Heart of Gold

Dear Crafters,

Gold is in this year and so I have created a nice shiny gold heart of flowers!

This is a sneak peek of the Bloomin’ Love stamp set, new in the Occasions catalogue starting 5th January 2016.

Bloomin' love #stampinup

I used a Blushing Bride card base and layered some Whisper White card which was stamped with versamark ink and gold embossed using the heat tool. The bottom section is some of the Love Blossoms DSP which you would have seen in recent blog posts…. I love it!

The Blushing Bride Cotton Ribbon is beautiful and finishes this card nicely.

Check out the shine of the heart?!!!

Love Blossoms DSP #stampinup

Dear Crafters,

Today I share some more pretty in pink to end the week, but I promise next week, I’ll try and incorporate something more masculine lol

Can you tell that I love this Designer Paper Series Stack, Love Blossoms? I think it is just stunning and so utterly feminine.

How beautiful is this butterfly which was created using the Bold Butterfly Framelits and Butterflies Thinlits. The bottom layer is vellum, then blushing bride, then rose red and finished with a gorgeous Iced Rhinestone Embellishment.

Super duper pretty if you ask me!

Bloomin Heart #stampinup

Dear Crafters,

Last Wednesday I shared a card made with some products from the upcoming Occasions catalogue and I am sharing some more today using the same suite.

I adore these colours together; blushing bride & rose red. The Designer Paper Series Stack, Love Blossoms is going to be so popular and you can probably see why as I share my creations with you over the coming months.

Bloomin’ Heart

Bloomin Heart #stampinup

Dear Crafters,

Oh how I love glitter and when we were shown these items at the On Stage Local Stampin’ Up! event 2 weeks ago, ready for release on 5 January, this new Blushing Bride glitter paper is simply stunning , and I had to have it!!!

This is the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlit and the perfect die for this glitter paper.

Bloomin Heart #stampinup

I used a crumb cake card base and layered some blushing bride card which was embossed with the Elegant Dots TIEF. The sentiment (Bloomin’ Love stamp set) is stamped onto whisper white card in crumb cake and blushing bride inks then fussy cut and added with dimensionals.

Occasions/Spring Summer 2016 Catalogue Sneak Peeks

Dear Crafters,

Earlier this month, I attended a Stampin’ Up! training day in a brand new format that was a worldwide event in 12 locations; Brussels (Belgium), Perth & Melbourne (Australia), Auckland (NZ), Edmonton & Mississauga (Canada), Baltimore, Dallas, Milwaukee, San Diego, Tampa & Vancouver (USA). It was quite unique and a great celebration!

Here are a few of us at our table

Check out those metal water bottles that we each received, along with a tote bag, notebook, pens and a stamp set!

On this day we also received a copy of the new Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues. But first, I want to share with you a couple of the Make n Takes we created on the day. These were smaller samples, but when I got home I made them up into full cards.

Best Thoughts

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a floral card created with the Hostess stamp set, Best Thoughts.

Best Thoughts Card #stampinup

I stamped the image on White card stock with Black ink and coloured it with Blender pens using Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz ink pads. I started by colouring all the petals and then going back over the bottom part of each petal and making it darker!

Best Thoughts close up #stampinup

I layered the white card onto Blushing Bride card stock then onto the base card of Pear Pizzazz. I added the sentiment in black ink and added 2 rhinestones to the top.

Colouring with Blender Pens

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a pretty card created with the stamp set, You’ve Got This.

You've Got This #stampinup Blender pen flower

I stamped the image on watercolour paper with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with clear powder.

I coloured the image using the Blender pens with Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz ink pads. I started by colouring all the petals and then going back over the bottom part of each petal and making it darker! Isn’t it pretty?!!!

You've Got This #stampinup Blender pen flower

I layered the watercolour paper onto a piece of vellum, then Blushing Bride card stock then onto the base card of Pear Pizzazz. I added the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink and 2 candy dots.

Don’t you just love how this coordinates with the envelope by stamping the flower image again?!

Gift Card Holder

Dear Crafters,

Gift Card Holder #stampinup

Today I share a couple of gift card holders (cased from Claire Daly) which are very simple to make.

You can create 3 of these from 1 x A4 sheet of cardstock by cutting it vertically at 7cm x 29.7cm!

I used the Lots of Labels Framelits to die cut the end of the card, then score it at 3-1/8″ and 7-3/4″.

Emboss the opposite end to the framelit cut end and adhere Stampin’ Up! Tear and Tape to create a pouch. (This tape can be cut vertically so you have a very thin strip, otherwise the gift card won’t fit in!)

Create a belly band that slips over to hold it shut and decorate however you like. I have used the 2-3/8″ Scallop circle punch and added some embellishments. The ice-cream is the Sprinkles of Life stamp set which can be found on the back page of the AC.

Artistic Awesomeness

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the Awesomely Artistic stamp set. When we received our Annual Catalogue at Convention in May, we went back to the hotel that night and spent hours browsing through this amazing catalogue. When I saw this stamp set, I knew it was going straight onto my wish list!

Anyway, enough reminiscing, check out this card!

Awesomely Artistic #stampinup

I have used Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Basic Black coordinated with the colours from the All Abloom Designer Series Paper.

I also used one of the wood accents from the Expressions Natural Elements pack. I added it with the new Fine Tip Glue Pen.

The new Metal Rimmed Pearls (which are sticky backed) so very easy to use. The dragonflies are fussy cut and added with a glue dot.
