Tungamar
Today’s page showcases some photos from our trip to the Great Ocean Road. Tungamar was our last stop on the Silo Trail from Benalla to Shepparton. Such a lovely little town and the silo art work was amazing. So was the mural painted on the public toilets next to the Tourist Information Office. I used layout one from the Enjoy the Ride Workshop Kit for these pages.
Unfortunately this Workshop Kit is no longer available, however, you can purchase the Cardmaking Kit or just the papers if you wish. I did change things a little bit, I used the banner that was provided in the kit to cut Basic White card. I cut the title from Night of Navy card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies which I attached across the hand cut banner, which worked better with my pages. I also replaced one of the photos with a journaling panel. I used a Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Marker to create a frame around the journaling panel as well. It is kind of a busy layout but I think it goes with the wildlife silo art, don’t you?
There are a few new Scrapbooking Workshop Kits available with the new release on the 7th January, so take a look at my online store to see more.

Butterfly Birthday
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards I created using the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. Today I have another card created using this product suite. I used the die to cut the butterfly card base from Thick Basic White card. I stamped two of the images from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set onto the butterfly shape using Calypso Coral ink. I die cut the large butterfly from one of the patterns from the Beautiful Bokeh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper using the die from the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder and attached it over the stamped butterfly. I die cut the large butterfly body from the same paper using the die from the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder and attached it over the die cut butterfly.
I stamped “happy birthday” from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set onto Basic White card using Calypso Coral ink and cut it out using the banner die from the Hybrid Embossing Folder. To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a piece of the same pattern paper from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. I die cut another of the large butterflies from the card base from Thick Basic White card and attached it to the Designer Series Paper so that it was hidden behind the butterfly on the front of the card. This will give me somewhere to write a message. The layout for this card was CASED from page 38 of the January to April Mini Catalogue. I think I am going to have fun using this fabulous product suite in the future. I hope I have inspired you to take a look.

One More Year
This is a stand alone stamp set from the January to April Mini Catalogue. It has fun images and sayings and today I have my first card using this set to share with you. I attached two strips of Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to Basic White card. I attached the panel to scored and folded Azure Afternoon card. I die cut a circle from Azure Afternoon card using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies and attached it to the card front using dimensionals.
I die cut Basic White card using the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I stamped the cake image from the One More Year stamp set onto the Basic White circle using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Azure Afternoon & Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.
The stamped circle is attached to the centre of the Azure Afternoon circle. I inked “happy birthday” from one of the greeting stamps in the One More Year stamp set using Azure Afternoon ink and stamped onto Basic White card. I used one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out the greeting before attaching it to the card front using dimensionals where necessary. To decorate the inside of the card I stamped another greeting from the One More Year stamp set onto Basic White card using Azure Afternoon ink. I stamped the small “starry” image on either side of the greeting using the same ink which I stamped onto scrap paper first. I know that this is going to be a fun stamp set to create with. I hope I have inspired you to take another look at this stamp set.

Anzac Day
Today’s page celebrates some photos from our Anzac Day celebrations way back in 2010. I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper from the A Little Bit Festive 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper using the 1, 2, 3 layout from my first class. This pattern on the opposite side of this paper is very similar so I also cut a piece of Night of Navy 12″ x 12″ card using the same layout. This gave me enough paper to create two double page layouts, one of which I am sharing today. I embossed one 3-1/2″ x 12″ piece and two 1/2″ x 12″ of the Night of Navy card using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. I attached each of the 1/2″ x 12″ embossed strips of card across the bottom of two pieces of Basic White 12″ x 12″ card. I attached a 3-1/2″ x 12″ piece of Designer Series Paper above the Night of Navy card. I cut the 3-1/2″ x 12″ piece of embossed Night of Navy card at 7″ and attached the 7″ piece to the left page and the 5″ piece to the right page above the Designer Series Paper.
I cut one 1/2″ x 12″ strip of Designer Series Paper at 7″ and attached each of the narrow strips above the embossed Night of Navy panels. Some of my photos are attached to Basic White card and some to Night of Navy card before attaching them to the page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and stamped the image from the now retired Painted Poppies stamp set across the top. I used a Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blend to colour the image. I cut the title from Night of Navy card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies and attached it across both pages.I stamped three flowers using the images from the Painted Poppies stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the flowers using the Real Red Stampin’ Blends before cutting them out using the co-ordinating Painted Labels Dies (retired). I also stamped and coloured three single leaves and two multi-leaf images from the Painted Poppies stamp set onto Basic White card. I coloured the leaf images using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. The single leaves are cut out using the co-ordinating Painted Labels Die. The multi-leaf images were fussy cut. I attached the flowers and leaves beside the title on the right hand page. The smaller flower is on dimensionals. I stamped the large greeting from the Autumn to Remember stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I cut out the image using one of the Nested Essential Dies. I stamped “a day to remember” from the retired Project Life Remember This stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink and used the banner from the Iconic Imagery Dies to cut it out.
I love how this page turned out and love using the 1, 2, 3 Layouts by Noreen Smith (the creative and organised Mom).

With You in Mind –
Happy Birthday. This week in my Facebook Live, I share some cards I created using the With You in Mind stamp set which will be available for customers to order in early January. I decided to copy one of the projects shown in the Mini Catalogue to create this card. I embossed a piece of Pretty in Pink card using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (unfortunately this one has already sold out) and attached it to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I stamped “happy birthday” from the With You in Mind stamp set onto Basic White card using Crumb Cake ink. I inked the cupcake image from the With You in Mind stamp set with Crumb Cake and Pretty in Pink ink and stamped three times across the bottom of the greeting.
I cut a “v” into the right hand end of the stamped panel. I cut a strip of Pretty in Pink paper from the 2024-2026 In-Colour 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper which I wrapped with a length of Iridescent 1/2″ Striped Trim before attaching it to the left hand side of the stamped images. I tied a length of Basic White Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack around the ends of the Ribbon before attaching it to the card front using dimensionals.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped a greeting from the So Sincere stamp set onto Basic White card using Crumb Cake ink. I stamped another cupcake image beside the greeting using Pretty in Pink and Crumb Cake ink before attaching the panel to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base. I am so happy with how this card turned out. The project in the Mini Catalogue is simply a tag but I could use it to create a card. I love using the projects shared in the Stampin’ Up! catalogues as inspiration for my creations and I hope you do too.

Poised Birthday
Today I am sharing a card I made for my daughters birthday. I was inspired by this card on Pinterest by Karen Barber to create my version. I attached Real Red card to the left hand side of Basic White card and embossed the panel using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. I wrapped the right hand edge of the Real Red card using the Large Check Ribbon. I stamped the large flower from the Poised Peony stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Real Red and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends before cutting out the image using one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
The image panel is attached to the embossed panel using dimensionals. I stamped “happy birthday from the Something Fancy stamp set onto Basic White card using Real Red ink. I cut a “v” in the left hand edge of the greeting before attaching it to the card front. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I tied a bow in a length of the Large Check Ribbon and attached it to the flower using a Glue Dot. To decorate the inside panel, I embossed a narrow strip of Real Red card using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and attached it to the left hand edge of Basic White card.
I stamped a greeting from the Unbounded Love stamp set onto the Basic White card using Real Red ink. I stamped the smallest flower from the Poised Peony stamp set beside the greeting using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Real Red and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends before attaching the panel to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base. I love how bright & pretty this card is, so thank you Karen for the inspiration.

Festive Memories
Today’s pages show off some photos from an afternoon Ron and I spent at my daughters watching the Christmas Tree getting decorated. I used the layout from my January Memory Keeping class to create this page using products from the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit and A Little Bit of Festive ephemera (retired). I used Basic White 12″ x 12″ card as the base layers for the pages.
I stamped the title in Real Red onto the right hand page using the greeting from the Reindeer Memories stamp set. The stamp is the perfect size for creating titles and the stamp set also has some other great images for your memory keeping pages. The jounaling is printed onto Basic White card and attached behind the frame from the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. The Christmas tree and the present images are part of the A Little Bit of Festive ephemera. The border across the bottom of the photos on the left hand page comes from the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. The lights were part of a rectangle frame which I cut and trimmed to fit across the panel.
I love how changing the paper and photos but using the exact same layout can produce such different pages. Check out this page which was also created for this class using the same layout.

So Thankful
for you. Today’s card uses another of the stamp sets that you can earn for free during Sale-A-Bration if you spend $200.00 on any current Stampin’ Up! product. I stamped one of the corner images from the Corner in Bloom stamp set onto the top left and bottom right hand corners of Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Dark Fresh Freesia and the Dark Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends to colour the image.
I stamped the greeting from the So Sincere stamp set onto the middle of the Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Fresh Freesia card. To decorate the inside of the card I stamped another greeting from the So Sincere stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the small floral bouquet from the Corner in Bloom stamp set beside the greeting using the same ink.
The image is again coloured using the Dark Fresh Freesia and Dark Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends. This stamp set has so many possibilities and so many different floral images to create beautiful cards and I am sure it will also be a great addition to my memory keeping. Don’t forget Sale-A-Bration ends on the 28th February 2025 and is a fabulous time to stock up on some of the items on your wish list and earn something for free.

Bowen
Todays page shows off some photos from our first visit to Bowen back in 2010. Bowen is such a peaceful relaxing place to visit and the waterfront is absolutely amazing. I created this page for my Memory Keeping class today. This class is a bit different in that everyone brings their own supplies and together we learn a new way to cut our paper to create a double page layout. I used the Take to the Sky 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and Basic White 12″ x 12″ card to create my pages. I sponged all of the edges of the Designer Series Paper pieces using Smoky Slate ink. I added some extra layers of Smoky Slate and Night of Navy card. The title is cut from Night of Navy card using Mini Alphabet Dies.
The landscape photos are all matted onto Night of Navy card before being attached to the page. I used some of the tags from the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper and created two tags from Basic White card. I stamped one Basic White tag with a greeting from the Snow Day stamp set using Night of Navy ink. I stamped the second tag three times with the greeting also from the Snow Day stamp set using Night of Navy ink. The edges of the stamped tags are also sponged with Smoky Slate ink. I used my Crop-a-dile to punch a hole through all of the tags and threaded them with some of the Blue thread from the Natural Tones Linen Thread. I used scrap pieces of Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper and Basic White card to create the banners on the right hand page.
The edges of the banners are all sponged with Smoky Slate ink as well. I stamped “memories” from the Love This Moment stamp set using Night of Navy ink. My journaling is printed onto Basic White card and cut into strips. I sponged the edges of the journaling strips with Smoky Slate ink before attaching them to the left hand page. These classes are a new addition to my schedule and so far the ladies are enjoying leaning a few new tricks.
