TUESDAY’S LOVE & COURAGE PROJECT

Welcome back and thank you for joining me as I share the Love & Courage projects I recently shared on a 10 minute video for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.

This stamp set is the September – December 2025 Mini Catalogue Make a Difference set. For every one of this stamp set sold, STampin’ Up! will be donating a percentage of the purchase price to Breast Cancer Organisations in the quest for prevention.

My second project features the sunflower and words of support stamp.

This time I am using Bubble Bath ink to represent breast cancer awareness in general.

I started by taking Block E so that I could use it to help guide me with some two-step stamping.

I placed the block over a piece of Basic White card and traced an outline of the block.

After attaching the stamp to this block, I inked it up with Bubble Bath and aligned the block to the pencil marks and stamped.

Then I cleaned the stamp and used one of my small blending brushes to add some Strawberry Slush ink to the sunflower.

Then I repeated the stamping process using the pencil marks as a guide.

After this I trimmed the stamped image down to a 3 1/2″x 3 1/2″ square and added it to my card.

The card base is made up of Bubble Bath with a Basic White panel and a slightly smaller panel of Bubble Bath paper from the 2024-2026 In Colour Designer Series Paper pack.

The card insert was stamped and had a strip of the DSP added. The back of the envelope also had paper adhered to the back flap.

The final task was to add some of the Bubble Bath Rainbow Dots to the front.

Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.

Until then, hapy stamping.

LOVE & COURAGE

This week is a little different to my usual schedule but there is a very special reason.

A couple of months ago I was asked if I would like to choose a current stamp set, create a variety of projects highlighting its features and produce a 10 minute video to be shared with other Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. Needless to say it took me no time at all to say yes.

I chose a stamp set from the new September – December 2025 Mini Catalogue. It is the Make a Difference set, meaning that for every one of these stamp sets sold Stampin’ Up! will donate a percentage of the cost to support the fight against breast cancer.

THIS IS A GREAT REASON FOR YOU TO BUY THIS STAMP SET!

So, this week I have several cards, a gift box and a shadow box to share with you.

My first cards featured lots of fussy cut pink ribbons.

To help me align the ribbons I lightly drew a horizontal and vertical line halfway across the Basic White panel.

Rather than use a liquid glue and create a sticky pencil erased mess, I opted to add Adhesive Sheet to the back of strips of white card. Then I stamped and fussy cut the ribbons.

Once the ribbons were secured, I ran the panel through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the So Swirly 3D Embossing Folder. I chose this folder because I thought this might be what someone goes through with a diagnosis and treatment.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment before fussy cutting it. Then I added some Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and popped it on the card front.

A few Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls were added as embellishments.

I stamped the combination floral and sentiments stamp, cut it in half and then added it the card insert.

Finally, I added another fussy cut ribbon to the back of the envelope.

Tomorrow I will have another card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

FRIDAY IS ALL ABOUT THE FUN OF A FUN FOLD CARD

Today I have a Square Pillar Card to share with you.

It really is an easy card to create and I hope that you make your own version of it.

The card does fold flat so that you can pop it into an envelope but then when you want it to stand, you just need to push the pillar into its square shape.

This is a great card to showcase coordinating designer series papers.

I used three different paper designs for this card.

The right hand panel lifts up to reveal more card – perfect for writing your greeting to its recipient.

The greeting was stamped in Lost Lagooon onto a piece of Basic White card. This was then adhered to a Pretty Peacock panel.

Before attaching the greeting panel, I took some of the leaf and flower card shapes, coloured them and then attached them, as you can see.

Finally, I tied a triple Linen Thread bow and secured it with a Mini Glue Dot.

I hope that you liked this week’s projects.

Next week I have some very special projects to share with you!

In late July I was asked if I would create a 10 minute video highlighting a stamp set for the Demonstrator Plannning Place and was delighted to say yes.

This video was shared with other demonstrators this week and now I am preparing to share these projects with you.

So until next week, happt stamping and scrapbooking.
