Angela's PaperArts: Christmas chocolate slider box

Do you need an affordable gift for friends & work colleagues? Then this chocolate slider featuring Stampin' Up!'s retiring Leaves of Holly bundle is the perfect solution.

You simply make an open ended box and slide a chocolate bar into it between some ribbon and tie it into a bow. 

 Pull the ribbon bow and the chocolate slides out of the box.

These slider boxes can be made to fit any size of chocolate bar and decorated to suit any occasion.  I've used the retiring Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly stamp set & co-ordinating Holly Berry dies to decorate the largest chocolate slider, but you could use any embellishments to suit your purpose.

Angela's PaperArts: Whimsical Woodland Masked Christmas Card

I wanted to highlight how cute the Stampin' Up! Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder is on these cards.

I used a masking technique to create the coloured centre piece to highlight the embossing on both of these cards.  For the card on the left, I used metallic gilding polish from my stash for a bright finish.  For the card on the right, I used a Stampin' Up! blending brush to blend three inks for a softer look. 

Which do you prefer? 

Here's the brighter version with a metallic gilding polish centre.

Here's the ink blended version with three different Stampin' Up! ink colours.

You can also use paint and other colouring mediums with this masking technique.

Angela's PaperArts: Framed Florets Christmas Card

Some of my friends like non-traditional Christmas colour schemes and so I made this Christmas Centre Split Panel special fold card for them.  It features the new Stampin' Up! Framed Florets dies along with the limited edition Framed & Festive stamp set & Fitting Florets designer series paper which is only available while stock lasts or until 4 January. 

I used the largest oval die from the Stampin' Up! Framed Florets dies to join the top and bottom sections of the front of the card together.  

There is a co-ordinating Framed Florets stamp set which co-ordinates with the Framed Florets dies and this Framed Florets bundle is available with a 10% discount on RRP. The products used on this project can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Tech Support birthday card

If you have family & friends who are into technology, then the Stampin' Up! Tech Support stamp set is perfect for them.

I made this card for someone who is brilliant at IT and also builds their own computers. And if you're wondering what all the 0s and 1s mean, it says "For You" in binary code.  The birthday sentiment is from the retired Many Messages stamp set & co-ordinating die.

The Tech Support stamp set which is currently on sale along with the cardstock used on this card can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.

Angela's PaperArts: Framed Florets birthday card

I made this birthday card for a special young lady. It features the new Stampin' Up! Framed Florets stamp set & co-ordinating dies bundle.  I paired this bundle with the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper as this is one of her favourite colours.

I used two of the oval dies on this card.  One cuts out the hearts in an oval shape and these cutouts were highlighted by placing some Basic White cardstock behind the Pretty Prints layer.  I then used one of the other ovals as a frame around the birthday sentiment.  The leafy diecuts are also from the die set too.

Here's a close-up of the sentiment showing the etching that the die puts into the frame.

The Frame Florets bundle is part of the bigger Fitting Florets collection. The products used on this project can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.

Angela's PaperArts: Framed Florets Wintry Christmas Shaker Card

Stampin' Up! have today released a gorgeous new collection - the Fitting Florets collection.

This collection is perfect for birthday and Christmas projects, but some of the products are only available while stock lasts or until 4 January, 2023.  However, the Framed Florets bundle will be available in the January-June 2023 Mini Catalogue too.

I've used one of the Framed Florets oval dies and a sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set to create this Christmas shaker card.  It also features one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders. I had some metallic polish in my stash which I swiped over the raised pine branches to highlight them.

Here's a close up of the card with the detailed oval diecut and the gorgeous pine branch embossing from the Wintry 3D embossing folder set.
