Stampin' Up! Queen Bee Birthday Card using Elegant Border Dies

March 29, 2023

Today I have a handmade birthday card for you using the Stampin' Up! Queen Bee bundle from the 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue, and the Elegant Border dies (released March 2023 as part of the Online Exclusives drop). This bundle really took my eye when I first glanced at the catalogue. I love it's vintage vibe.

My first sample uses Petal Pink as the base and some die cuts and some Fancy Flora DSP as the second layer. The bee is stamped in Soft Suede and immediately over-stamped with Versamark and clear embossed. This gives a deeply coloured, shiny image.

The floral die cuts fit really nicely around the largest stitched circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. I love that stitched label which comes in the dies from the bundle too. I popped a couple of Champagne Rhinestones on either end. The little flower is die cut from Distressed Gold Specialty Paper with a pearl in the middle.

For my second sample, I have used Crumb Cake as the base, and I have randomly stamped on the base card in Crumb cake ink. I used one of the die cut Elegant Border Dies (in the Online Exclusives section of the online store or order direct through me - see below) for the Evening Evergreen piece, and a scrap of Fancy Flora that was laying on my desk for the DSP piece. I think this particular Elegant Border piece is really well suited to vintage cards. I also die cut some of the smaller bees and leaves with the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper.

For the Queen Bee, I embossed her in gold, and popped her on top of some linen thread.

Here's a closer look at the Queen Bee Bundle. This bundle is in the 2023 January to April Mini. We don't know if it's carrying over yet. but we will know tomorrow. It's Item 160485 and is $87.25 for the 10% off bundle. You can buy the stamp set or dies individually if you prefer.

Here's a look at the Elegant Border Dies. They are item 161593 and are $56. These ones are part of the new Online Exclusives. They aren't in catalogues, but you can check them out in the online exclusives section in the online store. You can order them either online, or by contacting me directly by phone (0412 120 498) or email (cdaly@bigpond.net.au).

I hope you have liked todays cards. Don't forget to pop back in the morning to view the retiring colours and retiring products lists and to see what the new colours are!

See you then,

Claire

Two Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Cards

March 16, 2023

Today I have 2 more cards to show you from the Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms bundle from the recent Online Exclusives product release of 20 brand new products. These products are all part of the Hello Irresistible suite of products. Theses cards are both pretty quick and simple as my wrist is still in a brace so I am a bit limited in the cardmaking department for a few more weeks.

For this first one I have used Crumb Cake as the base and for embellishing. I really like how it coordinates with the greens in the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. I've used the part of one of the dies cuts under the sentiment label for a bit of interest. The sentiment label for this one is made using to layers of the Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Dies from the January to April Mini Catalogue.

Here's a closer look at the Something Fancy dies. They can either be purchased by themselves or in a bundle together with a great sentiment set. There are lots of great layering options with these dies and they fit many sentiments - not just the ones that are in the coordinating stamp set. I will do another blog post soon showing lots of layering options.

This second Irresistible Blooms card is very simple. I loved this piece of paper from the DSP so much that it kind of spoke for itself. The card base is Petal Pink, and then in addition to the DSP I just added some white seam binding ribbon, the sentiment and a couple of the Loose Frosted Embellishments from the Stampin' Up! Hello Irresistible suite (these are easy to stick on with glue dots). I really like the font on in this stamp set too - it's nice and big and bold, yet has a fun casual look at the same time!

Here's another look at the Irresistible Blooms stamp set, and Hello Irresistible bundle. You can find links to these products in my online store, at the end of this blog post.

Free 12 sheet Regency Park Paper Pack with Stampin' Up! Petal Park Punch Bundle Purchase

March 15, 2023

Hello friends. I have a great offer for you for the rest of March. When you purchase the Stampin' Up! Petal Party stamp set and coordinating Petal Builder Punch from me ($67.50 plus postage for the bundle), you will receive a free coordinating pack of 12 sheets of the gorgeous coordinating Regency Park DSP (6x6", 12 double sided sheets). The punch even punches out some of the images in the DSP. The paper has lots of gorgeous colours with coordinating spots, stripes and floral designs. You don't need to do anything fancy to claim your paper. Just order the bundle from me by the end of March and I will send the paper at the end of the month. Those people who have already ordered the bundle from me this month will also be getting the free paper.

Purchase the Petal Park Punch Bundle in my online store for $67.50 or order directly with me by phone (0412 120 498) or email (cdaly@bigpond.net.au).

The Petal Park bundle has been super popular because of it's lower price point compared to die bundles, the versatility of the punch and the way the punched images and the stamped leaves work together to create a dimensional image.

You can use the punch to punch out two different types of stamped flowers, and the punch also can cut out cardstock floral layers, which when put together make a cute dimensional floral image (or use them separately as embellishments).

Here's a card I made recently using this Stampin Up Petal Park bundle and the new Radiating Stitches Dies (which aren't in a catalogue but can be found in the new online exclusives section in the website, and either purchased online or directly through me).

In this instance I have used the stamped flowers in Melon Mambo and cut them out with the punch. I have then popped them up with Dimensionals, and added an Iridescent Rhinestone Embellishment to the centre of each flower. The background leaves are stamped with Granny Apple Green, and the sentiment is embossed in white embossing powder onto a label cut out from the Radiating Stitches Dies. I stamped some of the smaller flowers in Basic Grey onto the Basic Grey base card. I like how that carries through the imagery and ties everything together.

Here's another sample from the Stampin' Up! concept artists.

If you are looking for more ideas to use this bundle, check out my Petal Park Pinterest board. I have saved 29 inspiring samples on there to date.
