Parfum

This card was case'd from Janas Paperdreams - she does such lovely cards!!

The card base is thick whisper white, then a layer of melon mambo, whisper white embossed with the new old world paper embossing folder, the frame has been diecut using the ornate frames and stitched rectangles.  The roses are from the dressed to impress stamp set as is the perfume bottle and the little leaves are from bouquet bunch framelits which I'm sure are retired.  You could use any leaf die though.

The roses have been coloured with light and dark lovely lipstick blends and the light real red blend. The leaves are coloured with light granny apple green blend and the diecut leaves are granny apple green cardstock.  

The whisper white embossed layer was first sponged with melon mambo ink and then embossed.  The centre of the perfume bottle has been 'wink of stella'd'  Not even a word but I'm sure you know what I mean.

CIRCUS TRAIN

I had a few weeks of classes organised before lockdown at the end of March, some of which came from the Mini Catalogue.  By the time we were allowed to meet again that catalogue and products had retired but rather than start all over again, I've used them in my classes explaining to attendees that some product may not be available now.  They were all OK with that - thank you ladies!!!!

I purchased action wobbles (mini action springs) from Amazon and placed one behind the monkey - looks really cute when she wobbles.  I shown my class how to make clouds with a punched scallop circle and sponging with seaside spray ink.  It's not a new technique by any means but it's good to remind them just how easy it is.

The 3/4" and 1/2" circle punches are also retired but it is easy to substitute them with circle dies or different size punches.

FERN LOVELINESS

Just a lovely simple card but oh so stunning!  There are no sentiments on the front or inside so this card could be used for anything from birthday to sympathy.  

I know lots of people have raved over the Forever Greenery Suite and I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly.  It's beautiful and will probably stay at home with me forever - lol.

I love the wee hint of gold - the gold laser-cut speciality paper is just gorgeous.  I have used the White Perfect Accents which are now retired.

INTRODUCING SEAL AND SEAL+ ADHESIVE

In case you haven’t heard the news, an old Stampin’ Up! standby has retired: SNAIL Adhesive. But don’t be sad—because we are replacing it with a product that is even better and stronger: SEAL and SEAL+ Adhesive. Stampin’ SEAL is an every-day adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly, like SNAIL, yet stronger than SNAIL. Stampin’ SEAL+ is a super-strength adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly, similar to Fast Fuse. It’s perfect for heavier layers or small 3D items and is perforated for easy separation after laydown. One more thing that we think you’re going to love: Both SEAL and SEAL+ Adhesives include 16.4 yds. (15 m) adhesive vs. SNAIL Adhesive’s 13.1 yds. (12 m). This new adhesive solution is a winner.  Watch the video to learn more.  deanacraftandcreate.blogspot.co.nz https://deanadesign.stampinup.net/ struts58@outlook.com Remember, a handcrafted card is like sending a hug with a fold in the middle!.

SIMPLE STAMPING WITH THE 2020–2022 IN COLORS

Can’t wait to show off the 2020–2022 In Colors.  We have monochromatic cards made using our freshest, most on-trend colours: Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, and Misty Moonlight. In fact, we think these cards might be a stamp-a-stack In Color party waiting to happen!

After all, creating multiple, monochromatic cards using the same design but different colours is one of the fastest ways to make a collection of distinctly beautiful handmade cards. Plus, these cards are so simple to stamp that you might get hooked on your first try. You’ll love being able to make cards in multiple colours in no time at all. deanacraftandcreate.blogspot.co.nz www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/deanadesign/blog struts58@outlook.com Remember, a handcrafted card is like sending a hug with a fold in the middle!.
