CI#161 Simply Zinnias- fresh and colourful thankyou cards.

Well what a lovely colour combination this turned out to be!

I wasn't sure how the bright pink and the muted pink would go together but I love it.

And can you spot the new stampset - Simply Zinnias is an online exclusive product which just became available. It's such an easy set to work with.

The embossing folder is just so detailed it's a real pleasure to use.

of course I always decorate the inside too.

so bright and cheerful.

I was having such a great time creating with these colours that I made 2 cards.

For this one I stamped in Moody Mauve and coloured over some of the petals with Melon Mambo.

The Flowering Zinnias suite is so beautiful, and so easy to use I can highly recommend it.

I love to decorate the inside too.

I hope you get a chance to join in with this week's colour combination. It's a beauty.

Then share your card with us at our Facebook group.

It's a big week this week with the annual Stampin Up! event happening in Melbourne. For the first time I will not be attending, but I have lots of friends who will be there checking out what's coming with the new catalogue at the end of April.

In the meantime you can see what else is new along wiht the Zinnias suite by clicking on the following link for the Online exclusives - none of these products will be in any printed catalogue.

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

"don't just post online,

post something pretty!"

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 ...
