Share What You Love Doilies meet vellum.

Hello from New Zealand and welcome to this month’s All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team blog hop!

The team is ready to help you create beautiful handmade projects featuring products from the Occasions Catalogue and we have a Tutorial Bundle and a Blog Hop for you!

All Star Tutorial Bundle

Our Design team has created a ‘super bundle’ of 13 tutorials using products from the Occasions Catalogue and it’s a super bundle again as we have a guest designer in addition to our regular design team of 12. It is exciting to have the talented Sandra Mastello join us in May.

This month the bundle contains tutorials for traditional style cards, 3D packaging, fancy fold cards, and paper crafting techniques! It’s full of fabulous projects you don’t want to miss out on. Here’s a Sneak Peak of what you will receive in the bundle.

The Tutorial Bundles are based on currently available supplies from Stampin’ Up! and will have both metric and imperial (inches) measurements. So no matter where you live in the world, you can purchase these tutorials and use them to create great projects!

The Tutorial Bundle is $NZ20 – or place an order over $NZ50 this month with me to receive this month’s tutorial for free. See the details at the end of the post to find out how you can get this exclusive bundle of tutorials.

All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team Blog Hop

For our Blog hop to celebrate the release of the May Bundle, we will be showcasing a project using some of the same products or techniques that we used in our tutorial.

Remember, these Blog Hop projects are not the same projects as in our tutorial,

as the projects in the Tutorial Bundle are exclusive and not shown anywhere else.

Both my tutorial and blog hop projects use Vellum in a book fold card along with items from the Early Released suite – Share What You Love. This suite of products Is available to purchase during May as part of limited time bundles before the 2018 Annual Catalogue goes live on 1st June.

I’ve included information about the three (3) bundles towards the end of my post – including how you can attend a CreativeJax class making three projects using the Share What You Love Bundle and earn extra FREE goodies from me!

My May All Stars Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop project puts the gorgeous doilies from the suite in the spotlight!

It’s hard to see in the photographs, but these doilies have a pearlized finish on one side. The other side is a white matt finish.

The doilie on the front of the card adheres to the vellum layer with Liquid Multipurpose Glue. I sponged the glue onto the back of the doilie on with a piece of sponge. Here’s a closer look at just the outside vellum layer.

The spotty paper on the left side is from the Share What you Love Designer Series Paper (DSP), while the Bakers Twine and self-sticking rose embellishment are both from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit.

The sentiment is from the Love What You Do stamp set, and has been heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder. I’m super pleased to see this product returning in the new catalogue as I have almost used all of my stash which I got before it retired!

When you open the first layer of the book card you can see more doilies!

There is a coloured doilie on the back of the Vellum. This has been stuck to line up with the outside doilie and is coloured Grapefruit Grove. The facing page of the book card doesn’t have an actual doilie – rather it is the negative space left by a doilie. This piece of cardstock is Whisper White cardstock which has been sponge brayered with Grapefruit Grove.

The doilie was temporarily stuck onto the white cardstock to act as a stencil, and then the Grapefruit Grove was brayered over to cover the entire piece of cardstock. The doilie was then removed to leave the white pattern underneath.

When the middle page is opened, the Whisper White inner is found with some more patterns made using the doilie stencil.

This time I used a sponge dauber to apply the ink.

If you use the pearlised side facing up when sponging or brayering, then very little color stays on the doilie. If you turn it over and use the mat surface as the stencil, that side will retain the colour. That was how I got the Grapefruit Grove doilie which I adhered inside, on the Vellum.

I loved how this card turned out – and while it is the same style – I love how different it is from the card I made for the Tutorial Bundle. Some of that is due to the different suite products I used in each of the projects – including which DSP I used.

You can see how varied the DSP is in the photo below. There’s something to suit everyone and every project!

I give a step-by-step guide to making this style of book-fold card in the May All Star Tutorial Bundle.

Here’s a little Sneak peek of my tutorial project.
