Stampin' Up! Sprinkles of Life

"Sprinkles of Life" is a photopolymer stamp set released by Stampin' Up! When purchased from your demonstrator, Stampin' Up! donate $3.00 per sale to the Ronald McDonald House Charity.  I think the Sprinkles of Life stamp set is the BEST RMHC stamp set yet and when coordinated with the "Tree Builder" 138295 punch, the possibilities for creation are many.  This is just one layout my customers created in a workshop held on Saturday...

The tree trunk from the Tree Builder punch can be used as a tree trunk as shown below or branch, as shown above!


The banners set behind the 2 1/2" circle were created with the 2" and 1 1/2" Banner Triple punch 138292 using DSP from the neutrals and brights paper stacks...

 The greetings were taken from the stamp set "Cottage Greetings" WM138940/CM139962.

We used Stampin' Up! markers to colour the stamp set and create our own individual centre pieces...

The cupcake base is curved with a bone and a dimensional added for lift, the icing was moulded too.  The candles were run over with a aqua pen to bleed the colour and make them one...

In Stampin' Up! "Cherry on Top" DSP and coordinating Pool Party cardstock, this card is so subtle and really pretty.... The twine adds characters and breaks the wide panel of DSP.  The circle was punched out with a 2 1/2" Stampin' Up! punch...

Stampin' Up! Sprinkles of Life - Catalogue case

"Sprinkles of Life" is my focus for this week.  I've been asked to demonstrate the versatility of this very versatile stamp set - is it a tree, branch, ice cream, basket of flowers, cup cake, pie, cloud and much, much more.  This is a few of my creations including the Tree builder punch - love Stampin Up! punches, the less cutting all the better ;-)

This post focuses on a case from a beautiful card presented in the catalogue with clouds, silver and watercolouring...

It is always fun to create a card with new attendees to class and show them each technique - this is what I created second time around with highlights of pink and flowers across the bottom as inspired by Kasey...

 I lifted the banner so it flowed in the wind...

Happy creating with your Sprinkles of Life - I love it and would love to create with you.

A Baptism / Christening for a girl

I love creating special projects with special people and one of my very special friends Yelitza was getting her gorgeous little girl Baptised.  The colours were to be pink and white, so I began to toss around ideas with Yelitza and this is what we created together...


Acraftycat: Dress Up Framelit x Stampin' Up! in a step side card

I taught Yelitza how to create the cards and how to dress them.  The cards in a production line...

Acraftycat: Dress Up Framelit x Stampin' Up! in a step side card.

Instructions

The blushing bride card stock was cut and folded (SEE HERE FOR INSTRUCTIONS).
The dresses were cut out using the framelit and Bigshot.
The tops of the dresses were then embossed and a bow tied around them and stuck onto the card using dimensionals to give the dress a little pop. 
The Whisper White seam binding was crushed and placed across the bottom edge of the card. 
To hide the glue dot in the centre of the card holding the seam binding in place we placed a fabric flower (not Stampin' Up!) and highlighted it with a Rhinestone.

The card from a side view focusing on the card fold...

 The gorgeous gift boxes in the production line...

Acraftycat: Dress Up Framelit x Stampin' Up! in a step side card

The Dress Up framelit was cut so that the shoulders were the hinge of the gift box - an open box inserted to give support for the base and of course a location for the chocolates :-)...

The dimensions of the box we inserted as the base and chocolate holder...

The back had the thank you on it...oh a hint - stamp before you assemble the box and put it in place!I's so impatient that I forget this simple hint!

How beautiful, it was just purrrfect, excellent as Yelitza says.
If you want a personalised project give me a call, and I would be happy to create something personal for you, or if I can give you more detail book a class with me and I can teach you how to create such a gorgeous spread for your special occasion.

Yours in paper craft, 

Stampin' Up! Sprinkles of Life & Banner Punch

Sprinkles of Life is a fantastic set released by Stampin' Up! that has a coordinating punch.  The set can be used as a tree, branch, basket of flowers, pie, cake or cupcake, ice-cream, cloud and much much more.  For class this month I coupled this great stamp set with the triple banner punch and cased this layout for these presentations...

 From a tree to a basket of flowers....

The flowers were coloured with Stampin' Write Markers and run over with an aqua pen to take the stark whiteness out of the background.  The banner was created using the new Stampin' Up! Banner punch...love it!  A couple of gold sequence to bling it up...

Stampin' Up! You've Got This

"You've Got This" is a flower and awesome linen rag background stamp set by Stampin' Up!  It is a set I featured in my Stampin Up! 2015/16 catalogue launch and yes, I love it. These are some of the creations of the attendees... Simple one layer, stunning on white card I love these colours combinations by Mary.

Acraftycat: You've got this x Stampin' Up!

 For the more experienced this was the card of choice and I just love the combination of brown and pink - in this case early expresso, soft sued and blushing bride...

Acraftycat: You've got this x Stampin' Up!

 Blue (night of Navy), gold and white is a stunning background to showcase this flower, water coloured in melon mambo with a daffodil delight centre.

 Calypso Coral also is stunning with Chocolate chip and Crumbcake...

 I am sorry this photo is not true to colour, but I wanted to show you the water colour effect the attendees created using a marker scribbled on window sheet, which is then picked up with a aqua pen and painted onto a prestamped image (in stayzon) on Stampin' Up! water colour paper...

Acraftycat: You've got this x Stampin' Up!

We had a lovely day and it was fun to see how each person used the stamp set, accessories and colours to create their own card.  Thank you ladies for a lovely day.

or a more detailed water colour technique, presented on a layered card.  The background is stamped in Soft Suede and the flower was stamped on water colour paper, fussy cut, shaped a little and mounted with Stampin' Up! Dimensionals.  The layout was then mounted on Old Olive DSP and then on Rose Red base card stock...


A Crafty Cat: Stampin' Up! You've Got This

 I used the contrast of Burlap Ribbon and Venetian Crochet Trim...

I wanted to create something a little more masculine for this card - the background is stamped in Soft Suede and the flower was stamped on water colour paper, fussy cut, shaped a little and mounted with Stampin' Up! Dimensionals.  The layout was then mounted on Early Expresso DSP and then on a Soft Suede base card stock...
