{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.

Hi there!

To my shame I've had this blog post half ready for ages.

I just needed to add some words.

The stamps used are Timeless Tulips, Beautiful Friendship, Woven Heirlooms and Botanical Prints.

This is what the sheet looked like before I cut it up

Here are a few video tutorials using the Timeless Tulips

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Make it Masculine}

Hello and welcome, thank you for popping by to see what I've been making for his month's blog hop.  The theme is 

Make it Masculine

I decided to use

Garden Goodness

I don't know why I waited so long to get this set, and now it's leaving us :(

It has some beautiful watercolour like images that look amazing as soon as they're stamped.

The above to cards were created for the beginner and casual crafter in mind.

Card 1 uses the stamp set, one of the Stampin Up note cards and some Call me Clover and Lovely Lipstick ink.

Card 2 has tan added matting layer and uses Call me Clover and some Soft Sea Foam

This is the extra special card using some additional products.

I've used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to create a focal point.

Here is the card... it's an interesting fold, I saw it done on a friend's YouTube channel.

Please watch the video to see how it was made.

Here are the other participants in the hop, have a look at what they've done, they're an inspirational group of demonstrators.

The retirement list is now out and I've done a YouTube video going through the catalogue here

{Stamped Easter Home Decor piece}

Hello there,

thanks for stopping by my blog today.

With all the changes to life brought on by the Covid 19 pandemic and then everyone in my household getting ill, the last couple of weeks have been a bit of a blur.  We are still unsure whether we had "the" virus, or just another one that was doing the rounds at the time.  It certainly left my husband and I feeling exhausted, however we are very much recovered and enjoying sunny weather, and very grateful for where we live.  

The children are officially on school holidays so not so much urgency to encourage them to do school work that has been set by teachers.  Easter celebrations have crept up on me as the usual reminders of seeing Eater decor in shops, lambs skipping in fields and roadsides lined with daffodils have not been there due to being quarantined.

However, last night I took a moment (about an hour) to make this Home Decor piece that is now on my mantle-piece.

It is full of the symbolism of the Biblical account of Easter, including blue flowers reminiscent of forget-me-nots, small red hearts to remind us of the love of Christ as he bled and touches of gold and purple hinting at his kingship.

Here are the stamps and colours used 

STAMPS 

Inspiring Iris, Colorful Seasons, Varied Vases, Tropical Chic, Timeless Tulips, Beautiful Bouquet, Swirly Frames. 

INK COLOURS 

Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Seaside Spray, Soft Suede, Poppy Parade, Highland Heather.

Here is a close up of some of the stamping.

Below is the video tutorial...
