Angela's PaperArts: Pine wreath Christmas card

I do like making wreath cards. I created this pine wreath Christmas card by layering pine branches from the retiring Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel die set around a Deckled Circle diecut.

Once the wreath was formed, I then layered it onto a square card base featuring the also retiring Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper.

Here's a close-up of the pine wreath focal embellishment.

The current Stampin' Up! products used on this project can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia. All retiring products are only available while stock lasts or until 3 January 2024 at the latest.

Sneak Peek #1: Stampin' Up! 2016-18 In-Color Sweet Sugarplum

I was fortunate to be selected by Stampin' Up! to make card samples using the brand new Stampin' Up! 2016-18 In-Colors for the demonstrator only #OnStage2016 event held in Sydney on 16 April.

I received a couple of new stamp sets along with the five new colours and was asked to make 20 card samples (four of each colour) to highlight the new 2016-18 In-Colors.

This is the first of five posts, one for each colour giving you a sneak peek of the new colours and some of the new stamp sets being released with the new annual catalogue on 1 June 2016. If you are interested in Stampin' Up! products and are located in Australia, please contact me as I'd be happy to assist you.

Colour #1: Sweet sugarplum

Sweet sugarplum is a soft muted colour which works well with many of the other Stampin' Up! colours such as Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Smoky Slate and Mint Macaron.

This 'happy mother's day' card features the Sweet Sugarplum 30.5cm x 30.5cm (12x12") 2016-18 In-Color DSP stack, card stock, ruched ribbon and classic ink along with the Circle of Spring stamp set and Wondrous Wreath framelits.

This card features the Sweet Sugarplum 30.5cmx30.5cm 2016-18 In-Color DSP stack, card stock, ruched ribbon and classic ink along with the new Love You Lots hostess stamp set. I watercoloured the elephant and mouse using Smoky Slate and a touch of Sweet Sugarplum classic ink.

This card features the Sweet Sugarplum 30.5cmx30.5cm DSP stack, card stock and classic ink along with the new Layering Love stamp set. I used the current First Sight stamp set, silver metallic foil doily and bow builder punch to add a touch of elegance to this card.

My last Sweet Sugarplum card featured the new Gift of Love hostess stamp set. This is a gorgeous two step stamp set and the 'For You' sentiment is also from this same set. I created a layered frame using the Lots of Labels framelits with Night of Navy and Sweet Sugarplum card stock.

I hope you've enjoyed this sneak peek of some new stamp sets and the Sweet Sugarplum 2016-18 In-Color. Check back for the other four colours.

Merry Moments Christmas in July

Christmas cards are always popular and Christmas in July is a good time to make a start on Christmas cards so you have plenty on hand when you need them later in the year.

These two cards feature the Christmas themed Merry Moments Designer Series Paper (DSP) by Stampin' Up! which actually has a lot of versatile patterns suitable for everyday occasions as well as Christmas.

Two cards, same DSP but two different looks.

This card features the Stampin' Up! Wondrous Wreath stamp set and co-ordinating Wonderful Wreath framelit set. I've added a splash of bling by using the Red Glimmer Paper and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details for berries on the wreath. The 'Celebrate' wood veneer sentiment from the Expressions Natural Elements set completes the card.

For this card I embossed the background with the Elegant Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder before adding the centrepiece. I used the Note Tag punch to create the tag base, stamped the Merry Everything Christmas sentiment and layered it onto a gold metallic foil doily. The Note Tag punch and Merry Everything stamp set can be purchased individually or as a bundle which saves you 15% of RRP too. Cherry Cobbler thick baker's twine finishes off the centrepiece. I used a gold metallic marker to colour the pearls gold to match the metallic foil doily.

As an example of how versatile the Merry Moments DSP can be, here are three different cards I made using one sheet (both sides) of one of the patterns from this range. Here's the link to the centre 'Dad' card below where you can find more details about that card: http://angelaspaperarts.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/World's-Greatest-Dad.html
