Angela's PaperArts: Favored Flowers pop out card

Sale-A-Bration for 2023 is sadly ending this Tuesday, 28 February. If you're wanting to receive one or more free Sale-A-Bration items with an eligible order, please make sure you place your order by Tuesday night.

Here's a pop out panel card that I made using the free Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper and the Framed Florets bundle

When I first saw this paper, I'll be honest and say that I thought the large floral patterns were a little too busy for my projects.  However, the smaller patterns on the reverse side of the papers were perfect for my projects. I do love having two sides to paper so I can pick & choose a pattern to suit my style of project.

Angela's PaperArts: Teal Ovarian Cancer card

Did you know that February is the 'teal' Ovarian cancer month with Ovarian cancer being the deadliest of all women's cancers?  Until 9pm today, any donation to Ovarian Cancer Australia (OCA) will be doubled by their sponsors.  OCA provide teal nurses to support women with Ovarian cancer (something which has impacted my family) and they also raise awareness of this cancer within the community.

I've donated today and have made this teal card for a special teal OCA nurse.

Please do what you can to help support this cause as more research & support is desperately needed given the 5 year survival rate for Ovarian cancer is only 49% compared to 92% for breast cancer. 

You can donate here & thank you for your support: https://www.charidy.com/oca

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Alphabet a la mode Valentine's Day card

If you're running behind with your Valentine's Day cardmaking, this is a simple card which doesn't require any special Valentine's Day stamps.  All you need is some letter dies, like the Stampin' Up! Alphabet A La Mode dies to create the word 'LOVE', some paper and embellishments of your choice.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Alphabet a la mode Valentine's Day card and double stenciling technique

I also used the Country Gingham Designer Series Paper, Poppy Parade ink, Blending Brushes and a double stenciling technique to create this card.  

TUTORIAL: The steps to make this card are

  1. Make a square card base and layer some Country Gingham Designer Series Paper on top.
  2. Hand cut or diecut a large heart shape and use the negative of the diecut as a stencil.
  3. Using Poppy Parade ink and Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes, blend ink inside the diecut heart shape onto some Basic White cardstock.
  4. With the heart stencil still in place, overlay the inked heart with another stencil and use the Blending Brush to add more Poppy Parade ink.  This resulted in the diamond shapes appearing on the heart with tone on tone colour.
  5. Mat the heart cardstock onto some Poppy Parade cardstock.
  6. Wrap some linen thread around the heart.  This becomes a base to place the LOVE letters.
  7. Diecut the LOVE letters from the Alphabet a la mode dies in Poppy Parade cardstock and adhere onto the card on top of the linen thread.
  8. Adhere the heart cardstock onto the card base.
  9. Add some little resin hearts to complete the card. 

By using alphabet dies to create a card's sentiment, you don't need to have a special stamp set on hand.  These techniques, both the double stenciling and using alphabets for sentiments, can be used to create cards for any occasion, not just Valentine's Day.

If you're not familiar with ink blending or using blending brushes, you can learn all about it from my video tutorial here.

Angela's PaperArts: Dainty Flowers birthday card

I made this birthday card with the Stampin' Up! Desert Details dies and free Sale-a-Bration Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper.

Here's a side view of the card.

I cut out a section of the Dainty Flowers paper, layered it onto a co-ordinating cardstock mat and adhered it onto the card base with dimensionals to give it some height.

Alternatively, you can use a modern take on the 'rip & flip' technique where you flip over one of the diecut pieces to show the reverse paper pattern.

Which do you prefer? The same pattern version or the rip & flip version?
