Royal Peacock

Hello Everyone,

When I first saw the new catalogue back in April, this suite was top of my wish list. I couldn’t wait for it to arrive and start playing with it!

I wanted to showcase the stamp set alone with this card, there are many more stunning items in the suite which I shall use in future projects… Watch this space!

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the main image so I could use several colours and repeat stamp. Sponge daubers allowed me to apply the ink where I wanted it to achieve a gradient.

The complimentary stamp was positioned on to the main image and stamped with versamark ink so that these details could be heat embossed with gold powder.

A touch of Wink of Stella pulled ink in to colour the bird’s body. The sentiment was added with Bermuda Bay ink and embellished with blue rhinestones.

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.

Pootlers Blog Hop – New Catalogue 2019

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project is part of a team blog hop where we have all used our shiny new products from Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalogue!

This one is terrific with some gorgeous stamp sets, bundles and full suites of products to choose from.

My project showcases product from the Magnolia Lane Suite. We had an enormous Magnolia in our front garden when I was a child and I always remember how stunning the flowers were.

The Designer Series Paper has been used as the background for my card. It is so lovely I wanted this to remain a feature.

The topper was kept small using the Stitched Rectangles dies. A larger layer was added by die cutting vellum, so the pattern could still be seen.

The white panel was stamped with a sentiment in black ink, and embellished using the small Magnolia image from the stamp set with Gray Granite ink.

Some silver thread was looped between the layers for some extra texture.

Watercoloured Magnolia

Hello Everyone,

Allow me to introduce the Magnolia Lane Suite. This is an astoundingly beautiful stamp set with coordinating dies. The Designer Series Paper is equally stunning.

Other products in the suite include a ribbon combo pack and cute embellishments.

Product List

Today’s project is focused on the huge Magnolia image. This was stamped with Stazon Ink using the Stamparatus to guarantee a clear image.

The image was coloured with watercolour pencils and blender pens, then die cut.

Dimensionals were used to adhere the coloured Magnolia to a card base which was covered with Designer Series Paper.

Finally, a small strip of paper was used to mount the sentiment which was stamped on to some white card stock.
