Merry Patterns

Hi & Welcome,

This Merry Patterns stamp set (#144973) is still available but only till 31st October as a hostess gift with an order or workshop of $450. You still receive the normal hostess rewards, so this is an addition. It is a Christmas set but these candles can be used for all occasions.

I stamped the candles 3 times ( there are 6 candles on the stamp) using Island Indigo ink (#126986) for the outline. The other inks I used for the candles are Pool Party (#126982) and Crushed Curry (#131173). The flames were stamped with Pumpkin Pie (#126945). These photopolymer stamps make it so easy to do the 2 step stampin’. You could also use the Stamp-a-ma-jig (#101049) which I use anytime I need to get images in just the right place. Happy Birthday is from the Big On Birthdays stamp set (#p142877) and I used Pool Party ink. The base card is Pool Party (#124391) and the cardfront is Whisper White (#106549). I added some gold Washi Tape from the Year Of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape (#144644) along the bottom of the card.

Have a great weekend.

Eastern Medallions Thinlits

Welcome friends,

I love the vibrant colour of the Lemon Lime Twist and I have paired it with Night Of Navy which works well together.

The cardstock is Lemon Lime Twist (#144250) amd Night Of Navy (#106577), with Very Vanilla for the sentiment. The Designer Series Paper is from the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper (#144147). For the medallion I adhered a Eastern Gold Vinyl Sticker (#144150) to a piece of Night Of Navy card, then this was cut with the co-ordinating die from the Eastern Medallions Thinlits (#143725). The gold border is also from the Eastern stickers. I attached the medallion to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430), then added 2 pieces of the 5/8” Burlap Ribbon (#141487) with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Thinking Of You is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set (#p143726) and stamped with Night Of Navy Ink (#126970). I used the die from the Bunch Of Banners Framelits (#141488) for the sentiment and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attached this to the card.

Have a great day.

Musical Instruments Framelits

Hi everyone,

The Musical Instruments Framelits (#144677) have been used to cut the French Horn & the Treble Clefs. These framelits are part of the Musical Season Bundle (#c146049, #w146048) with the Musical Season stamp set (#c144811, #w144814).

I stamped the border flourish from the Musical Seasons stamp set using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). Happy Birthday is from the Guy Greetings stamp set (#c138828, #w138825, #p137178), stamped with Memento ink, then cut with one of the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Treble Clefs were cut from Basic Black card (#121688) and I used Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) for the French Horn. The treble clefs were glued with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) and for the French Horn I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The base card is Basic Black and the card front is Whisper White (#106549). I added some Black Rhinestone Jewels (#144639) to the card.

Do you get frustrated when you are almost finished a card and find a mark that shouldn’t be there. Well that happened on this card but I was able to hide the mark with one of the Rhinestone Jewels. I love it when it can be fixed easily.

That’s all for today.

Stampin' Blends

Hello,

The new Stampin' Blender pens will be available for purchase on 1st November. This is the first chance I have had to do any blending with them. I know I am not very good at shading but was reasonably pleased with my first attempt, but will still need lots of practice.

I stamped the flower onto A4 Whisper White Thick cardstock (#140490) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The rose was coloured with the dark and light Daffodil Delight and the leaves with dark and light Old Olive. For You is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set (#c140658, #w140655) and also stamped with the Memento ink. The base card is Daffodil Delight (#121680), I sponged around the white card with Daffodil Delight ink (#126944), then added some sequins from the Iredescent Sequin Assortment (#144212).

Enjoy your day.

Musical Instruments Framelits Dies

Hello & welcome,

This French horn is from the Musical Instruments Framelits Dies (#144677) and can also be purchased in a bundle (#c146049, #w146048) with the Musical Season stamp set (#c144811, #w144814). This set would be suitable for Christmas or any occasion, especially for those who are musical.

The leaves are from the Musical Season stamp set and these were coloured with the new Stampin' Blends which will be available to purchase from the 1st November. These alcohol markers come in a range of Stampin' Up! colours, each with a dark and light shade. These markers make it so easy to blend colours and create beautiful works of art. These leaves and berries were very easy to colour, with very little blending. I used Old Olive for the leaves and Cherry Cobbler for the berries. There is a die to cut these leaves in the Musical Instruments Framelits. I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Whisper White card (#106549). The Designer Series Paper is Merry Music Specialty DSP (#144623) and the Washi Tape is from the Year Of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape (#144644). For the French horn and one of the circles I used Copper Foil Sheet (#142020). The base card and small circle is Old Olive card (#106576) and Whisper White were used for the other 2 circles. I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372) and the Layering Circles Framelits (#141705) to cut the circles. For You, from the Birthday Blooms stamp set (#c140658, #w140655) was stamped with the Memento ink. The sentiment and French horn were attached to the card with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (#144108).

The Stampin' Blends come in 12 of the Stampin' Up! colours as well as a Bronze, Ivory and a colour lifter which is used to remove colour,  so easy to "erase" a small mistake. The Tuxedo Black Memento ink is the best ink to use with the blender pens to avoid the ink bleeding, and Whisper White Thick card (#140490) is also recommended.

I'm looking forward to "playing" with these Stampin' Blends.
