Online Exlusive
Yesterday saw the launch of a new way to purchase exclusive Stampin’ Up! products. These products will only be available online. They will never appear in any catalogue! These products will not have a specific retirement date, some will be re-ordered, some will be only while stock is available. You can search for this product here in my online store. Of course as a demonstrator I was able to purchase some of these new exclusive products early. So today I have another card to share using the Irresistible Blooms Bundle which I shared on my Facebook Live yesterday. I embossed a piece of Basic White card using one of the folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
These folders are part of the Online Exclusive product and are sold as a set of three, all of which are absolutely lovely. The embossed Basic White panel is attached to scored and folded Petal Pink card. I cut a piece of Early Espresso card using the circle die from the Irresistible Blooms Dies. I attached the panel to Basic White card and stamped the greeting from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set inside the Early Espresso frame using Early Espresso ink. The panel is attached to the card front. I stamped the large flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set onto Basic White card using Petal Pink ink. I also stamped one of the leaf images from the same stamp set onto Basic White card using Soft Sea Foam ink.
The images were cut out using the co-ordinating Irresistible Blooms Dies. I attached the flower and leaves to the card front using dimensionals. I added three pink Loose Frosted Dots to the card front as well. These Loose Frosted Dots are not self adhesive, so I added a small dot of Multipurpose Glue to the card front and added the Frosted Dots over the top. 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 Petal Pink ink. I stamped the leaf image from the same stamp set next to the flower using Soft Sea Foam ink. I just know that you are going to love the Irresistible Blooms Bundle and the gorgeous Basic 3D Embossing Folders. I cannot wait to get my hands on some of the other product available. So why don’t you check them out here in my Online Store.

Birthday Florets
Today’s card is one I created for a special lady who recently celebrated a birthday. I stamped the greeting from the Peaceful Moment stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of Basic White card using Smoky Slate ink before embossing the panel using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder. I attached two different patterns of Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to the embossed card before attaching the whole panel to scored and folded Smoky Slate card. I cut Basic White card using the 2nd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I stamped the image from the Framed Florets onto the die cut using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent and Dark So Saffron Stampin’ Blends. The image panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals.
To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a narrow strip of Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Basic White card. I stamped the image from the Framed Florets stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of the Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The image is coloured using the same Stampin’ Blends as the image on the front of the card. I really love how soft and pretty this card is, don’t you.

Girls Night Out
Today’s page shows off some photos of the night we went to QPAC to see Hamilton. I was treated to my dinner and ticket by my two lovely daughters. Three of my granddaughters attended as well. Such a great show and a lovely night. This beautiful paper will soon be retired, but you could use any of the gorgeous papers you have in your stash. I cut varying widths of Fresh Freesia patterns of the Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series paper. I cut a “v” in one end of each strip and attached them down the right hand side of my Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I attached the two small photos to Basic Black card before attaching the photos over the Designer Series paper. I printed the title onto Basic White card and fussy cut the words and attached them to the top left hand corner of the page.
I stamped the large flower from the Beautifully Happy stamp set twice onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added the flower fill image using Balmy Blue ink and the leaf fill images using Granny Apple Green ink. I cut out the large flowers and leaves and attached each one to the page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and cut it into narrow strips. attached I each strip to a narrow strip of Fresh Freesia card before attaching the strips to the lower left hand corner of the page. I still have lots of this beautiful Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper to use up, so I guess you will be seeing it on more pages in the future. Of course, you could change it out for any of the beautiful papers you have in your stash. I must admit that I truly love the Beautifully Happy stamp set as well, mostly because it is two step and you get great depth in the ink when you stamp. I hope I am inspiring you to get your photos off your phone and onto pages so that you can enjoy sharing them with your loved ones.

Happy Birthday
For today’s card, I embossed Basic White card using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a circle from Soft Succulent card using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I attached the circle to the embossed card before attaching a strip of Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper across the top. I attached the embossed card to scored and folded Thick Basic White card using dimensionals. I stamped the image from the Framed Florets stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I coloured the image using Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent and Dark So Saffron Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the image using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and attached it to the card front using dimensionals. I stamped “happy birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set onto Basic White card using Soft Succulent ink. I cut a “v” into one short end of the greeting banner and attached it to the card front using dimensionals where necessary.
To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a narrow strip of Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Basic White card. I stamped the same image from the Framed Florets stamp set on the left hand side of the Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using the same Stampin’ Blends before attaching the panel to the inside of the card base. I am loving this beautiful Designer Series Paper which is one of the items you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-Bration.

Pop Up Owl
Today I have a card to share with you which I made for my great nephews birthday. I attached a piece of Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to the front of a Thick Basic White card base. I used Basic White and Balmy Blue card to create the pop-up mechanism following instructions I purchased from Elizabeth Shannon. I stamped the owl from the Adorable Owl stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Gray Granite, Balmy Blue and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. The greeting on the pop up comes from the Party Puffins stamp set.
I stamped the greeting onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut it out before attaching to the Basic White card. The ribbon on the pull mechanism is Balmy Blue & White 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon. I used the Fancy Tag Topper punch to create the place for the ribbon.
I realised after I had put the pull mechanism together that I needed to decorate the Basic White panel, so I cut a couple of strips of Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper and attached one to the top section and one to the bottom section which I think looks ok. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the cake image from the Party Puffin stamp set onto Basic White card, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Balmy Blue and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the greeting from the Party Puffin stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut it into two pieces before attaching it beside the cake. This is a fun card to make and really not that hard once you give it a try. I hope Jack liked it too.

Longreach
We visited Longreach last year with our friends and spent quite a few days there – there is so much to see and do. We attended the Old Time Tent show at the back of the Station Store and laughed till our sides hurt. For my page today I cut two strips of Night of Navy which I embossed using the splatter folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders. I cut a strip of balmy blue card and embossed is using the stripe folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders. I cut a piece of Smoky Slate card which I embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I layered all of these strips of card and attached them to the left hand side of a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I cut a circle from Balmy Blue card using the Layering Circle Dies and embossed is using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing folder. I attached the Balmy Blue circle beneath the photo on the bottom right. I cut a circle from Smoky Slate card and embossed it using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.
The circle is cut in half and attached to the bottom of the page. I cut the title from Night of Navy and Basic White card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies and attached it across the bottom of the page. I cut a circle from Basic White card using the Layering Circle Dies and printed my journaling onto it. I attached the journaling to a Night of Navy scalloped circle cut using the same dies before attaching it to the page. Another simple page but I love how you can add interest to the page just by using some of Stampin’ Up!’s basic supplies such as embossing folders and dies. I’d love to hear what you think.

Perfectly Detailed Birthday
This week in my Facebook Live, I shared some cards I made using the Perfectly Detailed stamp. This is a large stamp and covers the whole of a card front. For today’s card I embossed Basic White card using one of the folders from the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders. I stamped the Perfectly Detailed stamp onto Basic White card using Smoky Slate ink. I cut the panel in half and attached it to the bottom of the embossed Basic White card.
I attached a narrow strip of Melon Mambo card across the top of the stamped panel using dimensionals before attaching the Basic White panel to scored and folded Melon Mambo card. I stamped two of the leaves from the Perfectly Detailed stamp onto Basic White card using Granny Apple ink and cut them out.
I stamped the large flower image twice onto Basic White card using Melon Mambo ink. I cut out one full flower and one centre of the flower and attached them together using dimensionals. The flower and leaves are attached over the embossed half of the card front. I stamped the greeting from the Charming Sentiments stamp set onto Basic White card using Melon Mambo ink. I used the co-ordinating Sentiment Silhouette Die to cut out the greeting before attaching it to the card front. To decorate the inside of the card I stamped the large flower onto Basic White card using Melon Mambo ink. I stamped two leaves onto Basic White card using Granny Apple Green ink. I cut out the flower and leaves and attached them to the bottom of Basic White card. I stamped another greeting from the Charming Sentiments stamp set onto the Basic White card using Melon Mambo ink.
I loved the finished result and decided to create another card using Highland Heather and Pear Pizzazz ink and Highland Heather card. I think they both look lovely, don’t you?

Retirement Wishes
For today’s card, I embossed Basic White card using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and attached it to scored and folded Mossy Meadow card. I stamped the image from the In The Country stamp set (available 4.1 – 28.2.2023 FREE with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration) onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Mossy Meadow, Light Old Olive, Dark Soft Suede and Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.
I cut out the image using the smaller frame from the Fabulous Frames Dies. I used the same die to cut Soft Suede card and the larger frame die to cut Mossy Meadow card. I used the centre piece from the large frame and attached it to the card front. I used the Soft Suede outer frame from the smaller frame and attached it to the Mossy Meadow Panel. Lastly I attached the stamped and coloured panel.

I punched Mossy Meadow card using the same punch and attached the greeting. The greeting panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Paradise Palms stamp set onto Basic White card using Mossy Meadow ink. I embossed a narrow strip of Basic White card using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and attached a narrow strip of Mossy Meadow card behind one long edge. The embossed panel is attached to the bottom of the stamped Basic White card.
I am no artist but I think that the image looks like a painting, don’t you?

Flowered Birthday
Today’s page shows off my eldest daughter celebrating her recent birthday. I attached the photo along with strips of the Favoured Flowers Designer Series Paper (which you can earn for FREE with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration) across a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I printed the title onto Basic White card and cut it out using the Layering Circle Dies. I attached the title to a Blackberry Bliss scalloped circle cut using the same dies before attaching it to the page.
I cut the flowers from the Favoured Flowers Designer Series Paper and attached them across the bottom of the title. This paper co-ordinates with the Fragrant Flowers Bundle which you will find on page 21 of the current Mini Catalogue. I do not have the Fragrant Flowers Bundle but love that you can use the paper to cut out images to create beautiful pages or cards. Don’t delay placing your order if you want this paper as Sale-a-Bration is drawing to a close. If you order the Fragrant Flowers Bundle you only need to add some dimensionals or adhesive to the order and you can have the paper for FREE. Happy shopping!

This paper is FREE with a qualifying order ($90.00) during Sale-A-Bration. This paper also co-ordinates with the Fragrant Flowers Bundle which you can find on the page 21 of the new Mini Catalogue. Order the Frangrant Flowers Bundle and add some dimensionals and you can get the paper for FREE, but don’t delay because these products are only available while stocks last.
I cut the two card bases from Basic Black card and attached pieces of the Favoured Flowers Designer Series Paper to the large back panel as well as the front and tops of the boxes. I cut Basic White card and stamped “with deepest sympathy” from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto the lower left hand corner using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I cut a flower from the Favoured Designs Designer Series Paper and attached it to the upper right hand corner of the stamped Basic White card before attaching the whole panel to the card front. To decorate the back of the card, I cut two flowers from the edge of the Designer Series Paper and attached one flower to the bottom left hand corner and a small flower to the upper right hand corner of Basic White card. I stamped another greeting from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of the Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The Basic White panel is attached to the back of the card so that you can write a message. These pop up cards are fun to make and the great thing is they fold flat to go into a standard envelope.
