MORE TEAM SHOEBOX SWAPS CARDS!

I mentioned in a previous post about our Team Shoebox Swap.  I thought I would share the other cards today with you.  It was just a small group this time so just a few cards.

Of course I changed them up a little from the original – because I could. 🙂

This one from Silvia is a card clip.  It is using the Parisian Beauty Bundle.  The Rococo Rose card was cut with the Stitched Rectangles Die and then the “script” stamp was stamped several times over it.  The Eiffel Tower was diecut from Gold Foil.  It’s hard to tell but there is some Wink of Stella over the Rococo Rose card and some clear heart embellishments.  The large noteclip had some Designer Series Paper wrapped around the clip.

This next one from Lynne was using the Painted Poppies bundle.  The Blackberry Bliss card was embossed with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder.  I angled the embossed card and the piece of Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper just to be different. The stamped poppy was stamped in Blackberry Bliss and cut with the die.  Using the Aquapainter spread over the ink a little to colour the poppy.

This next one from Vanessa is using the Honey Bee Bundle.  I am still not sure of this bundle but I liked making this card.  The one cool thing with this bundle is the bees in the Detailed Bee Dies cuts some of the bees in the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration.  So clever that Stampin’ Up! does this.

The honeycomb die was cut from the Bermuda Bay to use the small hexagons on the piece of Designer Series paper.  Also a fit with the dies!  I didn’t want to waste the honeycomb so I added that to my card.

The bees were coloured with the dauber and inkpads.  As the bees were embossed they resist the ink so you have coloured centres.  The large black bee at the top is stamped in black and diecut with the die.

I will post my card that I shared for the swap in another post coming up soon as I will give you some more details on it. Stay tuned for that.

TIP: Purchase any of these bundles.  They are approximately $75, add some card and ink to reach  your $90 so you can add one of the Sale-A-Bration choices.  Great with the Honey Bee Bundle as you could choose the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper.  Check them all out in store -> HERE.

Have a great day,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – PEACEFUL POPPIES SUITE!

We are looking at the Peaceful Poppies Suite today for our Sunday Suites.  Since I have been sharing a little recently with the Poppies Suite and this weekend I have had a really fun Poppies class (more on that later), I thought it was a good time to share this suite.

The Peaceful Poppies Suite is an absolutely gorgeous one.  There are lots of different products in this suite with not just one, but TWO stamp and die bundles.

Let me tell you about them.

Below is the full Peaceful Poppies Suite Bundle.  All these products are available all together as one bundle ($238AUD), or you can buy them individually.

The Peaceful Poppies Suite Bundle includes:

* Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set (10% off)
* Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set (10% off)
* Painted Labels Dies (10% off)
* Poppy Moments Dies (10% off)
* Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper
* Peaceful Poppies Sequins
* Whisper White 1/4″ (6.4 mm) Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon
* Peaceful Poppies Elements

Product colours in this suite are: Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Flirty Flamingo, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Rich Razzleberry.

Below is the Painted Poppies Bundle.  You have the Painted Poppies stamp set and the Painted Labels Dies.  The dies have 2 great labels shapes for any sentiments.  The flower shape will cut the full flower shape, and you have the smaller leaf die for the smaller leaf in the set.

I love the swirly shape.  It’s a great one for backing your sentiments.

The second Bundle available in this suite is the Peaceful Moments Bundle which includes the stamp set and the Poppy Moments Dies.

These dies have the 2 different flower shapes with their outline which are great for layering together.  It also has 2 different leaf shapes to layer together and a couple of little flower centres.  It has a really fun background die which I will tell you more about later.

This Painted Poppies Designer Series Paper is GORGEOUS!!  Truly beautiful prints and such fun, rich colours.  These were very popular in class this weekend.  You don’t need much more on your cards when you use this paper.

The Peaceful Poppies Elements ($11.25) are a bit of a sleeper in the catalogue.  I don’t think the catalogue shows them too well.

The pack contains:

8 sheets total
* 2 sheets black die-cut elements with black foil prints: labels, banners, borders
* 2 sheets white thick cardstock die cuts with coloured prints: poppies
* 2 sheets vellum die cuts with white prints: poppies and leaves
* 2 sheets watercolour paper die cuts with clear UV prints for watercolouring: poppies and leaves

With the Printed diecut sheets you can simply pop them off the sheet and add them to your project.

On the watercolour paper sheets, the poppies and the leaves are embossed. You can give a light wash over the images with your ink and Aquapainter to give a little colour.  The images will resist the wash.  It looks cool.

What about the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon shown below!  It is very light, soft ribbon.  AND don’t just leave it white.  You can easily add colour to this ribbon by running over it with the Stampin’ Blends to create a colour to match your project you are creating.

Now for some samples for you courtesy of Stampin’ Up!

These cards below show the background die.  It is very effective.  For the card on the bottom right, the die was run through acetate or very thick card.  This creates a mask. Place this on to your card and then lightly rub over it with the Texture Paste.

Why not fancy up a journal by creating the layered flowers.

Lots of inspirational projects on this hanger.  What one is your favourite?

So what do you think of the Peaceful Poppies Suite?  Get the whole suite or just one or 2 products within the suite. Either way you won’t be disappointed.

Thank You,

Hope your Sunday is great,

Jenny
