Sweet Soirée One Pack Wonder

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Welcome, I hope you are having a fabulous day. Today, I am sharing the final group of cards made using the Free SAB Sweet Soirée Memories & More Card Pack.

Card Designs #17 - 23

Design # 17

 

This card uses some retired DSP - substitute or a simple Old Olive Ink splash should suffice.  I have simply layered the small “Hello” Memories & More Card over the DSP, then using the stitched shaped Framelits I have cut the hearts from a Small card and layered it on top. Add some bling and it’s done.

Design #18

 

Again, using up some retired DSP I have layered the card front with striped Old Olive DSP, adhered the Small colourful Memories & More Card in the centre. Then I’ve added Old Olive Card which was heat embossed in white using the best wishes sentiment - stamped three times.

 

Design #19

Another simple one layer Card which you can omit the stitching from. This is simply a large Memories & More Card Cut down to fit the card base.

Design #20

 

Again, simply a large Memories & More Card with some stitching which can be omitted. I left the sentiments off these two as I would like the opportunity to add one at a later date eg thanks, congrats etc 

Design #21

I am going to admit, I really didn’t like theses cards, they were all in a pile according to colours and were left till last.  However, when I was mucking around with different orientations I stumbled across this design and found it appealing.  I layered the top card with Whisper White before attaching it on an angle over the other Small Memories & More Card with grid lines.  Adhere layers to the large card which was attached to the card base with Tombow. The sentiment from Cake Soirée was stamped in Black Archival Ink and cut using a circle from the Stiched Shapes Framelits. To finish it off I added a flower and leaves inked in Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist.

Design #22

Only one of these were made as the other portions of the Memories & More Cards were used on previous designs. So basically this card and the next are one offs. 

The card front has been embossed with the Hexagons Folder and attached to card base. I have layered Berry Burst Card begins the M&M Card pieces and attached to card front with dimensionals. The sentiment was white heat embossed on Berry Burst Card and cut apart to be attached to card. To finish off the card, some White Bakers Twine was wrapped around the card front and a bow attached.

Design #23

This is the only card that uses a coloured card base -  Old Olive. Using the large Memories & More Card, I have cut it into four using a stitched shape Framelit. These were layered with Whisper White card before attaching to card base. The Cake was stamped in Black Momento and coloured using Stampin’ Up! Blends. I really love the Cake image but didn’t use it heavily in this set of cards as I am waiting on the Dies! So the cake was fussy cut. 

A delicate doily was placed in the centre, Old Olive die cut square layered over this before adhering the Cake. The sentiment was white heat embossed onto Rich Razzleberry Card and adhered with dimensionals.

That’s it folks - all 44 Cards, 23 designs using the Free Sale-a-bration Card pack. It honestly took longer to photograph and Blog the cards than to make them. But I am now sorted for Birthday Cards for a few months.

Hope you enjoyed my “One Pack Wonder” I have had so much feedback about this concept I may consider doing a “One Pack Wonder” with every Memories & More Card pack Stampin’ Up release.

Wishing you all a wonderfully creative week. Stay crafty, until next time

 

 

SAB Sweet Soirée Memories & More

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Hope you are having a fabulous day. Following on from the previous two days posts, I am here to share another 6/44 Card designs created with the Free Sale-a-Bration Sweet Soirée Memories & More Card Pack.

Card Designs #11 - 16

Design #11

This one is super easy. To create card front, stamp Hardwood Background stamp in Crumb Cake onto Whisper White Card. Adhere to card base. Stamp sentiment from Cake Soirée directly onto Memories & More card. Place green diagonal striped card behind on a slight angle. Add a baker twine bow and some bling - done!

Design #12

These ones are just as fast and easy as the card above. Again, Stamp Hardwood Background Stamp in Crumb Cake onto Whisper White Card. Stamp sentiment from Cake Soirée directly onto Memories & More Card.  

Design # 13

These cards were cased from the Occasions Catalogue and was the inspiration behind creating all 44 cards. Basically 3 Memories & More Cards (1 large, 2small) are layered on top of each other. Top card is stamped with the Happy Birthday sentiment from Cake Soirée in Archival Black Ink. Bakers Twine and bling were added.

Design #14 

I adore how these two next cards look, especially considering I didn’t like the Old Olive & Calypso Coral together.  I think it’s the colour of the flowers which I like. I’m so not a fan of orange tones, so I struggle a lot when having to work with any member of the orange family. 

The Whisper White card fronts have been embossed and adhered to the card bases with Tombow. The two small Memories & More Cards were layered diagonally and adhered with Tombow. 

The sentiment has been white heat embossed on Old Olive Card and then die cut using the stitched shaped Framelits. The floral images from Cake Soirée were inked using Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. The foliage used Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive & Pool Party. 

Design #15

While I was heat embossing and die cutting the sentiments for the previous Card I made an extra set for these cards. This was attached to the Small Memories & More Card which was layered with a piece of Rich Razzleberry. Then simply adhere to the Whisper White embossed card front and attach to card base.

Design #16

Another super easy and fast card to produce. The only things needed to be done were cut the large card down to fit the card base, before attaching wrap with White Bakers Twine. Add a bow to the twine. Attach to card base. To finish, white heat embossed sentiment onto Berry Burst Card, attach with mini dimensionals and add some bling.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you are able to call back again tomorrow when I share the final set of cards made with the Sweet Soirée Memories & More Card Pack. 

Until next time, stay awesome & crafty

 

Sweet Soirée Memories & More Card Pack

Hello Crafty Friends,

Hope your day is going well. Today, I am sharing another group of cards made with the Free Sale-a-bration Memories & More Card Pack - Sweet Soirée.

One Pack Wonder - Cards 6 to 10

Items used to create this set of 44 Cards: Sweet Soirée Memories & More Card Pack (Free Sale-a-Bration item), Cake Soirée Stamp, Hardwood Background Stamp, White Card Bases, Embossing Folders, White Bakers Twine & White Embossing Powder.

Design #6

This is another of my favourites from the set of 44. I gave the card some stitching detail by running the card through the Big Shot with a square stitched Framelit. 

The sentiment was stamped directly onto the Memories & More Card with Black Archival Ink. The flowers were inked using Blushing Bride, Sweet Sugar Plum, Melon Mambo & Rich Razzleberry. Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist and Old Olive inks for the foliage. 

The stamped images were fussy cut (I hadn’t ordered the Dies when making this set - they are on their way!)

The card front has been embossed then layered with Black Card before adhering to card base. The Memories & More Card was also layered in Black Card to match its base. 

Design #7

Another one of my favourites and easy to create. You could emboss the white card front but I decided to leave it plain and just adhere to the card base. To this I added the Old Olive Polka Dot Memories & More Card. 

Using the square stitched Framelits to cut the base of the centrepiece. To this a slightly smaller square was cut and embossed using the Hexagon Folder. A strip of scrap from another M&M Card was tucked under the square before adhering to card front.

The floral images were inked using Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry. I used a sponge dauber to apply the darker centres. Pool Party, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist inks were used for the other foliage. 

Design #8

These cards combine elements of the card above with my favourite horizontal striped card placed on the left hand side. A 0.5” inch strip has been adhered to the card base (left or right, I prefer the left). Before attaching the white card front to the base, I adhere a thin strip of black card on the left hand side. 

The Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Memories & More Card has been adhered using Tombow. The stamped images have been attached using mini dimensionals. The Best Wishes sentiment was white heat embossed on black and also adhered using dimensionals.

Design #9

Oh my.......look at that wonky stitching! Lol I swear they didn’t look that bad when I was doing them! Naughty Betsy (my sewing machine) she must have had too many New Years drinks before I let her drive! 

Omit the stitching and use a Stiched Framelit is my suggestion lol So basically this is two M & M cards layered on top of each other. The smaller of the two cards has had the sentiment stamped directly onto it using Black Archival. 

Design #10

Just keep your eyes at the top of this card and the stitching looks great! Again you can omit the stitching on these two cards. 

Using the larger patterned Memories & More Card as the card front, before attaching the smaller card, I adhered a delicate doiley. They have been applied in different orientations on both cards.

The sentiment was stamped directly onto the smaller card and then adhered to the card front using Tombow.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope my creations have inspired you to get into your craft room and create.  

If you are like me, and would rather stroke and admire your lovely collection of papers, dsp, memory keeping cards, than cut them up, know that if you love it, the recipient is more than likely going to love it too! 

Share your pretties! One of my major goals for 2018 is to make 365 Cards - that’s a Card a day. 44 Down 321 left to make. Have you set a crafting goal for 2018? I’d love to hear what yours is. 

Until next time, stay awesome by staying crafty,

One Pack Wonder - Sweet Soirée Memories & More

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Happy New Year and Happy Sale-a-Bration!!! I love free product....who doesn't? I joined Stampin' Up! during a Sale-a-bration, so I know from a demonstrator and customer point of view - it is the best time to purchase all those Stampin' Up! products that have been on your wish list. In Australia, for every $90 you spend on product you get to chose a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure.

Today I am excited to share my One Pack Wonder using the Free SAB Sweet Soiree Memories & More Card Pack. With White Card Bases, Embossing Folders and the Cake Soirée Stamp Set, I was able to create 44 Cards. There are 23 different designs - 2 each of 21 designs and 2 single designs.

Items used: Cake Soirée Stamp Set, Hardwood Background Stamp, Sweet Soirée Memories & More Card Pack, White Card Bases (one card uses Old Olive), Embossing Folders, White Bakers Twine, Delicate Doilies 

Note: A few cards have stitching which can easily be omitted. Some use scraps of retired DSP which can easily be replaced with something current. All stamped images were fussy cut as I did not have the Thinlits when making this set)

Design #1

One of the large cards with a diagonal stripe was cut into 0.5” strips lengthwise. I used these strips for the edges of these two cards and put the rest aside.

The floral images from Cake Soirée Stamp Set were inked in Powder Pink, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Lemon Lime Twist. 

Also used : Oval Stitched Shapes Framelits, Polka Dot Embossing Folder, White Heat Embossing, DSP

Design #2

Similar design to the first, striped card running down left hand edge, swapped out DSP, added Marina Mist Ink to the floral cluster, heat embossing on Rich Razzleberry opposed to black card. 

Design #3

Using the diagonal strips left over from the first card, adhere to left hand side of card base. A thin strip of black/Old Olive card is attached to the embossed white card front before adhering to base.

The small Memories & More Card has been flipped in these two cards to provide a bit of difference. The card on the left has had a sentiment stamped directly onto the card, both have heat embossed sentiments.

Design #4

These two are identical and were very fast and easy to construct. The larger card has been cut down slightly to fit the card base. 

The small floral cluster in the left hand corner has been fussy cut from a large card (predominantly purple with a large white oval, floral cluster one end, greeting inside oval) 

The sentiment has been white heat embossed on Rich Razzleberry Card and adhered with dimensionals

Design #5

My favourite! Embossed white card front adhered to card base. Layer the two small Memories & More cards (slant the back card with the front card parallel to the card base) 

Images were stamped in Powder Pink, Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo for the flowers - I used a sponge dauber to achieve the ombré look. Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist and Old Olive inks were used for the leaves/foliage.

The sentiment is white heat embossed on black card, adhered with dimensionals.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you can call by again over the next few days as I share the rest of the cards made with this gorgeous and FREE Sale-a-bration Memories & More Card pack. 

Until next time, stay crafty
