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.

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.

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).

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.

Here's the inside 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.

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.

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.

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.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Elegant Borders thank you card

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.

The border die used is one of the Stampin' Up! Elegant Borders dies and I diecut the Wild Wheat cardstock on an angle before adhering it over the Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper.  During June 2023, select papers are on sale at 15% off, including the Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper.

The sentiment and leaves are from the Layering Leaves stamp set and co-ordinating Bough punch.

I'm getting ready for Mother's Day this Sunday and made this gatefold card for my Mum.

It features the Stampin' Up! Something Fancy stamp set & co-ordinating dies, Elegant Border dies and Dry Brushed Metallic paper.  The leafy gold wreath was diecut from one of the Natural Prints dies.

Here's the inside of the gatefold card where I used one of the Elegant Border dies for added interest.

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).

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.

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.

Angela's PaperArts: Seashells Faux Centre Step birthday card

Today's card was made for a special person in my life. This card also farewells some of my favourite retiring Stampin' Up! products such as the Seaside Shells die and co-ordinating embossing folder, Celebrating You stamp set, By the Bay designer series paper and Sahara Sand cardstock.

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 close up of the detailed embossing on the embossed Seaside Shells diecut.
