Pretty Cards & Paper Blog Hop

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards
Pretty Cards & Paper

I am so excited to share projects with you from demonstrator friends around the world all using the Monster Bash OR Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper. I am honored to be a part of this design team and love that we can all share projects using the same DSP. Make sure to check out all the blogs (list at the bottom) and enjoy these projects from around the world.

Considering we don’t really celebrate Halloween that much here in Australia, I’ve decided to use the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper. And it’s one of the papers on offer in the Buy 3 Get 1 Free promotion.

So onto my card….

Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! Card created by Alisa Tilsner.

Now I don’t have the matching stamp set for this paper, so I chose the Country Harvest set to go with it instead. It’s not a perfect match, but I still think it works. Especially when you can chose the matching colours 🙂

On the flowers, I’ve used the Shimmery Crystal Effects to add a little glossy shimmer. It does take some time to dry, so it’s not something you could put on a card, then envelope up straight away. If you have the time, it’s a great addition to your cards.

So now that you can see my card open, you find it’s not an ordinary card. My friend Pam Jorgenson showed me a card she had made from DSP, I thought it was fantastic so had to make one too. I’m not sure of the measurements Pam used as we were video chatting.

The base of the card is the DSP. Mine measures 30cm x 13cm. On my score board, I turned the paper upside down so I was working from the right to the left (is that confusing) I scored at 10.5cm and at 21cm. This allows the card to be a regular sized card. The front panel is a little shorter, but allows some of the reverse side of the DSP to peek out on the left hand side.

So now it’s time to see what the rest of the Design Team has made using the their chosen DSP. Make sure to visit everyone to see all the fun things you can do with this paper.

If you have any questions about the card, or would like to order any of the products I’ve used, please feel free to contact me.

Cheers for now – Alisa

Stampin’ Down Under

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Hey Everyone!! I have some really exciting news!! Paula Dobson from NZ and I are teaming up! Woohoo!! We are going to be known as Stampin’ Down Under.

Stampin' Down Under

Over the next couple of months, we’ll have some little blog hops (they’ll be short just being the two of us) and then we’ll be offering some classes together.

So for our first little Blog Hop, we decided to pick a card that we each made and case it!

This is the card that Paula created and I’m casing. Click HERE if you’d like to see Paula’s original Blog Post.

Christmas Gleaming

Here is my version of Paula’s card.

Christmas Gleamin

If you’re a follower of mine, then you know I love teaming orange and pink together, especially at Christmas. I knew the technique that Paula used would be perfect for these colours.

On Shimmery Card, white emboss images from the Christmas Gleaming Bundle. Spritz card with water, then drop ink from Mango Melody Reinker onto the card. Then drop a small amount from Melon Mambo. I did have to spritz water a few more times to get the Melon Mambo to move around a little more. Let dry, then finished off your card. Easy!

So lets jump over to Paula’s Blog and she which card of mine Paula Cased.

Cheers for now

TGIF Challenge with Free as a Bird

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

It has been FOREVER since I participated in a Challenge. Today has been a weird weather day so later this arvo I decided to hit the craft room and just make a card for no reason. I’ve played along with the TGIF Challenge with Free as a Bird stamp set.

Here’s the challenge for this week. A sketch, which I love doing!

Here’s my take:

Free as a Bird

Now my background piece didn’t really look that great when it was just a piece of card and I really thought about throwing it in the bin. BUT..since turning it into a card, I think I like it!

Check back tomorrow evening for some exciting news 🙂

Leave a Little Sparkle

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Hey folks! It’s time for me to share our Linc n Learn cards for this week. We played with the Leave a Little Sparkle stamp set. I’ve had this set for some time now. Loved it when I saw it, then felt a bit meh about it. So as I was trying to decide which set to use, this one jumped out at me!

Leave a Little Sparkle

I saw a card by Lauren Alarid and loved the layout of it. I loved the whole card, but didn’t want to case it entirely, so I just pinched bits of it.

Leave a Little Sparkle

So hard to choose a card base colour for this one when there are so many colours involved. Any one of the colours in the mane and tail would have been perfect.

The colours I have used are Real Red, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. I used Smoky Slate for the body.

Leave a Little Sparkle

I’m not sure if you can see it properly, but I’ve used the new Shimmery Crystal Effects on the Unicorn Horn. Some of the ladies at Linc N Learn decided to paint Wink Of Stella on their Unicorns. I might actually go back and paint some on the mane and tail.. And maybe hooves, so he can leave a little sparkle where ever he goes!

That’s it from me today – Alisa
