Christmas Pines with Be Merry Paper Treat Bags

Welcome to the 3rd Installment of the Christmas Challenge Stampathon 2018 with three of my Demo buddies Ruth Trice 'Artful Stampin' from the UK, Denise Garrison 'Lady Bug Stampin' from USA, Rosalie Desmond from Australia. Our March is Challenge is to make  2 at least 2 Foldable Treat Bags that you can store flat ready for Christmas.


For my sample I have used Striped Treat Bags for the base of original and in th video sample I have used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit to create my bag from the Sale-A-Bration Springtime Florals Speciality Paper. For the first embellishment on the bag I used a strip of the Be Merry Paper along with a strip of the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate as the base and I flagged both the ends using the Tailored Tag Punch. I added the Metallic Foil Doilies over this with a punched circle of Emerald Envy card stock and the Banner from Mini Treat Bag which I Silver Embossed using the Noel Sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set.


My second sample is made using the Mini Treat Bags Framelits and Springtime Foils Paper from Sale-A-Bration with the same embellishment! And HERE is the video of my making it

Cake Soiree with Sweet Soiree Paper Card

I have card today full of shine to share with you today. It is my Wicked Woody's Team Swap, we used 2 pages in the Stampin' Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue Page 102-103 as inspiration. I used metallic, flowers and cake to inspire this card using Cake Soiree Stamp set, matching Sweet Cake Framelits and Sweet Soiree Speciality Paper.


The cake is Silver Heat Embossed on So Saffron card stock and cut with the Sweet Cake Framelits on the Big Shot I also cut 2 roses from the same set stamped in Calypso Coral and Rich Razzleberry. I also silver heat embossed the sentiment into a piece of vellum which I layered onto a piece of Sweet Soiree Speciality Designer Series paper with a Powder Pink. 


Here are the Pages we used as inspiration

Petal Palette Stamp Set with Petal Passion Paper Card

I have made this card a number of time over the past few months with a few group of amazing ladies and everyone has loved playing with the Petal Palette Suite, Stampin' Blends and Stamparatus from Stampin' Up!


The first part I created was the stamped roses from the Petal Palette Stamp set in Momento Black Ink and Coloured using Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive Stampin' Blends onto Shimmery White Paper (you can see all the shimmer in the picture below) I die cut it with the Petal & More Thinlits along with a vellum circle for it to sit on from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Shapes in the Big Shot. Also in the Big Shot I did a few more passes cutting out the stamped sentiment from Shimmery White also in Momento Black ink and the filigree piece from Rich Razzleberry paper and finally embossing the Rich Razzzleberry Card Front using the Petal Pairs Embossing folder. The last piece you need to make this card is a strip off the coordinating Petal Passion Designer Series paper.


Since I made this card in so many classes was able to showcase the Stampapartus and I had all the rose and sentiment piece die cuts all pre cut for the classes and used this technique which is great for mass producing as well.


The Stamparatus will available to purchase in the upcoming Annual catalogue in June. 
It can used just like this to stamp multiple images on a card (but not this fast!)

Truely Tailored, True Gentleman and Lots of Labels Framelits Masculine Card

I am sharing with you my recent Wicked Woody's Team Swap for February where we all followed a sketch to make our  cards. I have have used Truely Tailored stamp set and True Gentleman Paper available from Stampin' Up! I ended up making 2 batches of these cards as I needed a bunch of Masculine cards for my stash and they were so easy to put together.


I used the largest of the Lots of Labels Framelits for the base with the Gentleman Paper on a Crumb Cake card base. The next layer I flag ended a strip of the paper with the Banner Triple Punch. Using circle punches for the next layers in Tranquil Tide card stock and more of the paper as well a piece of vellum that I tucked under the Lots Of Labels Framelits shape. To ink up the Truely Tailored stamp I used Crumb Cake and Tranquil Tide Stampin' Write Markers that I stamped onto Very Vanilla card stock and punched using the co ordinating Tailored Tag Punch.

This is the Sketch that this card is based on.
