Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Symbols of Fortune Floating Gap card & video tutorial

A few weeks ago I posted a Floating Gap card which I had made for my Mum for Mother's Day. You can see it here. As I've received a few queries about the card, I thought I'd share a short video on how to make it.

Here's the Symbols of Fortune card made during the video which features a Basic Gray, White and Gold colour scheme.

I used the Fabulous Frames dies for the centre frame, but did add photo corners from this die set onto the card after the video was finished. The sentiment is from the Celebrating You stamp set. Again thanks go to Iced Images for the inspiration behind the design of my card. The floral embellishment on the card comes from the Good Fortune die set. 

Here's the video on how to make this card.  Please note it is an unedited Facebook Live replay.

              

This card is quick and easy to make and can be made for any occasion.  Why not give it a try.  If you're wondering what products were used on the Blackberry Fern version at the beginning of the video, it was the Stampin' Up! Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper, Forever Flourishing dies, Stylish Shapes dies and Celebrating You stamp set.

Angela's PaperArts: Pretty Pillow box treat gifts

It's that time of the year when we find ourselves needing little gift treats to hand out to family & friends.  I used the Stampin' Up! Pretty Pillow Box dies set to create these treats which were filled with various chocolates.

This landscape version of the Pretty Pillow Box has the pillow box curved ends glued closed and the centre flap is tucked under the embellishments (which were also in the die set).

This portrait version has the centre flap glued closed and the ends are able to opened like a traditional pillow box.  I decorated it using a tree from the Christmas Trees dies upon which I had sponged some darker ink to give it some shading & dimension.

The products used on these projects are currently available and can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.

Angela's PaperArts: Whimsy & Wonder shaker card

The countdown to Christmas has started and my card today features the Stampin' Up! Bright Baubles stamp set and co-ordinating Delicate Baubles dies bundle to create a shaker card.

The card also features the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper with its delicate colours and touches of Silver Foil.  The bauble was diecut from one of the darker silver colours in the mixed Silver Foil Specialty Pack.

Tip: Use the Stampin' Up! Foam Adhesive Strips to ensure that your shaker card sequins or glitter stay in place.  The foam adhesive strips can easily be shaped around the curves of the baubles or other diecut shapes.

The products used on this project are currently available and can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked mask card

I've been doing more masking and ink blending again using a diecut as my mask and featuring the Artistically Inked stamp set & co-ordinating dies bundle.

I used the beautiful floral spray diecut from the Artistic dies set which is part of the Artisically Inked bundle used on this card as my mask and added ink using my Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes.

After adding ink

Once I removed the mask I was left with the negative image which I turned into a birthday card.  I could have left the mask on the card, but I'll share with you next time how I used it to create another card - I basically got two cards out of the one technique using both the positive and negative images. 

A close up of the 'negative' inked image once the mask was removed.

 

Tip:  So if you don't have the right plastic mask, use one of your dies instead to create what you need.The products used are currently available and can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.

Ornate Garden Twisted Easel card

Today I'm saying goodbye to the beautiful Ornate Garden Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper, Ornate Border dies and Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder, all of which are retiring on or before 3 May, 2021 and which were used on this card.

I taught this card in one of my online classes last year, and it's still one of my favourite versions of the Twisted Easel special fold card because of the colour scheme and gorgeous papers.

Here's the card when it's closed which highlights the beautiful Tin Tile embossing.

Joy Christmas card

I couldn't resist the red foiling on the Stampin' Up! Wonder of the Season Memories & More card & envelopes pack - it's gorgeous. 

I teamed it with the Christmas Gleaming stamp set, co-ordinating Gleaming Ornaments punches and Playful Alphabet dies to create this card. The ornaments were heat embossed with Silver emboss powder to add some extra sparkle too. Most of the items used are included in the Year-end Closeout sale on now.
