Introducing the 'Limited Edition' stamp set!

 Hello & welcome to my blog!

I am an independant Stampin' Up® demonstrator & get immense joy from creating for myself, my friends & customers. Thanks for stopping by. I'm so glad you could visit my blog & I hope you find something to inspire you from my creations this week. 

The stamp set I am featuring this week is called Limited Edition. It's a stamp set with a difference. Stampin' Up® have an amazing range of stamp sets which are all copyrighted to the company. Whenever their stamps are used to create a saleable item they require that the card features a ©Stampin' Up. They have created a whole set of stamps with this in mind but the stamp set is so much more than adding a copyright symbol to our creations. Here's some other ways of using this unique little stamp set.


With sentiments including 'A Paper Hug From Me', 'Just For You' & 'Made With Love' my thoughts immediately turned to gift giving! With that idea in my head I used items on hand such as the retired Mini Pizza boxes & a plain white lolly/party favour bag to create some gift giving items.


These notelets took very little time to make. I simply cut 6 pieces of Basic White cardstock 6" x 3" & folded in half for the card base. I then chose the stunning Pretty Prints DSP in Bermuda Bay, cut to 5 7/8 x 5 7/8 & adhered it to the card front. I stamped Just For You & A Paper Hug From Me in Bermuda Bay on Basic White then die cut them with the crimped Layering Circles dies. Before adding them to the card front I cut up some foliage from the retired Forever Gold Specialty laser cut papers & reversed them so the white was showing. They were then added to the card front along with a couple of tiny pearls. I repeated the design with the top of the mini pizza box but cut it to suit the size of the box & added a larger pearl as well. All of the cards along with matching envelopes will fit inside the box & make a lovely gift. 


The second project with this set was to jazz up a plain white gift bag. I chose two of the new 2022-2024 In Colours - Tahitian Tide & Starry Sky as they are so bright & gorgeous. The image is from the new Colour & Contour stamp set & is stamped in Tahitian Tide with some Starry Sky daubed directly onto the stamp with the sponge daubers then die cut with the co-ordinating Scalloped Contour dies. The matting was also die cut with the Scalloped Contour dies. I raised the image with some dimensionals which allowed me to tie some Starry Sky Metallic woven ribbon around the stem along with a gift tag punched with the Decorative Label punch. So simple but it sure does add some WOW to a plain old white bag. I will be making a card to go with this bag as well.

There are so many more ways that you can use the Limited Edition stamp set but I'll share more of them with you in later blogs. They will certainly come in handy during the holiday season! 

For now, that's all I have for you but on Wednesday I'll be sharing a Card Sketch & next week I'll be showcasing the beautiful Honeybee Home stamp set, Honeybee Blooms dies & Hive embossing folder. I hope you can join me for both of those.

Thanks so much for stopping by. If you would like to purchase any of the products I used in this blog or other products, I've put some links below that will take you directly to my online shop. 

I also sell many of my cards on my FaceBook page at Crafted by Alison if you would like to purchase any of them.

If you would like me to send you a catalogue then please message me via my FaceBook page, Crafted by Alison or send me an email at craftedbyalison@gmail.com.

Til next time, take care & keep creating. XX Alison

Mid week blog #99 - Square tri-fold fun fold

Image
  Hello & welcome to my blog, My name is Alison & I am an independent Stampin' Up® demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia.  I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. I blog twice a week, once on a Sunday where I mainly showcase a stamp set or dies & sometimes special DSP. My second blog is mid week on a Wednesday where I look at techniques, colour challenges, card sketches, fun folds, tools & equipment & ways to make or improve your projects. That's what this blog is about. In this week's blog I'm sharing a fun fold I saw that looks really cool, allows you to use up DSP (if you're a bit of a hoarder like me or just have a little more than your should!) plus it's a lot easier to create than you'd first think. I took lots of pics to show you just how easy it is to create this style of fun fold. I hope you enjoy this post as I walk you through how I cre

New creations with He's All That

 Hello, welcome to my blog, My name is Alison & I am an independent Stampin' Up® demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia. I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. If this is your first time here, thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoy what I have to share with you. If you're a returning visitor, thank you so much for supporting me! 😍 This week's cards are created using the He's All That stamp set & the co-ordinating dies, All That. I am trying to be good & use up old stock so I've included some DSP & diecuts when creating. I hope you enjoy them. These 2 will go into my stash for upcoming birthdays. Male cards are always a premium aren't they? Here's how I made them. For the blue card I started with a Blueberry Bushel card base & added 2 mattes, one Night of Navy & one DSP from Rings of Love. I decided to offset them a little for a slightly differ

Calendars & Christmas cards

 Welcome back everyone, I hope you've all had a lovely week. Melbourne is slowly getting back to 'normal' with families reconnecting, friends catching up and socialising back on track. Just in time too, with Christmas only 32 days away!! I hope you've been able to get started on your present shopping or maybe even finished? I've managed to cross a few more presents off my list thanks to the wonders of on-line shopping. I've also been making some more Christmas cards to add to my selling collection & had a lovely play with designs of mini calendars for an order from a colleague. Here's some pics of the calendars that I've made..... I'm very happy with how pretty the calendars turned out & hope my friend loves them too.  Now for some of the Christmas cards. I really loved the cards I've previously shown you using the Tag Buffet, Ornamental Envelope  & Christmas Gleaming stamp sets & wanted to have a play around with some different d

Tic Tac Toe challenge #174

Hello & welcome to my blog, My name is Alison & I am an independent Stampin' Up® demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia. I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. Today's blog is all about making a card using a Tic Tac Toe themed challenge. Using the grid below I looked back over my creations & found a very special card I had made for a workmate to give to his niece. I would normally make a new card but this week has been rather challenging with my Mum being hospitalised. We weren't sure whether she'd make it but with lots of fluids & exceptional care from the staff at her nursing home she looks to be on the mend. I hope you understand & I hope you like what I've got to show you! This is the current Tic Tac Toe challenge, No. 74, that the card is based on. The principle of the challenge is there are 3 columns & 3 rows with a different focus in each squar

3D creations - gift boxes

Image
  Hello & welcome to my blog, My name is Alison & I am an independent Stampin' Up® demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia.  I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. I blog twice a week, once on a Sunday where I mainly showcase a stamp set or dies, embossing folders, projects & sometimes special DSP.  This week I have a 3D creation for you. Gift bags are wonderful for enclosing presents but sometimes you need a box to hold your items. This week I show you how to create 2 different sized boxes using the same method but different measurements. Both are very easy to make & once you start creating them you will find that a measurement tweak is all you need to make lots of different sized boxes to suit your needs.  This box will hold 4 or 5 cards depending on the size of the card. If there are lots of dimensionals then you would fit less. I they are simple cards of one layer then yo
