Stampin' Up!

5 MINUTES, 5 DAYS, 5 WAYS WITH THE OPULENT OASIS BUNDLE – DAY 5

Last day of this Mini Series. 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.

See some other ways to stamp with the stamps and dies in this set.

This is the card I created.

You can make your own background paper. You could use different colours for the stamps and dies or as I have using one colour. I chose Smoky Slate as a subtle background.

The flower was stamped in Strawberry Slush and the leaves in Granny Apple Green. The smaller diecut leaves were in Old Olive.

Thanks for following along with this mini Series. Let me know what you think? Would you like to see more like this?

If you missed them head back to the past posts or Head to my Youtube channel and you can find them there.

5 MINUTES, 5 DAYS, 5 WAYS WITH THE OPULENT OASIS BUNDLE – DAY 4

Day 4 of our series – 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.

Have you seen the past videos in this series yet? You can head back to the recent posts if you missed them or would like a refresh.

In Day 4 of these videos let’s see what else you can create with this bundle using just the stamps and dies.

These are the cards I shared in the video.

Hydrangea Hue and Lemon Lime Twist have been a favourite combination recently.

Here is another simple card with these colours and using the Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty Paper.

The Opulent Oasis Bundle is available in the May-August Catalogue. The Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty is available as May Product of the Month.

Last Day tomorrow. Be sure to check back in. Let me know what you think of this series too. Would you like to see other Bitesize video series on a bundle or technique?

5 MINUTES, 5 DAYS, 5 WAYS WITH THE OPULENT OASIS BUNDLE – DAY 3

Day 3 of our series – 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.

These are small Bitesize videos showing how you can use the Stampin’ Up! Opulent Oasis Bundle. Day 1 looked at using the Impressions Mat with the Dies to get that extra puffiness. Then Day 2 looked at different ways of colouring the embossed/diecut images.

Day 3 I share another way of colouring with the Opulent Oasis Flower. It could be my favourite way. Be sure to check that out. If you don’t have this bundle I’m sure this could easily work with some of your other diecut flowers. Or even an embossed image. Try it out and see.

Here is the Video for Day 3.

Do you want to see more of the card.

The white outlined flower just POPS in Black. Especially against the Strawberry Slush colour. This is easy to create using the White Gel Pen. I embossed the Strawberry Slush card with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder.

I love the effect of the diecut flower but there is lovely stamped images in the set too. See how to create with these in the next 2 videos.

Happy Crafting.

5 MINUTES, 5 DAYS, 5 WAYS WITH THE OPULENT OASIS BUNDLE – DAY 2 

Day 2 of our series – 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.

The first video I showed using the Impressions Mat. If you missed that head back a post. This video I showed some different ways of colouring the embossed/diecut flowers.

Hope you get to try these cards out. But if you don’t have the Opulent Oasis Bundle see what you have similar.

Try highlighting the flowers and leaves with Ink and a Dauber.

These 2 above used the Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty Paper.

Or add some extra colour using Inks and Daubers. Do you think this looks like a Frangipanni Flower?

This one uses the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper.

See another way of colouring in the next video.

5 MINUTES, 5 DAYS, 5 WAYS WITH THE OPULENT OASIS BUNDLE – DAY 1

I’m bringing you a new series this week. 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle. Small bitesize videos to help inspire you when creating with this bundle. But if you don’t have this bundle you might just be able to create these with other stamps/dies you have.

In this video I show you how to use the new Impressions Mat. The mat helps give a little more “puffiness” to the Impressions Dies.

Here is the video for you to follow along.

These are the cards I showed how to make.

Which colour do you like – the Crisp Canteloupe or the Strawberry Slush?

Be sure to check back with the other videos this week as I share more with this Bundle.

Happy Crafting,

DIAGONAL GATEFOLD CARD + A VIDEO

This card might look complicated but it’s really not. It’s called a Diagonal Gatefold Card. You can create it with the card and paper you like. For this one I have used the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper.

You open it out. This is the inside. I love the angled look.

Here is another one using the same paper pack, but just doing that that can change it up a lot by using different colours.

It really is easy and I can show you. I share the measurements in Metric and Inches for you.

Follow along with the Video -> HERE.

Hope you get to try one yourself.

The Painted Illusions Paper is this month’s Product of the Month.

Happy Crafting,

FLIP IT FUN FOLD CARD + VIDEO

Today’s video is a Flip It card. I don’t know what it’s actual name is but that’s what I call it. I’m going to show you how.

This is the card.

The front panel stands up when you Flip It.

Then when it lays flat.

It is a little larger than a standard card so you may need to make an envelope to fit or give it directly to your special person. You may want to explain how it flips too so they can see the fun of it (and give you a WOW!)

I used the cute Festive Friends Stamps and Dies. You can create this for any occasion whether it is Christmas or Birthday or some other special event.

Here is the video to create your own Or head straight to my Youtube.

Hope you get to make one. As always I will send the writtent tutorial to my Newsletter Subscribers next week. I send out a Tutorial each week. If you would like to receive my Tutorials then you can subscribe to them. The Tab is on the Right Hand Side Bar on my blog.

Happy Crafting,

DISTRESSED SUNFLOWER EMBOSSING FOLDER CARD ~

I have been meaning to show some more cards with the Sunflower Embossing Folder. I shared a number of the cards in my recent video but it might be good to see them close up.

This one is more a distressed looking card.

I embossed with the folder on a piece of the “wood” look pattern from the Nests of Winter Paper pack. You could use any similar print.

Then you can add your colouring. This one I used the Ink Pads and Blending Brushes then assembled it on the card base with a piece of Old Olive card off-set a little. I think curling up the edges of the embossed piece might have given a more distressed look.

I have had so much fun with this Embossing Folder. I hope to get back to you again soon with some more card projects soon.

If you missed it you can see the video of 5+ Ways with the Sunflower Embossing Folder -> HERE.

Happy Crafting,

FOLD FLAT CARD FOR THIS WEEK’S VIDEO ~

It’s a Fold Flat Card for this week’s video. It’s an easy one to create. I have used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies but you can decorate it as you like.

This is the card.

It can fold flat to post out. It will be a little bulky so check your postage.

You could even add a little chocolate or simlar in to the box part at the front when you give it directly to someone.

Don’t forget the inside.

You can watch along with the video below. If this doesn’t show in the post head to my Youtube channel.

See how you can decorate it if you don’t have the Beautiful Butterflies.
