2017/2018 New Catalogue - My Favourite Things!!!!

I made this card for our friends that kindly allowed us to stay with them in London. I had ALOT of fun making this card. Added to that, I used some colours that I don't recall EVER using (Wild Wasabi).

Its a photopolymer set, so lining up the coloured portion of the stamp with the outline portion of the stamp is easy. And, as you will see, there are some of the buildings that are misaligned - I call it a 'design feature!'


I used a heap of scrap pieces of white card stock I had lying around and stamped buildings in different colours. I then 'fussy cut' and stuck them down using dimensionals on a piece of paper from the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper stack.


To cover some of the empty spots, I stamped some cars and trees and stuck them down.


Finally, I white embossed the sentiment on a strip of Dapper Denim and mounted this element on a Dapper Denim card base.

I had an enjoyable time making this card. Do you have this set yet? If not, you MUST get it. It is not available to purchase, but valued at $47, it can be earned for less. If you live in Australia, click here to ask us how.....

Project 1

I firstly started off with a layer of the 'skeleton' leaves stamped in Old Olive. Then, over the top of those, I stamped a layer of the 'Canada' leaves in Crushed Curry.


Don't you love the beautiful delicate framelits? I have a feeling I will be using these alot. I cut three of these out and stuck down with the fine-tip glue pen.

I then stamped the sentiment with Versamark and white embossed on a piece of Sahara Sand. I added a strip of the new Mini-Chevron Ribbon and mounted the sentiment over this.

Project 2

Next month, we are off to Thailand on vacation which I am VERY much looking forward to. This isn't just ANY trip - it is an all expenses paid incentive trip from Stampin' Up! which Kylie earned (she has already earned the NEXT incentive trip to Alaska). This trip is just going to be to RELAX. We have been to Thailand before and seen many of the sights in Phuket so we are truly just going to try to take it easy and relax in the sunshine .... by the pool ..... with a cocktail.


Do you like the sentiment? It is from the Colour Theory Pack from Stampin' Up! new memory keeping line called Memories and More. Want to learn more about Memories and More? Here is a short video for you to watch.

Hi Readers - I hope this post finds you well. Im having a share in a new blog hop today and Im excited to share the projects with you.

All of the participants are using one bundle to show its versatility. And, this week, the bundle is 'Lovely Friends.' Until June 1, this bundle is available only for purchase to demonstrators.

Here is a picture I took of the display board at the recent OnStage Event where this new set was released.


And, here is the stamp set up close;


I made two projects using this stamp and here they are;

PROJECT 1

There are two SUPER large sentiments and some smaller sentiments and patterns. There are also some two-step stamping in this kit. I used one of them and stamped both times using one of the new in-colours called Lemon Lime Twist. Its probably supposed to be a flower, though I thought that it looks more like a pom-pom or a party decoration.


The sentiment is stamped with Tranquil Tide (also, one of the new InColours). I them stamped some of the 'pom poms' and punched them out and mounted using dimensionals for some depth and interest.


I them mounted this on a piece of Lemon Lime Twist and then again on Tranquil Tide.

PROJECT 2
Here is the second card I made;


I used two of the smaller stamps in the kit - the 'LOVE' stamp and one of the branches. I stamped using Early Espresso on Very Vanilla base. I then mounted a piece of Early Espresso and then over the top of this, I used a sheet from the Wood Textures DSP Stack.


I used Foam Adhesive strips to mount the two layers together.


FULL DISCLOSURE - I used the jewel embellishment to cover a mis-stamp (can you see it?). This card is as simple as it gets. But, I love the look of it and Im looking forward to replicating this with a number of sentiments and papers.
