Here is a card I made using the stamp set:
Long ago, I was a painter. I loved to create faux finish techniques. Hence, why I love all that is messy in card making. When this video featured the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder AND Galvanized Metallic Paper, I knew I had to get my hands on these products and mess about. The video features the Country Lane Suite:
Here is my Christmas Tin Tile Twist:
Earlier this month, I participated in a demonstrator swap event. My Upline, organized a team meeting and a new Holiday card swap. I love participating in the swaps.

Birthday Blooms Stamp Set
Flower Shop Stamp Set
Back again, with another beautiful Brusho background. I created this card, first using the easy brusho technique. Once it was dry I added the versamark and embossing powder. The greeting pairs nicely with the classic label punch and the white perfect accents give it a nice finish. I was inspired to create two cards from this design by changing up the flower. I love how the gamboge is softened when the yellow is added, it pairs well with the Peekaboo Peach cardstock.

Stampin’Up’s Party Pandas
Power to the Pandas! Pink Power! When I first spotted this stamp set I went a little ga-ga over it! I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and start crafting away! This card was born out of card swap with fellow demonstrators. I love the combination of powder pink and berry burst ( both new In Colours). I think the silver glitter balloon makes this card POP!

Well here I am on Monday, attemping to record a video for my weekly post and what happens? It takes me the entire day to get it all together. Wow! I think to myself, do I really want to post this? Then I realize, that I am not the only one who is playing with this new product and not yielding the “As Seen On TV” results I was hoping for.
So here is a short video on my crafty adventure with brusho and the cards that made the directors cut! Enjoy!

Just Breathe
When I saw this stamp set, it was instantly added to my top 5 sets to get!
The versatility within the stamp set is amazing! It’s an all season stamp set for sure! As the cottage season is winding down and many of us are packing up from a season of sandy beaches and icy cold drinks, I thought I would create this card. Fall has always been a busy season for me, so this card is placed prominently on my desk to remind me to “Just Breathe”!
Watch the video to see how I created the card:
I used the Tempting Turquoise ink and watercoloured the background.
As that was drying I put together the other elements of the card. I used white embossing powder for the sentiment, crushed curry for the Adirondack chair, and the seaside embossing folder for the waves on the card base. After I assembled the card I added some glitter with Wink of Stella glitter pen!

I created this card in the Spring for a card swap. I confess, I love card swaps! They are a great way to share your talent with others and to get ideas for creating cards. As a demonstrator, I share card ideas with my customers. Card swaps allows me to have cards using stamp sets I may not have purchased ( and then after seeing an amazing card, I am tempted to add it to my wish list…sigh, such is the life of a craft-aholic)
For this card I used the Crafting Forever stamp set, Color Theory Designer Series pack and the new Watercolor Pencils. I love how the pencils glide easily on the paper and the blending
Check out this tutorial on how to put this card together:
Berry Burst card stock: cut at 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
Whisper White card stock cut 2 @ 5-1/4″ x 4″
Color Theory Designer Series Paper Pack cut at5-1/2″ x 1-1/2″
Berry Burst Classic Stampin Pad
Basic Black Archival Stampin Pad
StampinUp’s 2017-2019 In Colours are a blend of rich, subtle and brights!
I decided to play with the Eastern Palace Suite and the new in-colours…
Fresh Fig
Berry Burst
Lemon Lime Twist
Powder Pink
Tranquil Tide
I created the medallions and flower cut outs by using the Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies.
The greeting is from the Eastern Beauty Stamp set. If purchased together as a bundle you save 10%!
The centre of the flowers are faceted gems and white perfect accents.
Check out pp.18-19 for the suite of stamps, DSP and accessories.
This suite is definitely in my TOP 5 from the Annual Catalogue.
For these cards I used:
Fresh Florals DSP for the background
Layering Circles for the Black scallop and white circle behind the greeting
Happy Birthday Thinlit Die for the greeting and of course a bit of bling:
Check out these newbies. I wanted to offer a stamping 101 workshop to showcase the variety of uses for the versamark pad. Well after some web-surfing inspiration, this is what I came up with:
