Earthen Elegence Suite

Hi everyone, 

Do you find that you stick to or play with the same colours or types of suites.   This particular suite is right out of my comfort zone.   While I love the colour Pretty Peacock, any shades of brown or orange are colours that I very rarely play with.  However sometimes that makes giving cards difficult.  My daughter-in-law and her mother’s colours are these browns and oranges. So I need a arrange of card in my collections made with these colours. 

I attend a card class every month with my UpLine.   Rachel introduced me to this suite at a class.   I could see the possibilities. So I bought this suite.  I have played with it a little but not very much.  I brought it out the other day i tending to make a number of cards.  With Mum on Messenger video and I working on them. i was able to make several cards. 

This suite is called Eastern Elegant Suite. It can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2023  Stampin‘ Up!® on page 70.  However commencing 9th April  to 30th April, some these products can be purchased at a reduced price. 



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.

Fun Fold

Hi everyone, 

Do you love playing with paper or card stock and creating something different.  Sometime my mum says to me,”I like this, can you work out the measurements for me.”  Sometimes I see something that I like and I think Mum will like and make a template each for us.  Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't.  There are a lot of “sometimes” in this paragraph.  

Anyway, I tried the 2, 4, 6, 8, fun fold card from Patty Bennet. You will find her instructions on https://pattystamps.com/2023/04/video-for-a-2-4-6-8-fun-fold-card.html?ssp_iabi=1683268192848

Here are my examples.

Pokemon

 Hi everyone, 

Master E turned 6 this week. He is obsessed with Pokemon.  His mum and I have several Pokemon games on our phones.  I only learnt recently that the games use the maps on our phones.  Depending on the different locations, there are different pokemon figures to battle.  I hope this makes sense. 

Also in Melbourne, Australia, our supermarket chain, Coles, are giving away cardboard builders for the kids, depending how much you spend. Our grandkids love them. 

Well, I couldn’t make must any card, now could I choose a card from my stash.  This one was a one off card.  So I headed to Pintrest.  Bingo!!! craftwithemma.com.uk had a video for the Pokerball and i structions on how to make Pickachu.  These are found below.

Here is the crd that I came up with and the inside.  I am very proud of this card.  Master E and the rest of our family are impressed as well.



Miss J turns 6 in a couple of days.  Can I come up with something equally impressive. 🤔🤔🤔

Bird’s Eye View

 Hi everyone,

Isn’t this a cute stamp.  A little bit of stampin, a little bit of designer series paper and a little bit of colouring makes a little bit of card.  An easy card 

This stamp is called Bird’s Eye View Stamp Set.  It is found in the Annual Catalogue ©2023 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 48. I love the simplicity of the birds on these stamps.

Fun Fold

Hi everyone, 

I attend card classes with my up-line every month.  The first card I made at Rachel’s place.  Rachel talks about it on her blog, https://stampinpals.blogspot.com/2024/02/as-soon-as-stampin-up-opened-pre-order.html?fbclid=IwAR3JZB2lOG8KF-H2hgsOJYgxFIc4kJzqiTx65pOnDlmSRhOGgAOF8-DoaQE_aem_AZyU2ndp1KQvuTuVvC_UIrjPWdKi-jI4ENl0i0Vb7k3yqufF_NktO87_RBkSjwdW0gE 


Well, I came home and rang Mum on Messenger.  We just had to play with this fun fold.  Below are the cards that I made using Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper.

Trucking Along

 Hi everyone, 

This is my last one using this stamp set and punch for now.  Sometimes it is really nice to just stamp. 

This stamp set is called Trucking Along.  It can be found in the Online Store on stampinup.com.au. There is also a punch called Trucking Along Builder Punch.  Once again it can be found in the Online Store.   I used Mossy Meadows and Poppy Parade to brighten this card up.
