Mother’s Day – Page 5 – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

Dear Crafters,

Today I bring you another AWHT blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. Today our focus is on Mother’s Day!

You have come to my blog from the lovely, Judy May.

Now let’s get started!

Because our focus is on Mother’s Day, I cannot go past flowers! What mum doesn’t love flowers, I know I sure do 🙂

For my project, I have used the Flower Shop Bundle and the Petite Petals Bundle.

Flower Shop

I have used Rose Red as my card base. I die cut the circles using the Circles Framelits on the front of the card. I used two sizes and placed them onto the Magnetic Platform so they stay still and don’t move.

Next I punched out two 1″ circle punches and added 2 dimensionals as shown, before putting the second circle on top!

Stamp the flowers on the front of the card, then turn it over and add dimensionals (doubled up). Add some ribbon around the bottom of the card between the dimensionals and tie in a knot at the front left hand side of the card. Take the paper off the dimensionals and attach it to the front of the card base.

Place the small circles under the inner edge of the framelit as shown below.

Add a 2 dimensionals, doubled up to the back of the centre circle and slide it between the layers of the small circle so that the small circle will now move around the large circles.

Attach all the extra embellishments with dimensionals.

Flower Shop

Be sure to stamp the inside panel of the card and the envelope for a complete set.

I originally saw a similar idea on Dawn Griffith‘s blog.

Dear Crafters,

It’s only another week and half until Sale-a-bration ends for another year 😦

Today, I share a card using the Love is Kindness stamp in some of my favourite colours; Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon and Sahara Sand.

Love is Kindness

The base card is Sahara Sand with another layer stamped with the Dictionary background stamp in coordinating ink and sponged edges.

I then added a layer of the Sahara Sand Lace Trim from the Occasions Catalogue. The next layer is Crisp Cantaloupe with Lost Lagoon and the top layer is Whisper White. On this top layer I stamped the Love is Kindness image in Black ink and coloured the stems with Lost Lagoon and the blooms with the Calyspo Coral Blendabilities. The wrap around the flowers was stamped again onto Sahara Sand card and fussy cut before adding to the white card.

I added some Crisp Cantaloupe sequins to the bottom with glue dots!

Love is Kindness

I even added a coordinating Calyspo Coral ribbon bow.

I stamped the inside of the card as well with the Dictionary background stamp, something that is a must in all my cards, as you know, along with the envelope!

Aren’t they just stunning colours together?!!

Blendabilities Update

I am VERY sad to share this news with you that the Blendabilties alcohol markers have been discontinued, as some have arrived dry to our customers. In a nutshell, the manufacturer is unable to correct the problem and provide Stampin’ Up! with a solution. Therefore the product line has been discontinued. The good news is that Stampin’ Up! is committed to ONLY selling the BEST products available, so rather than ship a defective product and continue to send replacements, they have made this decision.

The Memento Black Ink pad and refill will still be available (and that’s great news because it’s an awesome black inkpad!)

What should you do?

If you currently have a pack of Blendabilities on backorder that you purchased, do nothing, you will receive a refund from Stampin’ Up! within the next month.

If you feel you have a defective package of Blendabilities, please contact Stampin’ Up! Demo Support at 1 800 787 867.

If you need ideas for colouring your images, we still have our great Stampin’ Write Markers, our Blender Pens, and our AquaPainters to use with your Stampin’ Up! ink pads.

Note: due to the unavailability of the Blendabilities as part of the advertised Sale-a-bration offering, some of the other Sale-a-bration products MAY run out. Stamp sets will be available through to 31^st March, but the other items MAY risk selling out.

There is under 3 weeks left of Sale-a-bration, so if you want your free gifts, be sure to add them to your order of $90+.

Have a wonderful day!
