Dear Crafters,
Now that I am in Brisbane for the OnStage Live Stampin’ Up! event for 3 days, I can share with you my swaps!
When we attend live events, we make card fronts only to swap with our demonstrator friends for the hour or so before it all begins. The excitement is rich and full of chatter as we meet new people and swap to gain ideas that we may not have thought of creating.
Anyway, here is what I created for this year’s event.
I am not a confident creator of the vintage style, but I do love it and wanted to have a go seeing as this stamp set has the lacy style stamp.
The floral image is coloured with Stampin’ Write Markers and the white flowers are coloured using the AquaPainter filled with bleach and dipped into a little White Craft Ink just for something a little bit different!
What do you think of my swaps?
Stamp Sets: Awesomely Artistic, Touches of Texture
Cardstock: Tip Top Taupe, Emerald Envy
Inks: Craft Whisper White, Black Stazon, Tip Top Taupe
Stampin’ Write Markers: Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder
Other: Big Shot, Elegant Dots TIEF, Banner Triple Punch, Tombo Multipurpose Glue, Paper Snips, Ruched Ribbon, Aqua Painter, Bleach, Handheld Stapler, Trimmer, Distress Tool
All Catalogues and the Clearance Rack are available online here! They are full of amazing new products and wonderful full colour picture inspiration. It is a must have for anyone interested in Ink, Paper and Stamps!

Dear Crafters,
Today some of the Art with Heart Stampin’ Up! team girls are sharing some wonderful ideas to inspire you with our Designer Series Papers. This month is the start of the new Stampin’ Up! year and we have a special promotion on our Designer Series Paper, buy 3 get 1 FREE for the month of October and there is no limit!
You have come to my blog from the lovely, Monika O’Neill. Blogs are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post is a link to the next. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links.
Now let’s get started!
I have a double spread scrapbook layout using the Candy Cane Lane DSP, Cookie Cutter Bundle & Star of Light stamp set.
I haven’t done any journalling, as I have created this ready for Christmas this year, and it really isn’t that far away!
Every December, my girls and I make gingerbread men and tiny gingerbread houses and we decorate them. It takes us the whole weekend but we have made it our annual tradition.
My next project features the Blooms & Bliss DSP. I adore the colours in this paper pack; Blushing Bride, Island Indigo, Mint Macaron, Rich Razzleberry, Sahara Sand, Sweet Sugarplum & Whisper White.
The sentiment is from the Suite Sayings stamp set. The flower is from the Crazy About You stamp set and coordinating punch, Flower Medallion.
This card uses the same Blooms & Bliss DSP, but in the blue tones!
The next DSP to feature is from the Holiday catalogue, Presents & Pinecones. This has been my favourite paper pack this season! This is a shaker card using the Delicate Ornament thinlits.
My final project for today features the Floral Bouquet DSP with the Crazy About You stamp set and coordinating Medallion punch.
I love the classic blue and white of these papers.

Happy Stamping,
Dear Crafters,
I had a card making class on 8th October where we I taught the baby wipe technique!
If you need to make a few cards at a time, this technique is a great way to start. I have used the same technique, but multiple stamp sets for a different look!
The ink colours I have used are: Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Dapper Denim & Island Indigo!
There are loads of tutorials on YouTube if you have never tried this technique before.
This cards uses the Bloomin’ Love stamp set and the Happy Heart Textured Impression Embossing Folder.
This next card uses the Floral Phrases stamp set.
Don’t you just love that colour variation as the inks blend together on the baby wipe?!!
And my 3rd and final card for this post, is a sweet cupcake card!
Just check out that frosting and the ribbon I’ve tied in a knot rather than a bow if I was making a feminine card!
What do you think of today’s cards?
Why don’t you give the baby wipe technique a go!

Dear Crafters,
I have a different type of card today that can also be used as a gift. It has a card on the top and a little pull out box underneath to place a gift!
I have used the Birthday Blooms stamp set and the water colouring technique. Yes, I know, I have a long way to go with my water colouring, but hey, I had a go!
I also didn’t have any water colour paper, so I used the Shimmery White card stock, so maybe that didn’t help.
The ink colours I have used with my Aqua Painter were: Melon Mambo, Real Red, Pink Pirouette, Delightful Dijon, Dapper Denim, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green!
Oh and here is another one I made with the gorgeous Rudolf on the front!

Dear Crafters,
Today I have used the Collage technique with the Awesomely Artistic stamp set.
I embossed the island indigo base card with the Floral Affection TIEF.
Next, I cut a piece of whisper white card to 2.5″ x 3.5″ and stamped the You’ve Got This background stamp across one corner.
Then I stamped the Awesomely Artistic images layering them in a collage format, using mint macaron, island indigo and bermuda bay inks.
I stamped the sentiment and border onto whisper white card and cut it out with paper snips. I added some rhinestones for a little bling!
I added silver glimmer ribbon by stapling it to the top then adding the tag with dimensionals!
My style is not in the form of collage stamping, but I was happy with this!

Dear Crafters,
Today I have used the baby wipe technique with the Touches of Texture stamp set.
I die cut the Layered Squares framelits into the front of the A5 Emerald Envy card.
Next, I stamped the leaves (emerald envy) onto whisper white card stock and then the outline of the flower with dapper denim ink. I used the large splatter stamp with crushed curry ink and put that behind the flower.
I squirted some drops of crushed curry, blushing bride & soft sky onto some baby wipes that are sitting on a plastic plate, then pressed the stamp into it and then onto the flower!
I added a gold glimmer sentiment, hello from the Hello you thinlits and some emerald envy thick baker’s twine in a double bow!
I was super happy with the look of this one!

Dear Crafters,
Today I have a card in a box (sometimes known as explosion box card) which I was asked to make for a work colleague to give to a family friend for an 80th birthday!
It’s been a while since I have made one of these, but I do love them and I enjoyed making this one. I had to refer to my Free Tutorial for the measurements, it’s been so long!!!!
The brief was that she is a crafty person, who enjoys sewing. Well, I didn’t have anything along those lines, but what lady doesn’t love flowers and butterflies, right?!!!!
I love these colours together too.
What do you think of this card in a box? I have a written tutorial under Free Tutorials on my blog or click here to go straight to the link!

Dear Crafters,
Here’s a nifty technique for a squash card or triple diamond fold card. I’m not entirely sure what it is called but this is mine!
Basically, I started with 3 squares of card measuring 6″ x 6″. Score each piece in half, rotate 90 degrees and score in half again. Then score from one corner to the opposite corner but only do this once on each of the 3 pieces.
Each of the individual squares are now 3″ x 3″ so cut 8 DSP squares at 2-3/4″. Then cut 6 of these (saving 2 for the front and back) diagonally and paste them to the inside of the card.
Also cut 4 x blushing bride squares measuring 2-3/4″ and glue them to the centre squares then stamp on them.
here it is fully open ~ sometimes I have made these with photos placed inside as a lovely memory keepsake!!!
There are many tutorials on YouTube for this Squash card, so be sure to check them out!
Can you see the Wink of Stella on the flower petals?
