up!

There was so many options with this DSP pack as it contains 48 sheets of 12" x 12" (4 each of 12 double-sided designs) but I opted for these to sheets for my projects as they fitted my scrapbooking photos perfectly.  

For the first page I chose to use the paper with the swans on, it was a great contrast to the top that my lovely Floss was wearing whilst trying to drink the remainder of the froth in her Mum's coffee.  

I fell in love with the Gorgeously Made dies when I used them in a previous Suite Showcase post (link here) and I added flowers and leaves die-cuts to the page using Fresh Fressia, Bubble Bath and Old Olive cardstock after adding to them using the blending brushed.

As you can see, I have used the letters from the sheet to create the title for this page, they worked really well and I loved playing with them.

On the second page, I went for a completely alternative colour way as I wanted the pages to co-ordinate.  I tend to always do double-page spreads as they will be opposite each other in the album when they are finished.

As a massive Lego fan, I have always encouraged my granddaughters to play with the bricks from an early age, P (Penelope) adores it so I wanted to create bricks for this page as that was what she had been playing with when the photos were taken,  The bricks were created using small circle punch and mini dimensionals to give the 3D effect.

Well I hope you have enjoyed looking at these two scrapbooking pages, they were truly exciting to create and definitely will be scrapbooking more often.  Don't forget to pop over to Joanna's (Purrfectly Creative) blog and have a look at what she has created using the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack.

Suite Showcase #14 - Stargazing

Welcome to another Suite Showcase,

First of all, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this post, and hope to see you again for more posts in the future.  We post our Suite Showcase projects on the 7^th and 21^st of each month and we always use products out of the current catalogue(s).

So, for this Suite Showcase we will be using the Stargazing suite, when we decided on this suite back in November 2023 I thought “it’s ok, its ages away, the mojo will truly kick up some amazing ideas!” Well, I was so wrong.  

I truly had no idea what to do for this post as I only bought the DSP from the suite so I decided to create a scrapbook page with the intention of using the remaining Designer Series Paper (DSP) to create cards etc.

For this scrapbook page I knew I had to use my recent cat photos with my daughter Éloise, we had Hagrid come to visit so that meant Él would have them constantly walking all over her bed.

Once I had selected the photos, I then chose which DSP I was going to use and this proved hard as some were very space themed but thankfully, they had great reverse sides.  After layering the photos onto Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and attaching to the DSP with mini dimensionals, I then set to fussy cutting out the planets from two different DSPs to use them as circles, in case you didn’t know - I just love fussy cutting!

When I am taking photos, I realised that as I am looking through the lens the chances are I have already started deciding upon the title for the scrapbook page, friends said I was the crazy cat lady but I think the photos tell another story.

After using the Holographic Trio Specialty Paper and the Alphabet Á La Mode dies to create the page title with Stampin' Up!s adhesive sheets applied before the die-cutting as this allows them to be stuck to the page with ease.

To finish off the page I just added the Tinsel Gems four-pack embellishments. 

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

Suite Showcase #11 - Inked Botanicals

Hello and welcome to my latest blog post,

For this Suite Showcase we have selected the Inked Botanicals Suite which is a stamp set with two punches.  I loved using the punches as they are really quick and easy to use.

For the first card I was really punch happy creating the background for the card, I couldnt resist a bit of heat embossing and fussy cutting.

On this second card I used to lines stamp to create a kind of burlap background before stamping the stems and attaching the flower heads on mini dimesionals.

With the third card i used loads of strips of dsp (1.4cm x 10cm) and layer them up before puching an aperture out for the greeting.  Again, I used heat embossed flowers and fussy cut them out.

This suite is so versatile and offers so many opportunities for projects as there are vaious patterns to choose from on the 6" x 6" designer series papers.

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

Suite Showcase #9 - Fresh as a Daisy

Happy May to you all,

As always, I am so happy to see you and welcome you to this months Suite Showcase where we are showing you what we have created using Stampin’ Up!’s Fresh as a Daisy Suite. 

This is the first Suite Showcase from the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue and trust me when I say this, it is full of so many lovely products which are just great for all of your papercrafting projects.

In this suite there are so many beautiful colours including quite a few of the new colours from the Colour Refresh which started this month.

I really wanted to show you what I have created using just two pages of DSP, I fell in love instantly with one page of the paper and I knew it offered more than just a couple of cards. I started by cutting the paper into sections and then that allowed me to just get my craft on.

So far I have made a Card Case which holds five cards and envelopes.  I inserted a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) into a Stampin' Up! standard stamp case (#119105 p.151 Annual Catalogue) and then attached a piece of Copper Clay ribbon around the ouside.

Here are some more of the cards that I made... 

I could not resist cutting around the flowers on two of the cards so they became 3D and all of the cards had the flowers coloured with Wink of Stella to give a little bit of sparkle.  One thing I am not very good at doing is decorating my envelopes, but for the first time  I actually remembered to do this, well almost, I forget to do two of them.

The colours in this suite are truly gorgeous and I am going to say that Copper Clay and Pebbled Path are now my two favourite colours.

Just want to say thank you so much for taking the time to read this post, I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created so why not pop over to see what Joanna from Purrfectly Creative has made using thie Fresh as a Daisy Suite. 

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

Should you place an order over £25 in my online Stampin' UP! store I will mail you a free gift in the following month when you use this Hostess Code 'SSQU6Q7' and select me as your Demonstrator.

Suite Showcase #8 - Enjoy the Adventure

Hello and welcome,

Just want to say thank you for popping by to look at the second Suite Showcase of April 2023, these truly do come around quick.  

As an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator it has been a very busy and exciting month as we have so much exciting things happening - a colour refresh where there will be some current colours leaving, some old colours returning and some new colours.  We also got to preview and order from the new Annual Catalogue. I will be sharing more information on this over the next few weeks.

For this Suite Showcase we are showing you what we have made using the lovely Memories and More Cards that also have co-ordinating Cards and Envelopes too.  Both of these are reduced in price until the 1^st May 2023 where they will disappear when the new Annual Catalogue will be released.

Here are both of the products that I used for this months Suite Showcase, I truly did enjoy using these and so far I have produced five cards.

I loved creating card one, it involved me cutting the flower and greeting from one of the small 3” x 4” cards and using a strip off another card to create a banner on top of a 4” x 6” card. 

These were attached using several Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to give different heights.  

Once I had completed this I glued the topper onto a Basic Black card blank and added a bit of bling with the very versatile Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

For card two, I wanted to show the lovely Memories and More card blank. 

I chose to cut up another one of the small 3” x 4” cards and then placed it on another small card as this was perfect for the background, I inked around the edge of it before placing the greetings on top.  

Once I had attached the topper to the base card, I added a little jewel as the finishing touch.

Making card three was so easy, as I used a card blank and I then cut up two 3” x 4” cards and used the dog and hearts that were leftover from card two.  

I also added a sticker strip of hearts with Rhinestone Jewels to finish the card off.

You just never know when you will need 'Thinking of You' cards so I decided to make two cards using one of the small 3" x 4" cards and one of the 4" x 6" inch cards.

   

On card four (left), I just cut up the 3” x 4” card and used two of the flower stickers and added Rhinestone jewels to finish it off. 

With card five (right), I cut the strip out of the middle of the card and attached the top and strip onto a Basic Black card blank, rotated the bottom of the card so the flowers side was showing.  

Again, I finished off this card with a sticker and two Rhinestone Jewels.

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