Let’s Play with the It’s a Science Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

You may or may not know, that I have a science background, so I just HAD to buy this stamp set!

I’m keeping it simple with some colouring chemistry with Stampin’ Blends markers.

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

There are no dies with this set, but the shapes are easy to fussy cut out.

I’ve used Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist to colour the contents of the flasks, beakers and test tubes.

The sentiments were stamped with Sweet Sorbet and Starry Sky.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Cards and Tags using New Stampin’ Up! In Colours

Hello Everyone,

It is so exciting to be able to use these fabulous new Stampin’ Up! In Colours!

These are earthier tones than we have had in recent years and I can see Pebbled Path being a versatile neutral.

In Colour products are not yet available to customers, these will launch when the new catalogue goes live in May. If just can’t wait, you can join Stampin’ Up! now and add them to a Starter Kit!

For today’s project, I am using the Around the Bend stamps and dies.

Here is Moody Mauve and Pebbled Path.

You can see how I made these cards in my video tutorial …

Circle punches are available as online exclusives and layer together perfectly.

Here is Copper Clay and Wild Wheat.

And finally, this is Boho Blue.

I think they look great together as a collection!

The coordinating embellishments are really pretty and catch the light so well.

Tailor Made Tags dies were used for these additional elements.

I was able to make the card and two tags from a ingle A4 sheet of cardstock with just a few scraps left over!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Quick Stash Busting Cards with Retiring Colours!

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m bringing you an idea to use up your cardstock stash. I’m using up retiring colours too.

Eleven colours from the main collection are retiring. These samples use Sahara Sand, Bermuda Bay and Rick Razzleberry. The others are listed at end of this post.

The Biggest Wish stamp set makes quick, bold cards and brilliant for the guys too!

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

I also used the wonderful Stamparatus tool, sadly this is also retiring and no longer available.

Exactly the same process was used for all the cards – this is Rich Razzleberry!

Here are all the other cards using Merry Merlot, Pear Pizzazz, Mango Melody, Pacific Point, Blushing Bride, So Saffron, Soft Suede and Mint Macaron!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #139 – Sketch Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge!

Challenge #139 is a Sketch – a layout suggestion to create the card. This isn’t in keeping with my usual style but I’m giving it a try!

You can see the design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

I have used the fabulous In Colours for my project today.

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

I have tried to stick to the sketch as closely as possible so I used the Heart Punch Pack to cut layers of vellum and cardstock.

The strips for the background are embossed / debossed and added to the Basic White panel at an angle.

For the original card the strips were tone on tone stamped and the sentiment was heat embossed.

What is your favourite In Colour?
