CI#112 Colour INKspiration "Blessings of Home" sneak peak #3

It's another Colour INKspiration challenge and this week's colours are gorgeous together. I love the Inspiration pic and I was hoping to create a gum leaf scene but time has run away from me so instead I am sharing a card I made using a new set coming in the January Mini Catalogue. It's called Blessings of Home and is a set we used at a recent virtual "Onstage" Stampin Up! event for demonstrators. The stamp set comes with coordinating dies, some  beautiful papers which make it so easy to use.

Here I have stamped the large floral spray onto Crumb Cake cardstock ( I know- should have been Gray Granite!) and coloured with Watercolour Pencils. It's a subtle and delicate look. I teamed it with the bright striped DSP and softened that with a strip of dry embossed vellum. I did use a stronger green than Mint Macaron, so while not strictly the colours it still follows " "the vibe" of the inspiration pic. We'd love you to do the same and share your creations with us on our Facebook page.
  



I was having such a relaxing time colouring in that I made a few more, this one is also in the same tones. I can't wait to show you the set when it is available. Of course if you would like to own it now you can join my team of demonstrators and select it in your starter kit.


There are 2 packs of Watercolour Pencils

The original set of 12 + white

and the Supplementary set of 10

SO relaxing to use.


The Pattern Party DSP is a massive stack of 48 pages of 12x12 paper for $31 which you can purchase with stampin rewards - earn these when you host a party or your order is over $250 dollars. Each page is coloured on one side and Black/white on the reverse. It's a very versatile stack.

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

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#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...
