Saleabration 2021: Touch of Ink Stamp Set and Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper

December 23, 2020

Hello lovely friends. Today I am using 2 NEW upcoming Stampin' Up! 2021 Saleabration products: Touch of Ink stamp set and the Oh So Ombre Designer Series paper. The best news is that you can earn both of these products for FREE with qualifying purchases during the saleabration promotion from January 5th to February 28th 2021. First, lets have a look at my card using both of these new products.

I have used the butterfly image from the Touch of Ink stamp set. In addition to the butterfly, there is a Hummingbird and some lovely flowers and foliage, plus versatile sentiments and some two step stamping too. There is LOTS in this stamp set and I think you will love it. This stamp set can be earned for free with a $180 order during Saleabration (5th January to 28th February).

You can also colour the line images with Stampin' Blends or watercolouring. I chose bright and bold colours of Stampin' Blends today. My colours are Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss and Granny Apple Green.

I've used one of the Greenery Embossing folders to emboss a piece of the Oh So Ombre paper (I adhered it to a piece of cardstock with multipurpose glue first).

The Oh So Ombre Designer Paper is also a free Saleabration choice. You get 48 sheets of 6x6" sheets, that's 12 each in 4 colours with patterns and just plain ombre in colours of Blushing Bride, Blackberry Bliss, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay. I can see this will be a really versatile paper.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card. If you are in Australia and don't have a regular demonstrator to get the Saleabration Brochure and the NEW 2020 January to June Mini Catalogue from, you can give me your details HERE to get them mailed out.

Stampin' Up! NEW 2021 Baby Pull Toys Stamp Set and Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper

December 19, 2020

Stampin' Up! have a fabulous new stamp set for baby cards coming out with the start of the 2021 January to June Mini Catalogue and Saleabration. It's called Baby Pull Toys. In this baby girl handmade card, I have combined it with the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper. This is one of the paper packs which can be earned for FREE during Saleabration.

The animals are very cute, and it has a range of great sentiments perfect for baby boy or girl cards including the popular 'it's a girl' and 'it's a boy' sentiments.

For this card I coloured the image with Stampin' Blends. I used light and dark Smoky Slate and light Rococo Rose. I also used the Blender Pen to remove some of the colour and to blend out the light Smoky Slate.

For the paper strips on the card, I have used the lovely Saleabration paper pack called Paper Blooms. It has 12 double sided sheets (all 12x12") and has lots of fun patterns and colours. You can earn this paper pack for FREE with a $90+ order during Saleabration which is on between January 5th and February 28th (request a brochure about this special promotion HERE).

Handmade 2020 Christmas Wood Slice Ornaments using Stampin' Up! products.

November 11, 2020

Hello craft people. I have something a bit different for you today. I made these hand stamped wood slice Cjristmas ornaments using Stampin Up products, and I have a video tutorial to show you how I made them. I have also included a supply list, and where to buy the wood slices if you are in Australia.

I love how these turned out. I have used the Wishes and Wonder stamp set, and In the Pines stamp set (both from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue) with some colouring and masking to make them. I love the handmade farmhouse style of these DIY ornaments!

I've made a video tutorial to show you how this one is made.

Video Tutorial

Here's a closer look at the one that I painted with acrylic paint first.

Here's a closer look at the embellishments I chose for each ornament. I wanted this one to be gold and sparkly.

For this one I wanted a more neutral effect, so I used linen thread and Very Vanilla scalloped lace with the jingle bells (all available in my online store - see links at the end of the post).

Where did I get my supplies?

For the Stampin' Up! products I used to stamp, colour and embellish, you can find the product links to my online store at the end of the post.
I got the sealant and acryic paint at my local hardware store in the craft aisle.
I got my wood slices from a local to me supplier, in the Yarra Valley of Victoria Australia. I was really happy with the smooth sanding and quality of their products, packaging and quick delivery (and I love to shop local), which means I am happy to recommend them for those of you who live in Australia. They are called Stringybark Supplies and they have many different sizes and options at a good price for the great quality.

I hope you enjoy making you own hand stamped wood slice ornaments. I intend to write a little message on the back and gift them (I love the tradition of gifting ornaments). They would be great for market stalls too.

Stampin' Up! Under My Umbrella stamp set coloured with Stampin' Blends. Video Tutorial.

October 06, 2020

Hello stamping friends.

Today I have a card idea for friends. My stamp set is Under My Umbrella from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue, and it has a coordinating punch. I have coloured the images with Stampin' Blends and have used a little sponging too. It's going to rain a bit this week in Melbourne (I actually love listening to the rain though, and it's great for the garden too) so this is an appropriate stamp set for sure.

I've put together a video for you showing the techniques I used to colour and blend with Stampin' Blends, and how to make the easy cloud background.

My colour palette was nice an bright and featured two of the Stampin' Up! 2020-22 InColours.

The cloud effect is super easy to make, and you don't need anything special. I show you how in the video.

I hope today's card has bought a smile to your face. I know the 'Under My Umbrella' stamp set brings a smile to my face! Here's a closer look at a couple of the products.

Here is the Under My Umbrella Stamp Set($28).

Next up we have the coordinating Umbrella Builder Punch ($31). Punches make creating so easy don't you think? Especially when they perfectly coordinate with stamp sets.

There's also another gorgeous stamp set called Pretty Parasole, that coordinates with the Umbrella Builder Punch. This stamp set is only $28.00 too.

Stampin' Up! Prized Peony Birthday Card coloured with Stampin' Blends

August 26, 2020

Hey friends,

Back with a birthday card today, using the beautiful Prized Peony stamp set coloured with Stampin' Blends.

I didn't catch the light terribly well onto the card front on the full photo, so this one is probably a better indication of true colour.

I have use Purple Posy and Highland Heather combos for my Stampin' Blends colours and Crumb Cake for my base card and layers. Isn't that Dainty Diamonds embossing folder pretty?

I've also made a YouTube video to show you how I went about colouring the Peony. I hope you like it!
