Paper Pumpkin Shelli Kit

May 16, 2019 Leave a Comment

One of Stampin’ Up!’s goals is to surprise and delight you with fun, new creative experiences. And we think you’re going to absolutely love what we have up our sleeve this fall. Shelli Gardner, board chair and cofounder of Stampin’ Up!, has partnered with Paper Pumpkin to create a limited edition, nature-focused, Shelli-inspired kit. (In fact, lots of you may have heard this exciting announcement at OnStage.)

Though Paper Pumpkin isn’t currently offered outside of North America, we wanted to share this very special kit with everyone. And because our global markets have long been curious about the Paper Pumpkin program, we thought you’d love to have this unique opportunity to see what it’s all about.

The look and feel of this kit is all Shelli. It’s elegant and feminine, and so full of natural details that you’ll probably just want to take a walk, breathe in the fresh air, and then go home and stamp every card in the kit. And the box it comes in? We predict that you’ll be keeping it . . . like . . . forever. Wait and see.

Part of what makes a Paper Pumpkin kit special is that we don’t reveal the projects inside the box ahead of time. I don’t know about you but I love surprises, and this allows purchasers to experience an element of surprise and excitement when they receive their kit in the mail.

The Shelli kit from Paper Pumpkin includes the following:

An exclusive stamp set not available anywhere else
One Classic Stampin’ Spot® from our Classic ink collection
Paper and crafting materials to create 12 cards (3 cards of 4 unique designs)
12 exclusive, coordinating envelopes
Adhesives and embellishments for all 12 cards

Coordinating Stampin’ Up! colours: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla

You will also need a Clear Block D (item 118485) which is not included in the kit.

Shelli describes the kit as ‘A touch of earthy and elegant spring with lots of layers and texture.’

And remember, everything in the Hugs from Shelli kit is pre-cut and ready to go. No planning or prep is required . . . which make these kits perfect.

If you would like to order one of these kits either shop online or contact me.

Strong & Beautiful meets Genuine Gems and Botanical Butterfly

April 28, 2019 Leave a Comment

Hello everyone, today is a gloomy day here and a great day for crafting so that’s what I have planned for this afternoon. But first I wanted to share a card I made for my friend’s daughter for graduation of her degree, and it uses 3 stamp sets and the Botanical Butterfly designer series paper which has now sadly retired.

the colours in my head for this card were So Saffron and Highland Heather and one sheet of paper was the perfect colour. The base card is So Saffron cardstock – standard size 29cm x 10.5 cm and scored on the long side at 14.5cm. The mat is highland heather 10cm x 14cm, and the paper is 9.5cm x 13.5cm. All the stamping is done using highland heather ink and for the card front I have used a stamp from the new annual catalogue coming out in June. The words are perfect for this occasion and it gives a sneak peek to one of the stamps. I have gone over the words in wink of stella for effect, and die cut using the layering squares framelits on the whisper white and highland heather mat. Retiring glittery enamel accents in coordinating colours provide the embellishment. Finally for the card front I stamped 2 of the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set and attached to the top left corner of the card front.

Inside the card I adhered more designer paper on both sides of the insert because this was for a special card. Both sentiments are from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set and are also perfect for the occasion and adhered to highland heather cardstock before attaching to the card insert. Again I used layering squares and layering rectangles to die cut the images and mat card.

Incredible Like You Two Step Stamping with Rectangle Framelits

March 15, 2019 Leave a Comment

Hi there, today I am sharing a card using the Incredible Like You photopolymer stamp set from the Occasions catalogue. I was inspired for this card by a version of this card is in the catalogue itself, and a demonstrator friend of mine Paula Reid. We made the card at our card c;lass last week and for this version I decided to use 2 bright new colours to make this card pop – mango melody and poppy parade.

The card base is whisper white thick 14 cm x 20 cm scored at 10 cm. You will also need whisper white cardstock – 1 piece 31/4″ x 4 3/4″ (card front); 1 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ (sentiment); 3 cm x 8 cm(sentiment backing); 13 cm x 10 cm (insert); 2″ x 2 1/2″ for flowers; poppy parade cardstock 13 cm x 10 cm, linen thread 16 cm. Inks for the poppy parade card are mango melody, poppy parade, early espresso and pear pizzazz.

To make the card stamp your images on the card front and insert. Stamp your two mango melody flowers and cut out by hand. Die cut your frames using the bigshot and two of the layering framelits for the outer frame and two for the sentiment frame.

For the rich razzleberry card above I have swapped rich razzleberry cardstock and ink for the poppy parade, and used shaded spruce instead of pear pizzazz.

Remember to adhere the linen thread underneath the outer frame and then attach the frame over the top.

This was card where everyone needed to follow instructions as it was tempting to use the wrong size frame or to attach it to the card base instead of the card front. The finished effect was great.

Flowering Desert – A Visual Symphony

March 13, 2019 Leave a Comment

Hi there, today’s share is the Flowering Desert stamp set which at first passed me by in the Occasions catalogue but it has definitely grown on me and in fact takes me back to my younger days. I don’t immediately think of the cactus as a plant that thrives in New Zealand, but when we were growing up my mother had a garden of succulents and she called it a visual symphony. It was her pride and joy, so today’s card is a tribute to her and to being a bit different.

I have cased this card from one made by Jacque Williams and the two things I like most about this card are it’s simplicity , and the designer nature of the succulent garden. The card base is black in a standard card size 29 cm x 10.5 cm scored at 14.5 cm.There are 2 pieces of whisper white cardstock 10 cm x 14 cm, one for the card front and one for the insert. Designer series paper 1.5″ by 10 cm, black bakers twine and pearls to embellish.

The paper I’ve used here is the ‘B’ side of one of the sheets from the Share What You Love paper, and it was just small strips that I couldn’t use for a project but here it fits perfectly. My ink colours were chosen to coordinate with the paper and so of course Berry Burst played a leading role for the flowers and the sentiment. The succulents themselves are stamped in granny apple green, pool party, mint macaron and shaded spruce. The trick when stamping is to position your paper on the whisper white card so you know where to stamp without getting ink on the paper.

We made this yesterday as one of the projects in our card class. Everyone in class made their own designer succulents and visual symphony and I think they just look luscious!

So if this set at first passed you by, take another look it makes some gorgeous cards for all sorts of occasions. I hope you’ve enjoyed it,
