Social Stamping blog hop using RAINBOWS

Hello again, we are stamping this week using rainbows as our theme. I've noticed chalk rainbows on the fences around my neighbourhood since Kelly suggested this and they make me smile as I drive past. I remember my kids doing lots of fence/ pavement/ trampoline chalk art too. Such a potent symbol of hope and rebirth. Thankyou to Kelly for suggesting this theme, it's a lovely way to share hope around our community this week. I hope you are feeling some positive vibes too.
 I have a simple floral arrangement on my watercolour background this week, with some machine stitching and some shimmery white embossing paste.


I decorated my card with some leftover felt flowers and elements from the amazing "For the Love of Felt" kit. These are truly stunning and make any card look fabulous.  My cards use almost all the rainbow colours in a watercolour wash background. blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and I added purple using cardstock sprigs in the floral arrangement.

These beautiful In Colours are only available until June. They are strong and vibrant but also look fabulous with the dilution of watercolouring. They are just happy colours. Be sure to add them to your supplies. 
There are plenty of card kits in the Annual Catalogue. In these times of isolation they are the perfect activity for some togetherness and connection. Maybe now is the time to introduce stamping to some of your friends or family who haven't had time to do much craft in the past.You can purchase any of these by clicking on the images in the supply list below, or just drop me a line and I can help you.


I have a pastel version also which I will post tomorrow.

Next this week is the amazing Nikki Spencer, I always love her projects.


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.

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 ...
