Petal Passion Suite - Stampin' Up! Products

Do you know what "cluster cards" are? It's a style where you put several stamps and die cut pieces around a central point (usually the sentiment), and it forms a cluster. It's a style I have found I love to make. This card is a good example of that. I have stamped, die cut or fussy cut several pieces and adhered them around the sentiment. There is also a piece of DSP across the card base, with some tone on tone stamping peeking out from under it.

To add interest and depth, some pieces are adhere directly to the card, some are popped up with dimensionals. Some pieces are partly hidden under the circle and some are in front. Because this type of card can quickly become too busy, I made sure to leave a big blank space at the bottom; which created a big colour block with the cardbase. I also kept the number of colours to a minimum. It helps tie everything together easily.

So what do you think of cluster cards? Do you like this style? Have you tried before? I'd love to see what you come up with with that concept.

Nature's Poem Card Stack using Stampin' Up! products

I am in love with the Nature's Poem suite! Look at those gorgeous colours, those soft natural images, and those amazing patterns! It is exactly my style and I was SO excited when I saw it. I just had to order the whole suite. (See it on p.142-144 of the Annual Catalogue) The suite includes: a double stamp set (10 images + 6 sentiments), coordinating Framelit Dies, 4 colour Twine pack, Silver and Copper metallic leaf trinkets, Cardstock Pack, and the Designer Series Paper. Shop the products here. I decided to make a whole stack of cards with the suite, using two basic designs. It is so easy to mix and match products and colours from the suite, that I was able to create several cards very easily. I chose to work with 4 different coulours (Tranquil Tide, Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove, Soft Suede) but there are so many other beautiful colours in this suite! For the card design above, I cut the DSP into a mat size (4 x 5-1/4) and for the card design ...

In Colors - OnStage Swaps - Stampin' Up! Products

Do you ever look at the catalogue and think: "I love everything!" Well, so do I. Of course, we have to make choices and can't everything. The closest thing you can do to "have everything", is to participate in swaps. Demonstrators often participate in swaps, and OnStage is a great occasion to participate, as we meet hundreds of other demonstrators. A swap is when each person will use make a card in multiple copies, then swap with other demonstrators, so that you end up with a stack of cards in all sorts of designs, colours, and techniques. Because everyone used different products, you get to have cards using products that you don't have. For last month's OnStage, I chose to use the InColors that were returning and the coordinating Designer Series Paper (this one retiring at the end of the month). I love the Crafting Forever stamp set, the sentiments are very fun and I played on the "cut out" phrase by adding a diagonal cut through the D...
