Casing the CAtty with a Trio os Watercolour Butterflies -SUO#170

I'm preparing for a card buffet this weekend as well as a technique class - it's going to be a full day of stamping and I'm quite excited!

One of the best things about the catalogue is that it contains so many brilliant samples to inspire us, so this is a direct CASE from the annual catalogue on page 72.

I have 20 kits of 2 cards each of this design prepared and ready to go for Sunday. (I have a choice of 10 kits, participants choose 4)
I have done the watercolour "Smoosh" technique for the card front, and used the retired Naturals White for the card base. I love the softness of the colours - Pool Party has to be one of the best colours SU has ever invented!


The sentiment is from Designer Tee - one of the cute Sale A Bration sets which won't be around for much longer!

The challenge at Stampin Up Only this week is Things That Fly so I think this will fit nicely.

Thanks for looking, and remember,

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...
