When the Old and New Collide

It is always tricky when we are waiting for the new catalogue to be released to get the balance right between using retiring products and products that are about to be released.  But.......we are so blessed that it doesn't matter which catalogue a product has been in it can always be used with most other products!  I love the way that this card turned out!

I hope you are inspired to create today!

Happy Stamping

Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! April 2024 Sketch Blog Hop

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop for April 2024

There is nothing I love more than a good scrapbooking sketch to get my inspiration flowing, and the sketch from the Scrapbooking Global team this month is so great! I have rotated the sketch because my photo was landscape and a couple of the elements are in a different place, but that is the beauty of a sketch, you can change it as your layout evolves!

Global Design Colour Challenge #397

It has been ages since I have participated in a design challenge, and I love what the team over at Global Design Challenges prepare every month!

I have also been excited to try out the Textured Floral stamp and die bundle #161232 as I love being able to layer, layer, and layer some more!

The card base for this project is made from Crumb Cake cardstock and measures 5" square, the Basic White layer is 4.75" square and the DSP from Masterfully Made Paper Pack # 161192 measures 4-5/8" x  4". 

Then simply die cut and stamp an assortment of elements to create the collection of flowers and leaves down the side of the panel.

The sentiment was stamped from the Texutred Floral set and the die cut with the banner from Stylish Shapes #159183.

This kind of design can be used with many different stamp sets, I think I might give it a try with the Legendary Ride # 160754 stamp set for Fathers Day! 

Enjoy your stamping journey!

Irresistible Blooms

There is something fresh about a black and white colour palette with a splash of colour!   In this project it is Highland Heather! I can never seem to just make one card when I am creating it is usually 2 or more, because I have all of the supplies out that match!

To make it even easier I have used the Memories and More Card and Envelopes #159234 so I can get stuck into creating!

For the first card I used the cardbase in the portait orientation. The first layer is some DSP (Designer Series Paper) from the Delightfully Eclectic Pack # 161640 cut at 7cm x 7cm.  This is a fantastic pack of patterned paper as there are so many designs and colour combinations it is really versitile!

Other than that I have used minimal cardstock, just some Highland Heather punched out with the Decorative Circle punch # 159174 tucked under the edge.

The flowers and leaves are from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set #161140, and guess what?? You won't find this set in the catalogue! It is from the Online Exclusives that Stampin' Up! release throughout the year, you can see what is available here!

Simply stamp the flowers and leaves on some basic white cardstock #159228 with our memento ink # 132708 and use your favourite Blends colours! I have used the following in both the dark and light pens and blended together!

Flowers - Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight

Leaves - Granny Apple Green

Once you have all of these elements, simply position and layer with Stampin' Dimensionals #104430 and Stampin' Seal #152813 adhesives.

To finish off the design, add some linen thread #104199and Iridescent Pearls # 158987

 

This second card uses all the same products and techniques, but I have changed the orientation of the card to landscape.  The only difference in the measurement is the DSP which is 14cm x 6cm.

I hope you enjoy these card designs and have a go at some of these techniques yourself!

Happy Stamping

Global Design Project Challenge #237

This week at Global Design Project the challenge was to use the following colours.  However, I also have my own personal challenge and that is to use some stamps sets that ...... have never been opened before the 2020-2021 Catalogue is launched!

So I have chosen to use the Modern Heart Stamp set!

I have a confession to make, the top part of the greeting was supposed to have the you on the end, but I was trying to make it a banner with a punch and chopped half the u off, so I just made it out of our outlined alphabet stamp set.  It actually works better as it balances the design out a bit more!

I really enjoyed using these colours to make this card, thanks for stopping by

Magnolia Lane Suite

There is a stunning collection of products on pages 36-37 of the annual catalogue called the Magnolia Lane suite!  I have used some of them to create a layout of my daughter at the beach.  I have also used some of our retired products to show how easily current and past products can work so well together!

This link will take you to my Stampin' Up! Online store so you can check out these goodies for yourself!  Magnolia Lane Suite
