Stamping Sunday Blog Hop SAB Farewell

Thank you for popping by to see my farewell to Saleabration project.

The fabulous Sara Levin asked us to use 2 Saleabration products to create a project.

You have today and tomorrow to get your orders in to qualify for the free Saleabration products.  To see what they are go {here}

I combined the

Sunshine and Rainbows paper (FREE with a £45 order) with the Friendly Hello Stamp Set (FREE with an order of £90)

I used the more neutral patterns from the Sunshine and Rainbows paper to use as a background and to cut flowers and strawberries to create this semi 3D card.

The leaf stamp from the Friendly Hello stamp set was perfect for creating a bit of a background using the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink

To create the flowers and fruit I used the Daisy punch, the small Daisy Punch and the Strawberry Builder punch and used tweezers and the end of my Tombow glue to shape the flowers, leaves and strawberries.  The Tuxedo black ink was great for brushing onto the edges of the paper pieces to create depth.

Here is a video of how I created it

{Stampin Sunday Blog Hop - Say Hello to...}

Hello, and a huge warm welcome to anyone joining via the blog hop.

There are so many gorgeous products to choose from in this year's January to June mini catalogue, and such a variety to suit all tastes.

Please remember to have a look at the other amazing stampers taking part in this hop, the list will be at the bottom of this post.

I decided to use the Grassy Grove bundle to show off, however confession time, I ended up using only the dies!

When I first saw them in the catalogue I fell in love with them, the detail is exceptional, and I love that they're great for creating masculine style projects.

For example here is a bag made from a 6" x 12" piece of card and the main die. 

Behind the trees I have stuck a piece of vellum from the Layering Designs pack.

I used the vellum with the white map, it created a lovely soft background.

Here is the card made using lots of the other die.  There are trees, scenery and deer cut from white card stock and more of the vellum all layered up.

Thank you so much for taking a look, to see how I created these check out this video

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Gilded Autumn}

Welcome to another blog hop, Happy Autumn to you if you live in the Northern Hemisphere.

It's hard to believe that Winter is coming after what feels like a very long summer.

The suite we are featuring today is stunning, and have great possibilities all year round.

It is called Gilded Autumn.

It has beautiful images and colours

I was inspired some of the colours in the suite to create a scrapbook layout and card to match. 

I found this picture of my mother from many years ago and thought it would look good with the autumnal colours and leaves.

I used a combination of stamping, texture paste and heat embossing.

The ribbon pack in the suite is gorgeous, and here I have separated out the strands to add some movement.

Click {here} to see a list of all the items used.

The card ended up looking like a mini version.

Here is the video of how I made them

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - In Colours 2020 - 2022}

Welcome to my blog, today it's blog hop day!


Today we are focusing on the new In Colours.

They are Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight.

They are available in the ink pads, card stock, some embellishments and marker pens.

A lovely addition to the Stampin' Up! colour palette.

The colours are deep enough that when stamped 2nd, 3rd and even 4th generation the results are deeply satisfying.

Recently I have enjoyed stamping flower wreaths or garlands to create home decor pieces.

Here are some close ups, after laying down some testured stamps from Textured Essentials, I used stamps from All things Fabulous to "colour in" the images from Tasteful Touches and Jar of Flowers

As I was stamping the big wreath, I "stamped off" onto a piece of card atthe side of me and created a collage of images.  I then stamped flowers from All things Fabulous in Misty Moonlight to create this bright card.

To watch a sped up video of my process see below

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - New Product Preview 2020}

Hello there and welcome to the

I trust today finds you well and safe.

It has been my pleasure to get my hands on some of the new products that will be available form the 3rd June.  As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I get to buy from a selection of products a month before they are widely available. 

One of the exciting things with a new catalogue is seeing 5 new colours that will be added to our palette for the next 2 years.

Today I have used 3 of them along with a beautiful stamp set called Tasteful Touches and the accompanying dies.

 

I decided to make an explosion box and create my own paper to decorate it, the video tutorial is below.

Can you see the nest of gold the butterfly is sitting in?  That was made from some new gold thread coming soon.

Stampin' Up! have also provided some matching ribbon which is lovely and soft and great for making bows.

With the left over pieces I was able to make this card, the stamped panel was embossed with a new embossing folder called Tasteful Textile, it's really subtle and gives the card a canvas effect texture.

Here is the video of how I made the box and card.

Please have a look at the other wonderful creators in this blog hop, they can be found here
