Covid-19 Giveback

Stampin’ Up! is committed to making a difference in our global communities and caring about people first. As part of our Making a Difference program we are offering a product giveback opportunity to support organisations that are helping COVID-19 frontline responders and communities vulnerable to the pandemic.

You can purchase the Share Sunshine PDF Download and we will donate 100% of the proceeds to COVID-19 efforts.

The Share Sunshine PDF Download is a digital stamp set that’s packed with both light-hearted and heartfelt sentiments and imagery relevant to the unique COVID-19 and social distancing situation we’re currently experiencing–including many ideas that came from demonstrators and customers! You can use the download in your cardmaking and papercrafting projects. Simply print the imagery on cardstock and cut it out using our Paper Trimmer, punches, or dies. Since we are physically distanced from each other, now is a perfect time to share sunshine with our friends and family by sending cards!

Ornate Razzleberry

Rich Razzleberry is one of my all-time favourite colours from Stampin’ Up, so I just had to use it with my new goodies from the ‘Ornate Garden’ suite.  The Ornate Borders dies are very cool! The one I’ve used on these cards also has a matching edge die to cut the other side of the flowers. I decided I wanted the flowers on the edge of a bigger piece of card stock for these cards.  

Because the flowers are the focal point, the stamping is minimal.  I’ve heat embossed the larger sentiment with Silver embossing powder (it’s still magical watching it melt!) and stamped the smaller sentiment with Rich Razzleberry ink.   

If these cards have inspired you to craft, the list of products I used is below.  Clicking on these will take you directly to my online store 😊

Owen is 50!

With the current situation of 'staying at home' I've been trying to get in a little more crafting time, but with everyone else at home too, it has been easier said than done!  However, I have April birthday cards that I wanted to make and for one of my friends, this year is a special milestone! Birthdays are being celebrated in different ways due to being in lockdown here in New Zealand, and so I really wanted to make this card special for my friend.

Many of the stamp sets I have suited my friend Owen, so I made the card using an 'accordion fold', then I could use as many images and sentiments as possible!! This means the product list at the end of the post does look a little daunting! 

Yes, there are 50 glasses of wine on the end panel!!

I have also used some retired products: the “Large Numbers” dies and the “Half Full” and “Rise & Shine” [Sale-A-Bration] stamp sets.

I wanted the fifty to really shine, so I added a layer of shimmery crystal effects.
