#useitup #2 with some Cute little Pandas for WWYS#154

Hi again, The challenge for What Will You Stamp this week uses the Party Pandas which is perfect because I had a few little guys cut out and Waiting Patiently for some attention on my desk top ( which is slowly getting clearer)
I also used up-  piece of leftover watercolour paper which I cut into a label and a square, another strip of watercolour shimmer paper, some silver leaves and 2 other silver shapes, an envelope liner and some mint striped ribbon , and a few more odd enamel shapes -  not bad for an odd set of bits and bobs.

One of the things I have been really happy with doing this #useitup process is that I make sure I finish each card as I go - including decorating the inside, stamping the Stampin Up logo "Better than Email" on the back, attaching my embossed Logo and decorating the envelope as I go. I always stamp the inside seniment onto a scrap piece of paper which is sealed in the cello bag with the card ready for sale. I never really comprehended how long this took until I had to spend a whole day tidying up and finishing off a stack of cards I had made. So if I can keep up with each batch of cards it makes market day so much easier.



And here's the other little guy made up. so sweet for any age but terrific for teenagers I think.

And here's the last one.

Those pandas really are too cute.



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 ...
