Cardmaking gives us opportunities to create cards for all kinds of occasions. Many times these are happy but there are some heartbreaking and sad moments which a card lets someone know they are being thought of.
I made this card for a friend whose much-loved fur companion had crossed the rainbow bridge. I coloured in the Altogether Designer Series Paper for the rainbow. The gingham ribbon completes this card tying in the soft colours together.

Which of the Stampin’ Up! greens collection is your favourite? So many choices. My favourites are Just Jade and Soft Succulent which are 2 of our In-Colours.
I created this card to showcase green. To create the beautiful background, I used the Wild Roses stamp set with the Stamparatus which is our stamp positioning tool. I inked up the entire stamp in Just Jade and stamped. Then I added extra shading with Garden Green and Shaded Spruce to restamp and create the variation in colour.

Got to love Sale-A-Bration where we can get free products. This card uses 3 of our freebies – Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper, Driving by and Special Moments Stamp Sets.
I stamped the combi on Basic White Cardstock and on the Designer Series Paper. Then I fussy cut the DSP and glued it on top the stamped image which is the paper-pieced part. I love that large panel brimming with flowers down the side.

Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop where we are layering up this month. In Melbourne, it’s getting to that time of the year where we are slowly adding layers to our clothing. I’m hanging onto our fine weather with my project!
We are a group of crafters who love Stampin’ Up! and we hop every 2nd Wednesday of the month sharing inspiration from all parts of the world so sit back and enjoy your all the beautiful projects you will be treated to.
For my card I used the Quiet Meadow Bundle which is currently on sale. Usually $92.50, for the entire month of March you can get this for $82.25. We have 13 bundles on sale at 20% off and our Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is reduced by 20% too. If you order $90 of product by 16th March, you will also qualify for a Sale-A-Bration freebie.
The initial idea for my project was a tag so I started off by die cutting 2 tags which were the same size from So Saffron and New Horizons Designer Series Paper. The So Saffron tag was distressed using the edge of my Paper Snips. Then I scrunched it up completely into a ball and unfolded it. Using a sponge dauber I added Cinnamon Cider ink along the crease lines and the edges of both tags.
The flowers were die cut from Basic White cardstock and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I combined Just Jade and Granny Apple Green for my stems to layer colours. The tag on top was curved with a bone folder for a more aged look with Stampin’ Dimensionals layered 3-up in the centre to hold it’s shape.
That fence from the On the Horizon Dies is just my style and I love what it adds to this scene.
I stamped the wording image in Pear Pizzazz on the White ribbon which subtly blends the ribbon to the card. This ribbon has been layered onto the Silver Mesh ribbon which I coloured with the Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend for a coordinated look.
With a fully-loaded tag I kept my card base to clean white with the background embossed with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder.
Thank you for visiting me in Melbourne today and I hope you enjoy your trip around the world. Next on our hop is the amazingly creative Cheryll Miller.

As soon as I saw the theme for Global Design Project #GDP331 which is Dots & Circles I immediately thought of creating a Bokeh background for my card.
Bokeh is a fun technique which mimics the look of the bokeh effect in photography. See below for instructions how to create this look. With my chosen colours, the Catching Butterflies stamp set just seemed to fit. You can get this stamp set free with a $90 order during Sale-A-Bration.
Some die cut circles were layered for this cute image. I added some Wink of Stella for the girl’s dress to give it some shimmer and used our brand new Skin Tone Stampin’ Blends to colour her skin and hair. Some Brushed Brass Butterflies were added to complete this cute card.
BOKEH TECHNIQUE
Using a blending brush, add your chosen colours onto Basic White Cardstock
Take a piece of Window Sheet (acetate) which is large enough to cover the card front to create a template. Die cut lots of circles in varying sizes from this piece. (I used a few retired punches as well to create the smaller circles)
With a Blending Brush, add Craft ink through the circles. Move the template around so that the circles overlap, with more smaller ones added on top. Use a heat tool to dry, if necessary, between layers.
This creates the fun look and you can wash and use your template again for another project.
