All Dressed Up - easter basket

I'm starting to prepare for Easter which is only a few weeks' away.  I created this Easter basket by extending how the Stampin' Up! All Dressed Up bag is assembled.

To create the basket I diecut and assembled 4 instead of 2 panels of the bag.  Each panel was dry embossed with the Coastal Weave embossing folder.  It was then filled with shredded tissue paper and Easter goodies.

The All Dressed Up dies and co-ordinating Dressed to Impress stamp set can be purchased separately or as a bundle from my online store.

Positive thoughts birthday card

The Stampin' Up! Positive Thoughts stamp set was used to create this card.

Until the end of March 2020, you can also purchase the co-ordinating Nature's Thoughts dies which were also used in the creation of this card.  As someone who doesn't like fussy cutting, I was so pleased to see this limited release of dies to co-ordinate with the stamp set.

Gilded birthday card

Continuing in my series of cards made using the Stampin' Up! Last a Lifetime stamp set & co-ordinating dies bundle, here's one where I've stepped-up the diecutting by adding gilding flakes which I had in my stash.

This card uses the smaller of the floral corner dies along with a couple of dies from the Nature's Thoughts die set which is a limited release and co-ordinates with the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

Here's a close-up of the gilded diecut section of the card.

Here's a portrait version of the card too.

Which do you prefer - the landscape or portrait version?  All products used in the creation of these cards are listed at the end of this post (except the gilding flakes which are not from Stampin' Up! and were from my personal stash).

Last a lifetime double floral card

One of my favourite stamp sets & co-ordinating dies bundle from the new Stampin' Up! January-June Mini catalogue is the Last a Lifetime bundle.

I made this card using this bundle.

Creating this card was easy as I used the largest floral corner die from the bundle to diecut the corners of some Blackberry Bliss card stock.  I stamped the sentiment from the bundle in the same colour and used the Banner Triple punch to flag each end of the sentiment. A Silver Glimmer paper banner was added underneath the sentiment before adhering it onto the card.  A couple of Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the sentiment added some sparkle.
