Colour Creations Showcase Week 48: So Saffron

Hello friends. I'm finding myself with a little more creative time at the moment, so I am excited to be able to participate in some of the creative challenges with my Art with Heart team girls. This week's colour challenge is So Saffron, a very muted yellow and to be honest not one I have created with much in the last year. 

Here is my card. I chose to use the beautiful new Hand-Penned Petals bundle. By stamping off (stamping once on scrap paper and then onto your card without reinking) the Polished Pink and Soft Succulent once each, I came up with a soft colour combination using So Saffron.

Here's the colour combination if you want to Pin It for future reference.

One of the things I LOVE about this new bundle is it's designed for the stamping to be imperfect! I love the fresh vintage look you get when you stamp the solid colours for the leaves and flowers, and they don't quite fit perfectly. This really suits my style of stamping. I stamped the flowers and the sentiment in Basic Gray to tie in with the softer colour combination.

I have used the scalloped edge die from the coordinating Penned Flower Dies to create the left side edging. The flowers are two of the largest flower bunch, placed together. Here's a look at the Hand-Penned suite. You can buy the suite together (which includes 10% discount on the bundle), the bundle with a 10% discount, or individual components of the suite. All the product links for today's project are at the end of the post. 

I have used a couple of other new products on my card too. My sentiment is from a great new stamp set with 11 sentiments, called Inspired Thoughts. I really love the font in this set. I have also used a great new die set called Encirled in Beauty, and there is just a peek of one of the decorative circle shapes poppng out unter the sentiment. This is going to be one of my favourite die sets for sure.

Here's a look at these two products (links at the end of the post will take you to these products in my online store). First the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set.

These are the new Encircled in Beauty Dies. The largest die in the set is 9.8 x 9.8cm, so they are perfectly sized for card fronts.

Thinking of You card using Touch of Ink stamp set from Saleabration and new Double Oval Punch

Hello friends. Today I have a new 2021 Stampin Up card idea featuring the two step stamping technique, two new Saleabration products you can earn for FREE during January and February, and a brand new Stampin' Up! punch available for purchase. It's called the Double Oval Punch and is going to be a graet addition to your punch collection..

The Saleabration items I have used on this card are the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper Pack (free with a $90+ order during January and February), and the A Touch of Ink stamp set (free with a $180 + order in Australia during January and February). 

I love the messy look of the two step stamping technique in this set. I have use Flirty Flamingo (stamped off once) for the flower, and Just Jade (also stamped off once) for the Hummingbird. The solid layer of the two step stamping has some great texture to it and is designed to not be a perfect fit. Love sets like that. The outline image can also be used to colour as well, ao it's a really versatile set. Some great sentiments too. You can choose this set as a free Saleabration gift choice with an order of $180+ in January or February.

I have also used the brand NEW Double Oval Punch which debuted in the 2021 January to June Mini Catalogue. It punches both the sentiment label and the outer scalloped shape in the one punch - much better than two separate punches. It's a great size for many sentiments too, including the ones in the Touch of Ink stamp set.

 

The Double Oval Punch is definitely a GREAT versatile punch to add to your collection.

 

It's also available as a bundle with a new 2021 stamp set called Oval Occasions. You can save 10% on both the stamp set and the punch by purchasing them together as a bundle.

I really love the Flower & Field patterned paper pack I have used on this card too. The dark florals are a really great contrast to lighter colours and it has 12 great coordinating colours including Bumblebee, Flirty Flamingo, Cherry Cobbler, Granny Apple Green. Just Jade, Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Spruce and So Saffron. This paper is only available in January and February and you can earn it free during Saleabration with a $90 order.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Congratulations from Occasions 2018.

Today I am showcasing the new Stampin' Up! Amazing Congratulations stamp set from the 2018 Occasions Catalogue which started today.

This set is perfect for a range of different congratulations cards - a new baby, a wedding, pregnancy news, work promotion, sporting or community achievement and much more. My cards are to congratulate some team members on their promotions and achievements - I need lots of these as a leader of a big active team.

I love the double and triple stamping options with this card, and the many different sentiments. This will be a great set to use with the Stamparatus, although I made these cards before mine arrived.

They are very simple, but the two tone word adds a little wow to the card. I have used a combination of Berry Burst and Calypso Coral for the first card, and Lemon Lime Twist with Tranquil Tide for the second card.

Here's a closer look at this versatile stamp set. See it HERE in my online store.

Stampin' Up! New Catalogue Sneak Peek: Fabulous Flamingo

Had a fun day stamping with a couple of friends last week, and got to play with a new soon to be released Stampin' Up! stamp set called Fabulous Flamingo. It will be in the new 2017/18 Annual Catalogue which I am distributing to my customers this month (click HERE to see how to get yours).

I'm not sure where my love affair with Flamingos began, but I totally love them. I haven't seen many in real like, but they are so graceful in pictures and they seem to be very on trend in beach wear, clothing, stationery etc.

This is the second Flamingo themed set we have (the other being Pop of Paradise which is more of a solid stamp). I really like that this new one has many different options, with three layers to the stamp. I have stamped the darker pink in Flirty Flamingo ink (I find it works best to stamp that one first), the lighter pink is Pink Pirouette and the outline in black. My background layer and water is stamped in Smoky Slate.

 

What's Happening in May:

Enrolments now open for my Marker Club and Stamp at Home clubs - get extra products and monthly tutorials, all from the comfort of your own home. Be quick to sign up.
