This lovely card was so easy to make! I used the Stampin’ Up Flowering Tulips Die & Stamp Bundle with the Split Textures Card Die and the new 2022-2024 InColour products: Starry Night ink, paper and shimmer ribbon and Sweet Sorbet Ink. Other inks used include Real Red and Garden Green. Check out stampindogs.Stampin up.net.au or message me for more information.

Made two cards for a friend who requested “Steampunk Dachshund”. #TimHoltz products are amazing for this look. I had to include a video to show off the new TH #FoundryWax product. It’s amazing to add metallic accents (splatter in this case). I used TH #distressoxidespray for the background and stamped it with TH stamps from the CreativeMuse, Theories, Baroque, Faded Type and The Professor 2 collections. Dachshund is created with a Sizzix Bigz Die and a TH Gears Mini Embossing Folder.

Two new stamp sets and a stencil arrived today so I had to try them immediately of course! This card uses Dylusions shimmer inks, Tim Holtz Creative Muse stamp, versafine black ink, the Darkroom Door circles stencil, and paper from the new 2022-2024 InColour collection at Stampin’ Up.

Make a Wish. Another card created for this week’s #justaddinkchallenge to use three colours - mint macaron, blushing bride, and rich razzleberry. While the rich razzleberry is one of my favourite #StampinUp colours, I wouldn’t have thought to pair it with the other two but they are beautiful together. I only had the Stampin’ Write markers in mint macaron and blushing bride so I coloured a section of my SU Timeless Tiles stamp with the markers instead of the ink pad which allowed me to get all three colours on this intricate design. Perfect! I then cut it out with a deckel trimmer and coloured the edges with the blushing bride stampin’ write marker. The butterfly was stamped and die cut (using Tim Holtz Flutter collection) on SU Rich Razzleberry paper and heat embossed with Ranger Silver Tinsel embossing powder. The basketweave background was embossed with a Tim Holtz 3D emboss folder and coloured with a light blend of Gathered Twigs Distress Ink using SU’s amazing blending brush. I added a touch of sparkle to balance the composition with Ranger’s Stickles. I love how SU products coordinate with each other - like the matching ink pad, markers and paper, but also work seamlessly with other products I bought before I discovered Stampin’ Up.

Something very special made for my granddaughter. This used mostly Tim Holtz products - distress inks and distress oxides to paint the plywood as well as colour the flowers and leaves. I used Saltwater Taffy paint as the base colour for the plywood then used oxides and inks on paper strips which had the details printed on them and used Distress Collage Medium (matte) to adhere them. The basket weave strips are also done on white paper then embossed with the TH 3D Embossing folder and inked with Distress inks. The Heartfelt Creations wild roses were stamped, heat embossed and and die cut before being moulded. The other flowers are Tim Holtz Tiny Tattered Florals. A lot of time and effort went into this … and a lot of love. It was a relief to finally finish it and get it in the mail to America. I can’t wait to meet my granddaughter when I can travel there later this year! EDIT: Thanks to the friend who pointed out I got the year wrong on this! Nope, I’m not psychic. Hahaha. I will redo that strip with the correct date and replace it when I visit them in October. Oops. #Timholtz #stampindogs #Distress

Today’s make is a little special for me. After a 25 year break, I’ve started riding a horse again. While I spent much of my horse years doing dressage and eventing, I started as a child in California in a Western saddle and rode in a mounted drill team. Many many years later, and now living in Australia, I’m back in a western saddle thanks to a wonderful friend who is letting me ride his horse to get my confidence back. I’ve been making cards with a shaker wine bottle and had a few ‘wine bottles’ left from punching their shape out on the other cards. The #TimHoltz Baroque stamp set reminded me of the leather tooling on western saddles so between the riding, watching “Yellowstone” and “1883” and revisiting my childhood, I was inspired to create a Western theme card. .. the bottles all lined up on the ‘bar’. I included a shaker bottle with dried flowers and gold chips as a nod to the fact that I now live in the Goldfields Region in Victoria - Australia’s own Wild West in the height of the goldrush. So, to make a long story short, this card is inspired by my life coming full circle.
