Garden Lane - Memorable Birthday

This card turned out really well and has fast become my favourite of the ones I have made lately.
Using up some DSP - Garden Lane - to make way for new DSP, always trying to make room for more DSP!

The Soft Sea Foam cardstock goes really well with the Mossy Meadow and the addition of some Gold Foil makes a very stylish card.

I recently featured this card in my June Make and Take and the ladies enjoyed playing around with the leaves and die cuts from the Stylish Stems Dies, to create their own take on my card.


I would be very happy to receive this card.
Stampin' Up! has a great way of changing up their products.  Even though some of these products I've used in this card have now retired, there will be something similar in the current catalogue.
Would you like a current catalogue?
Send me a message and I'll post one out to you.
Once you have sorted what you want to purchase - use my Host Code for June:  BB6CYN9R and I'll send you a gift!

Happy crafting!
Cheers!

Hello Beautiful - Flowering Foils

Today I am going to feature another card from my June Make and Take.
Thanks again to Julie Gilson - StampinGala for the original version of this card.
Julie is one of my favourite Demonstrators to watch on video and to CASE her cards.  Very talented lady!

Using a dauber and Highland Heather ink, the ladies at my Make and Take coloured the Flowering Foils DSP for a very easy, quick and pretty card. 
The label was created using a die from the set Stitched So Sweetly (another of my favourite die sets) set and the sentiment was from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set.
Another first for my lovely ladies was to heat emboss the words in silver embossing powder.  Success!  Beautiful cards made on the day!


Did you know that if you click on any of the product items below, it will take you to the Stampin' Up! website where you can look at all the products.
Let me know if you are interested and I can help you get the most from your order.
Lot's of promotions happening at the moment.

Have a great day.
Cheers!

Flowering Foils - Make and Take

My June Make and Take was held on 13 June and on the day we created this lovely card.
I need to say thank you to Julie Gilson from StampinGala for firstly creating this card and I hope my ladies have done it justice!

My regular ladies had never used the daubers and ink before so it was a great day of learning a new skill and achieving a very stylish card.
The Flowering Foils DSP is especially easy to use. With a little ink and fussy cutting you can create something very special.
Thank you ladies for a great day.


The Flowering Foils has a copper foil throughout the paper and I teamed the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements with it for some coordinated bling!
The borders in the die set Ornate Borders are also great for some finishing touches.
This card would look great in any colour!
What colours will you use???

Need help deciding.  Jump on over to the Stampin' Up! website to have a look at all the great products available.

Stitched Lace

I needed to make a card for an older female in mind and came across the Stitched Lace Die in my bundle of goodies.  Perfect!  Purple Posy and Highland Heather cardstock, with a Very Vanilla background.  Perfect!


I used the flower combination from the Floral Essence Stamp Set and the leaves from this stamp as well.  

You will notice some non Stampin' Up! products used on the card but  ....  we all have products from elsewhere which still work well with Stampin' Up! products.

If you are interested in making a card like this and not sure how, get in contact with me though my Facebook Page - Collard Crafts and I will be happy to help.

Kylie Bertucci's June Blog Hop 2020

Image may contain: 1 person, outdoor, text that says 'KYLIE'S DEMONSTRATOR TRAINING PROGRAM MONTHLY TEAM BLOG HOP'

You are so Special - In Good Taste Suite!


Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!  I am a very lucky member of Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Program and part of this program is to participate in a monthly blog.  I don't always get to the Blog Hop in time, but this month I was determined!


Once a month you will see here in the Blog Hop amazing line up of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators from around the world, and I know you are going to love all the amazing projects that you are going to see today.  Enjoy your journey, get inspired and create! 

Just a quick and easy card this afternoon Sunday 14th June, as I've been busy all weekend with my monthly Make and Take Workshop, sorting through many retired stamps and die sets, getting ready for sale and then the Ribbon and DSP shares had to be sorted.  Busy!!!  Thanks to a life long friend visiting for the weekend we got all of that done and more!  

As the front cover of our new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue says:


INSPIRE   CREATE   SHARE  !!!
I've turned to page 123 and taken inspiration from the many lovely cards made from the 
In GOOD TASTE suite.

Having received all the goodies in this suite only last Friday, just in time for the weekend, I've used the DSP;  the Tasteful Labels dies; and the Tasteful Touches Stamp set.
My cardstock and ink is Rococo Rose, unfortunately the Rococo Rose ink doesn't seem correct in this photo but it looks great in true life!


Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.  I really would appreciate you leaving a comment or visiting my Facebook page - Collard Crafts and would really appreciate any feedback.  I know that many other demonstrators around the world will have amazing projects.  Enjoy your 'hopping'!



The list will show you who to visit next.  Don't miss one blog link!  Remember you are currently on my page - Trudy Collis, see who is below me to know who to visit next.

Hope you will join in again next month!


Happy crafting!

Bonanza Buddies No: 2 and 3

My granddaughter turned 2 recently so I used the Bonanza Buddies Stamp set and Birthday Bonanza DSP to make her a card.  I made the other card for a friend's son turning 3!
Whenever I use these numbers on my cards, I put 3 or 4 layers of cardstock together to give the number depth and to make it stand out more.
This stamp set and the Designer Series Paper are lots of fun and especially great for children's cards.


This bundle also has lots of colourful pompoms and sequins to use on your cards and it's fun putting all the sections of the kola together.  Also in the stamp set is a lion and a tucan!  
Sadly it's not a current stamp set, but if you are interested in the seeing what else is available, pop over to the website:  https://www.stampinup.com.au/
Don't forget to shop with me and use my host code for the month of June  -  BB6CYN9R.
