Something Saturday - Iridescent Treat bags meets Sweet Jar

Image
 Hi there Creators We're back to the same stamp set & punch as last week, this time adding the Iridescent Treat Bags to create a really cool internal part to the jar. Wow the Iridescent Treat bags are really something, also incredibly sturdy, they do not rip (believe me I tried🤣) To see all the goodies I've used click this link: Heather's Treat Bags/Jar Cards This is the first card I made before the the video, I had stamped the baubles onto the window sheet and coloured them in with Stampin' blends (alcohol markers) as they will stay on the window sheet. But this second card I made in the video I wanted the sweets to be behind the iridescent layer (plus I wanted them to not be black!, and the only ink I have that will stamp on window sheets is my Stazon Black Not sure how easily you can see the bling, but Oh my goodness it goes well with this, I've used the Two tone Sparkling gems (very pretty blue & purple'y colours) I've used a white piece measuri...

Painted with Love Designer Series Paper

-
Hi Everyone,
As I accidentally ordered 2 packs of Painted with Love Designer Series Paper (which ironically I wasn't terribly keen on to begin with lol)  I thought I'd do a few cards to showcase the papers to encourage my enthusiasm for them!  I do love the gold foil card in them (gotta have bling! lol) they're on page 19 in the new Occasions catalogue.
Just so you know I cut each to a piece of 6x3", then trimmed it down to fit on the cards, I wanted the paper itself to have centre stage, let me know what you think!

So the first one might look a tad familiar if you've been following my blog.....
then the rest are "new" lol
So up next I thought I'd play around with "non-standard" folded cards, so made these 2 also using the, Sale-a-Bration thinlit dies "Celebrate You" you can earn these for FREE! with an order over $180 during the Sale-a-Bration period 3rd Jan to 31st March, the second card also uses wording from "Picture Perfect Birthday" stamp set (page 5 in the new Occasions Catalogue)

 Then I've teamed it up with another Sale-a-bration set, this time "Happy Wishes" Stamp set it's a Mega set that has 16 stamps in it!  If you use the Black Archival ink pad, and allow it to dry, it will stamp over the gold embossed areas in the paper.  This first "Anniversary" card I've flipped the Designer series paper over for the saying - it's cut to 6x3", then I've trimmed off 2cm from one end to add, flipped it over and stamped the saying on it.  The second card I chose to keep the end piece the same way up, but have sponged round the edge.  Isn't that "Happy" gorgeous?  there's another large saying "best" which I haven't used in these cards (work on that.....,watch this space....)

Ok, so one last piece of DSP (Designer Series Paper) to go, I think this one could be my favourite card from this set.

What do you think, do you like this Designer Series Paper?  which is your favourite of the cards above?
Hope this inspires you to create
God Bless love

 Hi there Creators, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan).

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-

 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...
