Tissue Paper Watercolour Technique with Timeless Tulips

This is not a colour combination I would usually choose, but I got my inspiration from the patterned paper, Plaid Tidings DSP.

Colour Combination - MM MM GAG WW

Timeless Tulips Tissue Paper Watercolour Technique by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2020

Technique: rub your inkpads onto your craft mat, next to each other but not touching, covering about the same size area as your paper. Spritz with water. You can used a bone folder or palette knife to blend the colour into each other. Place a piece of White tissue paper on top and let it absorb the colour. Carefully lift the tissue paper and place it onto some paper towel to dry.

Place some adhesive sheet onto a piece of white cardstock and remove the wax layer so the entire sheet is sticky. Scrunch up the tissue paper, open it up and stick it to the card. Punch out your tulips with the Tulip Builder Punch.

The Mango Melody card is embossed with the Wrapped in Texture TIEF and the Melon Mambo card base is embossed with the Dainty Diamonds 3D TIEF. The white circle is cut using the Stitched Shapes dies, stamped and added to the card with dimensionals for some height.

Colour Creations Showcase – Basic Gray

AWHT Colour Creations Showcase

Tonight’s Stampin’ Up! colour to showcase is Basic Gray!

The Beautiful World Bundle is just the perfect product for Masculine cards, or even using with your travel photos in a memory album.

The Basic Gray card base (10.5 x 29.7cm) is folded in half, then I glued some die cut globes in the same cardstock as my feature background. The Very Vanilla layer (6 x 10cm) is stamped with the globe then glued to the Basic Gray layer (6.5 x 10.5cm) and run through the embossing machine with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Now you can add the Silver stand.

Rainbow Cake without the calories!

Reminder: today is the last day to purchase any last minute Holiday catalogue items as well as the Year End Clearance Close Out for retiring Holiday Catalogue items. The Clearance Rack also has some heavily reduced items, so check them out too!

Who doesn’t love cake?!!! Check out this amazing rainbow cake of glorious colour without the calories!!!

This white card fits into a DL business size envelope, so it is larger than the normal A5 card, but hey, it needed to be to fit all those layers of cake!

I took 7 colours of card stock and cut them into 1/2″ strips and glued them to a piece of scrap card, butting each one up against the other.  Then I cut off the overhanging pieces with scissors.

Once I had the right size, I then added some Snowfall Accents Puff Paint between each layer and used the Heat Tool to puff it up. How cool does it look, so realistic like icing oozing out!!!

Using the Leaf & Classic Label punches I was able to create the candles.

Birthday, feminine, Flowers, Handmade Cards, Jan-Jun Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration, Stampin' Up!

Sneak Peek of Timeless Tulips

One week to Christmas, where has this year gone? It has flown by so quickly and the kids finish school on Friday, so they will be around to help out prior to Christmas Day celebrations and my brother-in-laws home. What are you doing for Christmas?

Tonight I have a sneak peek of the Stamp set we received at OnStage last month, Timeless Tulips. It also has a coordinating punch, so no need to fussy cut the tulips, yay!

This is a Pear Pizzazz card base and then stamping onto Whisper White with Pear Pizzazz and Rococo Rose ink. Stamp 3 extra large tulips and 2 leaves and punch out. Add these with dimensionals once the card is put together. Linen thread is wrapped around twice and tied in a bow. The sentiment is also from the same set and added with mini dimensionals.

I hope you are ready for Christmas, then early next year, Stampin’ Up!s Sale-a-bration begins!
