Stampin' Up! Simply Sketched with Baked Brown Sugar

Hello friends. Today I have the third image from the Simply Sketched stamp set, one of the new hostess sets in the 2013 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue which is available now for sales beginning 2nd July (here's how to get your new catalogue).

The base card is Early Espresso, but the next layer is one of the new 2013 In Colours Baked Brown Sugar. I deferred to the Stampin'  Up! Colour Coach (updated for the 2013 Stampin' Up! Colour Revision), which suggested Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green as a good combination to use with Baked Brown Sugar. I quite like the result and think this image could even be used as a Christmas image.

I have used the Very Vintage wheel (in Baked Brown Sugar ink), as well as DSP from the new Modern Medley pack (this years replacement for the First Edition DSP). You will also spy some of the new Chevrom ribbon we have in this catalogue. I snaffled this piece from the wrapping on my gift at Managers Reception from Convention.

Be back soon with some more inspiration.

Another Stampin' Up! Simply Sketched creation ....

I told you I was loving this hostess set! Here is another image from the Simply Sketched Stamp set which you will find in the new 2013 Stampin' Up! Catalogue which goes on sale 2nd July (order yours here).

I have watercoloured the image using a Blender Pen, Strawberry Slush and Old Olive ink pads. The DSP is a sheet from the the new Modern Medley pack which i can see will be a go to DSP for me this year (it's a full pack of Basic Black and Very Vanilla Designs - yumm!).

I hope you like today's card. If you would like to be able to order a hostess set withut hosting a party, check out my hostess clubs starting in July.

Have a fabulous weekend,

Claire

Stampin' Up! Simply Sketched

Hello friends,

Today I have a beautiful new stamp set from the 2013 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue called Simply Sketched. 

I have used one of the new 2013 In Colours, Baked Brown Sugar as the base of my card. I have stamped onto it using Early Espresso using one of the three gorgeous sentiments that match the 3 images in this set. The DSP on the right is from Quatrefancy Specialty, which is another new DSP and this colour is Coastal Cabana, another of the new 2013 In Colours. I have also used Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar to colour the image (using a Blender Pen). I have also used the Ovals Framelits and the Occasions Paper Piercing Pack.

I think this Simply Sketched stamp set set is going to be VERY popular! As it is a hostess set, you might be interested in knowing how you can get the hostess sets without hosting a party? The answer is my Stampin' Up!  Hostess Clubs.  The next one starts July ready for the release of the new catalogue.

I have a couple more new cards to post showcasing the brand new colours, so I'll be back soon. In the meantime, here's a quick run down of the current specials and offers:

Bordering on Romance (View it here in the Online Store)

Pretty Postage - 40% off - (View it here in the online store)

This is a perfect match for our postage stamp punch! The cute little images are also great to colour and use with markers. You get get this set for just a bit over $10!

 

Elements of Style - (View it here in the online store)

Totally LOVE this set to watercolour. The floral image is so beautiful, plus you get the beautiful matching images too. Beautiful stamp set with lots of detail to colour.

 

Perfect Punches - (View it here in the online store)

If you are after a versatile set that coordinates with punches, you cant go past this great greeting set. It matches with 5 of our current sets as well as the retired round tab punch.

First Convention Page ....

Each year I do some digital layouts of Convention. You can view past Conventions here. I like to focus on the people I spend time with, the team shots and the little things which make Convention special to me. 

Here's my first page for 2013 Convention. I love these grainy, less than perfect selfies I took which some favourite people I caught up with on the steps before a general session, along with a picture of my dear friend Sharon who was attending her first Convention.

To create this page, and for the other Convention pages I will do, I have used the digital This and That kit. I love the colours and distressed look of these papers and embellishments. You can check it out here in my online store.

I hope to get some more pages from Convention done soon.  

Have a great weekend,

Claire
