There’s nothing like this pretty Stampin’ Up! Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper for dressing up a card in seconds. The floral pattern shown from the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Pap
It’s Two for Tuesday. Each Tuesday during the month of May, I’ll be featuring two cards either using the same stamp set, patterned paper or card layout. A lot of times while making a card, I’ll have the thought that it would look good in another color, pattern, or with a different layout. So I hope to show that by using just one aspect, you can create two slightly or totally different cards. And basically you… Continue reading

Welcome to our March Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are featuring our new Online Exclusive products! 😊 My favourite new Online Exclusive is the Hello, Irresistible Suite Collection, which is what I used to make this card. I absolutely love the dies, especially the circular one (used above), and the coordinating lines-with-circles die--they are so different! The inside of the card, with a white Stylish Shapes circle to write your sentiment on. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is absolutely gorgeous, and many of the flowers and leaves on it can also be cut out with the dies! This is always a plus, and is a great time-saver! I also used one of our Around the Bend dies to cut the stitched edge at the right side of the card. Lori Willcox and I have an upcoming class using our Around the Bend Bundle, which is FREE with the purchase of the bundle in Canada! We have an option for people outside of Canada, as well!

Create this "Congratulations" card using the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set, Hello, Irresistible paper and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder.
Welcome to Corner of Plaid and Paisley where I have been playing with the Dainty Delight Dies from Stampin' Up! to make this beautiful, soft, pastel enchanted garden card. I am hoping with the Stamping INKspirations group where the theme this month is a technique challenge. If you haven't been to my blog before - Welcome!! I love to die cut and I love layers - so this was a fun challenge for me. I had been making a bunch of easter items for a craft show I am going to be doing and had a ton of scraps left over - so I went to town with my scraps and the Dainty Delight Dies. I used the on-line Exclusive DSP - Hello Irresistible 6" x 6" paper for my background. I cut some of my stems with Soft Sea Foam and the other with Vellum paper. Then I just cut a variety of colors for my flowers - layered the stems, leaves and flowers on my DSP - cut it down to fit the frame in from the Fabulous Frames dies- adhered the frame- and then adhered it to the card base. At this moment - both the Dainty Delight Dies and the Hello Irresistible DSP are showing Currently Unavailable - however - the Dies are due to come back in stock March 13th and the DSP on April 3rd. I kept the inside simple but embellished with a few die cuts - the bee is from the Queen Bee dies. No ink was used - just paper, dies and a tiny bit of glue adhesive. Let's check out some more Die Cutting fun! If you have been following along - Lorraine is up next! If you just joined us hop in at any point - we will all have the links up on our posts.

Hello stampers, welcome to week 42 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we are featuring Real Red, a lovely rich red colour from the Brights Colour family. I am using a new bundle called Irresistible Blooms which is available as one of our new Online Exclusive products. Stampin' Up! are releasing Online Exclusive products several times during the year. These are the first selection of Online Exclusive products. They can only be found in the online store. I heat embossed the floral images in Black Embossing Powder, on either Shimmery White cardstock or Real Red card stock. I like the vibrant black contrast and the extra texture that the embossing powder gives. I coloured the Shimmery White card stock with a Water Painter and Real Red ink. The leaves are cut from Basic Black card stock. Some of the leaves have been coloured with or sparkled with a Wink of Stella pen. I pull apart some black twine into single threads and attached them behind the leaves. The background paper is a piece of vellum from the Layering Designs pack. The final touches on this card were some Basic Rhinestone Jewels. The greeting is also from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and was stamped in Memento Black ink. If you have any questions about my project or any of the Online Exclusive products please contact me, I'm always happy to chat about stamping. Shop here for Online Exclusives. Now it's time to head over to Theresa Gerrard and check out the amazing project she has to share with us. If you have any problems with the links in our blog hop, please head over to Cathy Proctor's blog as she is the host of our hop and has a complete list of tonight's participants.
