STAMPIN' UP! DANDY LASER CUT "HELLO" CARD

 Every catalogue release in recent years, I've bought the specialty laser cut papers on offer, and have failed to use more than a couple of small pieces (you know, that "too pretty to use" problem?!).  I was pleased to see the Dandy Laser Cut Paper released in a smaller format, and therefore more useable quantities for me!

Today's card is a very simple design, but I'm pleased with how it has turned out.  I have used Calypso Coral, Basic White and Sahara Sand.

The laser cut paper panel has been adhered to a piece of Whale Of A Time Designer Series Paper.  I embossed a piece of Sahara Sand card using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder, matted it on a slightly larger Calypso Coral piece, and adhered these layers to a Sahara Sand card base.

In this photo, you can see the beautiful design on the Calypso Coral paper, and the lovely embossed background.  I've scattered a few (retired) Iridescent Seqins on the card - don't they look pretty with this paper?

The sentiment, from the Borders Abound stamp set, is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card.  I cut it out using an Ornate Frames Die, added a tiny sequin, and placed a Braided Linen Trim bow just above.

Listed below are the current Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

AWHT COLOUR CREATIONS SHOWCASE - WEEK 23: MAGENTA MADNESS

 

This week's Stampin' Up! colour, featuring on creations of a group of us from the Art With Heart Team in Australia, is Magenta Madness.  This bright pink is one of the five In Colors that form part of our colour range from 2020 to 2022.

As with every Wednesday's Colour Creations Showcase, Cathy Proctor is co-ordinating our share.  She has a comprehensive list on her blog of all the participants in this week's Showcase.  We would love for you to visit each of our blogs, and to leave some comment love, if you feel inspired.

To show off this very bold pink, I decided to use a lot of white on my card.  I have used the lovely Borders Abound stamp set.  To start with, I used my Stamparatus, and the hinge-step stamping technique, to stamp two of the borders repeatedly across a piece of Whisper White card.  The flower border was stamped in Magenta Madness ink, and the leaf/vine border in Granny Apple Green ink.  I then used Stampin' Blends markers in those same colours to colour the images.  After I'd coloured this piece, I cut it out using an Ornate Layers die.  I mounted it on another Whisper White panel, that had been cut with a larger Ornate Layers die, and embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder.

The sentiment, also from Borders Abound, was stamped on a piece of Magenta Madness card, using Versamark ink.  I then heat-embossed it, with white embossing powder, and cropped it with a Stitched Rectangle die.  In this photo, you can see the Magenta Madness Enamel Dots added to the sentiment panel, and some flower centres:

In this photo, you can clearly see the Subtle embossing of the larger Whisper White panel in the background:

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  They are available to purchase from my online store, which is open 24/7 to Australian residents.

AWHT COLOUR CREATIONS SHOWCASE - WEEK 22: JUST JADE

 

This week I am joining with some of my Stampin' Up! friends, in showcasing Just Jade, one of our beautiful In Colors that will be in Stampin' Up!'s range until 2022.  Cathy Proctor co-ordinates our weekly shares, and has a comprehensive list on her blog of everyone participating.   We hope you will hop around all our blogs, to see how we have used this lovely colour on our papercraft projects.

Just Jade, along with the other four In Colors introduced this year, features in the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper pack. I have chosen a happy floral paper as my main focus.  As well as using a panel in the background (teamed with In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, that is on special until the end of October), I cut a stitched scalloped rectangle of the patterned paper, using the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  I matted this piece on a slightly larger Whisper White die-cut scalloped rectangle, and mounted my stamped sentiment on the flowery panel.

I stamped "hello", from the Borders Abound stamp set, on a scrap of Whisper White card, then die-cut it using a sweet Ornate Frames die.

Using the Medium Daisy punch, I punched out two flowers from Whisper White card.  I have stamped, in Bumblebee ink, the flower centre from To A Wild Rose.  After stamping it, I decided it looked a little star, so I lightly applied some Bumblebee ink using a sponge dauber.  After gluing the two flower layers together,  I adhered a Playing With Patterns Resin Dot to the top flower centre.  Stampin' Dimensionals raise the daisies up from the frame a little.

Listed below are all the products I used to make my card.  They are available to purchase from my online store, which is open to Australian shoppers 24/7.  If you would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
