Hi friends, Welcome to our New at SU Blog hop for August where we are featuring some of our suites in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue and Online Exclusives range. I’ve chosen the Hello, Irresistible suite which is part of our Online Exclusives range.
The Hello, Irresistible suite includes a stamp set and coordinating dies, Designer Series Paper and embellishments. The dies cut out several of the images in the Designer Series Paper, including flowers and leaves.
My card centred around that one flower which I heat embossed in Clear, stamping with Sweet Sorbet ink on Basic White Cardstock. I created 3 flowers which were watercoloured in Sweet Sorbet and Calypso Coral with a Water Painter. Then I cut them apart and layered each one to form a 3D flower.
I followed the sketch at TGIF Challenges and used some of the beautiful DSP for the top section of my card. I die cut the border also from DSP and blended Sweet Sorbet ink along the bottom edge.
Several leaves were die cut from the DSP and from Basic White Cardstock to fill out the flower.
For the banner, I die cut Soft Sea Foam Cardstock with the detailed die from the Irresistible Blooms dies. Then I adhered this to a piece of Kraft Notecard which I finished off by die cutting with the banner from the Nested Essentials Dies.
Thank you for stopping by to see my project. I hope you found it ‘irresistible’ and if you haven’t got this suite will consider adding it to your next order.
Next on our hop is my friend Angie McKenzie and I can’t wait to see her beautiful project with the Inked Botanicals suite. Follow our hop through for lots of suite inspiration and please leave a comment as we love hearing from you.

Hello friends, Hope your week is going well and even better now that we are halfway through the week. For Colour Palette #19 I’ve got a pretty floral card for you using the Irrisistible Blooms Bundle.
I’ve used the sketch at Just Add Ink Challenges #662 as the base for my card. For the centre panel I’ve used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Sereies Paper and on top of this I added some flowers and leaves. Two strips of Basic White Cardstock embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder were added for the side panels.
The flowers were stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink and then coloured in with Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the leaves in Old Olive ink and coloured them in with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and an Old Olive Watercolour Pencil.
I added a border along the bottom of the sentiment, which was fussy cut from Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper. The black contrasts and stands out against the purple tones of the flowers.

Happy Saturday friends. It’s a bit of of blustery day here in Melbourne but the sun is shining which makes it so much nicer.
Today, I’m featuring the Irresistible Blooms suite which is part of our Online Exclusives range. This suite includes a stamp and die bundle as well as some beautiful Designer Series Paper.
For the background, the Pretty Peacock on the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper coordinated well with the Hello, Irresistible Designer Seriees Paper. The flower was cut out from the paper itself (no colouring required!).
I added some sparkly detail with the Dry Brushed Metallic Paper. Die cutting this with the lined detail die provided a pretty accent against the flower.

Today my card has been inspired by Colour Palette #13. I wondered what I had got myself into when I started to create with these colours as 3 of them were blue/purple tones. Some Natural Tone Stampin’ Blends really bring this card together and I love how it turned out.
For the focal point I used the Nested Essentials dies which leant itself to creating a slimline card. The flower from the Irresistible Blooms bundle was stamped on Basic White and coloured in with Calypso Coral and Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends. I die cut 3 flowers from Calypso Coral Cardstock and layered all the flowers together.
The leaves were die cut from Basic White Cardstock and coloured with a range of Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends.
To incorporate the Highland Heather I used the Foursquare Mask to create a background on the Nested Essentials Dies. Some additional leaves were stamped in Starry Sky and added to my floral arrangement.
The matte layer of Orchid Oasis Cardstock was run through the embossing folder twice which enabled me to mboss the entire length. This added a lovely texture to a plain background.
You can create this card at home with the products I’ve listed below. If you live in Australia these products can be found in my Online store or contact me to place an order.

Welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday blog hop. This month we celebrate the start of our 4th year as a group and I want to thank Angie Mckenzie who puts in so much effort to organising everything and keeping us running smoothly. I love this group and am grateful to be part of such a beautiful community.
This month our theme is April Showers bring May flowers. Over in Melbourne we’re in Autumn so there are showers but not many flowers and it’s getting a little bit chilly.
We were given a double challenge to create something that reminds us of spring along with a technique. Didn’t matter that spring is gone, I still chose some spring colours and have followed the sketch at Sunday Stamps for my creation.
I started off by creating the 3 centre panels using the Emboss Resist technique.
EMBOSS RESIST PANEL
Using the Artistic Mix Decorative Mask, add Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana ink randomly with a Blending Brush. Use Lighter tones.
Stamp the 2 different leaves with Versamark ink over the entire panel
Add clear embossing powder
Melt embossing powder with Heat Tool
With Blending Brush, go over the entire panel in the same colours. Apply colours a little bit darker over embossed leaves.
Wipe back colour from embossed leaves with a paper wipe.
I used the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies to die cut the 3 panels and then matte it onto Kraft Cardstock.
The card base was covered with a layer of Vellum with a subtle leafy pattern. On this, I added the 3 small emboss resist panels which had been layered onto a long die cut piece from the Irresistible Blooms dies. This was then added to an embossed panel matte with the Naturally Gilded Designer Series Paper. For the strip of Textured Shimmer Paper, I used the Balmy Blue sheet and blended Coastal Cabana over it to coordinate with my colours.
The flower was stamped twice, fussy cut and layered with some heat embossed leaves and smaller Early Espresso Leaves die cut using the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies.
I had to include my favourite Linen Thread and some simple pearls to complete this spring blooms card.
