Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper Sale a Bration item

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

The Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper is one of the items on offer in the Sale a Bration catalogue this year. I can tell it’s going to be so popular too.

One side is coloured, the other is black and white. Some graphic designs, others you can colour.

For my card today, I’ve decided to go with a single colour. I’ve actually started a Colour of the Week Challenge in my Team Group, last week was Bermuda Bay. I decided to play along too.

Swirly Bird Note Card

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Some time ago, the Stampin’ Up! South Pacific Facebook Page shared a graphic with a great colour combo and a cute little handmade gift bag using said colour combo. I loved the gift bag, and thought I’d turn it into a note card.

Materials & Instructions:

Swirly Bird Stamp Set
Swirly Scribbles Thinlets
Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set
Notecards & Envelopes
Mint Macaron Card 3.5″ x 5″
Soft Seafoam Card 8cm x 8cm
Whisper White Scraps
Mint Macaron Ink
So Saffron Ink
Pear Pizzazz Ink
Balmy Blue Ink
Leaf Trinkets
Natures Twine

Swirly Bird Stamp Se

Stamp splatter image twice on Mint Macaron card with Mint Macaron Ink.
Adhere Mint Macaron card to note card base.
From Soft Seafoam card, cut out the large swirly scribble shape.
Adhere swirly scribble to card front with dimensionals.
Stamp and cut out 2 large flowers from So Saffron, 3 small flowers from Mint Macaron, 3 large leaves from Pear Pizzazz, 3 small leaves from Pear Pizzazz.
Adhere two Leaf Trinkets under swirly scribble shape.
Stamp sentiment on in Balmy Blue, trim to suit and adhere across swirly scribble shape.
Adhere flowers and leaves around the edge of the swirly scribble shape.
Tie Natures Twine in a bow, and adhere to card front.

Now, if you don’t have any of the Leaf Trinkets, you can punch out a few leaves from Silver Glimmer Paper.

If you purchased from me during December, you’ll be getting a card kit in the mail to create your own Notecard.

Design it with Designer Series Paper

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Welcome to another Design it with Designer Series Paper Blog Hop. We are an international design team of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators who have come together to share projects focusing on the beautiful Designer Series Paper in the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue. Each month we are featuring a different paper. This month it is the 6 x 6 Colour Collections. Make sure to check out all the blogs in the hop for a different idea using this month’s featured DSP!

I’ve decided to use Melon Mambo and Mango Melody from the Brights Collection. And I’ve teamed it up with the new Butterfly Gala Bundle that is being released 3rd January in the Occasions Catalogue.

Since we are featuring the Designer Series Paper and not the actual stamp set, I wanted the paper to be fairly bold.

I love the bold stripes and dots together. Let’s Celebrate You is from another new set coming called Itty Bitty Birthdays. I can finally give my Sunshine Sayings set a rest!

Of course a butterfly card wouldn’t be complete without some Wink of Stella!

It’s time to see what the rest of the Design Team has made using the Colour Collection DSP. Make sure to visit everyone to see all the fun things you can do with this paper.

Simple Stamping Thank You Challenge

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

If you’re on any form of Social Media, you might have seen the hashtag #simplestamping being used a fair bit lately. Stampin’ Up! have been encouraging us to get back to stamps, ink and paper, which is where it all started for them. So much so, that they have set us a challenge – a Simple Stamping Thank You Challenge.

Using only 1 Stamp Set, Ink (they didn’t say how many) and the Notecards from the Annual Catalogue, we had to come up with a card. It was suppose to take only a minute to create. Well, I did mine in a Live Facebook, and I’m sure if I didn’t chatter and fluff around so much, my card would have taken only a minute!

I think I managed to cover the criteria for the challenge. Now I challenge you to create a simple stamping card!

Goodbye Signs of Santa

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Another of my favourite sets from this Holiday Catalogue is Signs of Santa, which we say goodbye to.

Signs of Santa was part of a suit called Santa’s Workshop which contained the stamp set, dies, Designer Series Paper, ribbons, embellishments. The Memories and More Card Packs have already sold out. If you wanted items from this suite, please don’t wait too long.

Here are some cards I made with this set.

Isn’t this just the cutest set? Colouring in Santa, Mrs Claus and the Elves really does give you a warm feeling.

Also, a quick update – The Clearance Rack has had items added to it. Here are a few of my picks.

Cheers for now – Alisa

Goodbye Beautiful Baubles

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

I’m very sad to say Goodbye to Beautiful Baubles. And to think that this was a set I wasn’t even going to purchase!

If you don’t have it yet, I can highly recommend getting it.

Here’s a little card inspiration for you.

The Year End Close Out Sale is about half way through. Don’t miss out on all the retiring items you had your eye on! If you don’t mind Wood Mount sets, you can score a bargain as they’re all discounted!

Cheers for now – Alisa
