WEDNESDAY’S WOW 168 – A HAPPY ACCIDENT WITH STAZON!

I made this card recently. It resulted from a Happy Accident. I thought I would show you for our Wednesday’s WOW #168.

This is one of the flowers from the Thankful Garden Stamp Set. You could use any image though.

I was using it with Stazon and after I had stamped I wiped over the stamp with Stazon Cleaner and stamped it on scrap paper. It made the lines bleed but it looked cool. So I tried it again and this time I stamped on White card resulting in this effect giving it a washed out look.

I have tried it a few times since to replicate it. The results are different all the time. Some tips – Wipe over the stamp with the Stazon Cleaner. Stamp it off on to scrap paper very lightly first. Press firmly on to your card. Let it dry completely before finishing the card.

Be sure to clean your stamp carefully after you have stamped it.

Give it a go and see what you come up with.

If you would like other helpful tips click on the tag – Wednesday’s WOW! and find them.

PRETTY FLORALS “LEFTOVER” CARD

Well that sounds exciting doesn’t it?? A Leftovers Card. It can be good to use those little Leftover bits though.

I was making a card for someone on the weekend. It just wasn’t working for them I thought. I put that idea aside and pulled out some “leftover” bits to get a card together for my card stash. (I will get back to the special card later). So, this card came together with mostly “leftovers”.

I had a large flower and the edging and also a leaf from a previous project that I didn’t use. I just diecut some extra leaves and added it to the flower. I added some ink to highlight the flower. These were with the Pretty Florals Dies.

I had a piece of white card with a sentiment stamped already so cut it down to fit. This sentiment is from the Notes and Totes Bundle. I already had the embossed white with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder so I added strips on each side of the paper.

Here is the card.

So leftovers can be handy sometimes so pull them out and have fun creating with them.

STAMPIN’ UP! NATURAL BOTANICALS IN SOFT SEA FOAM

This was the first time I have played with the Stampin’ Up! Natural Botanicals Stamp Set. I received this set months ago. It was a bonus pick during the second month of Sale-A-Bration. So it was so good to get it for Free!

This is a reverse stamp set. Which means you can stamp with either side. There is the detailed image then flip the stamp over. Some of the solid images will “fill” in the detail. Keep in mind though that some stamps when reversed will stamp the opposite way. But you can use them on their own.

Here we have the card in Soft Sea Foam. I love this soft green colour.

The Soft Sea Foam card mat was embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.

Having the heat embossed sentiment on black gives the card a POP. The words are from the Simply Said Stamp Set.

This is the Stamp Set.

If you are in Australia and would like this set or any other Stampin’ Up! Products I would love to help you. You can head to my store -> HERE Or Contact me Directly.

A BEACHY CARD WITH THE NOTES AND TOTES BUNDLE ~

I have recently got the Notes and Totes Bundle. I have seen so many cute cards with this one. So I had a play this week.

This was one of the first cards I made with it. I will say it took a little bit to see how the little tote worked. And when I came to make a little tote without a card I was uncertain with that. But that one is for another day and I will share some tips.

For now this cute card. It gives you those Beach Day Vibes.

The actual Tote is created with the Nests of Winter Paper. (Did you know that was still current??). The pattern works well for a Tote.

You then Diecut the little pieces – the straps and handles and base for the Tote, then you have the “cream tube” and the water bottle. Then assembling the sunglasses. I had a couple of attempts working out those. (That will be for another day too).

For the “sand” I tore a strip of Crumb Cake card then stamped the “dotted” stamp over it.

This is the Notes and Totes Bundle.

You can see it more Online -> HERE.

If you would like to order and you are in Australia I would love to help you get this or any other products for your crafting. I send out a little special surprise as a Thank You.

2025-2027 IN COLOR COMPARISONS + FREE CHART~

The new In Colors are out now. You might have seen them. If not Welcome to the 2025-2027 In Colors.

The In Colors are quite a mix of tones this year I will say. You have the bright Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger. Also the returning Strawberry Slush. Then the more neutral colours of Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

What is your favourite?

I have used Secret Sea a bit already. It’s not so blue as Night of Navy and not dark and heavy as Black. It seems to work well with many colours.

Each year I like to do a Comparison with other Stampin’ Up! Colours.

They are all comparing to current colours except for including Mint Macaron.

Would you like to have a PDF version of this yourself? I am gifting you all this so you can refer back to it often.

You can head -> HERE to Download one yourself.

Cloud Cover Update –

The Cloud Cover Ink Pad has had some issues with the colour being stable. Since Stampin’ Up! pride themselves in quality this has been unacceptable despite all the workings around. As a result Stampin’ Up! have decided to remove the Cloud Cover Ink Pad. The colour will still be available in Cardstock, Markers and Ink Refill. If you wish to still have an Ink Pad perhaps get a Mini Ink Spot and use the refill to create your own. I have heard some demonstrators ink up the Secret Sea and stamp it off before stamping to create a very close match.

THE 2025 MINI CATALOGUE IS NOW OUT ALONG WITH SALE-A-BRATION!

Today the 2025 Mini Catalogue begins.  

Lots of gorgeous products to inspire you.  If you have already received your catalogues you would have checked it all out now.  I wanted to let you know some of my favourites. 

Along with the new Catalogue it’s Sale-A-Bration time. That’s where YOU get the bonus gifts.  

So, here’s just some of my favourites.

I have to say it was hard to narrow it down to my 3 Favourites with lots of gorgeous papers and the great Stamps and Dies.  You might have other favourites. 

1. GEOMETRIC SHAPES

What’s striking me in this catalogue is the different Geometric shapes in some of the die sets.  They take your project to another level.  

LINKED TOGETHER BUNDLE

I think it is that diamond shape die which is a great addition to your creating – and it has a stitched edge! There is the additional masks in the bundle as well which are great for blending and layering your ink colours.

They can be ordered as a bundle or separately. Bundle is $103.50.  Dies on their own are $60.  Masks $23.
See the Bundle -> HERE.

MEMORABLE BLOOMS BUNDLE

Once again I’m liking those dies. Layer the diecut flower shape on your projects or diecut them with the geometric shape.  Lots of variations with this one. And did I say Stitched edge with this one… Bundle is $98.
See the Bundle -> HERE. 

2. FLORAL AND GINGHAM VELLUM

There are always so many lovely papers but the Single Sided Printed Vellum is very soft and gorgeous.  6 Sheets of 12″x12″ $17.50. 
See it more -> HERE. 

3. SOFT WAVES EMBOSSING FOLDER

The wavy pattern adds great depth and texture to your projects. $19.25.  This folder measures 15.2 cm x 15.9 cm
See it -> HERE. 



There is so much more I love too.  Why not see what you would love.

A TROPICAL CORNER IN BLOOM CARD!

I’m feeling tropical at the moment. Maybe it’s the hot weather we are having here in Australia. So this card turned out a little tropical I think. Inspired by the Frangipanni flowers I coloured the flowers in one of the Corner In Bloom Stamps.

The Corner in Bloom Stamp Set is one available for Sale-A-Bration starting on January 7th. I will share more about this in a later post.

The flowers were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The paper is also available as a Sale-A-Bration choice. It is the Toadstool Gardens Paper. I love the bright, fun colours in this pack. So be sure to check back with more on this soon.

Not long to go now until Sale-A-Bration – and the new Mini Catalogue. Ooh! Exciting new products.
