Irresistible Design Cards – Craft and Chat Replay

As part of the 2025 In Colour Club I included a bonus gift of some of the Irresistible Designs patterned papers. I promised to showcase ways of using them, so todays Craft and Chat replay is all about the Irresistible Designs.

When you look at the Irresistible Designs papers online the don’t look anything much, but combine them with ink and they are stunning! Best of all you get the effect of heat embossing without having to get your heat gun out!

Rainbow coloured cards are great for all occasions, a really simple card to do using blending brushes.

This final card is a Z fold card. Just take a standard card base and fold the front back on itself. I used a water colour wash over the whole of the background and then went over the top of each leaf. It just highlights them. Of course the stunning Layered Thoughts, Happ[y Birthday stamp makes a statement!

Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used in the video. Click on the pictures to go shopping in my online store.

Its been my online 2025 Christmas Retreat this weekend, we have had a great time and lots of festive crafting has been happening. Its been lovely to connect over Zoom and my 2026 plans include lots more opportunities to craft together on Zoom so watch out for more information.

Thank you so much for all you lovely messages, I’m improving each day, but my cough is lingering….. Sadly though Brian is sick now, so I’m desperately trying to avoid his bugs, he’s struggling on though, and as usual won’t sit still!

Its been a crazy few weeks, with being poorly and Stampin’ Up! running the most amazing offer. I have had so many people join my direct team and my extended team, I’m thrilled for them. Not only have they got an amazing deal, but a continued discount for the next 6 months, early access to new products and of course my amazing crafting community. We will have so much fun, starting off with a crafting Zoom this week! Now I know the special offer has finished, but anytime is still a great time to join, message me or email for more information!

I’m going to try and catch up with the Craft and Chat replays and blog posts in the next couple of weeks. I then have some wonderful festive creations to share and of course new products and lots of fun too!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend whatever you are up to, I’ll see you again soon for some more crafty inspiration.
