Angela's PaperArts: Step wedding card

Do you have paper that you're keeping for a special occasion?  I have a small amount of 'special' paper which I love and will use on cards for special occasions like my niece's recent wedding.  Here's the wedding card that I made for the couple.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Wanted to Say dies step wedding card

The card features several retired Stampin' Up! products such as the Floral Heart dies, At First Sight stamp set and the Love You Always foiled designer series paper. I did use the current Wanted To Say dies to create the 'Celebrate' sentiment on the front of the card. I also used dies from Snazzi Scrappin to cut & assemble the card base pieces quickly & easily instead of having to cut the design the old fashioned way.

As the couple were having a Wishing Well at their wedding, I created a pocket to hold the money inside the card. I also used the pocket as a place to write our message to the happy couple.

I added their initials on the 'steps' inside the card to personalise it too.

So am I the only one keeping some paper for a special occasion?

Angela's PaperArts: Wedding survival kit

It's Spring here in Australia and that also means it's Wedding season.

Being a crafter certainly comes in handy when a wedding is being planned.  I made multiples of this Wedding Survival Kit for my niece's recent wedding.

Angela's PaperArts: Wedding Survival Kits with Stampin' Up! Tailor Made Tags dies

I purchased these cute hessian bags and had all the other materials on hand, such as the Stampin' Up! Tailor Made Tag Dies to create all the tags for the kits.

What do you think I included in the kits? I'd love to know if you would have included some different items compared to what I included in the kits.

Angela's PaperArts: Triple Point Father's Day card

It's Father's Day here in Australia this Sunday and I've been making cards suitable for the occasion for both my husband and Dad. Here's the card I made for my husband (which my son has already given to him).

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up 3D fern and Nature's Prints stamp set

It's a Triple Point card that features the Stampin' Up! Fern 3D embossing folder, Nature's Prints stamp set and new Joy to Christmas designer series paper being released on 6 September, 2023.

The front 'Happy Father's Day' sentiment & diecut are from the retired Garage Gears set. I also used dies from Snazzi Scrappin to cut & assemble the card pieces quickly & easily instead of having to cut the pieces the old fashioned way.

Here's a standing view of the card.

Angela's PaperArts: Legendary ride birthday card

When you have a family member who loves motorcycles, using the Stampin' Up! Legendary Ride stamp set to create a card was the obvious choice.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Legendary ride masculine birthday card

The sentiment is from the Legendary Ride Stamp set. The patterned papers are from the retired Legendary Ride designer series paper pack and the gear diecuts from the also retired Garage Gears die set. Mixing and matching current and retired items like this is easy when the products go together so well.

Angela's PaperArts: Celebrate Daisy birthday card

I thought I'd make a card using the Stampin' Up! Elegant Borders die set for a family member's birthday.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Fresh as a Daisy and Wanted to Say dies birthday card

I diecut the side of the card front for extra interest. I used the Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper and some Copper Clay accents to create the card.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Fresh as a Daisy and Wanted to Say dies birthday card

The paper is pretty and only needed the "Celebrate" sentiment from the Wanted to Say die set and some burlap ribbon coloured using Stampin' Blends to complete the card. Quick & easy to do.

I needed a 'thank you' card recently and as I love how border dies add extra interest to a project, I used one on this card.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Elegant Borders dies and Fresh as a Daisy angled thank you card.

Angela's PaperArts: Faux Framed Florets birthday card

Here's another Faux Centre Step card featuring some favourite retiring Stampin' Up! products, the Framed Florets stamp set and co-ordinating Framed Florets dies (which are currently 60% off RRP).

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Framed Florets faux centre step male birthday card

Whilst the Faux Centre Step card is easy to make, please be aware that it does use up more paper than the traditional Centre Step card.  This style of card is simply a varied height accordion fold card base with a tent fold card topper adhered over the base. It can be made in any size to suit your project.

Here's a side view of the card which shows the accordion folds on the card base.

Angela's PaperArts: Paradise Palms Centre Step card

Unlike last week's card, this card is the traditional way of creating a Centre Step card.  It also farewells some favourite retiring Stampin' Up! products being the Paradise Palms stamp set and co-ordinating Palms dies - both of which are currently discounted as part of the Last Chance sale.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Paradise Palms centre step birthday card

You can find my tutorial for making the traditional Centre Step here.

Here's a side view of the card where you can see that the card base and feature panels are all created from the one piece of cardstock.  This is a much more economical card to make compared to last week's Faux Centre Step card.
