Hi,
Welcome to my blog Stamping Flair. I’m a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia and I’m hopping with my friends from the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop today. We are highlighting products from the Mini Holiday Catalogue and with such a variety of products on offer, I’m sure you are going to be inspired by the variety of projects and styles that will be displayed.
I have used the Wonder of the Season Memories & More Card Pack with the coordinating DSP on my set of cards. I tend to fussy cut my Memories & More cards and alter them to create more options. For this first card, I fussy cut this lovely large sentiment and also cut apart the holly. I went around the leaves with the brush tip of my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to take away the stark white edge. The way to do this is to hold the image at an angle and do the same with the marker so you are just painting the edges. I also used the marker to colour in the tail of the ‘Y’ in Merry.
I added a flourish, which I cut apart, from the Christmas Layers Dies. This was cut out from one of the specialty cards. Then I added the holly leaves on top with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
I felt this was quite a regal card and I wanted to make it more ‘homely’. Adding some torn DSP softened the look of it, giving it more warmth.
This next card is so quick to make. I just trimmed one of the larger cards down and layered it on a Basic Black Matte. I wrapped some of the beautiful gold cord from the Wonder of the Season Ribbon combo around it. Then I added some Wonderful gems which come in a pack of Red and Gold. They’ve got a lovely, sparkly look to them and the gold one especially, looks like it is clear with gold fleck inside it.
My last card in this set has another lovely banner sentiment fussy cut and layered on DSP. The small tag banner uses the die cut from the Tasteful Labels dies. I added reindeer from the sticker sheet in the Memories & More card pack, mounting it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
So what did you notice that was common in all these cards – apart from product? There was not one bit of stamping! Sometimes it just works out that way. Priced at $21, these Memories & More cards give you some much scope for creativity. I hope I have inspired you to create with The Wonder of the Season Memories & More Card pack. Use it with products from the Wonder of the Season Suite or mix it up with any of our other beautiful products and have fun. Please leave a comment for me with your thoughts on these cards.

The Flowers for Every Season Suite is bright, cheerful and really captured my attention as I opened the Annual Cataogue. From Pages 10-13 you will see all the products that are in the suite in a range of colours. I always love the Memories & More Card packs and the Flowers for Every Season pack is so pretty. The best part about is that you get all 5 new In-Colours in the colour palette so it’s a really good taster of our new colours.
I used the 1½” punch to create the corners on the card in the centre which coordinates with the printed corners of the card.
I have added some Designer Series Paper from the In Good Taste pack which, I reckon, coordinates with every card – ok not EVERY card – but nearly every card. With so many textures and a mix of colours, you can really maximize it’s uses.
These Memories & More cards are great for quick & easy projects and scrapbooking. They also coordinate well with a pack of our new In-Colour Designer Series Paper for even more options.

Sunshine and Tropical Greetings on a warm and sunny Melbourne day!
Hope you are having a happy weekend whatever you may be doing. I know there are times I just want to relax and at other times I feel so accomplished when I get lots done on the weekend. This one’s a working weekend as I prepare for a destash market next weekend. So I am getting organized, decluttering and oh, it feels good.
I’ve got another card with the Tropical Oasis bundle and the Memories & More card pack that is part of the Tropical Oasis Suite. The larger cards are a bit too big for our card bases so I just cut them down to 9.9cm x 14.2cm. The left over is great for decorating the inside of your card.
The flowers were stamped in Saddle Brown ink on Fluid 100 watercolour cardstock. Then I coloured them with Real Red and Daffodil Delight Watercolour pencils. For the leaves I used Old Olive and a touch of Daffodil Delight.
The sentiment is from one of the sticker sheets in the Memories & More card pack and I mounted it with Dimensionals onto the Scallop circle.
All products I’ve used for this card are listed below. The Sale-A-Bration party is still on. So you can get a freebie for every $90 you spend in my Online Store. It’s a great time to stock up on your staples such as cardstock and adhesives as well. and
Have a lovey day

Hi Friends,
Happy middle of the week! Wednesdays are great days aren’t they? Second half of the week means the weekend looms near. It’s extra nice because I get Wednesdays off from my regular job in a school so more time to craft.
Today I’m thrilled to be part of the Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop. I am a cardmaker most of the time and I jumped at the opportunity to participate in this blog hop as it just stretches my creativity and made me think big (scrapbook page size)!
I am a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator from a small coastal town of Blind Bight in the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The beach is a short 5 minute walk from our home and it’s a lovely quiet area away from the busy suburbs. So when I found out the theme for this month’s hop was ‘Summer’ my first thought was Coastal Cabana for the beach and that’s how my page unfolded.
The next product that I really wanted to incorporate was the striped So Saffron cardstock from the Magnolia Lane Memories & More card pack. The yellow signifying sunshine and bright days.
Summer evoked memories of my childhood in Sri Lanka with palm trees and bright flowers. The Tropical Chic stamp set had the perfect images for this.
The flowers have been stamped in Memento ink on Shimmery White cardstock. Then I sprinkled Pigment Sprinkles on a clear stamping block and used an aqua painter to colour them in. The effect is so pretty and the colours are intense. A little goes a long way. The sentiments are also from the Memories & More card pack and I’ve layered them to create depth and interest.
I’m so glad I have had this opportunity to participate today as it’s been a whole lot of fun. Make sure you stop by all the participating blogs and check out the fun ways everyone has interpreted Summer. Please click on the Next button to see what Cindy has created.

This beautiful card has been created using products from the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack. You will find this on Page 171 of your Annual Catalogue. This pack includes 50 double sided cards in different sizes, vellum specialty cards and 4 sticker sheets.
This is a very unusual card for me in that it involved zero stamping.
I started by die cutting the bottom border of my card base with that beautiful border die. I ran it through a couple of times to make sure it cut through the front and back of the card. Then I cut the So Saffron striped card to fit my card base and die cut the bottom of that so it layered on top. The ribbon was added with Tear & Tape adhesive and then glued to the base.
I die cut one of the Stitched Rectangles and mounted the circles on top using liquid glue. The circles have been punched from another 2 cards that came in this pack. I offset them to give it interest and added the magnolia sticker with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment sticker was inserted under the magnolia and really stands out against the Basic Black die cut.
Further detail was added to the ribbon by tying a bow and securing with a glue dot. The pennant and leaves are also part of the stickers that come in the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack.
These card packs are great to use for your scrapbooking pages as well as for card making. Team it with the Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More Cards & Envelopes for some quick and beautiful card making.
