Cool Treats Acetate Window Card

categories: Birthday, Cards, Facebook Live, Fancy Folds

Hello all my crafty friends!

Today is the day I can share my Sunday Night Live video with you all…Finally! I had a little upload issue happening during the week – but I got there eventually! I love how technology can really limit us sometimes!

On my Sunday Night Live video this week I showed you all how I create my acetate window cards. They are not to difficult to do, but create a great effect! I used the Cool Treat Bundle for these cards! Since I have started playing with this bundle, I have found it a little difficult to stop!

They’re a little tricky to photograph, so here’s another view…

and here is another using the same suite…

This suite is seriously so much fun!

Pop over to my channel – My Paper Oasis on You Tube to watch the video and create your own acetate window cards!

Here are the measurements:

Watermelon Wonder card base – 4 1/8” x 7 7/8” – score at 5 7/8”; piece 2” x 4 1/8”
Pool Party Layer One front card piece 4” x 1 7/8” – 2 pieces needed.
DSP strips Layer Two front of card – 3 7/8” x 1 3/4” – 2 pieces needed.
Window Sheet 4 1/8” x 3”
Pool Party for inside card 5 5/8” x 3 7/8”

Colour INKspiration CI04 – Botanical Blooms

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, Colour Inkspiration, Flowers

Hi everyone and welcome to another amazing Colour INKspiration! This week we have another amazing colour scheme for you play along with and spur your creativity. Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month the crew share with you our creations using the selected colour palette. You can join the fun too by posting your creation on our Facebook page – no blog required – just upload your photo!

You may be starting the hop here or come across from Kim’s blog. Either way – hop around, be inspired and leave some blog love by commenting on the posts to encourage us!

I love colour challenges that take you out of your comfort zone and really get you thinking! The challenge this time was no different! I had to play with ideas in my head for a while before I finally sat down to stamp!

This week we are playing with the colours Delightful Dijon; Elegant Eggplant; Whisper White and Crushed Curry. What a colour palette to work with. These colours look stunning in the images above. This is another colour selection that I would never have naturally put together, so it was fun to play with! I built the idea of the card in my head well before I inked up a stamp, so was very happy when it came together!

I created the stamped raised frame by Stamping on the white card front before cutting four of the frame outlines with the stitched shapes and Layering Square Framelits. I then adhered them together and popped them back in their original position. I used the stamp off method for the spots and flowers, so the colours weren’t overpowering the entire card. I then decorated with a range of flowers from the Botanical Blooms Framelits. That gorgeous sentiment is from the Designer Tee stamp set which you can redeem for FREE during Saleabration!

Here’s a little peek at the inside of my card! I cannot get enough of those STITCHED SHAPE framelits!!!!!

Well I hope you enjoyed my creation and are encouraged to continue around the hop to see all the other amazing projects!!!

Hop on over now to the lovely Monique to see what project she has created using this colour suite!

CTC #115 – Delicate Details Wedding Card

categories: Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, CTC, Wedding

It’s Sunday night, so that means it’s time for another CASEing the Catty Blog Hop!

Have you been joining in the fun on our new Facebook Group. Its as simple as uploading your project to the correct album on the Group! You may have come from the lovely Julia Quinn tonight, or be starting right here! Take a look around and see what has inspired us this week!

Our challenge for this week is to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) anything we like from pages 8 – 11 of the Saleabration Catalogue! Remember – you don’t need the particular stamp set – you could be inspired by the colours, layout, backgrounds, absolutely anything on the projects!

This week I thought it was time to pull out my Delicate Details Stamp Set. It hadn’t seen ink yet, which is a shame, because it’s a lovely set. I took inspiration from the card on the left on Page 9 of the Saleabration Catalogue…

I really wanted to ink up those layers just like that card. It’s quite easy to do – just line up all your stamps and place your block on top to attach them, and stamp in one image.

I wanted to try this background with gold heat embossing….so thats what I did!

That gold really pops off the card and it looks so elegant!

And the best bit – this stamp set is totally FREE and yours to choose when you spend $90 during Saleabration! Who doesn’t love a freebie!

Now its time to continue to the wonderful Judy May to see what she has in store for you! Just click the image below.

Colour INKspiration #3 – CI03

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, Colour Inkspiration, Flowers, Techniques

Welcome to our third Colour INKspiration Challenge! And WOW do we have a colour challenge for you this week!

You may have come from Elizabeth Gross and here stunning project, or you may be starting here. So hop around to get some inspiration and ideas for this unusual colour combo, and then pop in to our Facebook page and play along with your very own creation!

We are using 5 colours for this INKspiration challenge – Marina Mist; Peekaboo Peach; Soft Suede; Whisper White and Soft Sky.

A gorgeous, but I’m not going to lie, a bit of a tricky challenge. I really enjoy colour challenges to stretch me out of my comfort colour zone, but I had to play with this one in my head for a few days before I decided what products I wanted to use for this combination. I was quite happy with the end result.

A simple watercolored background was the base for this card. I used the Stamp Off technique to soften the colours of soft suede and peekaboo peach, with a full coloured flower behind the stamped off one.

I love removing the white background on the White Perfect Accents and then using them on watercolour backgrounds. I also added the little ‘leaf’ shape pieces that I cut in vellum from the long border framelit to create a bit more interest on the background.

Don’t forget to keep hopping around to see what everyone else has created with this challenge! Next on the hop is Paula Dobson with her amazing project!

CTC114 – Sending Love Acetate Card

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, CTC, Fancy Folds

Hi everyone!

We are back for another CASEing the Catty Challenge where the design team inspire you with projects that we have used to spur our creativity! You may have arrived from Julia Quinn’s post or be starting right here – either way we are thrilled that you joined us!

To CASE means to Copy and Share Everything, so thats what we do! And you can too – just hop around to see what the design team has created, then hop off and create your very own CASE from the pages mentioned below and upload to our Facebook group using the link at the end of the post. It’s that simple!

I am thrilled to see so many of you participating in the challenge over on Facebook, and I love that the latest entries have been using different sets to CASE a layout! Well Done Everyone!

This week we are CASEing anything from the Occasions Catalogue Pages 14 – 19. I have to say – these pages hold lots of favourite sets for me, so it was quite difficult choosing what I wanted to use – but as I have an upcoming class using the Sending Love Suite, I decided to begin playing with that!

I knew I wanted to try and create an acetate card ( I think that’s what they might be called???) for this class – so I began playing around with card colours and papers. As sweet as it is – I really wanted to break up all that red and white in my card, so I introduced some crumb cake to tone it down a bit. I really like the combination of colours! I then used that little white card in the top left corner as inspiration for the base of my card – I just changed up the colours a little and substituted one envelope for the glassine sheet envelope (Like I said – I wanted to tone down that RED! Lol).

It’s a bit tricky to get a good picture with the acetate centre – but I really love how it turned out! I hope the girls at class enjoy this fancy card too!

For my second card I let the blue card in the pic above inspire my layout, but I really wanted to step away from the ‘Valentine’ theme to show people just how versatile this set can be…. I mean those cute envelopes should be enough, but just in case…. I thought this beautiful friend sentiment was perfect. I adore that font…if only I could write like that!

I stamped the sentiment ‘sent with love’ along the edge of the card with versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. I ‘turned’ all the hearts on the DSP for contrast (warning – you have to be a bit gentle here or you can tear the hearts), and as I have been doing a lot lately – I framed the sentiment using the Stitched Shape framelits – I can’t get enough of those! Seriously!

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your cards for that extra special touch!

I do hope you enjoyed my projects this week!

Make sure to hop on over to the very talented Judy May to see what she has created for you all this week!

And once you have finished hopping around – don’t forget to post a pic of your very own CASEd project in our Facebook group!

And ppppssssttttttt…..we love it when you leave us a little comment too!

Keep Crafting!

Colour INKspiration Challenge #02 – Jar of Love

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, Colour Inkspiration, Fancy Folds, Flowers, Techniques

Welcome to our second Colour INKspiration Challenge! We had some amazing entries to our first challenge – thank you all for playing along! It’s truly hard to choose a winner with so much talent to choose from! The top 5 for the first challenge will be listed on the Facebook Page so make sure you pop on over and take a look!

If you missed last week – here’s all the information –

The Colour INKspiration Crew consists of a team of talented Aussie and NZ Stampin’ Up! ® Demonstrators that create projects based on Pinterest inspired colour swatches.

There’s also a Facebook group for Stampin’ Up! ® enthusiasts who would like to share their paper craft projects using the colour combinations.

Here’s the deal – Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm (AEDT), a new colour swatch will be uploaded to the Facebook Colour INKspiration Group and the Colour INKspiration Crew will get the ball rolling by providing inspiration for each challenge with a blog hop.

Members of the group have the option to join the Colour INKspiration ‘Challenge’ by uploading photos of their projects and can link back to their personal blog if they wish to.
Make sure you click on the link below and ask to join Colour INKspiration, add the group to your favourites and share it with your crafty friends so they can join in with the challenges too.

Hope to see you there!

This week we have another gorgeous colour combination. I love how images can be the inspiration for our colour choices – it inspires us to use colour combinations we may never have thought of! This weeks colours combine Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky, Mint Macaron, Whisper White and Garden Green – and does that image remind you of anything! Just our succulent set in the Occasions Catalogue!

I don’t have the succulent set myself – but I had an upcoming class using the Jar of Love Bundle – so I thought these colours would be perfect to inspire my class project!

I used the Stamp Off method to create my flowers, giving the appearance of two different colours so they had more depth. Its such a great method to use when you have a limited supply of colours – or only have certain colours to work with – like a colour challenge! The class ladies loved it too!

Hop on over to the amazing Simone Bartrum to see what gorgeous project she has created for this challenge by clicking on the image below!

And don’t forget – you can easily play along too without a blog – just post your pic over on the Colour INKspiration Facebook Page – HERE. We are looking forward to seeing your amazing creations.

CTC112 – Cupcakes and Carousels

categories: 3D, Cards, Challenges, CTC, Scrapbook Pages, Techniques

We are back this week for another CASEing the Catty Challenge! We have had some fantastic entries over on our Facebook Page – so keep them coming – we are so glad you are enjoying the new way to play along! This week for our challenge we are taking inspiration form the Cupcakes and Carousel section of the Occasions Catalogue on pages 8 – 13. Remember, you don’t have to have any of the stamps sets to play along, you just use the images in the catalogue to spur your creativity! It may be the paper, colours used, images, designs or layouts that you use to inspire you to create your project!

I cannot tell you how much I love this suite (I know – I love just about all of them! Lol) – but this suite makes it easy! And it has a real vintage feel about it! I love the DSP paper stack (I just wish they were 12×12!), the colours that are used in the suite and the stamp sets! It made it so easy to create my projects…and I guess I took inspiration from it all!

The one thing that really caught my eye in this picture were the Rosette’s . I used to love making these, but had forgotten about them – until now! So I knew I had to use them for this challenge.

I set about creating a scrapbook page using the Carousel Birthday Set – it came together so quickly for me, which surprised me, because I am not a natural scrapbooker! It just goes to show…when you have the right products its easier to create!

Do you see the stamped Carousel Horse Image on my page? I took inspiration from one of the actual papers in the DSP stack- this one –

I love the way they looked, so I made my own. Its easy to do – just stamp your image in the lightest base colour (in this case peekaboo peach) and the ink up other ares using a sponge dauber with your stronger colours (calypso coral and early espresso). See – easy and SUPER effective!

I didn’t stop there with this suite either. I decided to have a bit of fun and made this 3D carousel, well, just because I could, using a large rosette for the roof! And if you are wondering how the centre is made – it’s from our empty ribbon spools – I never throw them out! Lol.

I hope you enjoyed these creations this week! This suite is LOADS of fun, so I encourage you to have a play and join the challenge. Simply upload a picture of your creation to the album on the Facebook page HERE.

Now it’s time to hop on over to the wonderful Julia Quinn and see what she has created for you all!

Keep crafting!

CTC111 – Saleabration of Hey Chick

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, CTC, Easter, Techniques

Its time for another CTC challenge and this time, we can CASE anything from the Saleabration Catalogue! How fun is that… there was sooooo much to choose from but I knew exactly where to start!

From my first sneaky peak of the Saleabration Catalogue at On Stage I knew that I had to have the Hey Chick Stamp set. Those chickens are so darned cute I couldn’t help myself. It was the first Saleabration set I added to my order. Apart from the chicken with the crazy hairdo, my other favourite was they way the chicken had been coloured on page 17 –

She is so bright and colourful and not really what you expect your chicken to be! So I just had to put her on a card! So on she went – Ready in time for my new product play day this week, so others can make her too!

I love how our stitched Framelits really set off images! And the great news is – they will be back in stock and ready to order from the 16th of January! The cool chicken wire background was created using the new hexagons dynamic embossing folder. Simply pat your ink on the raised edges, lay your card stock over the top and rub gently with your bone folder or sponge brayer and voila…instant background from any embossing folder! And it coordinates perfectly with our little chickens!

Hope you like her! Now pop on over to Julia Quinn’s blog to see what she has created for us this week!

And don’t forget – you can play along too on our Facebook Page by clicking HERE!
