The design team at Creation Station are presenting their projects using products from the Stampin' Up! Saleabration Catalogue and using them with products from the Mini and Annual Catalogues. In a couple of days starting from 3rd August until 30 September 2021 Saleabration starts with Stampin' Up! Every $90 AUD or $180 AUD you spend (before shipping and handling) you can choose FREE products! Now that's exciting! It's best to get in quick as I'm sure they will sell out fast!

My handmade projects that I've created today is using the Penguin Playmates 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper 158420 which includes 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 double sided designs. The colors are Balmy Blue, Basic Black, Calypso Coral, Fresh Freesia, Just Jade, Misty Moonlight and Soft Sea Foam. This is FREE when you purchase $90 of Stampin' Up! products. 

The DSP coordinates with the Penguin Place Bundle 156789 which is a stamp set 156410 and Penguin Builder Punch 156452. Buying it as a bundle with 10% off and will save you money. Plus the punch also punches out one of the penguins from the DSP.

Slimline Card

The slimline card is measured at 21cm x 20cm and fits nicely inside a standard business size envelope. I've used Fresh Freesia Cardstock for the card base and layered the panel of Penguin Playmates DSP onto the card.

I've created a soft snow look with Basic White Cardstock and sponged Coastal Cabana Ink with the Blending Brush. I've fussy cut out the snow hill and layered over the DSP. The polar bear, penguin, fox, bird and trees are all from the Penguin Playmates DSP. I've fussy cut them out with my Paper Snips.

The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight Ink and is from the Holly Jolly Wishes Stamp Set. The image fits nicely inside the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and layered over the another die-cut in DSP.

Mini Paper Pumpkin Box

Using a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box for the base of my 3D project, I've created a belly band using the Penguin Playmates DSP in Fresh Freesia and added Fresh Freesia Ribbon around the box. 

I've used a medium size Stitched Rectangle Die and die-cut out the DSP for the base. I then layered Basic White Cardstock for the ground and applied Coastal Cabana Ink with the Blending Brush.

More fussy cutting out for the penguin, polar bear, snowman, bird, tree and fox which is from the Penguin Playmates DSP. I've stamped images from the Penguin Place Stamp Set using Fresh Freesia and Misty Moonlight Ink. 

Christmas Gift Tags

The two cute gift tags was lots of fun to create using different elements with stamp sets, dies and paper.

 

The cute penguin in Just Jade outfit is from the Penguin Playmates DSP, as well as the gift tag and Circle Die. I also used the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set and coordinating Punch for the tree. 

The Snowman is fussy cut out from the Penguin Playmates DSP, Christmas tree is in Misty Moonlight Ink stamped on Basic White Cardstock and snow flakes images stamped on the Basic White circle which is die-cut for the Circle Dies. I added a couple of images from the Penguin Place Stamp Set in Calypso Coral.

Week 3 Heart of Christmas Blog Hop

 Hello and welcome

I'll be sharing with you a sneak peek of new products from the Stampin' Up! Mini August - December 2021 and Saleabration Catalogue. I'm so in love with both catalogues and there is a variety of products to suit everyone.

Tonight's Art With Heart blog hop is hosted by Sharon Davern, 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 Stampin' Up! products.

Stampin' Up! have the new August - 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 from 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. It's also a good time to stock up on your crafting supplies.

The Christmas card I've created tonight is a mixture of bundles, special papers and Saleabration. Again I've used Fresh Freesia as my main colour for the project, I just love this colour and it's a little bit different to the traditional Christmas colours.

I started with the FREE Saleabration Penguin Playmates 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (this paper is so cute) for my project and decided on the Fresh Freesia snowflake DSP as my base panel. Layered on top of Fresh Freesia Cardstock as the card base.

I wanted to try out the Snowy White 12" x 12" Velvet Sheets which is flocked velvet and die-cut/dry emboss with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder. I was going to go with white but I changed my mind and coloured it with Fresh Freesia Ink and with the Blending Brush. 

The greeting is from the Merriest Moments Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink onto Basic White Cardstock and die-cut out with the stitched die.

The cute penguin is from the Penguin Place Bundle which comes with the Penguin Builder Punch. The punch also coordinates with the FREE Penguin Playmates 12 x 12 DSP which makes creating cards so much easier. 

I've stamped the penguin in Memento Black Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, for the beak Fresh Freesia Ink and for the flippers Fresh Freesia Cardstock. There are lots of other images from the stamp set, I've stamped the gift packages in Fresh Freesia and fussy cut them out.

To finish off the card I've used the mirrored Silver Foil 12" x 12" and Basic White Cardstock for the snowflakes from the So Many Snow Flakes Dies. I added a little of Clear Wink of Stella to the card, but just a word of warning the glitter doesn't dry on the Snowy Velvet Sheets straight away!

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.
