I have another sneak peek from the upcoming Mini Catalogue – Simply Succulent Bundle.

Isn’t it just lovely? The stamp set contains 8 Cling images, these two plus two smaller succulents, and four sentiments. The sentiment I’ve used on this card is from the new Art Gallery Set.

The matching die set contains 13 dies. Dies to cut out the pot, and succulents, plus gorgeous labels to cut out the sentiments. PLUS there is a massive die that will give a laser cut look to cover an entire card front.

I’ve used a few Blends in this card:

• Smoky Slate Combo
• Cajun Craze Combo
• Pumpkin Pie Light
• Mossy Meadow Combo
• Old Olive Combo
• Soft Seafoam Combo
• Rich Razzleberry Combo
• So Saffron Light
• Chalk Marker

You might also notice a new DSP! It’s a 6″ x 6″ stack. They come in Brights, Neutrals, Subtles, Regals and the 2020-2022 InColors. AND you can get them FREE when you join my team during Sale a Bration. You get ALL 5 Stacks for FREE!! Not to mention all the other great reasons to join 🙂

Don’t forget tho, that the Retiring Sale is still happening, and it’s only while stocks last. Don’t miss out on the items you wanted, but didn’t get.

Cheers for now – Alisa

I get so excited when it’s time for another Stamp by Mail Subscription! We’re kicking off the New Year with a Sand & Sea Theme! I’m especially excited about these products, as some of them are nothing I’ve seen before. You can stamp, cut with your dies, then emboss the stamped cut pieces to give them even MORE dimension and detail.

So what exactly is my Stamp by Mail program?? It’s the BIGGEST ‘by Mail’ program I run. And I’ve been running them since 2007!!

Stamp by Mail is a subscription-based program, designed to save you time in your cardmaking.  I create 3 cards for each month for 4 months.  I precut your cardstock, and select your products so that everything coordinates perfectly for you.  All the guesswork is taken out. Each month you’ll receive a package in the mail containing FULL product plus a card kit to create 3 cards.

Included in the Sand & Sea Theme is:

• Friends are like Seashells Stamp Set
• Seaside Seashells Dies
• Sand & Sea DSP – Cut to 6? x 12? to fit in my post bag
• Seashells 3D Embossing Folder
• Pearlescent Specialty Paper – Cut to 6″ x 12″ to fit in my post bag
• Opal Rouds
• Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack
• 24 Card Kits over the 4 months (6 per month, 2 each of 3 designs) – FREE
• All Shipping and Postage Costs (Small Post Bag with Tracking)
• Instructions emailed

You will need a few of your own items:

• Black Ink
• Inkpads – Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Seaside Spray
• You may also need a Versamark Inkpad, White Embossing Powder and Heat Tool
• Sponges
• Adhesives & Dimensionals
• Aquapainter
• Additional Sentiments if you like

Here’s how the rest of it works:

Stamps by Mail will run over 4 months to which you will subscribe to. Each Month you will receive Product and your Card Kit in the mail from me. Instructions are emailed out.

For example: In the first month, you may receive the Friends are Like Seashells Stamp Set and Die. The first month’s cards will use just the product you receive in the first mail out.  As the months progress, you’ll have more product to play with and the cards become a little more involved.  You’ll have oodles of left over embellishments and paper to continue creating your own cards.

Cost

•  $55 per Month for 4 Months

What if I already have some products?

If you already have some of the products, please feel free to choose another product to the same value.

When does it Start? Stamps by Mail will begin in January 2021.  I will order supplies to come to me on the 5th of each month. I’ll ship them out as soon as I receive them.

Sign me up! – Registration will end on the 31st December 2020 (Australia Only). I will be sending out invoices around the end of each month, so you’ll pay nothing until then.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Time is running out if you’d like to order the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Variety Bundle. The bundle is available until the 4th January, BUT if you are wanting it before Christmas, you might like to order before the 9th December.

This card is actually a copy of one Stampin’ Up! made. Their colours were Black and White, but I’ve switched it out and used Cherry Cobbler instead.

Click on the photo above to purchase the Bundle.

So.. some tips on creating this card:

• Cut out the Vellum and Whisper White Layers at the same time: I layered my card pieces together and ran them through the Cut & Emboss Machine at the same time. This means that your curves will be in the same place on the card front.
• Change the Curve of your Stamp: The Thinking of you at Christmas sentiment was angled the wrong way to follow the curve of the die cut. Being photopolymer, I was able to bend my stamp in the direction I needed it to be.
• Take note of the Cutting Edge on the Die: Before placing the die on your card to cut, make sure you take note of where the cutting edge is! I cut the wrong edge, and had to do it again!! *rolls eyes*
• Use two Stamps on one block: I placed the two small star stamps onto one block which made the stamping on the card base quicker.

It’s a pretty easy card to construct. Gold emboss the stars on the card base. Gold emboss the sentiment on Whisper White card, the string of stars onto the Vellum layer. Adhere the Whisper White and the Vellum together, then to the card front. Adhere a piece of the Classic Christmas DSP to the bottom of the card front. Tie some Ribbon or Twine around the card. Adhere some Bling!!

I have another Card HERE if you’d like to see the second stamp set that comes with the bundle.

It’s also a new month so we have a new Code to use with your ordering!

Make sure you check out my December Prize in my Facebook Group, it’s Gorgeous!!

It’s our last Christmas PDF, the Stampin’ Down Under team have an Ornamental Envelopes Card Tutorial for you this month. A great mixture of Traditional and Non Traditional Christmas Colours! You will love them!

All PDF’s are in Australian $$ and can be purchased from anywhere in the world.

We hope you enjoy them.

I have a very different card for you today where the Stampin’ Up! Peace & Joy meets Detailed Doves Dies.

I’ve started by cutting two of the detailed wings and two solid ones from Vellum. Flip one over, I know that the cuts are the wrong side, but it’s a minor detail 🙂 Curve up the wings and adhere to the solid wings, but only at the head of the wings.

I’ve embossed Peace onto vellum with gold, cut out with matching die. I also gold embossed On Earth on white card. The white label is from the Tasteful Labels Dies.

And how gorgeous with the Gold Foil? I’ve embossed it with Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. Finished the card off with a few Gold Sequins from the Sequins for Everything pack.

Click on either of the photos above for a full list of products and easy ordering.

So, quite a different card from me don’t you think? What do you think of it?

I have a really great No Layer, Quick Christmas Card with Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set.

One piece of cardstock (you will need an insert though) will make 2 cards.

Here are the step by step instructions to make the card:

• Fold your Cherry Cobbler card base in half – mine is 10.5cm x 26cm scored at 13cm
• Using a Blending Brush/Sponge/Brayer Cherry Cobbler Ink around the outside edges of the card like a halo.
• Splatter some water over card. Allow to dry!
• Stamp Sentiment and Poinsettia Flowers in Versamark on your card front. Gold Emboss the images.
• Adhere Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to card front.

That’s it!! SIMPLE!! You could create these in ANY colour you like. Switch out the Gold for Silver or even White Embossing.

My big tip is to allow your card to dry before embossing. The sponging on your card might still be slightly damp and you’ll end up with embossing powder over the entire card – Ask me how I know 😉

Click on either of the photos above to see the products used in this card, and for easy shopping.

Just another reminder that my Peace & Joy Class by Mail is closing on Friday. side note: Sorry but I don’t sell the PDF’s for my Class by Mails. My Artful Stampers Team Community do get them for free after the event.
