JAI#391 Using all 3 and a cool new stamp positioning tool!!!

This week at JAI the challenge is to 


I was lucky enough to be one of the demonstrators selected to be on the development panel for Stampin' Up!'s new Stamp Positioning Tool- the STAMPARUTUS. It was a very long process but I think definitely worth the wait.
But we had to wait until the Onstage Event to see it just like everyone else.

One of the perks of being on that panel was a guaranteed early delivery and mine arrive today- so after a speedy dinner of leftovers I have had a little play and I have to say it's FABULOUS.
Having only seen the videos which SU have put together it was really wonderful to actually get the feel for it and how easy it is to use. It is a beautiful quality product just as you'd expect. It will be a regular product from the middle of 2018 when the new Annual Catalogue is released.

So it was super fast to whip up these 4 (Identical- Yay) cards tonight.
I used all 3 elements - the tree from Sheltering Tree, the tiny tag uses Teeny Tiny Sentiments and a very old but much loved tag punch, ( but you could easily use the word window punch and flag the ends which was what I had originally planned) and I attached the tags in 2 options -2 with regular twine and 2 with plum twine.




It's a shame I have to go to work tomorrow because I'd really like to just sit and play with my new toy!

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...

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,...

Colour INKspiration #11, lovely colour combo

I've had a bit of fun this morning playing with a fe new products. I LOVE the new embossing paste- and I've been waiting for ages for SU to bring out some materials for mixed media.  This paste is light and very easy to spread it dries quickly and gives a beautiful finish It can be easily coloured with our refill inks to create a perfect match. This weeks colours are just lovely together.  In my card I have used marina mist ink to colour the paste and used the brick wall mask. This is spread over a watercolour wash using Marina Mist- I just love the layers of colour. To create the leaves I used the 3 ink colours from the challenge and the baby wipe technique to get the variegated leaves using the Colorful Seasons stamp set and framelits. I don't currently have any Early Espresso cardstock but I do have some very old (retired) Early Espresso heat emboss powder, and I have used this for the sentiment on vellum. Of course I ended up with ...
