Sunday Share - Colour Inspiration For You!

Our Annual Catalogue is filled with inspiration as well as many new and favourite products - take a look through the pages and I know many of the designs will catch your eye.  Did you know that in the papercrafting world it's totally ok to copy someone's design and make it your own?  Just give credit to the original designers by saying "this card made by xxx inspired me" or something like that . . . . and it's all good 😉💕

Today's card is a CASE (Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit) card from p 102/103 using the Gorgeously Made Bundle (it's really well named!!) and the Masterfully Made Papers, part of the same collection.  I have to share some pictures of the DSP so you can see the detail - the artists at Stampin' Up! made it look like it's torn layers - such a cool idea!!  If you want this paper for your crafting then you can click here to start your shopping list! When you click on any DSP product in my store, you can flip through each of the papers for a good look at each design!! 

The third sheet is a gorgeous watercolour scene and would be perfect for a scrapbook layout as well as backgrounds for some stunning cards!

The card I chose to CASE is in the middle of p 102 and I changed the colour palette to this group of colours:

Here's the first card that I made as a Thank You card . . . . using a couple of the Dies which made the lower edge look torn, and the top edge look like I torn it out of a notebook - both dies are great to have in your stash for extra creativity when you need it! The rest of the stamping layer is all stamping! 

and here's the other one as a birthday card.  I added some of the Adhesive Backed Sequins to the cards  - they are a perfect match to the Berry Burst hits of colour that I stamped. The folded ribbon is Bubble Bath - such a soft pinky/lilac. The greeting is stamped in Berry Burst onto a die cut from the bundle - it looks like it's been torn at the ends! 

I don't know about you, but I always need lots of both these cards ready to send to my family and friends so they will be going in my box. Check my newsletter mid week for more inspiration with these same colours!

Remember that your Bonus Day coupons can be redeemed all this month - and what better way to use them that by getting in on the Kits Sale that is on until August 31st.  

Need any products that I didn't mention or ready to get your list going?  You can shop my online store anytime and use my current Host Code K6ZDA4MD if your order is under $200 so I can include you in my month end draws and send my thank you to you.

Sunday Share - Our Kits Collection Make Great Road Trip Partners!

Happy Long Weekend – wherever you are I hope you are enjoying some good weather and time with family and/or friends – relaxing and recharging your way!! We are taking it easy and getting together with friends and family a couple of times for BBQ on the deck or eating out - a nice way to relax in our sunny weather.  Here’s some happy long weekend news for you!

For the entire month of August you can save up to 30% on amazing kits from the Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! What are you waiting for? Start shopping and crafting now LOL! 

Follow the link in the picture above to choose your kits.  They are perfect for on the go projects and you will make enough cards that you won’t need to hit the $$$ stores anytime soon for those last minute needs.   This is a limited time offer you won’t want to miss.

Sales Period: August 1 -31st. The sale only applies to the Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! (it does not include Paper Pumpkin kits).

Here’s a couple of the benefits of our kits (besides those awesome Kits Sale prices in August):

“I don’t have space for a lot of stuff!” Here’s the thing - kits are fun, quick and easy, and all-inclusive so there’s nothing extra to buy and nothing to store afterward.

“I’m not crafty” – well guess what?? After you try one of our kits, you’ll be singing a different tune!  Completing one of our kits for the first time will give you a real sense of artistic accomplishment – and if it’s not your first kit then you KNOW it’s going to be fun and fabulous!

“I’ve got nothing to do”.  Kids love the sense of accomplishment from creating their own cards and when they give them to a friend and can proudly say “I made this” there will be smiles all around!

"I need a hostess gift in a hurry!"  Completed kits make great gifts. You can make the projects and then gift them for someone else to use. Because kits come in so many styles and project types, there’s something for everyone. I’ve got a couple on the go right now that I make for my grandkids to use - usually we make them together but with moving and settling into our new place, we haven't done our normal travelling. .

Need more ideas – check out my store here and Facebook page too or message me for help with your project! Remember when you order online to use my current Host Code K6ZDA4MD when your order is under $200 to get in my month end draws – you never know when you could be the next winner! July’s winners of a package of Thick Basic White Cardstock each were April and Mary 😉. 

And if you earned Bonus Days Coupons in July then you can spend them anytime in August - don't let them expire!! They are easy to add to your order - cut and paste from your email to your order where it says "Manage Coupons".  

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Getting the Blues with Boho Indigo Medley!

 

Boho Indigo Product Medley

Do you ever have times you want to make something, but you just aren't sure where to start? It's the blank canvas dilemma of having too many choices. Often, when I'm not sure how to start, I let the artists at Stampin' Up! help me.

Suites, kits, and medleys - oh my! These artist-designed sets of coordinating products are a great place to get your inspiration flowing. And I have a tip for you - start with a simple kit project and step it up. Or look for a colour combination, or a whole design theme. My featured medley gives you so much product in the one grouping that you will be thrilled with how productive you will be - this medley was one of the first items on my wish list from the new Annual Catalogue and it's filled with amazing products to get you creating quickly! I hope this tip helps you the next time you are looking for inspiration - want to order now? Then click on the links to my store and it will be on it's way!!

I'm sharing this elegant card tutorial with my newsletter subscribers featuring the Boho Indigo Product Medley. This gorgeous collection includes stamps, dies, paper, ribbon, die-cuts, and more! It's packed full of supplies that will inspire your creativity. In this tutorial you'll also learn how to create a masked Embossing Paste background. Sign up now if you haven't already to get all my tutorials in my newsletters!

Happy Stamping!

Masked Embossing Paste Card


I get asked what the difference is between Suites, kits, and medleys? Although they are all groupings of coordinating products to make your crafting experience easier, there are a few difference.

Suites are entire collections of themed products that coordinate. A suite has at least one stamp set, sometimes two and usually has patterned paper, dies or punches, ribbon, and embellishments.

Kits include pre-designed and pre-cut projects. They can be all-inclusive or can include project supplies with coordinating stamps and ink available separately.

Medleys are more like a mini-suite. They are a collection of coordinating supplies, but not as large as a suite, so you get a bit of everything to inspire your creativity at a budget-friendly price point.

SUPPLIES:

PAPER
Very Vanilla (#101650)
Soft Suede (#115318)
Mint Macaron (#138337)

INK
Mint Macaron Ink Refill (#138331)
Old Olive (#147090)
Soft Suede (#147115)
Misty Moonlight (#153118)
Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (#144597)

KITS

ACCESSORIES & TOOLS
Embossing Paste White (#141979)
Palette Knives (#142808)
Silicone Craft Sheet (#127853)
Take Your Pick Tool (#144107),

ADHESIVES
Stampin' SEAL (#152813)
Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430)
Stampin' SEAL+ (#149699)
Mini Glue Dots (#103683)

TIPS:
Embossing Paste dries quickly so it's best to work with it quickly, and clean your tools while it is still wet. Don't worry about perfection, variations in depth and texture improve the effect of Embossing Paste.

Sunday Share - Catching Up with Cards at The Wesbrooke

Many of you know that I love my card making classes with the ladies at The Wesbrooke residence in Pitt Meadows - I've been sharing happy times with them for almost three years. COVID-19 put an end to our face to face crafting times for now, but the Recreation Director and I worked out a way for me to keep on sharing my card making with the ladies by providing them with kits each month, and some instruction sheets for them to follow and make their cards.

While it's not the same as being together, I know they are enjoying making the cards from the kits, and I'm happy they are keeping safe and healthy with their protocols in place.

My pictures today show the cards they did in July and I'm busy cutting more papers for their August kits to deliver next week.

The cards with tags are a perfect design for guys in your world and the Rustic Retreat Stamp Set is a great one with so many sayings and options . . . .  it's definitely not just for Christmas (although it does have a Christmas stamp in the set). 

The Braided Linen Trim is the perfect touch to add to the die cut tags on the Terracotta card, while the Reversible Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Ribbon picks up the colours in the Pretty Peacock card.  The Stitched So Sweetly Dies were the right size for the Thinking of You greeting - if you don't have this die set you really need to get it - lots of choices to die cut backgrounds, labels and tags.

The second card features Old Olive cardstock embossed with the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder (one of a two-pack) in the Annual Catalogue - so pretty with the flowers and butterflies!! The background strip of patterned paper was retired earlier this year but was too pretty not to use for this card and I found some retired ribbon on my shelf that was a perfect match. They got to stamp the little butterfly on the envelope too!

Thinking of You sentiment came from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp set - some lovely scripty greetings and flower images as well as coordinating dies to make cutting a breeze! 

I'm always happy when I can make cards that use up some of my older papers and add new products to keep them fresh and fun! And you know that when we use up our papers we can buy more!! 

What are you stamping lately? Do you make a card to send to someone special or do you make a few cards at a time to be ready for any occasion? I do a bit of both 😀 so I'm usually ready for unexpected needs! Check out my online store now for all your papers, inks and supplies to keep crafting! It's a brand new look so you may need to rest your password and save the new URL (where you find my store!!) 

Happy stamping!
