Fairy Celebration for RemARKable Blog Hop - Out with the Old & In with the New!

Image may contain: text

Hi Crafters!

Thanks for coming to the RemARKable Blog Hop - Out with the Old & In with the New! We are celebrating the upcoming Sale-A-Bration from 4 January to 31 March 2017. You can earn free product during this time with every $90AUD spend! You are currently visiting Jessie Holton's blog (Australia).

Is this a double take? No, haha! I just love this Fairy Celebration stamp set from Stampin' Up! The images & sentiments are really lovely! I made a bunch of these a while back & my mother in law gave them to her friends. I wasn't sure if they'd be too childish to give as adult birthday cards, but her friends loved them & she wants some more, so here's what I've come up with...

The other day, I showed you a few Fairy cards matched with the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack & today I've matched them with the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper from the New Occasions Catalog.


I have gone with the "all it takes is love, trust & a little bit of fairy dust" sentiment again on the front of the cards. I love this sentiment! Isn't it lovely? It could be used in so many different ways, but today I've paired it with the happy birthday sentiment on the inside. You can see a pic of the inside of my cards further down the page.


I have used the (old) Sweet Sugarplum Glitter Ribbon & Frosted Sequins from the Holiday Catalog & the (new) Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) & Lace Doilies from the Occasions Catalog (Sign up for your Free Copy of the New Occasions Catalog here!) & hey presto, here are the cards! You can order from the new catalog & earn freebies from 4 January 2017.

The first two cards I made on Soft Sky cardstock bases & while this is not a coordinating colour from the DSP, it does match with the 'stamped off' Mint Macaron in the DSP & is also one of the colours from the Sequins, the others being Sweet Sugarplum & white gold/silver.

I have also used the Silver Metallic Thread, Jar of Love stamp set (mason jar & lid), matching Everyday Jars Framelits & the Fairy Celebration stamp set, which are all from the Annual Catalog.  


This second lot of cards have been made with Sweet Sugarplum card bases, which is a coordinating colour from the DSP. I have Silver Heat Embossed the jars, lids & fairy dust on all four cards & cut out with the matching mason jar die from the Everyday Jars Framelits on my Big Shot. It was so hot & humid here today, my heat emboss powder was half melted before I even put the Heat Tool to it!

It doesn't show up very well in the pics, but there is a big nest of Silver Metallic Thread in between the jar & doily layers.


On the inside, I have used the 'happy birthday' & 'may your wish come true' sentiments in Sweet Sugarplum. I have stamped the fairy dust & fairy in Soft Sky. And I have added a couple more Sequins for good luck :)

You could easily swap out the Sweet Sugarplum Glitter Ribbon for the new Sale-A-Bration Metallic Ribbon Combo & the card would look just as good! So how do you get the free Sale-A-Bration items? You earn one free item for every $90 you spend on current product between 4 January & 31 March 2017!

Option 1
$92.50 Jar of Love Bundle 142342

Option 2

Fairy Celebration for Kylie's International Blog Highlight


Hi Crafters!

Thanks for coming to the International Blog Highlight today, hosted by the lovely Kylie Bertucci. You are currently visiting Jessie Holton's blog (Australia).

The top ten winners of this Blog Hop will get to be part of a special international blog hop so please vote for my project as I would love to be able to participate in it! Our theme for this highlight is encouragement as we all need a kind word said to us to build us up.

I just love this Fairy Celebration stamp set from Stampin' Up! The images & sentiments are really lovely! I made a bunch of these a while back & my mother in law gave them to her friends. I wasn't sure if they'd be too childish to give as adult birthday cards, but her friends loved them & she wants some more, so here's what I've come up with...


I have picked the "all it takes is love, trust & a little bit of fairy dust" sentiment to go on the front of the cards. I love this sentiment! Isn't it lovely? It could be used in so many different ways, but today I've paired it with the happy birthday sentiment on the inside. You can see a pic of the inside of my cards further down the page.


I thought this time, I would stick to Real Red & just add details for a pop of colour. I got the colour inspiration from the gorgeous Real Red Stitched Edge ribbon that I had left over from the Holiday Catalog & then I spotted the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack from the new Occasions Catalog (Sign up for your Free Copy of the New Occasions Catalog here!) & hey presto, here are the cards!

For the above card, I have also used the Jar of Love stamp set (mason jar & lid) to capture the fairy. 


I have stamped all the images & sentiments in Archival Black ink on Watercolour Cardstock. I was going to watercolour them, but I ended up using my Real Red Stampin' Write Marker instead. I have stamped the fairy dust in Smoky Slate. I have used Dimensionals to attach it to the card base.


I have used a Real Red cardstock base with a layer of the Sending Love DSP Stack & I have stapled the ribbon to the DSP before adhering it to the card base with Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue.


I have matched the inside with a little Pink Pirouette fairy in the corner, the sentiments 'happy birthday' & 'may your wish come true' in Real Red & the fairy dust in Smoky Slate.

Thank  you for visiting my blog today! Make sure you head over to Kylie's blog to vote for my project. I would love to be chosen to participate in the special international blog hop!

 

I have also entered this card into this week's Crazy Crafters Team Project Highlights. You can see all the entries & vote for your favourites from 7pm, Friday 30 December.

Flurry of Wishes for #WWYS95 & #GDP067

Hi Crafters!

Geez, the Christmas rush is on now! Just went up the street to grab a few last minute groceries & it's mayhem on the roads & in the shops! Wowzers! I think I'll try to just stay home today & tomorrow now :P

Here's the couple of last minute, super simple cards I made yesterday. I've managed to use up the rest of my precut pieces & meet the criteria for TWO challenges - the What Will You Stamp & Global Design Project challenges.


I've used a Real Red cardstock base with a layer of Whisper White on which I've stamped the flourish from the Timeless Textures stamp set 4 times, to make a little Christmas Tree. I've inked it in Garden Green. Then I've punched the top with the Hearts Confetti Punch & added the Real Read Stitched Edge Ribbon with staples before adhering it to the base.

I've Silver heat embossed the two star stamp from the Flurry of Wishes stamp set & cut out with the matching Flurry Punch, put some Dimensionals & a little nest of the Silver Metallic Thread behind it & voila, front done!

I made two of these cards & used the smaller star on the other one, so no waste.


Then on the inside, I've been really cheeky & just used the left over inserts from yesterday's batch of cards. Apparently I can't count & so made a few extra lol let's blame it on the baby brain! Luckily, I had even stamped them on Whisper White when I was using Very Vanilla yesterday... I'm not even sure how that happened haha!

I have entered this card into the What Will You Stamp Flurry of Wishes Challenge #95


And the Global Design Project Trees Challenge #67


Would you like to get all the new Designer Series Papers & Ribbons from the Occasions Catalog for a quarter of the price?
