Floral creations with Blessings of Home

 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 some beautiful cards using the Blessings of Home stamp set.

I've created 2 very different cards for you this week. One uses blending & layered stamping, the other uses heat embossing on metallic cardstock with fussy cutting.

 

I diecut a piece of white cardstock using the Deckled Rectangles dies & blended Sweet Sorbet, Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky & Garden Green. Over that I stamped the large bouquet from Blessings of Home in Memento after placing it on another piece of Basic White. The plain white piece was adhered to a Kraft card base & the blended piece was layered over that with dimensionals. A sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Memento black on Kraft card & layered it over the blended piece. The bling is from the July to December Mini catalogue, Adhesive backed sequins & gems.


For the second card I wanted to try heat embossing on metallic cardstock. I chose Bronze from the Brushed Metallic cardstock pack.  Pear Pizzazz is the base with a strip of black in the landscape position. The Versamark didn't quite catch in a small section at the centre of the image but it is covered with the sentiment so doesn't show. Not sure if it's the surface or just dodgy stamping! 😂 I used Go To Greetings for the sentiment on Pear Pizzazz & fussy cut around it. The final step was adding some Bronze Brushed Metallic dots. I really like the use of only 3 colours & how it turned out. I hope you like it too.

That's it for another week. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you can join me again on Wednesday for my Mid Week blog. This week I have chosen some a funfold that can be used for Christmas, birthdays or any special occasion. In next Sunday's blog I will be stamping on Vellum with another floral stamp. I hope you can join me for both of those.

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

Image
 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

3D creations - gift boxes

  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

Tic Tac Toe challenge #174

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. 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
