Stampin Up’s newest line of coffee- Merry Cafe

by

Look I made a fresh cup of coffee, just in time..only 12 weeks until Christmas! It seems to sneak up on me every year. I created this card for a demonstrator card swap in September. I love this card swap because I always come home with a variety of cards featuring stamp sets in the Holiday Catalog that I may not have on my wish list. This allows me to share card ideas with my customers.

For this card I used the Merry Cafe stamp set(144965) in the Holiday Catalog (p. 46).

Check out the video to see how to create your own Cup of Cheer!

Stampin Up’s Crafting Forever with Watercolour Pencils

by

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

Colour with Wink of Stella

by

 

I created this card to feature this colouring technique.

Inking up the Wink of Stella glitter brush with the Fresh Fig ink allowed me to add a subtle shimmer to the card without all the mess and fuss of glitter.

Scroll down for cutting instructions and supply list. The video gives details on how to put the card together. This is a quick and easy card to put together.

In this photo I am showcasing the card done in each of the new 2017-2019 in colours:

 Lemon Lime Twist; Powder Pink; Fresh Fig; Tranquil Tide and Berry Burst. It was hard to pick a favourite!

This would be a great gift to give to a teacher, friend or co-worker.

Colour Play

by

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:

Rhinestones!
