Sunflower Fields Thank You


Thanks for all your messages and emails of support about my Dad. He's been in hospital for over 2 weeks now. He needs surgery but is currently not a good candidate due to other health issues, so it’s difficult to know where to go from here. He’s been in a lot of pain, which is so hard to see. 

I'm still going to try and keep regular blog posts happening. Thankfully I have a bunch of cards that I made at my recent Stamp Camp. 

This week I'll share some simple cards that I made using the Sunflower Fields Suite, along with the Scalloped Blooms Bundle. You can see everything I used listed below.

Poetic Petals Card Set

This week I've shared some cards that I made using the Poetic Petals Bundle, from the September Online Exclusives (Download the brochure HERE). This bundle lends itself to simple card designs, so it's right up my alley. I've paired it with the Hearth & Home Designer Series Paper, for a pop of colour.

I had fun making these!

Just Saying Hi

 

This week I'm sharing some cards that I made using the Poetic Petals Bundle, from the September Online Exclusives (Download the brochure HERE). This bundle lends itself to simple card designs, so it's right up my alley. I've paired it with the Hearth & Home Designer Series Paper, for a pop of colour.

You'll have to excuse my brief posts this week. I'm typing this from Nepean Hospital, where my Dad has been for the last 2 weeks. He's having a tough time of it at the moment :(

Washi Tape Card Set


Here are my set of Washi Tape Shoebox Cards that we made at Stamp Camp last weekend. At my Craft Retreat I have 10 volunteers each make a card-in-a-box, where all the ingredients for making a card are included in each box, including pre-cut cardstock. It's great to be able to sit down and make 10 cards without having to think/plan/design. 

For these cards, I used Extraordinary Flora, Greenery Lane, and Summer Happiness Washi Tape as the focal image. To create these cards, simply apply your choice of Washi Tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock. Then, cut an Arch shape using the Everyday Arches dies. Emboss a pattern with your desired embossing folder. Wrap with Linen Thread and tie in a bow. Layer onto a vellum arch shape with dimensionals. Stamp your desired sentiment onto Basic White circle using Gray Granite ink (mine are from Scalloped Blooms). Layer onto  cardstock, and then onto A5 Basic White card base. Embellish with 3 Antique Pearls. Et voilà!!

Have a great day!

NEW Hot Foil Products








Have you seen the new prducts that have been added to Stampin' Up!'s new Hot Foil Line? There's new foil colours, new Christmas dies, and much more. 

Check out the video to see the system in action:

Here are a few answers to questions you might have (Download the full pdf Q&A HERE) 

What is hot foiling? Hot foiling is a technique that uses heat and pressure to transfer metallic or coloured foil onto paper, cardstock, and more. The result is a shiny, professional-looking finish, similar to what you see on luxury stationery or packaging. You can experiment foiling on different materials to see what shines. 

What tools do I need for hot foiling? You’ll need: Stampin’ Hot Foil System; Specially-made hot foil dies (IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling, and you cannot die cut using foiling dies); Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls; Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (NOTE: the platform will not fit in the old Big Shot Machine)

What kind of foil should I use? Use Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, which are specifically made for the Stampin’ Hot Foil System. 

What materials can be hot foiled? Hot foiling works best on: Two-Tone Cardstock; Smooth cardstock (Basic White cardstock works great!; Stampin’ Up! vellum; Designer Series Paper; Window Sheets; Pearlized Specialty Paper. Always test small samples first. Porous or textured papers can yield inconsistent results. 

How does hot foiling differ from heat embossing? While both techniques are high on “wow” factor, the hot foil finish is smoother and shinier, where heat embossing is slightly raised.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Summer Happiness


Here is another version of my Washi Tape Shoebox Card that we made at Stamp Camp last weekend. At my Craft Retreat I have 10 volunteers each make a card-in-a-box, where all the ingredients for making a card are included in each box, including pre-cut cardstock. It's great to be able to sit down and make 10 cards without having to think/plan/design. 

For this one, I used Summer Happiness Washi Tape as the focal image. To create this card, simply apply your choice of Washi Tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock. Then, cut an Arch shape using the Everyday Arches dies. Emboss a pattern with your desired embossing folder. Wrap with Linen Thread and tie in a bow. Layer onto a vellum arch shape with dimensionals. Stamp your desired sentiment onto Basic White circle using Gray Granite ink (mine is from Scalloped Blooms). Layer onto Lemon Lolly cardstock, and then onto A5 Basic White card base. Embellish with 3 Antique Pearls. Et voilà!!

I'll be back with more soon. Thanks for stopping by!
