Stampers Workshop - Independent Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator

Forever & Always (Forever & Always / True Love DSP)

by Kylie April 22, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing another card featuring the very lovely True Love Designer Series Paper. It is, in my opinion, the best paper pack in the January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue. I cannot stop creating with it. I know it will be a favourite of yours too.

I’ve paired this beautiful paper with the coordinating Forever & Always bundle (stamps and dies are also available separately). It’s such a pretty bundle and I also really love the die strips you can cut. It makes it so easy to create the perfect sentiment strip.

For this card, I used two papers from the True Love Designer Series Paper pack – the black dots on white paper and one of the floral designs. The polka dot paper became the background. The other paper I coloured with Soft Sea Foam and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, fussy cut them out and adhered them to the background. I also added a coat of Wink of Stella to give them that pretty shimmer.

Here’s the card…

To make it easier to pop up the Always sentiment I added Foam Adhesive to the cardstock before running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine. Depending on your die-cutting machine, you might need to run the die through a couple of times but it does cut smoothly. The Always sentiment is from the Always dies set.

The True Love Designer Series Paper is so gorgeous! If you love it as much as I do, it is available now in my online store. Simply click on the link here.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Designer Series Paper Many Messages Thank you

Thank You for being You (Many Messages / True Love DSP) and a quick and easy tip for spattering on your cards

by Kylie April 20, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of my favourite products in the current January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue is the True Love Designer Series Paper. Have you seen it? It’s on page 11 of the catalogue. What I love about it is that as well as having gorgeous floral designs, it also has versatile graphic designs. These papers can be used for so many different occasions!

Today’s card is made using two of the different designs of paper from the True Love Designer Series Paper. I’ve used one of the striped designs for the background. On a piece of floral paper, I’ve coloured in the floral image with the Stampin’ Blends (Granny Apple Green and Flirty Flamingo). I’ve then fussy cut this image out and popped it up on my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The card is finished off with a sentiment from the Many Messages bundle. It’s so easy.

Here’s the card…

I have a couple of tips for creating this card. Firstly, I used the Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends to colour in the Pearls so they matched my card perfectly. Secondly, I used the Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends to create the spattered look on the Basic White cardstock. As I often get asked about this technique, I did a short Facebook Live yesterday to show how it is done and I’ve uploaded it below.

Here’s a quick and easy tip to create a fun spattered look…

The True Love Designer Series Paper is one of my favourite patterned paper packs in the Stampin’ Up!® range at the moment. I think it can be used in so many different ways, and to create so many different looks. I cannot wait to share more cards using this fabulous paper! If you love it as much as I do, you can get it from my online store. Simply click on the link here.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Birthdays Simply Succulents Vine Design

Happy Birthday (Simply Succulents / Vine Design)

by Kylie April 18, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, recently one of my sweet friends celebrated her birthday. As she loves plants and succulents, in particular, the only choice of product to create her card with was the Simply Succulents bundle.

After stamping the main images in Black Memento ink, I coloured the design in with an assortment of Stampin’ Blends (including Soft Succulent and Pale Papaya which will be available from 4 May 2021). Some of my colouring choices were inspired by one of the sample cards in the new catalogue.

The card base and patterned papers are in Soft Succulent. The sentiment, from Vine Design, was stamped on Fresh Freesia (another new InColor) cardstock.

The stamped image was finished off with a coat of Wink of Stella to add a nice subtle shimmer.

Here’s the card…

I’m so happy with how this card has turned out and I hope my friend loves it as well.

What do you all think of the new 2021-2023 InColors? Are you looking forward to getting them too? I think you are going to find they (along with the new Polished Pink and Evening Evergreen) really do go a long way to rounding out the colours in the Stampin’ Up!® range.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Art Gallery Thank you

Thank You (Art Gallery)

by Kylie April 16, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, last weekend I caught up with my friend, and team leader, Melissa. We spent a few hours crafting…okay, mostly chatting…in her new studio (which is SO fabulous!). I had brought with me quite a few supplies including a lot of half-finished projects. As I was showing Melissa some of the items she encouraged me to actually finish at least one of the cards. So, I did, and I am sharing it today! I really don’t know why I sat on it for so long! I want to encourage you to finish some of your unfinished projects too!

My card is actually quite simple, and pretty. It features the beautiful Art Gallery Bundle and paper from the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper pack.

Here’s the card…

Normally when I create a card like this which has a little sentiment strip, I’d emboss with white embossing powder on Basic Black cardstock. For this card, I decided the Basic Black cardstock might be a little too dark and so I chose to use Basic Gray instead. This is such a great substitute!

Don’t forget the items on the Retiring List are selling out! Many have already gone including the Subtles Embossing Folder and the Stitched Shapes Dies which I used in making the above card. If you have your eye on something, please don’t wait too long.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Blog Hop Challenge Hydrangea Haven Thank you

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #29: Fancy Fold Cards

by Kylie April 14, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for our April 2021 Blog Hop is to create a card with a Fancy Fold.

Here’s the Challenge…

Here’s the card…

I chose to create a Double Z Fold card using the Hydrangea Hill suite connection. It was a fun card to make. I messed up the maths a few times, and I also cut the cardstock in the wrong spot a time or two as well. Has this ever happened to you? Oh, well, despite it all, I think it was all worth it in the end!

Let’s continue on the hop…

You might have come here from Nikki Stalker’s blog. Next up, please hop along to Sharon Wilson’s blog. Here’s a list of all the participants:

by Kylie April 13, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I’m excited to tell you all about a new exclusive Paper Pumpkin Kit which was released today. What is Paper Pumpkin? Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription service, usually only available in the USA, which offers a unique variety of paper projects for crafters of any skill level to enjoy! Very occasionally, Stampin’ Up!® releases a kit to the global market and we all get pretty excited when this happens. The kits are always lovely!

The new kit – Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit – provides a way to offer comfort, care, and condolences to those enduring life’s challenges. With beautiful blooms and supportive sentiments, this kind-hearted kit will allow you to soothe others’ sorrow and share your sympathy in a heartfelt, handmade way! While you can create nine comforting cards—three each of three designs, plus coordinating envelopes—with the kit’s components, the versatile stamp set included in the kit can be used to uplift loved ones during trying times, any time. If you got the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper during Sale-A-Bration, you can combine it with the kit’s extra elements and enjoy even more coordinated cardmaking!

Please note, this kit does not come with an acrylic block so you will need to use one from your own supplies, or if you are new, or giving it as a gift, purchase Clear Block D.

Here’s the kit…

The Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit contains enough supplies to create nine comforting cards and coordinating envelopes that you can use to soothe others’ sorrow, supply them with strength, and share your sympathy.

Your kit includes:
• Bouquet of Hope Photopolymer Stamp Set

Here’s a short video look at the kit…

The kit, as mentioned above, does not come with a clear block. If you are a regular stamper, then you will definitely have one in your stash. If you are new to stamping, I recommend you purchase Clear Block D as well. When you get your kit you attach the stamps to the block so you can stamp out the images.

The Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit is a limited edition release and will only be available while supplies last.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Birthdays CASE the Catalogue Fancy Phrases

Birthday Wishes (Fancy Phrases)

by Kylie April 10, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, with the end of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue rapidly approaching, I decided to re-create a few of the cards in the catalogue which have inspired me over the twelve months. Today’s card is featured on page 52 and it features the Fancy Phrases stamp set. I’ve recreated the card fairly faithfully although I’ve used a different sentiment and colouring medium (I used Stampin’ Blends).

Here’s the card…

This card also features the fun technique of using your Stampin’ Blends to alter ribbon. In this case, I used the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends to add lines of colour to the white ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. This is one of my favourite techniques as you can colour white ribbon to perfectly match any of your card projects.

Don’t forget the items on the Retiring List are selling out! Many have already gone. If you have your eye on something, please don’t wait too long. Once they are gone…they’re gone!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Birthdays Peaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Peaceful Moments / Many Layered Blossoms)

by Kylie April 7, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and hopefully you were able to spend time with your loved ones! We enjoyed a quiet Easter and we’ve taken the opportunity to go on a few day trips. It’s been quite relaxing and peaceful. Unfortunately, that means I haven’t done any creating of late!

When I did sit down to create, I decided to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) a card featured in the January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue. I loved it the moment I saw it! It’s on page 28 if you are interested in seeing the original. The card features the Many Layered Blossoms die set which is such a lovely die set. It enables you to, well…layer, the pieces and create a beautiful floral piece. I chose to use the colours featured in the catalogue – Basic White, Blushing Bride, Magenta Madness and Rococo Rose (unfortunately this colour of cardstock has retired and is no longer available).

I also made sure to add Adhesive Sheets to the cardstock before I die cut the pieces so that it was easier to stick all the pieces together.

The greeting I used came from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. The sample in the catalogue used a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set.

For the final touch, I added some Braided Linen Trim (the sample in the catalogue used the Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim) and a few of the Ladybug Trinkets.

Here’s the card…

Isn’t the Many Layered Blossoms die set GORGEOUS?! Imagine all the different colour combinations you could use! So much fun!

Just a reminder, items on the Retiring List are selling out FAST! If you have your eye on something, please don’t wait too long. Once they are gone…they’re gone!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

by Kylie April 1, 2021

written by Kylie

Happy April 2021! There’s so much happening behind the scenes with Stampin’ Up!® this month. We started the Pre-Order period for the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue (and I think you are going to love the new things coming). I placed my order late last night (one of the perks of living in Western Australia) so I am hoping my goodies will arrive by the end of next week! Keep your fingers crossed! I cannot start sharing any sneak peeks or pictures until later in the month but if you cannot wait, then consider signing up yourself (you are able to add items from the Pre-Order into your Starter Kit).

Speaking of the new catalogue, if you have placed an order with me any time over the past six months until 30 March, I have arranged for a complimentary catalogue to be sent directly to you. If you placed an order in the last couple of days, I will be sending you a complimentary catalogue as soon as I get my order. Keep an eye on your mailbox!

Another fun thing happening this month is the Demonstrator only OnStage event which is all about the launch of the new catalogue. It’s being spread over a couple of different dates and I’m attending mine on April 17. I cannot wait!! Once again, I cannot share anything yet but as soon as I can…I sure will!

Of course, we also have the latest challenge from the StampingPals and there’s a new Host Code for April! Let’s get into it…

Hostess Code – April 2021

The new Hostess Code for April is now live. When ordering please use the code DUDVGUTN if your order is less than $250 to receive a little thank you gift from me. If your order is over $250, please do not use this code as you will be entitled to your own Hostess Benefits (plus you’ll still receive a little thank you gift from me).

StampingPals Challenge #14 | Sketch Challenge

The new StampingPals challenge began today. We have a Sketch Challenge for our theme this month. All you need to do is create a card based on the sketch and then upload it to the InLinkz form on the blog. One of the participants will also be invited to create a card and have it featured alongside our Design Team in June 2021. We hope you will enjoy playing with us!

Here’s to a happy April, everyone!
