Happy Holidays Crafty Friends! I am here to share some of the fabulous products from the Occasions catalog & the Lily Impressions DSP that you can earn for free with the 2020 Saleabration promotion! I am a huge fan of beautiful paper & WOW is this one amazing! I really wanted to have it be the star of the show so I accented it with the scallop frame die cut from the new Stitched So Sweetly die set. To give the background a bit of a watercolor look I did some tone on tone stamping with Gorgeous Grape and the stamp from Painted Poppies. The sentiments from the Perfectly Framed stamp set are so beautiful & worked perfectly with this card. Listed below are the links to all the products I used & they will all be available January 3rd.

I love Paris. When I was in high school it was my dream destination and I still have the coffee table book my Mum bought for me when I left high school to inspire me to travel there. It might have taken a while to get there, but I have now been twice. Once with family and once with a girlfriend, so very different looks at the city. It definitely still holds it magic for me. That's why I was so excited when Stampin' Up! released the Parisian Blossoms Suite in the 2020 January to June Mini Catalogue. It's a...

Goedemorgen. Ik wens al mijn blogvolgers en lezers van mijn blogberichten een fijn, creatief en vooral gezond 2020! Zelf bruis ik van inspiratie en ik hoop dan ook dat ik al mijn ideeën uit kan voeren en dit jaar veel kan laten zien hier op mijn blog, op mijn facebookpagina en op mijn instagram-account. Laten we beginnen met dit kaartje, waarop ik zowel papier als een stempelset gebruikt heb die allebei gratis mee te bestellen zijn gedurende de Sale-a-Bration van Stampin' Up! Het papier bestel je al mee bij een bestelling vanaf €60, de stempelset kun je gratis mee bestellen bij een bestelling of partybedrag vanaf €375. Meer info? Laat het me gerust en uiteraard geheel vrijblijvend weten. De vleugeltjes heb ik bewerkt met een laagje Wink of Stella. Dat is op de foto niet zo duidelijk te zien. Ik denk dat wanneer je op de foto klikt, het iets beter te zien is. Overmorgen doe ik mee aan een bloghop met een aantal Nederlandse Stampin' Up! demonstratrices. In die bloghop zie je nog veel meer nieuwe producten uit de minicatalogus (voorheen: voorjaarscatalogus) en SAB-gids voorbij komen. Kom je ook gezellig kijken?

Good Day Crafty Friends Welcome to a special Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. We are super excited to be able to bring you a Hop full of fabulous creations using items that are available during the 2020 Sale-A-Bration Promotion. Sale-A-Bration pre-earn is finally here!

One of the stamp sets that can be earned FREE with any $90AUD purchase during Sale-A-Bration is "The Gang's All Meer" Stamp Set", which I had the pleasure of working with for today's Blog Hop. Let me show you how to create the "shadow effect" that is the focal point of my card. Gather the supplies: Stamp Set of choice, Shimmery White Card, Inks you wish to use for your sunset colours, sponges and a Black Stampin' Write marker. Start by punching a circle from a Post It Note and place it onto centre of the Shimmery White Card. Sponge sunset colours - Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove, Flirty Flamingo. Once you have the sponged the sunset, remove the Post It note and then stamp chosen image, ensuring a portion appears in the "sun" area. Now, take a Black Stampin' Write marker and fill in the stamped image. I used the brush tip to fill the main portion of the image and then the fine tip to trace the edges of the stamped image. Using the brush tip end of the marker, I have coloured the base of the card front and then stamped the Palm tree image from the new Timeless Tropical stamp set. Need more inspiration with the uber cute Meerkats? Here are two creations I previously shared on Instagram. Using the Cacti, Lizard and Party Hat stamps, I have stamped and coloured the images on a piece of Whisper White card and then die cut with the Rectangle Stitched dies along with the Granny Apple Green card behind. The Meerkat Gang has been stamped in Memento, colouring using Stampin' Blends and then fussy cut. The "Happy Birthday" greeting was created using the Well Said Stamp Set, white heat embossing the two sentiments onto Black card. For the next card I created a sunset sponged background, stamped it with the "gang of Meerkats" and inserted it behind a "photo frame" made from Whisper White card that has been embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder. The Meerkat images were coloured with Stampin' Blends, fussy cut and adhered with mini dimensionals over the stamped image inside the frame. I couldn't resist adding the line of lizards along the bottom of the photo frame which were also coloured with Blends, fussy cut and adhered with mini dimensionals. That is all from me today. Up next in this months Blog Hop is my super talented friend, Jennifer Picard with her stunning project which I am sure you will totally love.

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we're having a "Sketch Pad" challenge #263. For today's Sketch Pad card - I actually had another card ready to go. But at the last minute, I changed my mind and made a different card using the new Sale-a-Bration Heartfelt Blooms stamp set. The Heartfelt Blooms stamp set is free with a $50 order. It's one of those "all-in-one" stamp sets. One large image and 3 different greetings. The greetings are a mix of font styles - which is very appealing to me! Here's what I came up with...turning the sketch...

Hello and Happy Hump Day! I'm back with another Design Team card for The Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #PCC368! Today's sketch was a fun chance to use the beautiful Sale-a-Bration Freebies.... Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set, Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper, and the Lily Pad Dies! I absolutely adore this gorgeous Lily Impressions DSP! It has the most gorgeous images and colors! I used Pretty Peacock as my cardbase color and Flirty Flamingo to matt my layers of DSP. Both sides of the same sheet of paper were used in this card. Side A was used for the background panel and side B for the stitched square panel. The Lovely Lily Pad stamps were stamped with Versamark onto Thick Whisper White Cardstock and heat embossed in White. I used an ink blending tool to blend the Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green Ink onto the stamped images and used the coordinating dies to cut the images out. I added a little darker pink Stampin' Blend marker to some of the ink blended areas to add a little contrast. This card is so pretty and was really easy to create! Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings, Tina

This pack of vellum can be your free gift selection with your $50 online order during Sale-a-Bration 2020, while supplies last! The Tags in Bloom set can be your free gift selection with your $100

Hello stampers! If you grew up in the eighties like me, chances are that you know Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh. I really do love this song and I also love the colour red. No surprise then that I chose to highlight the colour red in my creations using the Parisian Blossoms suite. Cherry cobbler to be specific, but Lady in Cherry Cobbler doesn't sound quite as catchy, more like a gluttonous mini person caught in a dessert pan! Some More Cards I do love this card so much with it's luscious red flowers. Combining

Hello there and welcome to 2020 on the blog! The Just Add Ink team are kicking off the new year with our annual blog hop. It is extra special this year as we are celebrating 10 years and 1000 followers for the Just Add Ink challenges! You may have come from Denita's blog, be starting the blog hop here on my blog, or you can go to Just Add Ink, and then follow the links at the end of each team members blog post on to the next. This year the theme is very appropriately 'Celebrate!'. So many joyful occasions can fall under that theme. For me the first big family event of the year is my daughters birthday, so birthday card it is. I had a blogging break at the end of the last year, and was a bit worried I might be rusty, but the sheer enjoyment of playing with new stuff (TimelessTropical in particular, which ironically was not my first pick from the new SU! mini catalogue) and colouring made putting this card together easier than expected. It really is all about the colouring! I stamped my images in a very light ink and then used SU! Blends (alcohol markers) to no line colour the flowers. I should really have taken step-by-step photos as for most of the process honestly they look pretty ordinary and then at the end the multiple layers of ink, blend and end up looking finished. So my best tip for alcohol marker colouring is to persist and keep adding layers of colour and contrast. Jan McQueen is next on the blog hop, so please go on and check out her fantastic project, and then to the rest of the team. Then come back and join in the challenge we'd love to see your 'Celebrate' project.
