Sparkle On Your Birthday CTC#232


Welcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. This week we are CASEing Artistic Expressions, pages 106- 159 of the new catalogue.





My CASE was selected from page 110 and used It Starts With Heart bundle, including the stamp, dies and embossing folder.



 I really like the texture provided by embossing folders, but frequently forget to use them, so this time I doubled up and used two, -  Corrugated on the Lovely Lipstick, Button, Button on Whisper White.



The colours are bright and bold on this card, the contrasts add a lot of fun! These images are a pleasure to colour and the dies help to make them stand right out.



Happy Birthday is a sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthdays, You make everything sparkle is included in It Starts With Art. The Happy Birthday stamp was positioned first on the Stamparatus and step-stamping was used to stamp it at regular intervals down the side of the card.



I thought I could stamp both together, but the 'sparkle' stamp didn't butt up close enough to be even. By positioning it later on the Stamparatus plate, it was a perfect fit to also step-stamp down the side of the card.

AWH Blog Hop 2019-2020 New Catalogue


Tonight members of the Art With Heart Team are sharing creative projects using products from the new 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. If you would like a copy of the catalogue, get in touch with anyone participating in the blog hop and we will get one to you. I am in South Morang Victoria, and also spend a lot of time at Phillip Island, Vic.


I loved the stamp set 'It Starts With Art' the minute I saw it, so I was pretty happy to come home from Auckland Onstage with it in my hot little hands. Then there was the sad story of how I couldn't find it, no matter how much I tidied and put things away!!! I was longing to stamp, but no "It Starts With Art' anywhere. I had to get my husband to help out, so I showed him the style of stamp cover he's searching for, and opened the catalogue so he can refer to it.



Like a bloodhound, he was off. Faithfully following the scent, until he walked out of the craft room and put it in my hands. You'll never guess where he found it!!! I'd put it straight on the shelf in its alphabetical spot, not that I remembered doing that. DOH! Crafting Forever, which has been in the catalogue for a year or two, co-ordinates beautifully with the new addition. I believe it adds more value to both stamp sets when they have a 'companion' to pair up with. I'm a little bit keen on heat embossing sentiments onto black card at the moment, and have done that for this card also.



While I was waiting for my dies to arrive, I stamped this card front and spent a little time colouring the images and background with Stampin' Blends. I'm sure I could have left the background plain as well, but once it was started......well, I'm sure you understand.

Next you're heading to the very talented Kimberly and her wonderful project
