Suite Sayings are a must

Here’s another card that I made at the weekend – the Birthday Bouquet DSP was in our goody bags and this is probably my favourite print from that collection.

Stampin' Up! Suite Sayings and Birthday Bouquet DSP and Rose Garden Thinlits dies

This is a bit of a CASE from the Valentine’s day card that I shared on Sunday, – but if you like the design, why not reuse it? I cut the DSP about 2 inches narrower than the card base and then cut a mint macaron mat for the it. Once I’d assembled this, I started looking for the right sentiment. I really like this one from Suite Sayings, in fact of the ten cards I made over the weekend I ended up using it four times! So I have to say that I’d recommend getting this set.

I stamped the sentiment in mint macaron on whisper white and then used the Rose Garden thinlits to cut it out. I then cut another out of mint macaron and cut the ends off to give the mat at the sides and attached this with dimensionals.

I used the envelope liner framelits and the 2015-2017 in color designer series paper stack to create my insert for the envelope. There’s a nice stripe on the other side of this paper but I’ve yet to let it see the light, it only ever sees the glue!

Today I got to see the three new Sale-a-bration items that will be available from February 16th until March 31st and I know which one I want first! I can’t share pictures of them until the 16th (although I could if I bought them today, but I’m waiting to get them free!) but if I were you, I’d have a few items ready to order so that you qualify for them.

See you tomorrow,

I’m continuing the illusion that I’m totally prepared for Christmas by making a non-Christmas card. Truth be told, I still haven’t wrapped a thing and I’m WAY behind on sending Christmas cards. It’s not even as if I’m short of them. If I send some today, they’ll make it to the UK on time, right?

Stampin' Up! Pretty Petals DSP stack and Rose Garden thinlits dies

This started because my sister was playing with the rose garden dies in rose red and I liked how it looked so I cut one out too. I had been flipping through the Pretty Petals DSP stack which is full of gorgeous patterns (I’m trying not to ignore the annual catalogue) and decided that this one in old olive would be great with the cut out. Except there was too much of a gap on the bottom right hand of the card and I didn’t want to add a sentiment so I cut out a branch of leaves with another die in the Rose Garden set, trimmed it down, flipped it over after burnishing it with my bone folder and added it so that there was no need for a sentiment. I then mounted this onto a cardbase of rose red. I’d say this was easy except it is a bit fiddly, gluing the die down so it’s not a fast card. I think it’s worth it though.

See you tomorrow when I will hopefully be ready for Christmas!

Here’s a new product that will be in the upcoming Occasions catalogue which I am certain will be really popular. I went clean and simple with it today (no surprise there, right?) to produce an elegant birthday card. The product is rose garden thinlits dies – I’m looking forward to using it as a stencil too.

Gorgeous right? But in case your heart sinks at the thought of pushing out all the little pieces of card stock, let me tell you about a new tool that debuts in the new catalogue – the big shot die brush. You just roll the brush over the back of the die and the pieces are pushed out along with a lot of the wispy pieces of card onto a foam pad. I stamped the sentiment in real red on very vanilla card stock and then used the fine tip glue pen to attach the real red die cut. I then mounted this on a real red card base. I finished off the card with an envelope liner in real red inside a very vanilla envelope. I forgot to add the new brights designer paper stack to my last order so I’m still using the retired backgrounds DSP in brights.

The upcoming Occasions catalogue has a lot of birthday products in it, hence my recent spate of birthday cards. And I still have more product in my Stampin’ Up! box that I haven’t played with yet. Although I have added the new products to my online store, you won’t be able to add them to your order until January 5th.

 

See you tomorrow,
