Yesterday Stampin' Up! debuted their new Chalkboard Paper and Chalk Ink Pads. This was my first attempt at using the new Chalkboard Paper and the […]

Last night I held my first Sale-a-bration launch event at Herriots hotel in Skipton, it was so nice to catch up with my lovely ladies to share with them the new Spring/summer catalogue and of course to show them the FREEBIES that they can earn during Sale-a-bration!

Most popular stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration mini catalog? I definitely think it's Lotus Blossom stamp set (139143). I know it's been the favorite in my orders so far so far this month! Why is it so popular? Easy. Because it's gorgeous. The image is actually created with three separate…

I loved this stamp set because I knew I would be able to make a heap of clean & simple designs with it. It is called “Botanicals For You” and will be available tomorrow! :) You can’t see it in the image very well but the flowers are embossed with gold and silver. Looks beautiful in real life!

I hope you are not getting tired of seeing more samples with the Adventure Bound DSP yet because I am really having fun with it. For the card below I colored the buttons I made with the Simply Pressed Clay to match the card stock and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Add a little sentiment and a sparkly red heart and voilà. I really like how the barn window that reflects the tree scenery turned out. For the pennants I used the Burlap ribbon and attached some hearts that I punched with the Hearts Border Punch. For the window I used the Window Sheets to make it look more realistic. This card would work well for Valentine's Day, a wedding or just to say HI.

I have a sneak peek share for you today… you've probably already seen this AMAZING stamp set in the Sale a Bration catalog.. right!? It's called Lotus Blossom and you can find it on pg 7 of the Sale a Bration 2015 brochure, and see pretty samples of it on pgs 6 and 7. […]

I'm taking a break from Christmas cards today, 'cause I got my Occasions mini/Sale-a-Bration preorder on Monday afternoon and I wanted to play with some new goodies. Behold! Meet Lotus Blossom, a new SAB stamp set available for free with a $50 purchase starting in January. Unless you're a demonstrator like me, in which case it's available now for those of us with instant gratification issues. It's a photopolymer set and the flowers are comprised of 3 different stamps; I didn't line them up completely right but it's pretty close even without the Stamp-a-Ma-Jig. I admit, I had some trouble with this card because I *didn't* start with a sketch challenge. I just cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock and kinda went with it from there and had to figure out everything as I went. But I did use the color combination from The Color Throwdown: I interpreted this as Mossy Meadow, Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, and Baked Brown Sugar. Coulda been Christmasy, but I chose not :) Thanks for stopping by today, peeps! Supplies, all SU! Stamps: Lotus Blossom Ink: Strawberry Slush, Blushing Bride, Mossy Meadow, Baked Brown Sugar Paper: Strawberry Slush, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White, All Abloom DSP Stack Accessories: Fancy Fan EF, Dimensionals

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop for Febraury 2016, we have the great pleasure to have Patty Bennett as special guest. This month our theme is "Inspired by Patty", our task - to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) one of Patty's projects. I absolutely adore the Flowering Fields stamp set, so the project below was my call to CASE: I love how Patty has combined stamping and Designer Series paper, separating the elements with the ribbon or washi tape. Here is my Patty inspired project: My project features 2 of the amazing Sale-a-Bration products, Flowering Fields Stamp set and Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper. I used Basic Black Archival to stamp the images and Aqua Painters to colour - I had a burst of inspiration and created a 2nd card! Can you see the Wink of Stella on the water colouring? It has an amazing shimmer in real life, but is a tad difficult to photograph! The sentiments are from the One Big Meaning set available in the Annual Catalogue. I would love it if you could pin my cards! Thank you so much to Patty Bennett for your time and inspiration.
