Itty Bitty Fruit Flowers for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights

Thank you for stopping by today and welcome to Mitosu Crafts. It's Jay Soriano here with my entry for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights

The theme for December is All About Flowers and I hope you will like my non traditional set of flower cards as you can VOTE for 5 of your favourites back at Kylie's blog ~ http://bit.ly/KyliesDecemberHighlightsVoteforMeHere

The 3 A6 cards I created were part of our OnStage display using new products from the Tutti-Frutti Suite in the upcoming 2018 Spring/Summer Catalogue

To build up the flowers, I applied Multipurpose Liquid Glue at the back of a punched 1/2" Circle on Gold Glimmer Paper then carefully placing the vellum shapes first along the edges then the same for the whisper white shapes for the petals

I kept to simple layouts as I wanted the flowers to be the focal points. The card layer is embossed with Brick Wall TIEF and I stamped the sentiment on a small piece of a Tutti-Frutti DSP with Rich Razzleberry Ink

For this card I used the Pear Punch to create the flower. I punched 8 pieces in Whisper White and 8 in Vellum. You can add dimension afterwards by curling the vellum petals

I used the Strawberry Punch for this flower, 6 in vellum and 6 in whisper white. These were bigger than the rest so it didn't need as much for the 1/2" circle in the centre. The Basic Gray layer was embossed with Layered Leaves Dynamic TIEF

I also used the Pineapple Punch on the DSP to create the elements along the Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon which looks like pom-poms. The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White with Berry Burst ink then punched with the Classic Label and snipped at one end

For the final card I used the Watermelon Punch (bottom flower), 8 in vellum and 8 in whisper white. I also used the Pineapple Punch (top flower), 8 in vellum and 8 in whisper white. I only wanted the circular shape for the petals so I stuck the half of the punched shapes on the glimmer paper. This gave more volume and lift at the back of the flower

The card layer was embossed in Petal Burst TIEF and added strip of DSP on the side for extra colour 

The stalks and leaves on all cards were die cut from the Flourish Thinlits. I also silver embossed on Wood Textures DSP to turn the basket stamp into flower pots

The new products used will be available to order from January 3rd 2018:
Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack 145657
Fruit Basket Photopolymer Stamp Set 145833
Tutti-Frutti 6"x6" Designer Series Paper 145606

Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlights September 2017

Hi Everyone

Thank you for stopping by. It's Jay here and I am sharing the card I am entering for Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlights. The Top 10 winners, voted by you will then participate on a Blog Hop with Kylie next month

The theme for this month is Sympathy; to create a project to let family or friends know that you are thinking of them during their difficult time. Here is my card using the flower stamp from Butterfly Basics Photopolymer set and it would be great if you can take time to vote for my project, PHOTO #10 at http://bit.ly/SeptemberHighlightsVoteforMe

Sahara Sand Cardbase 10.5cm x 29.7cm
Basic Gray Layer 9.5cm x 13.9cm
Whisper White 6.5cm x 11cm
Stampin' Markers: Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz & Old Olive
Classic Stampin' Ink Pads: Dapper Denim & Soft Sky



The image was stamped on Whisper White card with Tuxedo Black then Clear Embossed before colouring using Stampin' Markers & Blender Pen. I then did the sponging, creating a halo around the image by applying darker inks around the edges

The aperture on Basic Gray card was created using the Everyday Label Punch from the seasonal catalogue. Normally the punched area measures 3.8cm x 6.1cm but I extended it to 5cm x 10cm for all flowers to be seen

Check out our Quick Tip Video on how you can extend the aperture of the Everyday Label Punch below:

It was looking a bit bare so I used the Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape before adhering the Basic Gray card with Stamping Dimensionals

For extra texture I also added the Copper Trim and Gold Metallic Thread embellishments. The sentiment from Hopeful Thoughts Set was stamped in Tuxedo Black and then raised with Stamping Dimensionals

Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlights August 2017

Hi Everyone

Thank you for stopping by, it's Jay here and I am sharing this project for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights. Every month Kylie Bertucci hosts blog highlights with different themes to showcase Stampin' Up! products and creations from demonstrators around the world

The theme for August is Teacher's Gift and I created this home decor / wall hanging for a teacher to have all year long. I do hope you like it as you can VOTE for your Top 5 favourites back at Kylie's blog, where you can find more papercraft ideas and inspirations with the same theme at http://bit.ly/KyliesAugustHighlightsVoteforMe

Can you believe this wreath was all done from papers and cardstock with the help of a glue gun of course?!

To create the base, I rolled copy papers measuring 10.5cm x 29.7cm to form 2 long pieces, intertwined and joined both ends to from the circular base then spritzed with Garden Green re-inker and isopropyl alcohol

I made smaller 'stems' the same way as above to hold some orchids and buds for more interest and the leaves were die cut using Old Olive cardstock



The orchids were stamped on Whisper White Lemon Lime Twist and Pacific Point, die cut with the co-ordinating Orchid Builder Framelits then coloured with Pool Party, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point

To add height on the middle parts of the orchids, I used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals

For the sentiment I used the Label Me Pretty Bundle using Garden Green, Tempting Turquoise and Memento Black. I also used the Stitched Shapes Framelits to enhance the punched label

Embellishments: Silver Mini Sequin Trim, Gold 1/4" Natural Trim, 5/8" Burlap Ribbon

Stampin' Up! products used available to purchase from Mitosu Crafts' online shop if you live in the UK:

Climbing Orchid Photopolymer Stamp Set and Orchid Builder Framelits Dies Bundle
