Card Sketch

Hi everyone, 

Here is another card sketch.  This card sketch is on page 12 in January - April Mini Catalogue ©2025 Stampin‘ Up!®. 

I started playing with this sketch and kept playing and playing.   Sketches are a really good place to start.    

The designer series paper that I have used whilst playing with these cards, is free when you spent more than $100.  

Have you used Stampin Up products before. One of the reasons that I became a demonstrator/hobbyist was because I love the colour combos.  Stampin Up provides cardstock, ribbon, stamp pad, and matching designer series paper and sometimes matching glitz to enhance the cards.  If you are a bit pedantic with colour combinations Stampin Up is your friend. They certainly have my vote.  

The current Annual Catalogue is available on this blog. 

If you live in Australia and you would like to place an order over $250-00 (before shipping) you will 

receive 10% in Stampin Up Rewards.  Or if you would like to place a smaller order please email me on leanne1982@netspace.net.au.

If you would like the current brochure, please email me on leanne1982@netspace.net.au.

Coffee With Friends

Hi everyone, 

Today’s card is another card using Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper from the current Sale-a-bration Catalogue.  When you purchase more than $100AUD, you can choose a free item.  Hey, it is always good to get something free, isn’t it.

I created this using Coffee with Friends Stamp Set which can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2024 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 93.  I also coloured it in with Blends. 

A nice cheery card.

Colour Creation week 36 Moody Mauve

Hi everyone, 

Welcome to Week 36, Moody Mauve.

Moody Mauve is a muted and dusty pinkish colour.   It is a soft colour pleasing to the eye. 

I started with Moody Mauve Cardstock and Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder.  I also used Spotlight of Nature Stamp Set and Dies.  I colour the stamp in with Moody Mauve and Olive Blends.  I added a touch of white ribbon and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I have learnt it is important to finish off the inside.  Today I stamped part of the flower from Spotlight on Nature.

#colourcreationsbloghop

Hi everyone, 

Claire Daly is the leader of a group called Art with Heart Group.  Each week there is a Colour Creations Blog Hop.  This group works through the current colours in Stampin Up.  I have chosen to join this group.

I have probably joined half way though because this week the colour is Misty Moonlight.  However the beginning of a new year is a good time to start something different. 

Recently I have been playing with card sketches that you will find in the current brochure, usually within the first few pages.  This sketch is found in the January - April Mini Catalogue ©2025 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 12. 

I created this card using Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, Spotlight on Nature Dies and Eyelet 3D Embossing folder.  I found that the extra embossing took the plainness of the white away. 

Of course, when I am playing with something new, I have to change it slightly so the next one is horizontal and stepped up a bit, with another layer.  

So I chose a different page of designer series paper which included a different colour teamed with Misty Moonlight. 

Our next talented Art With Heart is Rosa Leyden

Enjoy the Blog Hop.

Seaso of Green and Gold Suite

 Hi everyone, 

Christmas is over for another year.  

Each Christmas I have a container of cards that I make during the year.  Usually after I have posted my cards out I get inspired to make more.   I find the stress is no longer there.  I have more time and it prolongs Christmas.  You see I love Christmas.  I love giving and seeing the joy of people receiving their gifts.  I love it when the family are together. 

Seasons of Green and Gold Suite is a lovely collection.  I must admit that I love the gold included with this designer series paper.  This suite can be found at stampinuo.com.au in the Online Store. 

On page 22 in the Annual Catalogue ©2024 Stampin‘ Up!® you will find  some card templates that can give your a little inspiration.  Sometime when you have a creative block, these templates that help. This card below, is a card that came from one of the sketchers.
