Angela's PaperArts: Hello Vine Design card

A few weeks ago I made a card featuring the gorgeous Stampin' Up! Vine Design stamp set and Gilded Leafing - you can see it here.  As I know not everyone is a fan of Gilded Leafing, I thought I'd make a similar card with stamped images rather than gilded images which seems to give the card a more contemporary look.

The colour scheme selected for this card included Just Jade and Magenta Madness Stampin' Up! inks, along with Basic White cardstock which is lovely and smooth for stamping.  Sadly the Vine Design stamp set and Flowering Vine dies are retiring, but the good news is that the dies will be on sale @ 50% off from 2 June, 2021.  Head here from 2 June to get your discounted dies while stock lasts.

Angela's PaperArts: Forever & Always wedding card

This Z fold wedding card was made for my niece and new nephew in-law and features the Forever & Always stamp set and Always dies bundle which sadly retires in June 2021.

It's such a beautiful suite with the Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper and co-ordinating Foil Sheets adding a touch of shimmer too. The heart charm was from my personal stash.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Angela's PaperArts: Gilded Vine Design card

I've combined two of my favourite products from the January-June 2021 catalogue on this card - the Vine Design stamp set with its co-ordinating Flowering Design dies (which can be bought as a discounted bundle) and the Gold Gilded Leafing also known as gilding flakes.

The Vine Design bundle is only available for a short time longer, so please head to my online store if you live in Australia to get yours today.

To adhere the Gold Gilded Leafing onto the stamped vine image, I first stamped the Vine Design image in Versamark ink and added the heat & stick powder.  I melted the heat & stick powder with my Heat Tool and quickly added the Gilded Leafing onto the stamped image and pressed it into place.  The end result is a beautifully gilded stamped image that is lovely and shiny 'in real life'.

Tip: You can use the heat & stick powder method to adhere other embellishments to your project such as glitter, light weight beads etc.

Introducing...

I decided to make a card featuring the gorgeous Elegantly Said stamp set and co-ordinating Elegant Tag punch in all five colours.  This made it easier for me to compare the colours when used simply with Black and White basic cardstock.  I also used the Simply Elegant Trim and 2021-23 In Color Jewels to complete the cards.

Soar Confidently birthday card

I made this birthday card for a special man in my life and it features the Stampin' Up! Soar Confidently stamp set. 

I paired it with the recently retired World of Good Designer Series Paper and Well Suited twin combo pack.

I kept the decoration inside simple as I wanted plenty of space to write my message, but managed to use most of the aviation stamps from the Soar Confidently set on this card, which the recipient loved.

Lacy Petals Mother's Day Card

It's Mother's Day here in Australia and I'd like to wish all the Mums a very Happy Mother's Day.

I used the Stampin' Up! Lacy Petals dies and Dressed to Impress stamp set to create this card for my own Mum.  

Here's a close up of the gorgeous stitching added by the Lacy Petals die when diecutting the shape.  You can also see the embossed card background where I used the recently retired Scripty embossing folder. The sentiment was punched out using the Treasured Tags Pick a Punch.
