Poppy Party Day 3: Rococo Rose meets Stampin' Up! Painted Poppies Bundle

January 15, 2020

Hello friends, welcome to Day 3 of the Poppy Party where I showcase a different way to use the Stampin' Up! Painted Poppy bundle from the 2020 January to June mini catalogue.

Today I have created a pretty card using lots of layers, and some of the other dies in the bundle.

My base card colour is Rococo Rose, which I thinks works really well with this sheet of the Peaceful Poppies DSP. The stamping of the textured layer on the flowers has been stamped off once to give some variation in the tones on the card. The leaves are stamped in Old Olive onto Old Olive cardstock. To create some texture I have used one of my favourite embossing folders, the Subtle folder(yes again).

This time I have also used the two label dies in the Painted Labels Dies (part of the Painted Poppies bundle), along with the border die. These work really well layered and create some interest around the greeting. These would also work really well with lots of other stamp sets. My greeting is again from the Saleabration Level 1 Sending you Thoughts stamp set. You can choose this set free when you spend over $90 in one transaction during Saleabration. The sequins are from the Peaceful Poppies sequins pack (all products are linked at the end of the post).

In addition to being able to select a Saleabration level 1 gift with the purchase of this bundle anytime between 3rd January and 31st March, I am also offering a small gift with purchase to anyone who purchases it from me this week up to January 19th (anyone who has already purchased the bundle from me will also receive the bonus gift which will be sent out around 29th January. The bonus is some 1 piece of each of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper cut to 6x4" size (these make beautiful layers by themselves) and 1/4 pack of Peaceful Poppies elements. These are elements which coordinate with the Peaceful Poppies suite and are a mix of embossed on watercolour paper, embossed on black card, white printed on vellum and colour printed on glossy white card. These can be coloured and layered for additional card elements.

I would love to send you a pack, so grab your Painted Poppies bundle today. You will save 10%, get to choose a free Saleabration item and if you order by the 19th Jan, get my bonus too.

Colouring stamped images - August 2018 Art With Heart Monthly Blog Hop

August 23, 2018

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring stamp sets that you can colour in. We hope our blog hop inspires you to pick up some Stampin’ Write Markers, Watercolour Pencils, Stampin Blends or another form of colouring medium and colour in with your stamps. Don’t forget to contact any of the ladies on the blog hop to order any products, especially they limited edition colour your season products.

I have featured another Christmas card, as I just can't get enough of colouring the Christmas baubles with the Stampin' Blends. I have been going a bit crazy with colouring using the Blends lately, as I just love the depth of colour I am getting and the ease of the blending, They are great alcohol markers, and having them to coordinate with my Stampin' Up! colours is just a bonus.

The base card is Granny Apple Green, vibrant green that debuted this year in the Colour Revamp. Here re the Stampin' Blends Colours I have used to colour the bauble from Beautiful Baubles stamp set (coming on September 5th with the 2018 Holiday Catalogue):

Soft Sea Foam Light
Soft Sea Foam Dark
Pool Party Light
Pool Party Dark
Bermuda Bay Light
Granny Apple Green Light

Other products are the new Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder (coming in the Holiday Catalogue), and to mat the image I have used Coastal Cabana cardstock and Silver Glimmer paper. My image is stamped onto Thick Whisper White cardstock with Memento Black ink pad, with the greeting from the Beautiful Baubles set silver embossed.

It's now time to head onto the next person on the blog hop, the lovely Kate Morgan.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful You and Lemon Lime Twist with Embossing Paste

August 21, 2017

It was a grey drizzly day in Melbourne today (it's late winter here), so I needed a bright card to show you.

I think this one works! I find myself coming back often to use this happy image from the Beautiful You stamp set. It's applicable to so many different cards I think, but especially congratulations cards.

My colour combination is Lemon Lime Twist and Pacific Point. I added some texture to the Lemon Lime Twist layer by using some embossing paste coloured with Lemon Lime Twist re-inker, and then used the diamond mask from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks. My image is coloured using the watercolour pencils. I used a greeting for the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set which fits beautifully in the Classic Label Punch.

I hope you liked today's card! You can find links to all the products I have used below.

Using the Stampin' Up! Embossing Paste

July 06, 2017

I tried out the new embossing paste from the 2017 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue last weekend. There are 3 key products in this range:

The masks can be used for spongeing, but in this case when combined with the Embossing Paste and smoothed over with the Palette Knives, you get a lovely raised effect which adds dimension and texture to your papercraft projects. It's super simple to use (just make sure you have a plastic mat) and I was surprised how quickly it dried. I use my Silicone Craft Sheet to create colours by adding a drop or two of re-inker to 3/4 - 1 teaspoon of Embossing Paste (that usually covers a couple of cards. I use the Palette Knives to mix on the Silcone Craft Sheet. There's a video at the end of the post which shows how this is done.

Here's a closer look at the four mask patterns you get in the Party Patterns Decorative masks pack.

Here's two of the cards I made. For this one I have used 2 drops of Powder Pink ink refill in about 1 teaspoon of embossing paste, and then sprinkled some gold glitter randomly over the top (while the embossing paste was still wet) and shook off the excess.

My stamp set is Happy Birthday Gorgeous which is a new set 2017 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue. I love the funky font on this set and it has so many other great greetings. The paper is Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper.

For this second card I have used the cloud mask and 1 drop of Soft Sky re-inker in about 3/4 teaspoon of Embossing Paste. I love the effect this gives for clouds. I have used the Lift Me Up stamp set and Up & Away Thinlits to complete my card. This is a nice colour combination to use with the new InColour Powder Pink.

Here's a video showing you more about using the new Embossing Paste.

You can view all the products I have used today in the links at the end of the post, These are all available in my online Stampin' Up! store.
