Birthday, Challenges, Flowers, Stampin' Up!

Balloon Celebration as flowers

Dear Crafters,

Today I enter a challenge at Pals Paper Arts. The challenge this week is an Colour Challenge PPA#283.

ppa-283-jan14

As soon as I saw this colour challenge, I knew I had to give it a go! This is one of my favourite colour combinations.

I started with a Mint Macaron card base and added some coordinating dsp which I sponged the edges.

#BalloonCelebration #occasions2016 #stampinup #flowers

Next I stamped the images onto Whisper White card stock using the Memento Black Inkpad. The stems are from the Flower Patch stamp set, as is the sentiment, but those flowers are actually from the Balloon Celebration stamp set. Yes, it is that “wheel” looking stamp that we all looked at and wondered what on earth it goes with in the theme of the balloon celebration stamps. It had me stumped for days, but I was determined to have a play and work out exactly what I could create.

#BalloonCelebration #occasions2016 #stampinup #flowers #stampinupaustralia

The flowers are coloured with the Stampin’ Write Markers, Melon Mambo and Mint Macaron. I stamped the dotty circle image onto vellum and punched it out with the 3/4″ circle punch.

I added each vellum circle with a glue dot and then added a large pearl to the centre of each flower.

Check out that gorgeous white jute ribbon behind, adding the perfect amount of texture!!!

Honeycomb Happiness

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the stunning Love Blossoms DSP and the Honeycomb Embellishments.

Love Blossoms Honeycomb Balloon #stampinup

On the white card base, I added a narrow layer of the Love Blossoms DSP. The image from the stamp set, Honeycomb Happiness is stamped in Blushing Bride ink onto Whisper White card and layered on top of some blushing bride card. A coordinating Honeycomb Embellishment was added.

I stamped the sentiment in blushing bride ink onto coordinating card stock and used a circle punch to cut it out. I added some candy dots to finish it off.

Heart of Gold

Dear Crafters,

Gold is in this year and so I have created a nice shiny gold heart of flowers!

This is a sneak peek of the Bloomin’ Love stamp set, new in the Occasions catalogue starting 5th January 2016.

Bloomin' love #stampinup

I used a Blushing Bride card base and layered some Whisper White card which was stamped with versamark ink and gold embossed using the heat tool. The bottom section is some of the Love Blossoms DSP which you would have seen in recent blog posts…. I love it!

The Blushing Bride Cotton Ribbon is beautiful and finishes this card nicely.

Check out the shine of the heart?!!!

Baby, Card in a Box Style, Handmade Cards

Baby Crib

Dear Crafters,

Baby Girl Card #stampinup

Check out this cute baby girl card in the shape of a baby crib!

I saw something similar on Pinterest but they didn’t have instructions on how to make it, so my effort was totally trial and error, but I’m sure I will make another for a boy, so I will take note of all my measurements.

Baby Girl Card #stampinup     Baby Girl Card #stampinup

I figured it was similar to the card in a box style, so I worked it from there. The ends are 2″ wide and cut with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. The Hearts Border punch was also used to cut the pink trim.

This card does lie flat and fits into the Stampin’ Up! C6 envelopes!

Baby Girl Card #stampinup

I used the Made With Love stamp set and coordinating Baby’s First Framelits Dies, using So Saffron, Pink Pirouette and Mint Macaron as my colour theme.

Don’t forget to decorate your envelope to coordinate with your card!

Artistic Awesomeness

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the Awesomely Artistic stamp set. When we received our Annual Catalogue at Convention in May, we went back to the hotel that night and spent hours browsing through this amazing catalogue. When I saw this stamp set, I knew it was going straight onto my wish list!

Anyway, enough reminiscing, check out this card!

Awesomely Artistic #stampinup

I have used Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Basic Black coordinated with the colours from the All Abloom Designer Series Paper.

Awesomely Artistic #stampinup

I also used one of the wood accents from the Expressions Natural Elements pack. I added it with the new Fine Tip Glue Pen.

The new Metal Rimmed Pearls (which are sticky backed) so very easy to use. The dragonflies are fussy cut and added with a glue dot.

Awesomely Artistic #stampinup

This card was cased from Claire Daly.

Please let me know what you think of my card.

Definitely Dahlia

Dear Crafters,

Definitely Dahlia #stampinup

Today I share a card with only one colour using the background stamp, Definitely Dahlia (pg 129 AC)!

My base is Mint Macaron card stock with a layer of Whisper White card and a strip of the 2015-2017 In Colour DSP Stack.

The image is stamped with Mint Macaron ink onto the white card. This is so quick to make and super effective. I love its simplicity and how versatile, whether it be Birthday, Sympathy, Thinking of You or even a Farewell card!

The gorgeous White Satin Robbin tied in a knot adds femininity.

Definitely Dahlia #stampinup

I added some butterflies, using the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches. The smaller butterfly was stamped first using the Papillon Potpourri stamp set.

You’ve Got This

Dear Crafters,

You've Got This #stampinup

Today I share a card I made using our Art with Heart Team Challenge!

Being stuck at home with this fractured ankle, what else am I to do, but spend my days crafting. So that is what I did!

I used the middle column as my starting point, seeing as my favourite colour is blue, I love flowers and embossing gives such an amazing texture to my cards.

I have used Pool Party and Island Indigo as my colours, along with some Whisper White.

You've Got This #stampinup

I stamped the image in Island Indigo and then used the ink and Aqua Painter to colour it. I fussy cut the image and mounted it onto two of the Lots of Labels Framelits, one embossed with the Elegant Dots TIEF.
