Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey slimline birthday card

I often mix and match Stampin' Up! products to create a card or other project.

In this example, my slimline card was created using patterned paper from the Unbounded Beauty pack and diecuts from the Thoughtful Journey and Something Fancy die sets.

Here's how I decorated inside the card.

Do you also mix & match when creating a project?

Angela's PaperArts: Round We Go birthday Z fold card

This month I've been featuring the versatile Stampin' Up! Round We Go stamp & die bundle. For this card I used the dies to create a flower instead of a rosette embellishment. I used the Bough Punch to create the leaves.

I realise these dies are meant to embellish either the stamped or diecut rosette, but they also looked like they could be used as flower petals too. What do you think?

Here's a side view of the card.

Here are the dies I used to create the flower on the card. I mixed & matched the diecuts, but you could make the flower by die-cutting two of the same and layering them together. 

This bundle, along with other stamp & die bundles and machines, is discounted until 30 June.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Hip Hip Hooray rosette card

I've made another card this week using the  versatile Stampin' Up! Round We Go stamp & die bundle. I made this Z fold card with the bundle and the Take To the Sky designer series paper.

Here's a side view of the card.

To assemble the rosette diecuts from the Round We Go set, simply:

1. Diecut 2 rosette strips
2. Add adhesive onto the rosette diecut tabs
3. Concertina the strips along the scorelines & adhere together to form a circle.
4. Gather the top of the circle together and press down to form the rosette. Adhere a cardstock circle onto the centre of the front & back of the rosette to keep it in place.

This bundle, along with other stamp & die bundles and machines, will be discounted from this Wednesday, 5 June, with an 10% off the price.

Angela's PaperArts: Round We Go slimline card

I've been creating with the versatile Stampin' Up! Round We Go stamp & die bundle. I made this slimline card with the bundle and the Wanted to Say die set.

Here's a close-up of the rosettes on the card.

It's easy to create smaller rosettes too. Simply cut the rosette diecut in half and assemble in the same way as the standard sized rosette.  You do need to diecut two rosette pieces and adhere them together to form the rosette.

You can also choose which outer edge you like to have on the rosette: scallop, zigzag or straight.

This bundle, along with other stamp & die bundles and machines, will be discounted from this Wednesday, 5 June, with an 10% off the price.

Angela's PaperArts: Thoughtful Journey Mother's Day card

I'm getting ready for Mother's Day here in Australia.

I love the new Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey suite and used it to create this Mother's Day card for my Mum.

I didn't want to waste an inch of this pretty paper, so I cut out the middle and layered it up on dimensionals. 

Am I the only one thinking the florals in this suite look like Scottish thistles?

Inside the card I stamped the 'thistle' stamp using the direct to stamp technique. I coloured the stamp using my Stampin' Write markers instead of the inkpads so I could add two colours onto the stamp at the one time.

Just a reminder that if you like the new 2024-26 In-Colors and Stampin' Up! products, between 1-31 May is a perfect time to join Stampin' Up! as you will receive the new In-Color inkpads, A4 cardstock mixed pack, designer series paper pack and Stampin' Write markers for free in your starter kit.

Angela's PaperArts: 10 Years Stampin' Up! anniversary

Ten years ago today I joined Stampin' Up! as an Independent demonstrator. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Why?

1. I still love the co-ordination and quality of the products, and
2. I've met some wonderful, like minded crafters over this time, many of whom are now friends.

Papercrafting remains a joy in my life and I hope to continue helping you with your craft selections and purchases along with sharing my projects with you for many years to come. Thank you for supporting my small business during this time.

Angela's PaperArts: It's A Science birthday card

Today I'm farewelling the Stampin' Up! It's A Science stamp set.

This is such a good stamp set for making cards for those who love science. I coloured the microscope using the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. The coloured image was then layered onto a diecut from the Perennial Postage die set.

Here's the inside of the card. 

This stamp set is currently 30% off RRP and only available until 30 April 2024 or until sold out.

Angela's PaperArts: Farewell Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings stamp set

Over the next few posts, I'm going to share some of my favourite Stampin' Up! products which are retiring at the end of April 2024 and will also be  discounted from Tuesday, 9 April 2024.

The first product is the Circle Sayings stamp set.  I've found this set very versatile and have used it on many cards over the past year, including this Aztec Pyramid card. This card also features the retiring Artistic dies too. 

Here's a side view of this style of Aztec Pyramid card.

I also used the Circle Sayings stamp set on this Fractured technique card.

Easter Basket

If you have an Easter egg, bilbi or bunny that doesn't have packaging, why not create this quick & easy Easter basket.

You can use any patterned paper or cardstock to create these baskets. I also decorated them using the Stampin' Up! Bough Punch, recently retired Heartfelt Hellos Sale-A-Bration Easter sentiment along with the retiring soon Double Oval punch.

You can find the template and instructions for making this basket here, under My Tutorials.

You can adjust the size of paper to suit your Easter gift. For example, the Easter Egg basket below was made using a 9" x 9" piece of paper.  It's a great way to use up excess patterned paper too.

I would like to give a shout out to Darrell Lea this year. They're donating to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation with every purchase of the egg shown in my photo above.  It's wonderful to see a company supporting this very underfunded & deadliest women's cancer.

Angela's PaperArts: Gold Foiled Flowers 'hello' card

I'm still enjoying using the Stampin' Up! Gold Foiled Flowers cards & envelopes set to create cards.  This card uses that beautiful foiled paper, but I've coloured in some of the flowers & leaves using Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.

As the gold wreath from the Lifetime of Love bundle was initially too large for under my sentiment, I cut it apart to resize it to fit perfectly.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Gold Foiled Flower thank you cards

I needed some thank you cards and thought I'd use the new Stampin' Up! Gold Foiled Flower card bases to create these cards. These card bases also have co-ordinating envelopes in the set.

As the gold foiling is on both the front and back of the card base, I decided to cut the card in half and create two card fronts. It was an easy way to stretch my supply of this beautiful paper.

As the Gold Foiled Flower card bases are so pretty, it did all the hard work and I only needed a sentiment and a gold leafy diecut from the Lifetime of Love die set to complete the thank you card.
