Creation Station Blog Hop - Specialty Paper

Hello and welcome, if you have come from the talented Denita Wright-Smee who is also from Australia or you may of started with me. Please make sure you hope around and see everyone's projects. I'll pop a link at the end of my blog....

The design team at Creation Station are presenting their projects with the theme "Specialty Paper" I've used the new Ever Eden 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper and Cork 12" x 12" Specialty Paper for my creations.

The Ever Eden Specialty DSP is part of the Eden's Garden Collection which is an exclusive early release which consists of Eden's Garden Bundle 10% off (Eden's Garden Stamp Set and Eden Dies) which is part of the Stampin' Up! Mini Jan - June 2022 Catalogue. The stunning Ever Eden 12 x 12 DSP, Ever Eden 12 x 12 Cotton Paper and Garden Gems are only available while supplies last. I was so excited when I received my order and just how stunning the Specialty Paper is. I just had to buy two! I love the different tones of Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and the addition of Gold Foil through out the paper.

I've also used the Cork 12" x 12" Specialty Paper which is from the Stampin' Up! Mini July - December 2021 Catalogue. I love it's nature inspired look and it also has gold flecks throughout. You receive 2 sheets and it's perfect for adding layers, scrapbooking, card making, die-cutting and more!

3D Christmas Wreath Treat Box

When I started creating my projects it was the Scalloped Kraft Treat Box that was my inspiration to begin with. Using both of the Specialty Papers they balanced well against the Kraft Box with the gold polka dots and the stunning Gold Shimmer Ribbon.

I've cut the Ever Eden DSP to cover the top of the box and wrapped the Gold Shimmer Ribbon around the box. The next layers are Tailor Made Dies, I've added Stampin' Dimensionals under the DSP, so the ribbon can be removed.

Next I've used the wreath die which is from the Seasonal Swirl Dies in the Cork and Ever Eden DSP layered over the tags. I added a few of the Cherry Cobbler round Garden Gems to the wreath for a little sparkle.

The greeting fits perfect using the Eden Dies. The sentiment is from Sparkle of the Season Stamp Set and is heat embossed using Versmark Ink, Gold Stampin' Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. This was the only stamping I did when creating my projects.

Christmas Wreath Card

Starting off with Evening Evergreen Cardstock for the card base, layered with a panel of the Ever Eden 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper and I added a circle die-cut from the Layering Circle Dies as my base for the wreath.

I just love a Christmas wreath and the small leaf die from the Eden Dies is perfect! Using the Ombre sheet side from the Ever Eden 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper and with lots of die-cutting, you'll be able to make a wreath too. I also added a few of the Cork 12" x 12" Specialty Paper to add some contrast. To finish off the wreath I added Soft Succulent marquise Garden Gems.

Next I used the label die from Eden Dies in Cork Specialty Paper and for the greeting I used the Playful Alphabet Dies using the Ever Eden Specialty Paper. To give the letters some height I've used Foam Adhesive Sheets.

Christmas Gift Tag

A last minute addition to the trio of my creations. As I had a few pieces left over I wanted to create a Christmas Gift Tag using both of the Specialty Papers and Tailor Made Tags Dies.

The addition of the trio of Christmas trees which are from the Christmas Trees Dies they are so cute! The greeting is using the Ombre sheet from the Ever Eden Specialty DSP, Playful Alphabet Dies and Foam Adhesive Sheets.

The Christmas tag is finished off using the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon and White Baker's Twine.

The best thing about this stunning paper from Eden's Garden Collection is you can use it for any occasion and with the festive season coming up soon it's perfect for paper crafting. All of the above products are available in my online store.

The colour for tonight is Calypso Coral which is part of the Subtles Collection and comes in a number of different mediums such as Ink, Cardstock, DSP etc....I've used Calypso Coral with Basic White, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Smoky Slate for my handmade card.

The card I've created is a shabby chic card which is very similar to my Balmy Blue card with the bear which I created awhile ago for Colour Creations. I've used the kangaroo this time in Smoky Slate watercolour from the Count on Me Stamp Set which is in the Annual Stampin' Catalogue.

The You're a Peach Designer Series Paper has beautiful floral designs as well as watercolour stripes in Calypso Coral. I've layered it over the embossed panel of Basic White Cardstock using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

Adding to the card is a couple of stitched tags from the Tailor Made Tags Dies, die-cut out in You're a Peach DSP, Basic White Cardstock with a little sponging using the Blending Brush in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow. I've added Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace and White Baker's Twine to the tag.

Heart of Christmas Blog Hop

Hello and welcome,

I'm so happy my Stampin' Up! box of Christmas goodies arrived at my door step and now I can share with you one of the bundles for our second week of Heart of Christmas blog hop. This week is hosted by the lovely Tina Gillespie from the Art With Heart Team.

Stampin' Up! have the new July - December 2021 Stampin' Up Mini Catalogue which is coming out very soon for our customers. As demonstrators we are lucky receive the catalogue and also pre-purchase products from the Mini Catalogue and there's more exciting news! Stampin' Up! have Sale-A-Bration for 3 August - 30 September 2021 or unless sold out earlier. Choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration product with every $90 AUD or $180 AUD you spend (before shipping and handling). I always love free Stampin' Up! products.

I decided to go with non-traditional colours and paper for my handmade Christmas card. I've used the new Frosted Gingerbread bundle which comes with coordinating Gingerbread Dies. This bundle also comes in the Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite there are so many beautiful products in this Suite and I can't wait to play with more of it.

I've created an emboss resist technique by stamping the Christmas bauble image a number of times in Versamark Ink onto Basic White panel, adding White Stampin' Emboss Powder remove excess and heat with the Heat Tool. Then with the Blending Brush and Fresh Freesia Ink apply lightly to the embossed Christmas baubles.

Using a strip of Fresh Freesia Designer Series Paper I wanted to try the scrunching, folding, pleating technique which I discovered from Lou Kitzelman on her Instagram for her non-traditional Christmas card. I like how it gives you more dimension to the card and I always love to add more layers.

I added a strip of Fresh Freesia gingham paper which is from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper which is currently on sale until 2nd August 2021 with 15% discount. There are a total of 9 Designer Series Paper on sale, more details below and on my online store.

The Christmas die-cut images from the Gingerbread Dies are cut out using Basic White and Fresh Freesia Cardstock. I love the white swirls against Fresh Freesia. I've wrapped around White Baker's Twine and added a bow to the card. To finish off the greeting fits nicely inside the white image of the Christmas bauble.

I hope I've inspired you to start creating your own Christmas projects using paper craft. Stampin' Up! have so many beautiful products and I just love how it all coordinates.

Well that's it for me and I'm so excited to see everyone's Christmas projects so make sure you hope around the blog hop. Next up is Tina Gillespie just click on the next button below.

Colour Creations Blog Hop Blushing Bride

Hello and welcome

Tonight I'll be sharing with you Week 6 of Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team in Australia.

The colour for tonight is Blushing Bride which is part of the Subtles Collection and comes in a number of different mediums such as Ink, Cardstock, DSP etc....I've used Blushing Bride with Early Espresso and Balmy Blue for my handmade card.

I've created a vintage/shabby chic style card to show off Blushing Bride by using Ink, Cardstock, Designer Series Paper and Ink Blending Technique. I love to use layers and textures when it comes to this style of card.

I was inspired by a couple of paper crafters which I follow on Instagram and I really like how they used the three flower watercolour images and coordinating dies from the Artistically Inked Bundle. Emma from @Coastalcrafter recently used the flower crunching technique, adding layers and giving depth to her card. Sandra from @sandra_helbel_dieburg creates amazing cards and she too used this technique.

Another amazing crafter is Tammy from @Stampspaperscissors an Artisan for Stampin' Up! used the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper with the Artistically Bundle. I love this wood look with this bundle. I've embossed the DSP using a new Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder from the Mini July - August 2021 Stampin' Up! Catalogue. When it comes to vintage cards I like to rough up the edges of the paper with my paper snips.

The beautiful floral Brushing Bride paper is from the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper. This DSP as well as In Good Taste DSP is on sale from 1st July until 2nd August 2021 with 15% discount. There are a total of 9 Designer Series Paper on sale, more details below and on my online store.

For the leaves and butterfly I've used Basic White Cardstock, inked up the Cardstock using Blushing Bride and Balmy Blue Ink with the Blending Brush. Then using the leaf die from Artistic Dies and the butterfly from the Brilliant Wings Dies to die-cut them out.

I've added White Baker's Twine and the greeting stamped in Balmy Blue on a strip of Basic White Cardstock.

Colour Creations Blog Hop Basic Gray Week 3 Art With Heart Team Australia

Hello and welcome

Tonight I'll be sharing with you Week 3 of Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team in Australia.

Each week there will be a Colour Creations blog hop showcasing Stampin' Up! Colors with a selection of members from the Art With Heart Team who will be joining in. I'm looking forward to seeing their beautiful projects using the Stampin' Up! Colors. You'll be able to hop around by clicking on the next link at the end of my blog.

The colour for tonight is Basic Gray which is part of the Neutrals Collection and comes in a number of different mediums such as Ink, Cardstock, DSP etc.... I've used Basic Gray with Blushing Bride and Basic White for my handmade card.

I just couldn't resist in using the koala stamp from the Count On Me Stamp Set, I used the fine Water Painter and Water Color Paper using Basic Gray and Blushing Bride Ink. This was the base for my card and I went through my stash of DSP to use up scraps in the same shades of colours.

I love to create lots of layers with the different types of papers/DSP here I've used strips of In Good Taste and Handed Penned 12" x 12" DSP plus Basic White Cardstock for the dies. It's a good way to use up those unwanted strips for your paper craft.

The Forever Flourishing Dies was used adding Ink with the Blending Brush using Basic Gray and Blushing Bride Ink to the images.

I've layered two of the tags from the Tailor Made Tags Dies. The largest using the Basic Gray sheet from In Good Taste DSP and a smaller one in Basic White Cardstock, adding Basic Gray Ink and embossed it using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I've added pink and white Snail Mail Baker's Twine to the tags.

The two koalas look so cute sitting behind the pink sponged leaf die and I've adhered to the tag using Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Biggest Whish Stamp Set and heat set with Versmark Ink, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and Heat Tool. The card base and panel is in Basic Gray Cardstock.

Now it's time to hop along and visit the lovely Andrea Sargent to see her project please click on the link below.

Colour Creations Blog Hop Balmy Blue Week 2 Art With Heart Team Australia

Hello and welcome

Tonight I'll be sharing with you Week 2 of Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team in Australia.

The colour for tonight is Balmy Blue which is part of the Subtles Collection and comes in a number of different mediums such as Ink, Cardstock, Stampin' Blends, DSP etc.... I've used Balmy Blue with Crumb Cake and Real Red for my handmade card.

I just couldn't resist using the Count on Me Stamp Set again, last week I used it for Week 1 for the In Colors Blog Hop. Today's card is a vintage feel with lots of layers which I love to create these types of cards.

The cute bear is a watercolour using Crumb Cake Ink and fussy cut out. I've layered him onto the Basic White Tailor Made Tag and added Balmy Blue Ink with the Blending Brush.

The You're a Peach Designer Series Paper is so beautiful, my favourite is the Balmy Blue striped side onto Basic White DSP. I actually torn the side of the DSP and used some of the other side and placed it under the tag.

The other panel is Basic White Cardstock adding Balmy Blue Ink with the Blending Brush and embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I also ruffed up the edges with the Paper Snips.

The sentiment is from the Create With Friends Stamp Set, I love all of the words and the font in this set. You can create so many different greetings for your paper craft. I've used Real red and Balmy Blue. The Forever fits nicely in the smaller tag. The tiny Real Red hearts are from the Floral Heart Dies. How cute is the one on the bears backside?
