Soft & Pretty
Today’s card shows off another way to use the Perfectly Detailed stamp. It has so many ways that you can create different looks using this stamp. For today’s card, I attached a piece of Design a Daydream 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Basic White card.
I wrapped the top of the Designer Series Paper with a length of Gold Satin Edged Ribbon before stamping the greeting from the Go To Greetings stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Mint Macaron card. I stamped the Perfectly Detailed stamp onto Basic White card and cut out the image using the shape around the large floral image.
I coloured the flower using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. I attached the image to the left hand side of the card front using dimensionals before adding a large Basic Rhinestone to the centre of the flower. To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a narrow strip of the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Basic White card. I wrapped the top of the Designer Series Paper using a length of Gold Satin Edged Ribbon before attaching the panel to the inside of the card base. Another card I love using the Perfectly Detailed stamp. What about you, do you like it?

Woorim
Today’s page shows off some photos from our family Christmas get together at Woorim Caravan Park. We couldn’t all be there for the whole time but it was lovely to be able to catch up and relax. I used the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks to add Soft Sea Foam ink to a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I attached the large photo to a Basic Black mat before attaching it to the page. The other photos were attached directly onto the Basic White page.
I used the Classic Letters stamp set which is an Online Exlusive product to stamp the title using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I inked the palm tree image from the Paradise Palms stamp set using Early Espresso and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped onto the lower left hand corner. I stamped the sand image from the Paradise Palms stamp set below the palm tree image using Sahara Sand ink. The journaling is printed onto Basic White card and cut into strips to adhere to the page below the title. A simple page (aren’t they always) but brings back so many happy memories.

Irresistibly Happy
Today’s card once more uses the Irresistible Blooms Bundle which is part of the new Online Exclusive product from Stampin’ Up. I really love the softness of the colours in this particular collection which even brings back a couple of retired colours – Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon. For my card today, I attached a piece of the Hello, Irresistible 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper to the right hand side of Basic White card. I cut one short edge of a piece of Basic White card using the Basic Border Dies to give a pretty edge. I stamped the greeting from the Charming Sentiments stamp set across the bottom of the die cut using Flirty Flamingo ink.
I stamped the dotted background image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set onto the upper right and lower left corners of the die cut using Flirty Flamingo ink which I stamped onto scrap paper first. I stamped one large and two small flowers from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set onto Basic White card using Flirty Flamingo ink and cut them out using the co-ordinating Irresistible Blooms Dies. I stamped the three leaf image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set twice onto Basic White card using Soft Sea Foam ink and cut them out using the co-ordinating Irresistible Blooms Die. I attached the flowers and leaves to the stamped die cut panel using dimensionals underneath the two small flowers.
The stamped die cut is attached to the Basic White panel so that the decorative edge sits over the Designer Series Paper. The whole piece is attached to scored and folded Flirty Flamingo card. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the large flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Flirty Flamingo ink. I also stamped the three leaf image from the same stamp set beside the flower using Soft Sea Foam ink. I love this card which was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest by Julie Makson, although Julie used a different stamp set and Designer Series Paper. So thank you Julie. I’d love to know what you think about this gorgeous stamp set and the Online Exclusives.

Perfectly Colourful
For today’s card, I wanted to use the Perfectly Detailed stamp but I wanted to see how it would look if I used Stampin’ Blends to colour the whole image. To begin I stamped the Perfectly Detailed stamp onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I coloured the image using Melon Mambo, Smoky Slate, Dark So Saffron & Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. To make the it stand out a little more, I used the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend on the outside edges of the stamp and the Dark Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend to highlight the oval area of the stamped image. I trimmed down the image and attached it to Basic White card and then scored and folded Smoky Slate card.
I also added a large Basic Rhinestone to the centre of the large flower. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Charming Sentiments stamp set onto Basic White card using Melon Mambo ink. I love that you can use this stamp in so many different ways and I am sure that I will be trying this again using different colours. I think that this card has a bit wow factor, don’t you think?

Blackall
Today’s page shows off some photos of our road trip to Winton with our friends last June. Ron and I love Blackall with its Wool Scour and of course the very important Black Stump. I attached my photos to Pool Party card and then Basic Black card before attaching each panel to Basic White 12″ x 12″ pages.
I cut the title from Basic Black card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies before attaching them to the left hand page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and attached it to the bottom of the right hand page. I haven’t added any embellishments to these pages because there is so much going on in the photos. Some amazing art work in one of the small arcades and of course the table of wisdom in the main street.
These pages make me smile and bring back happy memories.

It’s Your Day
This week in my Facebook Live, I shared some cards I made using the Warm Welcome Bundle. I began by cutting Basic White card using one of the Picture This Dies. I embossed the panel using the Gingham Embossing Folder. I also cut a piece of copy paper using the same die. I attached the copy paper die cut to a Basic White panel and stamped three of the images from the Warm Welcome stamp set into the circles. I used Balmy Blue, Magenta Madness and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends to colour the images. Once coloured, I removed the mask and attached the embossed panel over the stamped panel.
I die cut three different patterns of Balmy Blue paper from the Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and attached the circles into the three small circles in the embossed panel. The whole piece is attached to scored and folded Balmy Blue card.
I die cut Basic White using the banner from the Warm Welcome Dies. I stamped the greeting from the Warm Welcome stamp set onto the banner using Balmy Blue ink and attached it to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Warm Welcome stamp set onto Basic White card using Balmy Blue ink. I attached a narrow strip of Balmy Blue card behind one long edge of Basic White card embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder and attached the panel onto the bottom of the stamped Basic White card. I had a lot of fun creating this card and just love the finished result. I would love to hear what you think.

Australia Day
We celebrated with a lunch at home, followed by an afternoon visit to our local Tavern to watch a great band (Double Jack). For my page, I trimmed down a Pool Party 12″ x 12″ page and attached it to a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I added a strip of the now retired Dainty Flowers 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper across the lower part of the page before attaching my photos. I cut the title from Basic White card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies and attached it across the top of the page.
I did add Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Basic White card before cutting the letters to make them easier to attach. I printed the journaling onto Basic White card and stamped the image from the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set across the bottom using Night of Navy ink. I stamped the guitar from the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set onto Basic White card, cut it out and attached it across the journaling panel. Although this is another simple page, it reminds me of what a fun day we had.

Share a Milkshake
This week in my facebook live I shared some cards I made using the Share A Milkshake Bundle. This Bundle is available in our current Mini Catalogue. For today’s card, I decided to create a Vertical Panel Fancy Fold. I attached Coastal Cabana card down the outside of a Basic White panel. I cut and Basic White card to create the folding section of the card and attached three strip of Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. (Unfortunately this paper is now retired.) I stamped a greeting from the Share a Milkshake stamp set onto the centre of the folding panel using Coastal Cabana ink and attached it to the card base. I attached Coastal Cabana card to Basic White card and attached it to the left hand side of the folding section of the card.
I stamped the solid glass image from the Share a Milkshake stamp set onto Basic White card using Crumb Cake ink which I stamped onto scrap paper first. I stamped the detailed image from the Share a Milkshake stamp set over the solid image using Crumb Cake ink. I stamped the ice cream image from the Share a Milkshake stamp set onto Basic White card using Coastal Cabana ink. I stamped the solid straw image from the Share a Milkshake stamp set onto Basic White card using Crumb Cake ink which I stamped onto scrap paper first. I stamped the detailed straw image over the top of the solid image using Crumb Cake ink. I also stamped the cherry image from the Share a Milkshake stamp set onto Basic White card using Real Red ink.
The glass, ice cream, straw and cherry images were cut out using the co-ordinating Share a Milkshake Die. I also cut Early Espresso card using the die from the Share A Milkshake dies to create the chocolate image. I stamped the heart image from the Share a Milkshake stamp set three times onto Basic White card using Coastal Cabana ink which I stamped onto scrap paper first. I stamped the greeting from the Share a Milkshake stamp set onto the bottom of the Basic White card using Coastal Cabana ink. The ice cream image after it is die cut has a small opening which allowed me to slide in the straw. I attached the ice cream image the top of the glass before attaching it to the stamped Basic White panel. I added the chocolate die cut and then the cherry using a mini dimensional. This is such a fun card to create and I think it turned out great using the Share a Milkshake Bundle don’t you?
