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:

Suite Showcase #12 - Bright & Beautiful

Happy Summer Solstice everyone and welcome,

Today as this blog goes live (21^st June 2023) the temperature where I live is going to be sunny with highs of 25 degrees, I am fortunate that I’m only a short car journey to the start of some gorgeous beaches.

Anyway, over to the latest Suite Showcase with Joanna (PurrfectlyCreative) and I where we were crafting with the gorgeous Bright and Beautiful suite by Stampin’ Up!

For this showcase I decided to use the Memories & More cards and the matching cards and envelopes as there were some cards that I truly loved.  I knew I needed to create birthday cards using these and they were ideal, I just incorporated both the Charming Sentiments and Color & Contour stamp sets and their co-ordinating die sets to add greetings and decoration.

 

Here are the colours that I used from the Bright & Beautiful suite:

For the first card I embossed a piece of Lost Lagoon card and die-cut the card before adding the heat embossed greeting.

I loved creating this second card and it was really easy to do, I just cut out the balloon image and attached to the card with the flowers.

The third card was my favourite one to  create, the balloon background allowed for the perfect birthday card and by using the candle dies it offered the finishing touches.

In total I made five cards, here are the other two:

It was lovely playing with these cards, as you can see in each photo I have stood the card I created on the original Memories & More cards that were used on my cards and you can see what I have done with each of them.  Once I had made these cards there was more than enough leftover for me to continue craft with. I plan to make more cards and even use them for scrapbooking.

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 #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:

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!

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:
