Introducing the New Stampin’ Up! Colours

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m bringing you sneaky perks at some upcoming products that will be available to customers in May when the new Annual Catalogue goes live!

We have 5 new In Colours (left to right);

  • Peach Pie
  • Shy Shamrock
  • Summer Splash
  • Pretty in Pink
  • Petunia Pop

I used a new 3D embossing folder too, this is called Eyelet. I added coordinating ink to create an ombre look to the background.

I used the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set and punch for the sentiment.

There is a stunning die cut peeking out from behind the sentiment banner… I am going to be using these dies a lot I suspect! 😂

The In Colour ribbon is lovely and soft and ties into a bow very easily.

We have another colour joining the core range too…. Basic Beige! Sounds boring? I know…. But this is going to be so versatile… I think I’ll need to get another pack!

And look how beautifully it goes with Early Espresso!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Pootlers Colour Challenge feat. Timeless Arrangements

Hello Everyone,

From time to time, my upline will set some little challenges as sources of inspiration…. So here is a fun colour challenge….

Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie and Blackberry Bliss!

I added some texture by embossing the layering panel. A little ink was added with a blending brush.

The sentiment topper was decorated with Blackberry Bliss die cuts from Timeless Arrangements.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

I chose some rhinestones and sequins to embellish my cards.

Here’s another version using Pecan Pie as the main colour!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Ink Blended Background using the Layered Florals Embossing Folder

Hello Everyone,

Have you seen this amazing embossing folder? I absolutely love it… And it’s perfect for making super quick but stunning cards!

This is 3D folder, so make sure you follow the directions on your die cutting machine to get the right sandwich!

I just used Basic White cardstock so I could add colour, but this could easily have been subbed for any cardstock of your choice.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

I’ve added colour with blending brushes, selecting areas of the embossing for each colour.

This combo is Granny Apple Green, Berry Burst and Fresh Freesia with Gray Granite.

The sentiment is from a Sale-a-bration set and cut with these cute Everyday Details dies.

Here’s another version using Soft Sea Foam, Lemon Lolly and Bubble Bath with Crumb Cake… A much softer look!

And here’s another with bold blue flowers! This technique is definitely one to have fun with!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

I have pulled out the Framed Occasions stamp set and the Splatters and Stripes embossing folders to use.

Using the Rays of Light Background Stamp

Hello Everyone,

Today I thought I would show you how you can use the Rays of Light background stamp with the Stamparatus tool.

In this example I used Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Starry Sky and Night of Navy inks.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

The Stamparatus made it easy to layer the colours and add the versamark ink!

This sample used Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler inks.

Why not try stamping onto patterned paper or an ink blended background?

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire.Create.Challenges #123 – Sketch Challenge with Dragonfly Garden

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog today sharing with you my design team project for the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog!

Our challenge this time is to use this card sketch.

See the other design team creations HERE

I chose to use some ink blending to create the vertical panel.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…..

This colour combo reminds of a sunset on a summer’s evening!

The black layer ties the embossing and sentiment together.

This card takes on a completely different look by using these deeper colours. White embossing would look good too!
