Suite Showcase #18 - All About Autumn

Hello,

As summer comes to an end we approach the most beautiful season of all, Autumn is my favourite colour.  I didn't realise this until sometime last year when I looked at my winter wardobe as it consists of warm oranges, yellows and browns.

So when it came to creating this project for this months Suite Showcase I was super excited as we would be using the All About Autumn Suite by Stampin' Up!  as it contains all of my favourite colours:

For a change I decided to create a 3D project and I had recently purchased a cork placemat that I was going to turn into a wallhanger  (one I get my drill back).

When I was planning this I knew I would have great fun creating all of the leaves using a variety of different methods.

I had used the dies to cut out one sheet of All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP) and used both sides of the SDSP for variety, I used the leaves spine to cut out the Oxidized Copper paper.  

In addition to this, I also used a few of the Classic Stampin' Ink Refills in the above colours and used the Wet Wipe technique to add the blended colours on the Cajun Craze cardstock.

Once they were arranged on the cork placemat I the added the Copper and Natural ribbon and finished off with the Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots, it all co-ordinated just like autumn does.

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

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my wall hanger and if you would like to see more projects using this suite you can head on over to Joanna's (Purrfectly Creative) to see what she has created.

Suite Showcase #17 - Earthen Elegance

Happy September to you all, 

Welcome to another Suite Showcase as we start to move onto the Autumn season of crafting before we start crafting for the festive season.  For this Showcase we have chosen to use Stampin' Up!'s Eathen Elegance Suite which is very neutral in colour.

I truly had no idea what to craft, I had thought about cards and then I thought about scrapbooking pages but I really couldnt make my mind up. However, I then had a brainwave after a visit to a National Trust property:

          

Belton House

Grantham.

Here is that brainwave, voila a mini scrapbooking album...

To be fair, it is a mini scrapbook album with lots of pages that fold out or fold down to allow for lots of photos and journalling to be added when I complete it over the next week or two.  I made the inside by using card blanks and builded onto it as I expanded the pages.

Here are some more photos of the insides:

When I was constructing this album I used the Stampin' Up products listed below and the only additional item that I used was two pieces of thick card (like chipboard) that had been included with some foil card as packaging:

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 #15 - Les Shoppes

Hello and welcome back!

This is the first one of the month and as the weather is not exactly the best this summer in Norfolk, so I have been happily crafting to avoid getting caught in all of the rain.  This time we will be showing you the Les Shoppes suite by Stampin’ Up! I wanted to focus on the lovely Designer Series Paper (DSP).  This suite was also used in my fortnightly Stamp-a-Stack class and it was lovely seeing what the ladies created themselves using the same products as I had.

It has been a while since I made a six-inch card, so I decided to make two of them.  

For this card, I chose the images off the sheets of shops and the decided upon which colour card I wanted as the mount, for this one it was Crumb Cake.  I used two shops and made the canopy 3D by attaching another on top.

By picking out the colours in the card, I was able to stamp some leaves in co-ordinating colours and then punch them out using the bough punch.

I have always had a weakness for a lovely Embossing Folder so when they add type font into the mix it means the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder becomes my go to product.  Also to add greenery to the cards I chose to use my favourite punch - Bough Punch and the Layering Leaves stamp set.

With the second card I stamped all over the card using the dots and I wanted the leaves to be in the background to represent hedges.

By adding another fussy cut shop out and another canopy on top, from an incomplete shop I was abble to add more definition. 

I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog post, below is a link to the products that I have used on creating these cards:

I will be adding the cards from my Stamp-a-Stack cards class to another blog post, so I hope you will visit again to see what I have made.  Her is the link for the upcoming blog post - Les Shoppes cards.  This post will go live on 14th August.

Thank you so much for spending your time looking at my cards and I hope you will enjoy popping over to Joanna's (Purrfectly Creative) blog to see what she has created with this suite.

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 #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:
