Sneak Peek - Seasonal bells wedding card

The Stampin' Up! 2016 Holiday Catalogue is being released on 1 September and I have a 'sneak peek' for you today as I couldn't wait to use some of its gorgeous new products. This card features the new Stampin' Up! Seasonable Bells stamp set and co-ordinating Bell Punch which can be purchased separately or as a bundle and save 10%. It also features the Moroccan Nights stamp set too.

I started with a square Wisteria Wonder card stock base and added a layer of the beautiful Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate in silver dots. These foil acetate sheets are double sided - with gold on one side and silver on the other so they suit any project (& don't forget to remove the clear protective coating before using it too). I then added a layer of Silver Foil in the centre of the card. I stamped the medallion from the Moroccan Nights stamp set in Wisteria Wonder onto Whisper White card stock. I then stamped the wedding bells from the Seasonal Bells stamp in Wisteria Wonder ink onto Whisper White card stock and added the Mr & Mrs in Elegant Eggplant ink. I used the Bell Punch to punch out the two stamped bells, layered them onto Silver Foil bells then added them to the medallion. I finished the centrepiece with a Rhinestone Basic Jewel and 5/8" Silver Satin Ribbon bow.

The Seasonal Bells bundle is versatile and can be use for weddings and Christmas projects too. The products used on this card have been listed below except for the Seasonal Bells and Bell Punch which are available from 1 September 2016 from my online store - just click on the picture and it will take you to my online store where the product can be purchased. If you don't currently have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, live in Australia and would like a Holiday Catalogue, please let me know. Workshops and papercrafting classes are also available - please contact me for details.

Thanks for visiting.

Swirly #5 - Swirly Bird

This is the fifth and last in my Swirly card series. There are still so many other uses for the Stampin' Up! Swirly Bird stamp set and Swirly Scribbles thinlits bundle and this last card features the cute bird from the set.

I started this card with a Stampin' Up! note card which also comes with a co-ordinating envelope. I used the background stamp out of the You've Got This stamp set and stamped it in Soft Sky ink. I die cut the swirly nests using the Swirly Scribbles dies in both Bermuda Bay and Sahara Sand card stock and adhered them over the background. I then stamped the bird, eggs and smallest nest and fussy cut them out before adhering them to the card and added a little Bermuda Bay twine bow. The 'hello' sentiment is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set and was punched using the Classic Label punch and layered onto a larger punched piece of Sahara Sand.

Swirly #4 - Hello

This Hello card is the fourth in the Swirly card series that features the Stampin' Up! Swirly Bird stamp set and Swirly Scribbles thinlits bundle.

Do you sometimes need a card to let someone know you're thinking of them or even a card for a friend with a new home? Then this card is perfect for such an occasion.

I started with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock and embossed it using the Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on which I had brayered Cajun Craze ink to get the realistic brickwork background. I then cut out a rectangle in the brick wall to make way for the window. I die cut the window using the Hearth & Home thinlet, added the recently retired Sahara Sand lace behind the window and used foam strips to adhere the window onto the brick wall.

The trellis was made by stamping the Hardwood stamp onto Crumb Cake card stock using Crumb Cake ink and then die cutting it using a Swirly Scribbles thinlit. The Swirly flowers and leaves were stamped using Peekaboo Peach and Pumpkin Pie ink before being die cut with Swirly Scribbles thinlit. The leaves were stamped in Emerald Envy. One leaf was left in the Very Vanilla colour and stamped in Peekaboo Peach with the 'hello' sentiment from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set.

Swirly #3 - Let's go fly a kite

This is the third card in the Swirly product series. From floral birthday and Christmas cards we now have a playful kite card which can be used for kids birthdays or other occasions too.

I started the card with a layer of Whisper White cardstock. I masked off a column on the left side of the card and sponged Emerald Envy, Mint Macaron, Marina Mist and Dapper Denim ink to form the column. I then stamped the striped part of the kite stamp from the Swirly Bird stamp set in both Emerald Envy and Dapper Denim randomly on the column. I stamped the kite on a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock, fussy cut it out (very quick to do) and layered it onto the card. I stamped the kite string & bows also from Swirly Bird stamp set directly on to the Whisper White layer along with the 'Enjoy the little things' sentiment from the Layering Love stamp set. This Whisper White card front was then added to a Dapper Denim card base.

The products used on this card have been listed below - just click on the picture and it will take you to my online store where the product can be purchased. Workshops and papercrafting classes are also available - please contact me for details.
