I think this might be my favorite card I've made in a LONG time! Super tickled at how this one turned out. And it was pretty easy, too! Here's how I did it, plus a fun variation you'll enjoy making as well. It's not as hard as you'd think! You can use any floral stamps and any large word stamp for this card. I used the Sale-A-Bration 2016 stamp set, Botanicals for You. First, lay a Framelit or stencil down and trace your desired shape VERY lightly with a pencil. Then, stamp your largest flower in your boldest color, randomly...

I love playing around with new products - as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I have early access to items from Stampin' Up!'s Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-Bration event (both kick off on January 5). Today I'm sharing a cute card that features a sentiment from a new stamp set, a wonderful,

Stampin' Up! has a great new masculine set in the 2016 Occasions Catalogue. Here's a sneak peek of it.

Welcome to my Stampin' Up! Blog! My name is Bruno Bertucci and I'm married to Kylie.

I have to say this has been a FUN week. I have really enjoyed the Rose Wonder bundle and I will be using it AGAIN and AGAIN in the future. This is perfect for all flower lovers as well as Spring time which is just around the corner. Today I want to remind everyone that the 2014-2016 IN Colors will be retiring in May. Last year there was a lot of disappointment because the re-inkers for the retiring colors sold out EARLY. So please, if you have not already grabbed these amazingly rich colors please make sure to head on over to the shop to pick your set up so you don't miss out. Here are the Rose Wonder Die cut cards that I made using the 5 IN COLORS. I had a lot of fun making these but even more stacking them like a house of cards. This took talent I tell ya! Some In Color items are already marked down so don't put it off if there is something you can't live without... SHOP ONLINE thank you for stopping by today and for following along with my Rose of Wonder to Die for week! Melanie

Look at how stinkin cute this card is!!!!! I am so excited about it and I hope you'll like it as much as I do!! I am just giddy about how darn cute it is, though!

Hallo creatievelingen Misschien herken je de kaart van vandaag al, want deze gaan we later in januari op de workshop Stamp a Stack ook maken. Ik heb 2 varianten gemaakt en de 1e, van Calypso Coral is degene die we bij de workshop gaan maken. In blauwtinten is hij minstens zo mooi. De achtergrond heb ik ook gemaakt met stempels die in de set zitten, want je krijgt niet alleen cijfers, maar ook leuke teksten en stempels om een achtergrond mee te maken. Gebruikte kleuren: Calypso Coral en Pear Pizzazz. Door de bloemetjes op het middenstuk een keer af te stempelen, wordt de tint een stuk zachter. Gebruikte kleuren: Marina Mist, Night of Navy en Pear Pizzazz. Met deze kleuren creëer je weer een geheel andere kaart. Leuk dat je weer langskomt Fijne dag vandaag Groetjes Jacqueline

I always need birthday cards and decided to create a couple of cards featuring the new Stampin' Up! Botanicals Builder framelits. The key to both these cards to is die cut the leaf vine from the Stampin' Up! Botanical Builders framelits set from two different coloured pieces of card stock. I chose to use Melon Mambo and Basic Black card stock and you do need to keep all the little leaves that fall out of the die (which you would normally throw away). When you interlace the two different coloured card stock together, you then glue the individual little leaves back in place to complete the card. The fern leaves and flowers were also die cut using dies from the same Botanical Builders framelit set. The sentiments are from the Wetlands stamp set which I punched out using the Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches.  I used Wild Wasabi card stock for the fern leaves on this card. One of the small Iced Rhinestones was added to the centre of the flower.   This card is for those who like a little bling. I used Silver Glimmer paper to make the fern leaves and added Rhinestones to the flower and sentiment too for a bit of sparkle. The key products used on this card have been listed below - just click on the picture and it will take you to my online store where the product can be purchased. The Botanical Gardens suite can be purchased as a bundle saving you 15% off RRP - it contains the Botanical Builder Framelits, Botanical Blooms stamp set and Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper. Papercrafting classes are available.

Ab heute haben wir für euch wieder eine neue Sketchvorlage auf unserem Challengeblog Match the Sketch. Hier ist meine Sketchidee bzw. meine Umsetzung Eine Geburtstagskarte mit dem neuen Sale a bration Stempelset Hoch hinaus. Das Flugzeug ist einfach nur schön. Es hat die perfekte Größe und ist für sehr viele Anlässe geeignet :-) Die Idee mit dem Propeller habe ich aus der Sale a brationbroschüre (Seite 17) gemopst. Ich habe die Blüte aus dem Framelitsset Formen Blütenzauber ausgestanzt, aufs Flugzeug gelegt und beides danan mit der kleinen Handstanze gelocht. Im Anschluss wurde beides mit einer kleinen Miniklammer befestigt. Der Banner ist ein Teil von der Sketchvorlage. Ich wollte ihn erst aus Pergamentpapier machen, aber das war dann doch ein bisschen zu schlicht. Gott sei Dank ist mir dann noch das Umschlagspapier ins Auge gesprungen. Den flüsterweißen Hintergrund habe ich mit der Prägestanze große Punkte gestanzt, ein bisschen besprenkelt und mit ein paar Strasssteinchen beklebt. Glitzer geht ja immer :-) Das himmelblaue Papier ist das neue Sale a brationpapier Kunstvoll kreirt. Die Wolken wurden einfach nur draufgestempelt. Der Geburtstagsgruß durfte natürlich auch nicht fehlen. Hier ist unsere Vorlage vom 106. Sketch Ich bin schon so gespannt was ihr daraus bastelt. Verwendete Stampin' Up!

Hi there I had a lovely afternoon creating with some friends today and we made a Gratitude Jar. I love the idea of being able to write a little note about things I am thank for, so that I can go back at the end of the year and re-read them. I often think it, but writing it down gives it extra meaning and it will be a nice way to reflect on a finished year. Having decided I wanted to make a Gratitude Jar, I found the perfect jars in a $2 shop last week. I have used the...

Well ..... It seems that I couldn't leave this stamp set for long after all! :o) I love it too much! It's quick and simple to use .... and you can make the most beautiful cards with it! I used the gorgeous sentiment from Happy Birthday Everyone again too. I stamped it directly onto the background and then 'Double Stamped' it to make it a nice solid colour. I used wood stamps, so you can only do this if you use the Stamp-a-ma-jig and do not move it at all between stamping. I love the colours here too .... Smoky Slate and Tangerine Tango. I was going to add a green for the stems, but decided to try with the grey first ... and it turned out ok :o) ___________ Shop With Me Online - 24/7 Join My Team Find Me On Facebook Supplies Hardwood Wood-Mount Stamp Set [133032] Wild About Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set [138728] Happy Birthday, Everyone Wood-Mount Stamp Set [139171] Card Stock A4 Smoky Slate [131291] Calypso Coral A4 Card Stock [124392] Smoky Slate Classic Stampin' Pad [131179] Calypso Coral Classic Stampin' Pad [126983] Stamp-A-Ma-Jig [101049] Liquid Multipurpose Glue [110755] Stampin' Dimensionals [104430] ___________________________________________ You Can Create It!

Winter has arrived here in PA and it seems we had all our snowfall in one day with record breaking amounts! I am not a lover of snow so I cannot wait until it all melts! I think it's going to take a while. My plan was to hunker down in my studio and stamp the weekend away while it was snowing outside BUT I was outside shoveling instead. Oh well, it was good exercise and I was able to spend the day Monday in my studio creating. Rose Wonder Stamp Set and Rose Garden Thinlits Dies This is such a beautiful stamp set - don't you agree? This set is sold separately, or as a bundle with the coordinating Rose Garden Thinlits Dies making a 15% savings! Tips for Making This Card Colors - Calypso Coral, Old Olive I first water colored on a piece of Stampin' Up!'s Watercolor Paper using an Aqua-Painter and ink. Using the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies, I cut out the rose on a piece of Shimmer cardstock. Once my water coloring was dry, I used the Fine Tip Glue and adhered the cut out rose to the top of the card front. The Happy Birthday was inked in Basic Black Ink and stamped on a piece of watercolor paper and cut out using another of the Rose Garden Dies. A bit of Gold Thread behind the words adds interest. Don't forget to make the inside of your card pretty. Here I stamped just the leaf image and then hand cut around it. Something different. My Stampin' Up!
