My Floral Squares Dies had their first outing at last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa Class.
I chose Very Vanilla for the basecard and squares, with Soft Succulent as my background colour. Additional splashes of colour were from Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink, from this year’s In Color Collection. They were joined by So Saffron.
Each square has a backing piece of Soft Succulent 6×6 DSP, to help separate them from the background.
Then, the colourful flower pieces are given a coating of Wink of Stella before they are added to each square.
My sentiment, from the Art Gallery Stamp Set has loops of ribbon at each end.
Loose Flower Flourishes in the three flower In Colors are then attached.
Finally, some Pearls are stuck to the centre of some of the flowers.
I think this project would look really great in monochrome. I’ll add it to my list of things to try!

For this card, there is no stamping to be found. It uses DSP as the background, and dies for the sentiment instead.
The main colour is Mint Macaron, taken from the Hand-Penned DSP backgroud piece. I’ve then paired it with Just Jade. There is some Basic White too, to coordinate with the stripes in the paper.
Shapes from the Layering Circles Dies provide the background for my sentiment.
The sentiment is from the Floral Gallery Dies and this sits on top of my circles. I found carefully using small dots of Multipurpose Glue worked, but you could use Fine-Tip Glue or Adhesive Sheets.
There are two pieces jutting out from beneath the circles and this is also a shape from the Floral Gallery Dies. I’ve just cut it in half to create two.
Using Dimensionals, the sentiment piece is raised up in the centre.
Finally, I’ve added some Genial Gems, also in Mint Macaron to just add a very tiny touch of sparkle.
This is a great neutral project and perfect for any occasion. It’s my first time using the ‘just want to say’ from the dies and it won’t be my last. I’ve got a few ideas bouncing around my head now!
Don’t forget that the DSP Special Offer ends TODAY. Make sure you don’t miss out on getting your hands on some discounted pretty paper!

My favourite time of the month as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is sending Thank You cards to those who shopped with me the month before.
This is my card for my June Customers.
It uses items from the Hand-Penned Suite, with the Hand-Penned DSP as the focus.
The fabulous DSP is on Special Offer until 2nd August. Make sure you grab yourself a pack or two before the offer ends.
For my colour combination, I picked Pale Papaya and Basic White from the DSP, with a Black sentiment. As there are a few colours in the DSP, I wanted to keep the colours I used to a minimum.
Using the Penned Flowers Dies from the Suite, I scalloped the edge of the DSP.
The sentiment is from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set and I’ve stamped a few extra flowers around it.
This is cut out using the Label Me Fancy Punch.
Lengths of the coordinating In Color Ribbon are crossed behind it.
Finally, some Genial Gems, also from the Suite are dotted across the project.
If you shop with me in July, a card will be on the way to you during August. Don’t forget that if you use the Online Shopping Club Code, you will receive a little extra gift too.

For this week’s Top Tips, Tricks & Techniques video, I’m sharing tips on how to make your punching more efficient. This is particularly useful if you are stamping and punching multiples of the same shape.
Click below to watch my video.
My project uses a colour combination of Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Very Vanilla.
The leaves from the Very Versailles Stamp Set are stamped multiple times before some strips of cardstock are added at the bottom. This creates a window box feel.
A length of Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon in Blushing Bride, available in the new July-December Mini Catalogue from Tuesday is then added.
The Sweet Strawberry Bundle (Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set & Strawberry Builder Punch) provide the flowers.
A shape from the Messages Die is stamped with a sentiment and raised up using Dimensionals.
Each of the flowers are then added using Glue Dots.
Finally, a small Pearl sits in the centre of each flower.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s Top Tips, Tricks & Techniques video. Pop back next week for the next one.

Following on from yesterday’s sneak peek at a new Bundle, here’s another.
The super cute Penguin Place Bundle (Penguin Place Stamp Set & Penguin Builder Punch) will be in the new July-December Mini Catalogue that goes live on Tuesday.
Obviously I used Black and White, but there are Pumpkin Pie beak and feet and the other elements are Flirty Flamingo.
This is a set that works for Christmas, as it has various images and sentiments, but it also works for other occasions too. Today’s project is a Birthday Card.
After stamping and punching the penguin and the feet from a separate piece of cardstock, it was assembled using Glue Dots.
Then, the background balloon, parcels for it to sit on, and surrounding stars were all stamped.
Raising the penguin up on Dimensionals just adds a bit more depth to the project.
Finally, I used Wink of Stella to add a touch of sparkle to each of the stars.
Not only is this set in the July-December Mini Catalogue, there is a fabulous coordinating 12×12 DSP pack available as a SAB item too.
Make sure you check them out when they go live on Tuesday.
Join me at one of my online classes. This Bundle will feature at my October SSOTM Class. Head to my Class Timetable for full details.

The new July-December Mini Catalogue goes live next Tuesday (3rd August), along with the second SAB of the year.
This fabulous Gorgeous Leaves Bundle (Gorgeous Leaves Stamp Set & Intricate Leaves Dies) is just one of the new products.
Here I’ve used shades of blue in Pool Party, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy to stamp images from the Stamp Set. I’ve also cut out some of the images and other detailed leaf shapes using the Dies.
This Stamp Set doesn’t have any sentiments, so ‘Happy Birthday’ is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set.
Can you spot a new ribbon in there too? It’s a fabulous Striped Grosgrain in Pool Party.
My SSOTM for September will use this Gorgeous Leaves Bundle and will be my annual Mostly Men Class. All of the projects will be based around these fabulous products. Make sure you book your place ASAP.

At last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa, we used the Sea Life Dies – again!
From the previous week’s project, there were some leftover pieces from the Layering Diorama Dies. It seemed silly not to use them in another design.
So, rather than just fish, this design uses the seahorse.
Once again, I’ve also added a shape from the Smooth Sailing Dies, the seaweed.
The colours are also similar to before with Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party for the water.
Seaweed and coral are in Calypso Coral and Old Olive, with the fish in Pumpkin Pie.
My sentiment is from the Art Gallery Stamp Set. I would love to change it to ‘Best Fishes!’
After adding the sentiment and positioning the water pieces, seaweed and coral. It was time to concentrate on the seahorse.
Using Sponge Daubers, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron, I coloured the seahorse while it was still in the piece it was die-cut to. This die-cut shape is slightly different as it doesn’t cut all the way out, to allow you to use it in a variety of ways.
Once I had coloured it, I cut through the different points to release it. I then attached it using Dimensionals to raise it up, with the tail wrapped around a piece of coral.
The small fish are then placed at the top, by the sentiment.
Finally, some clear shapes from Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials are dotted around to look like bubbles.

The colour combination may look familiar on today’s project.
It’s the same colour combination I used yesterday. While the colours were on my desk, I made another card and created this summery project.
This time it uses the Sweet Strawberry Bundle (Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and Strawberry Builder Punch).
This Bundle is discounted in the Annual Catalogue.
The bottom section is stamped multiple times with the flower shapes, both the inner and outline images.
Next, strips of Magenta Madness, Mango Melody and Calypso Coral are added. Any overhang is cut away before it is added to the layer.
As with yesterday, the sentiment is stamped and then shaped using the Banners Pick a Punch.
Then, a stamped and punched flower in each colour is added to the sentiment. Each flower has a sequin from the Ephemera Pack in the centre.
The sentiment and flowers are attached using Dimensionals.
Finally, a few more sequins are dotted around the bottom section.
