Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin Up! Washi Tape

Hi!

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop and welcome from the wonderful Alisa Tilsner's blog.

Once again, I find myself making a card at the last minute and you know what....notecards and washi tape to the rescue!

I used the 2014-2016 Washi Tape pack - one piece of each on a pre-scored notecard. I added some washi tape to the envelope too.

Here's the sketch...

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Happy Birthday Everyone

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.

Okay...I'm going to show you my second card first and my first card second....

Here's my second card....made at the eleventh hour after I suddenly got a surge of creativity. :)

I made an ombre display of Spiral Flower die cut flowers - the colours are Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Watermelon Wonder and Calypso Coral. 

I also stamped my greeting after inking up with the three colours (all except Calypso Coral). 

I added some Crystal Effects as dewdrops on my flowers. I will have to make a large box envelope for this card to accommodate the flowers as they are quite big. It will be a lovely card to give to someone though. 

Here's the first card that I made and blogged.....there's an explanation under it. :)

I really struggled with the sketch this week....I had butterflies, scalloped circles, hexagons...you name it, I had it ALL going on a square 6 x 6 card! 

...but nothing seemed to work...so I dipped into my scraps pile and found a cool card base and some punched card stock from the Convention Make n Takes. 

I took some artistic license with the sketch since the literal versions weren't working for me...the rest of the Design Team put me to shame! Theirs are so beautiful!

I went with the 4 vertical circles in the form of some White Perfect Accents x 3 and the 'I Think You're Great' circle sentiment x 1 

I curved the bottom right hand side of my card with the Envelope Punch Board. 

Here is our sketch...

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! I Think You're Great.

Hi

Here are a couple of cards that I made at the recent Stampin' Up! Convention on the Gold Coast this year.

These cards showcase the NEW I Think You're Great stamp set and several of the beautiful new In Colors.

The card above was made using a Watermelon Wonder wash on watercolour paper....you just let the colour run lighter towards the top. The Mint Macaron banner was stamped with the scalloped line stamp and the sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White and punched with the 1 3/4 circle punch (or you could use the Circle Framelits if you wanted a narrow border). The flowers were made with the Flower Medallion Punch and the leaves were made from this also by punching Cucumber Crush card stock and only using a few of the petals. 

This note card was made by using Mint Macaron and Cucumber Crush ink applied with a sponge to the stamp to get a graduated look. The sentiment was hand cut. The cool stripe at the side of the card is from the Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper stack. 

I hope you like my cards. If you have been inspired by them and would like to support my creative business, all the supplies may be found by clicking through the links below which will take you to my store (some links not active until 2nd June).
