Watercolour Wings

Hi Crafters!

Today I'd like to share with you a fancy fold card featuring the gorgeous stamp set, Watercolour Wings.  This stamp set has unfortunately retired at the end of May, but the beauty of this card is you can change up the stamped images or sentiments to suit your occasion and this is certainly made easy with the superb selection of colour-coordinating Designer Series Paper packs. 

Now, the card we are going to make isn't for the faint hearted.. it is a bit of a mission, but with a little patience and perseverance, I promise you it is worth it!

Watercolour Wings


Card Instructions:

1.  Take an A4 piece of cardstock and cut/ score as follows:


2.  Select 4 different pieces of colour coordinating patterned paper, and 2 coordinating plain coloured pieces of cardstock.  Using the Square Framelits Dies, cut out the following:

  
3.  Select where you want each segment of patterned paper to sit on your card.  Take the middle rear strip of patterned paper (positioned on your cardbase), and place the correlating square framelit die on top - you want the size up from the folding length that juts into it.  Using washi tape, gently adhere onto your patterned paper and lift away from your base cardstock.  You should have the die sitting 1/3-1/2 way on your patterned paper, and 1/2-2/3 off the paper.  Run this through your Big Shot Cutting Machine.  What you should be left with is the "U" shape patterned paper, that fits around the folding raised section in the middle of your card.  Adhere this using tombow adhesive glue onto your base card.  Adhere your front panel of patterned paper as well. 

4.  Next take your largest plain coloured scalloped-edged square of paper and adhere your corresponding square of patterned paper on top.  Cut this in half diagonally to form 2 triangles (note you will only end up using one, the other one can be used towards a second card or scrapped).  Adhere the triangle onto the left raised rectangular portion of your based card (ie where the largest butterfly on my card is positioned), with the diagonal cut edge lined up against the scored, raised rectangular edge.


5.  Take your remaining scalloped-edged plain paper squares, and adhere the corresponding patterned or white squares on top.  The two smaller squares form your card front decoration, the larger square must be diagonally cut to form the two triangles that fit on the very right panel of your card (when laid flat).  The white (or in your case it may be plain coloured) square is for your main sentiment and this will be adhered onto the scalloped edged plain coloured card as well.  Stamp the white (or coloured) squares with your preferred sentiment/s - you can mix this up with heat embossing if you select a darker coloured cardstock.  Adhere to your card.

6.  Choose 2 stamped images that work well together - on my card, I selected the two butterflies from the Watercolour Wings stamp set.  A fellow demonstrator and friend of mine, Carolina Evans, made this card using the Magical Day stamp set and it looked really nifty too.  So play around with stamp sets to see what you would prefer.  Once stamped, cut these out using dies or by hand, and adhere onto your white squares as illustrated on my card.  And you're done :)


I hope you have enjoyed learning how to make this fancy fold card! 

Enjoy the rest of your week, till next time...

Detailed with Love

Hi Crafters,

There are many reasons people craft, but to summarise mine, it would be to enable an avenue to do what I love (relieving stress at the same time) whilst blessing those in my world.  And today's new stamp set features a really lovely sentiment "So many of my smiles begin with you."  


I posted this card on the Stampin' Up! demonstrators page and had an overwhelming positive response with many asking for a blog post outlining the steps I took to create it.  So I hope you find this helpful..

Detailed with Love


I wanted this card to "pop" whilst having the sentiment at the forefront.  When I want an intense array of colour I love the result created when using blender tools.  They're not expensive and can easily be sourced online (unfortunately Stampin' Up! doesn't supply these at present) and are basically a wooden handle with a removable small circular sponge disc on the base.  The removable sponge disc can easily be rinsed under a tap and dried, meaning you don't need to buy heaps of sponge discs as they are easily reusable.  

Card Instructions


Stamp Set:  Detailed with Love
Cardstock:  Berry Burst; Whisper White
Ink:  Berry Burst; Gorgeous Grape; Highland Heather; Basic Black
Ribbon:  Berry Burst Fine Woven Ribbon
Embellishments:  Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Punch/ Dies: Truly Tailored Punch; Oval Framelits Dies

1.  Take an A4 Berry Burst piece of cardstock and cut it to 10.5cm x 14.9cm.  Score down the centre & fold to create the base of your card.
2.  Take a large piece of Whisper White cardstock, and place a scrap piece of paper underneath.  Taking a blender tool, ink up berry burst & making circular motions on the underlaying scrap paper, work your way onto the whisper white cardstock, aiming for a triangular corner of the colour.  Build to the intensity you desire.


Note:  Yep, I'm sure you've picked up that the two ink pads on the right are different to the far left one, and you'd be correct! With the launch of the NEW 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue, Stampin' Up! have released their new style of stamp pads and a fabulous colour update, featuring 10 totally new colours and bringing back some favourites from the past!  And I have to say, the new & returning colours are utterly appealing!! 


3.  Repeat step 2, this time with Gorgeous Grape ink, and build another strip of colour, blending the berry burst edging into it.  Then do the same with Highland Heather.
  

4.  Once you are happy with your ink blended cardstock, take the Truly Tailored Punch & cut out as many as you can, trying to get a good few that contain two colours on them.  Then rearrange to your preference.


5.  Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock 9.5cm x 13.9cm.  Cut another piece 9.1cm x 13.5cm and adhere your punched out shapes onto this smaller piece of card using Tombow Adhesive Glue. Trim edges of punched cutouts if required.  Adhere this smaller patterned cardstock onto the larger white card piece.  Then adhere onto your Berry Burst card front.  

6.  Now to dress it up.. Stamp the sentiment in Basic Black onto white cardstock and die cut the shape using Oval Framelits Dies.  Take your ribbon and place in a "z" type configuration, adhering with glue dots to position it on the card front.  Then adhere your sentiment with dimensionals, placing it on top of the ribbon.  For the three flowers, you need to stamp 4x Highland Heather flowers using the small floral stamp, and 2x Gorgeous Grape larger flowers.  Fussy cut these out by hand.  Layer the flowers using a mini dimensional and top with a rhinestone basic jewel.  Lastly, add an additional 3 rhinestone basic jewels and voila! Your card is completed!     



It sounds harder than it actually is to make, so I definitely encourage you to give it a go, especially if you have never used a blending tool!

Sneak Peek - Tranquil Textures Suite

Welcome Crafters!

With only two weeks to go until our NEW Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue 2018-2019 goes public, I am delighted to give you a sneak peek at a lovely new nautical suite of products which I'm sure you'll be delighted with! 

Sneak Peek: 
Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue 2018-2019

"Tranquil Textures"


The Tranquil Textures suite features a wonderful selection of products including the Sea of Textures stamp set with corresponding Under The Sea Framelits Dies, 12 x 12" Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper, and Tranquil Textures Sprinkles.  Whilst the octopus is definitely one of the main centre pieces in the stamp set, this suite really does enable creativity to take flight. 

In each of the three cards I created using this suite of products, I wanted to showcase something unique, showing you that you can easily create an array of cards using individual items or bundle them together to create something truly spectacular! 

  Card #1 - Sea of Textures Stamp Set


For this card, I utilised only the Sea of Textures stamp set, using the various stamped images to speak for themselves.  To portray a slightly layered look, I stamped off on the coral and plant stamped images first to get different shades.

Cardstock:  Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
Classic Stampin' Pads:  Night of Navy, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow


  
Card #2 - Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper


The Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper, sized 12 x 12", features an awesome range of eclectic and textural designs, perfect for backgrounds or layering.  Some of you may recognise an old favourite ink colour that has made a return in the upcoming catalogue & this suite - Mint Macaron! And teamed with Night of Navy and Rich Razzleberry, this set really does impress! 



Card #3 - The Whole Shabang!



As the card introduction suggests, this card utilised the Tranquil Textures DSP, the Under The Sea Framelits Dies, and the Sea of Textures Stamp Set.  In hindsight I regretted not ordering the sprinkles as they would have added some lovely texture to the coral base, and I really think these would also be superb for shaker nautical themed cards using this suite too (stay tuned in the coming weeks as I may just give this a go!)  

For this card I wanted to aim it at the more advanced stamper, and have tried to bring in daubering around the plant/ coral edges to add depth and interest without detracting from the patterned background paper.  


I hope you have enjoyed these three creations, giving you a glimpse of possibilities this Tranquil Textures suite can open you up to.  If you would like to order these products, they will be available to order from the 1st June 2018 by clicking the "Shop Now" button on the top left of this page.  

If you are not a demonstrator, and would like to preorder a copy of the new catalogue when it is released on the 1st June 2018 please click HERE (please note this is only available to Australian Residents).

Thanks for stopping by today, till next time...

Always & Forever

Hi Crafters!

Today I am sharing a card created using the Stampin’ Up! Always & Forever Stamp set.  I love this set - it is great for engagements, weddings, anniversaries or as an encouragement.


For today’s card I opted for a colour palette of pink pirouette, crumb cake and whisper white.  The pink strip features the miniature hearts stamp (heat embossed in white), and the for the main heart on the tree trunk, I stamped this onto pink pirouette card stock and fussy cut this out, before daubering melon mambo around the edges to make it pop on my card.  



If you like my colour combination, please pin and share it on your favourite Pinterest board!


If you liked my card please take a moment to comment or give feedback.  It is always appreciated :)

World Autism Awareness Day Blog Hop




Hi Crafters!  

In celebration of World Autism Awareness Day, a group of crafters have joined together in a special Blog Hop to help spread awareness.  We have all created a handmade card with the focus on supporting those people with or in support of caregivers of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

With approximately 67 million people world-wide affected by autism, it is more than likely we all at some point in our lives have known someone who suffers from, or someone who supports someone with autism.  

Autism or autism spectrum disorder is classified as a lifelong developmental disorder, present from early childhood, that is characterised by difficulty in communicating and social interactions, obsessive interests and repetitive behaviours.  The range and severity of symptoms can vary significantly, however with early recognition combined with behavioural, educational and family therapies, these can assist in reducing symptoms, and support in the development and learning for those affected.     

This is the card I created:



For this card, I wanted to create something encouraging & textural yet encompassing the trademark autism awareness puzzle piece & the colour blue.  Sometimes as a stamper or crafter, you need to think outside the box, and this card definitely challenged me in this area.

The card base was made using Dapper Denim cardstock, and layered with a strip of Iridescent Glitter Paper (from the Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper Pack) and Marina Mist cardstock.  The white splattered background was heat embossed in white from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set (retired). For the puzzle pieces, I used one of my daughter's puzzles to trace two puzzle piece shapes on whisper white cardstock, fussy cut them, and then stamped the Sheet Music background stamp in Marina Mist ink onto one, and the Marbled background stamp onto the other in Dapper Denim ink.  The filigree cutout was done using Dapper Denim cardstock, and the Petals & More Thinlits Dies.  These elements were then layered using dimensionals and glue dots, before silver thread was added as a decorative feature.  






The sentiment on the scalloped vellum cutout, was white heat embossed, the word "Priceless" taken from the stamp set "You're Priceless" (the same stamp as the interior card sentiment was used, however only the word "Priceless" was inked).  Then came the creative bit!  I used a puzzle piece and heat embossed it twice using silver embossing powder, so as to not see the image shine through.  Two wooden heart embellishments were added as a finishing touch - the solid heart was glued & Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter adhered, the other I coloured using a Dapper Denim ink pad.

The card interior was kept simple with Whisper White Cardstock lined on either side with Marina Mist cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped in Dapper Denim using the same stamp as the card front, and I used a dauber dabbed in Marina Mist to gently apply over the sentiment. 


I have always held the firm belief that we are all created as unique & valued individuals - none of us are mistakes, no matter our flaws, disabilities or shortcomings.  People with autism are no different..

I hope you liked & were inspired by my card.  Please feel free to leave a comment as I would love your feedback.  There are many more fabulous creations you won't want to miss, so make sure you check out the next person in our blog hop, Sandra Mastello!

Pretty in Pink - Cake Soiree

Hi Crafters,

First of all I need to apologise for my lack of posts & creations both on here & social media since the beginning of this year.  Our family has been dealing with some major health issues over the past months & I have had to take a back step from my cardmaking for a time.. these issues are still ongoing but will try my best to create & post my creations as I am able to :)

I am still holding monthly card classes & if you reside in the western suburbs of Melbourne & keen to learn new techniques or just come along for some great conversation & company while we craft, we would love to have you join us! For class information, please click here, otherwise flick me an email at gdchilds777@gmail.com

Which brings me to today’s blog post...


Pretty in Pink: Cake Soiree!


It is no secret that this stamp set is my favourite from the 2018 Occasions Catalogue - I love the feminine floral images & the flowers & leaves that complement the main images beautifully.  It is a set which is superb for engagements, weddings, anniversaries, & birthdays and can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

For this month’s card class I wanted to create a reasonably simple card using a new technique & this is the card we will be making:


This card is fairly simply to create, so I have decided to write up the full instructions so you can make it yourself at home too!

Tools Required:

-  Pink Pirouette A4 Cardstock (116203)
-  Whisper White A4 Cardstock (106549)
-  Pear Pizzazz A4 Cardstock (131290)
-  Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Pad (126956)
-  Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Pad (144086)
-  Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Pad (131180)
-  Pearl Basic Jewel (144219)
-  White Baker’s Twine (124262)
-  Sponge Daubers (133773)
-  Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (145656)
-  Cake Soiree Stamp Set (145745)
-  Sweet Cake Framelits Dies (145617)
-  Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430)
-  Mini Glue Dots (103683)

Method:

1.  Cut your Pink Pirouette A4 Cardstock in half at 14.9cm.  Fold this cut piece in half, leaving you with your base card measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm. 
2.  Cut a whisper white card piece measuring 8.9cm x 13.5cm.  Do not adhere this to your card base just yet!
3.  Cut another piece of Pink Pirouette card measuring 8.5cm x 13.1cm.  Using your big shot machine, we are going to emboss this piece using the stemmed leafy embossing folder.  It is important here that you only emboss the left 1/2-2/3 of this card.  
4.  Using the Sweet Cake Framelit tag die, cut out this in white Cardstock using your big shot.  Cut two strips 15cm in length of the white bakers twine.  Lining this up with the 3rd stemmed embossed line on your pink card piece, and having the twine go through the tag hole at the top, adhere these two strips of twine onto your card (this can be done by using double sided tape on the underside of the card).  Once twine is adhered, attach the pink embossed card piece onto your white card piece.  Then use dimensionals on the rear of this white card to adhere onto your pink folded card base, ensuring it is centred.  I placed a glue dot on the rear top of the tag, just under the tag hole, to stop the tag sliding up & down the card.  
5.  Using melon mambo ink, stamp “For You” in the top left quarter of that cake tag.  Next take the Pear pizzazz ink, and we are going to stamp the stems (the one with the small ball type dots on the ends of the stems)  this tag twice, on the bottom right corner of the tag. Note, I used a scrap piece of paper to cover the filigree type pattern at the base of the tag while stamping this, as I didn’t want this part stamped.


6.  Next we are going to layer an embellishment of leaves and flowers on top of these stamped stems on your tag.  First, take some Pear pizzazz card stock & the leaves framelits dies & cut 2 pieces out.  Then stamp 2 Lemon Lime Twist leaves onto white card stock & cut these out using the corresponding framelits. 
7.  For the flower, ink the whole flower stamp in pink Pirouette ink.  Using a dauber, lightly dip it in the melon mambo ink & gently add this ink to the edges of your stamp, ensuring you do not dauber over the middle of your stamp. We want a two toned stamped image! I recommend you stamp these onto scrap paper first to ensure you get the desired effect you like.  Then die cut this out using your corresponding framelits die. Then cut a Pink Pirouette floral outline using the framelits dies, use your tombow or clear glue, and gently add a minute amount of glue to the centre back part of your floral outline cutout. Attach this to your two-toned stamped flower with a dimensional, and place a pearl jewel on top of this in the centre.  
8.  To assemble the floral arrangement, use glue dots to layer first your Pear pizzazz green leafy stems, then your lemon lime twist stamped leaves & finally your flower.  You want the layered stems/ leaves to poke out behind the flower.  
9.  To complete your card, tie a bow in the white bakers twine & adhere using a glue dot on the tag hole.  And voila, your card is finished :)

I hope you have enjoyed making this card & get even more pleasure passing it on to someone you care about, after all cardmaking is just as much about the giving as it is in the making! To purchase any of the items used to make today's card, you can do so by clicking here.

I will end by just reminding you that the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalogue continues on until the 31st May 2018, however the Sale-a-Bration promotion (ie one free item per $90 spend) concludes on the 31st March! So if you have your eye on one of the freebie items, do ensure you place a $90 order before the end of this month otherwise you will miss out!

Have a wonderful weekend, till next time..

Let the Good Times Roll

Hi Crafters,

Have you ever received a pop up card?  If you have, you will understand the WOW factor when you pull it from the envelope and open it!  So when Stampin' Up! released this amazing new suite featuring a pop up aspect, I jumped at the opportunity to have a crack at it.  

Let The Good Times Roll


Card Front
Card Interior
This set is unbelievable and the cards you can create with it are breath-taking, but is not for the faint hearted! I would definitely recommend you watch the following Stampin' Up! video on how to make a card using this pop up set:


Here are a few photos illustrating my initial card I made with this set:


The beauty of this set is that you don't have to use the pop up thinlits if you don't wish to, and there is a wonderful selection of stamps and dies that you can use in such a wide manner of ways.  You can do what I did on my card front, and make your own banners with string, or a sky theme with the clouds and sun images... the options are certainly there to create a range of unique designs.  

You will notice I made a blunder on my initial card (shown in the progress photos) as I didn't have the bottom of the pop up part stuck to the base section of my folded card.  I folded my back pop up piece of card (disguised by those bushes) to avoid it curling/ not laying flat.  My next card was done properly (after watching the video above) - you must line the two gaps on the sides of the die cutter with your folded card score line, so that the pop up bit actually starts further down your cardstock than the middle score line!

A tip I found made the folding of the rollercoaster tracks easier was to score on both sides of the cardstock instead of just the front, using a bone folder. 

So if you have a few hours up your sleeve, or you are itching to be creative and want a WOW result, definitely consider having a go at this card, you won't regret it!  Is it a bit fiddly? Yes, I'll be honest, it was.  But it is definitely worth it, I promise :)

Bubble Over

Hi Crafters,

Summer is in full swing here in Melbourne, Australia, and nothing beats an ice cold bottle of fizzy drink (or alcoholic beverage if that's up your alley), condensation dripping down the sides.  The suite I am going to show you today is a fun, upbeat range suitable for a variety of occasions. And the great thing is that there is a FREE matching Designer Series Paper set in the Sale-a-Bration brochure currently on offer with every $90 spend!

Here are the two cards I made using this set:

Bubble Over



This nifty suite has a photopolymer stamp set "Bubble Over" that includes bottles, various labels and sentiments, bottle lids & a range of cute little images.  It also features the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits Dies, available as a bundle saving you 10%.  

On the first card I opted to use solely the stamp set & framelits, and white embossed the bubbles for a delightful effect.  The clear, glitter epoxy shapes used on the green bottle are a new product just released in the Occasions Catalogue as well, and comes in tear drop and circle shapes - perfect if you want to create a "dripping" effect or bubbles.   


My second card, I wanted to utilise the free designer series paper that you can earn when making any $90 purchase.  I stuck with white embossed bubbles again, but mixed the background up with the DSP and fancy border frame.  Which one do you prefer?


I hope you have enjoyed these two cards..

Color Me Happy

Hi Crafters,

When I think back to my childhood, I remember sitting at the kitchen table colouring in for hours, sometimes drawing pictures, other times colouring in books.  Some people might argue that colouring in is for children only, but let me tell you.. there is something quite therapeutic about sitting down and colouring in... give it a go, you might be surprised :)

Now when I mention colouring in, what medium comes to mind? Crayons? Coloured Pencils? 

Well today I am going to introduce you to Stampin' Up! Blender Marker Pens.  They are high quality, alcohol-based marker pens that feature a tip on each end, to make colouring and blending a breeze.  You can purchase these individually, as a two piece combo (think light & dark shade) or as a set, and come in a delightful range of 12 exclusive Stampin' Up! colours, making coordinating of your craft items even easier! The set also includes a Color Lifter pen, and bronze & ivory pens, but I will explain these ones more in depth another day.


Now for those that follow my blog posts regularly, will know that I am not a huge fan of pre-stamped/ printed image card kits.  Not that these aren't good quality, but because I prefer stamping my own images and inking them up to create cool designs.  That changed recently when I purchased the absolutely gorgeous "Lots of Happy" Card Set.  That set enabled crafters to put their colouring skills to use with watercolour pencils, effortlessly and with fabulous results.  Having my first kit under my belt, I purchased the Color Me Happy Card Kit.  Now if you have purchased the Lots of Happy Card Kit and loved it, I encourage you to give this kit a go as well.  BUT be mindful, you will need to purchase or have on hand some blender marker pens as well, particularly if you wish to produce the cards illustrated on the kit packaging.  

Color Me Happy Card Kit   

The Color Me Happy Card Kit comes with everything you need to make 16 beautiful cards & I would recommend you select the bundle option that includes the coordinating stamp set "Color Me Happy" and saves you 10% off the purchase price (if purchased individually).


The kit enables you to produce four of each card illustrated above.  The contents include:

Color Me Happy Card Kit

And the coordinating stamp set is as follows:

Color Me Happy Stamp Set

Now it is completely up to you whether you want to colour these delightful images in with watercolor pencils, or any other colouring tool however the beauty of using Stampin' Up! Blender Markers is that you can effortlessly create blended shades of colour to take your images to the next level! 

Here is a quick video on how to master the basics of blending using these Blender Marker Pens:


 So, using these blender pens and the Color Me Happy Kit, these are the cards I created:
