Rich Razzleberry Springtime Foils

I'm absolutely besotted with the stunning Springtime Foils SDSP!

I'm completely besotted with the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper that's FREE in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue (click here to see how to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration).  The sheets are all single sided and the stunning designs are printed with metallic foils: silver, copper and gold.  The only problem is that it's very hard to capture their beauty in a photograph!

Beautiful cards are so quick and easy to make with the gorgeous designs in the Springtime Foils paper pack!

For this card, which I'll be giving to my Mother-in-Law for her 88th birthday, I coloured some of the flowers on one sheet with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers (I used Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette and Old Olive).  I then fussy cut the flowers and adhered them to another sheet of the Springtime Foils paper.

This photo shows the designs well but doesn't capture the warmth and shine of the silver stripes and copper flowers

The greeting is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink and the banner, from the Bunch of Banners Framelits, is cut twice - once with Whisper White card and once with Rich Razzleberry.

Sale-A-Bration ends at midnight tomorrow (Saturday 31 March) so, if you live in Australia and would like to take advantage of the specials, pop on over to visit my store without delay!

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Celebrate Sale-A-Bration with Springtime Foils

It's hard to believe that Sale-A-Bration is almost over for another year!  I hope you've all had as much fun with it as I!

The FREE (with $90 purchase) Springtime Foils paper is STUNNING!

My last Sale-A-Bration package of freebies arrived while I was away on holiday, including this stunning Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper - so this is my first (and rather belated) play with it.  All I can say is "Wow!" - it's sooo beautiful! .....but so hard to photograph!

Sale-A-Bration ends at midnight on 31st March, so if you live in Australia, visit my online store - you'll be able to choose a FREE, exlusive Sale-A-Bration item for every $90 of product purchased.

I used my Pool Party Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) to colour the background of a piece of the paper that features copper foil flowers with gold highlights.  I then used another of my Sale-A-Bration freebies, the Amazing You stamp set, to copper heat emboss the gorgeous flower that I cut out and stuck on a corner.

Another Sale-A-Bration freebie was perfect for cutting out a copper foil greeting.  The word "Celebrate" is one of the dies in the Celebrate You Thinlits set.  The Multipurpose Adhesive Strip that I had applied to the back of the foil made it very easy to stick to the strip of Bermuda Bay card with it's copper foil edge.

I used the Bouquet Bunch Framelits  dies to cut the foliage from some Copper Foil Sheet.

A card that celebrates Sale-A-Bration 2018!

After colouring the paper with my alcohol markers, I cut it in half and used the other half on another card, which I've included below - although, once again, I couldn't capture the true warmth and beauty of the paper in my photo.

I used Pool Party card for the basic card this time.  The sentiment and label outline are from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.  The sentiment is stamped with Bermuda Bay ink and the label is copper heat embossed and then cut with the Classic Label punch.

Eclectic Layers - using leftovers

It's no secret that I abhor waste and try to find uses for all sorts of scraps - so here's another!

This card features the strip leftover after I'd been cutting out Swirly Snowflakes!

With Stampin' Up! On Stage just around the corner, I've been really busy making swaps for the event.  I'll be one of 50 of the Crazy Crafters Team at the Sydney event - so I'm making (almost finished!) 65 swaps.  I'll share them with you on Monday 9 April!

One of the elements in those cards is a Berry Burst scroll cut with one of the Swirly Snowflakes dies.  Well, there are two on each card - so that's 130 scrolls!  I cut them from strips of cardstock to save as much waste as possible and squeezed them together as close as I could. 

Then I looked at the leftover strip and decided to put it to use - part of one of them, anyway.  I'm not sure what I'll do with all the rest!

The base card is Berry Burst with layers of Very Vanilla and Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper in Berry Burst.

I cut the flower from the Eclectic Layers die set out of Very Vanilla cardstock and used sponge daubers to colour it.  I then added the top layer that I cut from Berry Burst card.  I used a similar process for the leaves using the Lovely Laurel die set.  I adhered the flower to a scrap of Very Vanilla card cut with one of the Layering Ovals framelits.

The sentiment is from the Beautiful Bouquet set, stamped onto a little scrap of Very Vanilla card.

To finish the card, I placed a Glitter Enamel Dot in the centre of each of the cut outs.

Thank you for visiting.

'Til next time!

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Special Guest: Cathy Caines

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters' Blog Hop with our Special Guest stamper, Cathy Caines - we are thrilled to have Cathy join us this month and so excited to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by her.  

Whether you are starting the blog hop here at my blog, Stephanie Fischer - The Crafty Thinker, or have come from the person before me, be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey through the blog hop.

Cathy is a super-talented member of the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team and her blog is filled with amazing cards, so it took me a while to settle on a card to CASE - but it was such a pleasurable process!  If you click on the picture of Cathy's card above, you'll also be able to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of Cathy's projects! 

Beautiful You meets Celebrate You

In my opinion, Cathy's card is just perfect, so I really didn't want to mess too much with the design.

I used the Labeler Alphabet stamps to white heat emboss the word "are" onto Basic Black cardstock.  Using the Multi Purpose Adhesive Sheets made adhering the Celebrate You die cuts very quick and easy to do.

By the way - the Celebrate You dies are available FREE during Sale-A-Bration (until the end of March) with a qualifying purchase.  All the details of the incredible Sale-A-Bration offers and opportunities are on my Specials & Promotions page.

I coloured the Beautiful You lady with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers, so I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The base card is Berry Burst with a layer of Petal Passion Designer Series Paper.

For the final decorations, I used two pieces of Berry Burst ribbon and one piece of Whisper White and a sprinkling of Tutti Frutti Self Adhesive Sequins.
