An Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator
This week at Retro Rubber we have a theme challenge for you. Create a summer themed card, using at least one stamp that's a year or more old. Don't forget to tell us how old your retro stamp is. Since today is a cold and miserable winter's day, the prospect of writing up a summery card is quite appealing! For me, summer means long days at the beach. Beaches lead me to sea life and finally to Seaside Notions. This is one of my favourite sets from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue, so this stamp set is just a year old and I'm delighted that it is carrying over into the 2020-21 Catalogue. For this card, I masked off a strip of the card front and ink-blended Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana before spritzing it with water to lift some of the colour. Then I stamped the bubble stamp in Bermuda Bay over the top. Finally, I flicked a little clear Wink of Stella over the whole card front to create a watery background for the seahorses. I used Stamparatus to mirror stamp the seahorse so that I had one facing each way. They were silver embossed and coloured with Stampin' Blends. We'd love to see what you do with this challenge. You can see what the rest of the team have done and link up your entry at the Retro Rubber Challenge site. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas, get you catalogues and provide you with Stampin' Up products.

This afternoon I'm sharing with you the last of my run of Seaside Notions cards. I had so much fun creating all these cards, with the gorgeous colours and patterns in the Whale of A Time Designer Series Paper pack. These colours go so well together, don't they? I am particularly proud of the ribbon treatment on this card! I planned to custom-colour (with Stampin' Blends markers) some White Crinkled Seam Binding, but couldn't decide whether I wanted Balmy Blue or Granny Apple Green. So, I cut two equal lengths, coloured one in each Light Stampin' Blends colour, and tied them together. Pretty, don't you think?! Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card. They are all available to purchase from my online store, which you can access by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below. I would love for you to shop with me, if you live in Australia.

Hello hello & welcome! I'm excited to share my project for our first Just Add Ink challenge of 2020. Even more exciting, it's Just Add Ink's 10th anniversary and we're having a celebration themed blog hop to... celebrate! You may have arrived here from the lovely Rachael Lewsley's blog or some other way. Welcome! It's amazing to think Just Add Ink has been sharing creative inspiration for a decade - 488 challenges so far! Thanks so much to JAI founders, all past and present team members and challenge participants for sharing with us all. It's also my 5th anniversary as part of the JAI Design Team so that's a reason for me to celebrate too. Time flies! I hope you'll hop along with us and play along with the challenge to use the theme and image to make your own celebration project. You could even win a prize. See the Just Add Ink blog post along the hop for all the info you need. Here's my celebration hop project. I made a birthday card for a friend and SU teamie - birthdays are definitely a big cause for celebration in my book. I used some new to me stamps - Seaside Notions, Birch and Peaceful Moments, and used the colours and layout of the challenge image as my inspiration. I stamped all the images in basic gray on thick whisper white card, then coloured the sea elements with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. Colours are listed below. I mixed colours and shades to give lots more colour blending options. Change a sentiment - The stamp sentiment (from Peaceful Moments) says 'wishing you every happiness this special day will bring'. I wanted to remove the last section to better fit my card. To do this, I masked off the bottom line with some washi, inked up the sentiment then removed the washi before stamping it. Bonus - it perfectly fitted one of the Stitched Rectangle dies. Details Can you see the subtle water-like detail on the centre stitched rectangle panel? (Click on the pics for a bigger view). I stamped the Birch background stamp with pool party ink then used sponge brayer to add a graduated colour layer - also with pool party. It's popped up with dimensionals and there's also a layer of soft sea foam and pool party card behind it. I've also embossed the front and centre front panels with mt fave Subtle 3d embossing folder. The old style Subtle dynamic folder - which has exactly the same pattern - is currently on the Clearance Rack (Aus) for just $10.20 so if you don't have it, get it now before stocks run out. I've listed both models below. Inside I've used the Birch stamp again - this time in sponged on Sahara Sand ink - with random lines of pool party Stampin' Blends on top. The sentiment is from Peaceful Moments & the little sea shell is also from Seaside Notions. To finish it off, some of my fave sequins from the Woven Threads sequin pack - to give the look of little air bubbles and of course clear Wink of Stella (which I added after pics). Well that's it from me for the hop. Thanks for visiting and hopping along with us all. I hope you enjoyed seeing my card & got some ideas to try. All the supplies I've used are listed below. Remember to pin my project on Pinterest before you hop on too. Next up on our Just Add Ink Celebration blog hop is the fabulous Narelle Farrugia with a card you're sure to love.

It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge at CASology. This week's cue word is WAVE. I decided to look through my embossing folders to see if I had any that would fit that theme and was surprised to find 3 of them. I stamped my starfish in different colours and paired them up with different "seaweed" looking dies. The sand stamp is an old wood mounted stamp from South Africa and is about 25 years old!! I added some white Liquid Pearls to give more dimension to the starfish. Which colour and embossing folder do you prefer? It would be a wonderful if you popped along to visit the rest of the Design Team and gave them a wave too.

Today I am sharing the BONUS card my In-Color club members are receiving their first month of club. Each club member gets the card and the printable pdf tutorial to re-create it on their own along with their club goodies.
Not sure who designed the card on the right. I found it on Pinterest, but the image doesn't go to any particular website. So... if this card is yours.... thanks for your inspiration! I really liked the colors and the layout, so I created one for myself. I used Stampin' Blends markers to color in the image. Light and Dark Cherry Cobbler for the roses, Light Cherry Cobbler and Dark Flirty Flamingo for the rosettes, and Light and Dark Mossy Meadow on the leaves. Thanks for stopping by! Supplies Used: Stamp Sets - Petal Palette, Seaside Notions Ink - Memento, Stampin' Blends (Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Flirty Flamingo) Paper - Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White Accessories - Die-Cut/Emboss Machine, Petals and More Dies, glue dots
