Sorry for being away for so long. I have had IT issues. TIme has stood still on my Laptop for a while, I recently attempted to write a blog and it all went a bit wrong.
So while I was missing the Autumn Winter Catalogue went live. It is amazing! The video below shows a gorgeous gorgeous card created using one of the gorgeous new bundles and the Mercury Glass acetate.
I love all the items in the new catalogue, if you click on the catalogue picture you can see all the pretty items too. The Stars are one of my favourites, what is your favourite?
Lots of Happy Kit
Whats black and white with the options to add colour? The fabulous Lots of Happy kit from Stampin’ Up! There’s lots to love and enjoy in this all-inclusive card kit including the stamps, card bases and embellishments. It is so easy to make these gorgeous cards and then add your own colour using the fabulous Watercolor Pencils which are included in the kit. All you need to add is adhesive and scissors. I also recommend a blender pen and bone folder. The kit makes 4 each of 5 card designs for a total of 20 card designs.
This kit is perfect for a beginner stamper, if someone is short of space, you want to experience the quality of Stampin’ Up! for the first time or you want to enjoy some simple stamping without having to think too much. As you have the ink, stamps, block and watercolour pencils, you have items which just need a few extra bits to make some stunning cards. i love the colour combination
The video below shows the kit and the cards that I made using the kit and stamp set.
To make this kit more easily usable, I have an offer for you, if you purchase this kit before the end of April 2020 you will receive a free blender pen.*
*this will arrive separately from your main order along with a free gift and card from me (please do not tick the no contact box as I will be unable to send you your items.)
Sale-A-Bration Foil Sheets
Over the last few weeks I have discovered the beauty of the Sale-a-bration Foil sheets. It is one of the choices available in the sale-a-bration deal! Until March 31st you can choose the Lovely Lipstick and Grapefruit Grove foil sheets for free if you spend £45 (before postage and packing). I love the way it catches and reflects the light especially if you use an embossing folder. Another reason to choose this as your free item is that you get four sheets of each colour Lovely Lipstick and Grapefruit Grove in 12” x 12.”
I have to confess I did struggle at first, I don’t use a lot of foil, but after spending sometime pining pins on Pinterest and CASEing a few designs, I then created some items I love. The video below shows my creations.
It is a must have for your stash and works on cards all year round, from Valentines to Christmas.
Gingham Gala papers
Today I have updated my gallery with examples I have made using the Gingham Gala papers from the Gingham gala suite. The Colours are Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist. One side of the papers has small checks and the other larger checks. There are some interesting ideas on Pinterest where people have added to the papers to make them look like Tartans.
At first when I was playing with the papers, I wanted to make a baby card. I think it was the Balmy Blue checks, however, after stepping back and looking at the colours again, I was ready to play again but without ‘Baby’ popping in to my head.
I have used a number of different stamp sets for my examples. I wanted to show the versatility of the papers. Although there are limited designs and colours in the papers, they can be used with so many sets. I think that they are a fabulous addition to any stash.
I have tried to limit the number of examples using the Butterfly Duo punch as I don’t want to tease you with an item which you can not buy. Stampin’ Up! has switched the ordering off, however they have ordered some more and the ordering should be switched back on in March.
The video below shows the examples I have made using the papers.
I especially love the Lovely Lattice card, I am a secret Wink of Stella addict. I would recommend using thick Whisper White if you are planning to watercolour with it though. I hope you like my examples.
