Hello Stamper Friends, Tonight I have been working with the stamp set Inspiring Iris. This is going to be my Stamp Set of the month for Thursday, July 25 anytime between the hours of 2:00-8:00. Mark your calendars! Class Fee...

Zo, dat was me een hectisch weekje.... Fijn om 2 mooie Pinksterdagen te hebben om weer een beetje bij te komen en ook even een blogberichtje te schrijven. Heb jij in de nieuwe catalogus de nieuwe stempelset It Starts With Art al gespot? Er is een hele Suite van. D.w.z. een hele serie producten die bij elkaar passen. Je vindt hem hier. Ik vind de stempelset echt superleuk en maakte er deze hippe kaart mee. Zwart, wit en een kleurtje..... Ik hou ervan! Mocht je iets uit de nieuwe catalogus willen bestellen help ik je graag. Mijn eerst volgende verzamelbestelling staat maandag 17 juni gepland. Dat is niet de gebruikelijk vrijdag, omdat ik a.s. vrijdag in Praag zit. (-: Dus een paar daagjes later, maar dat overleven jullie vast. (In het weekend wordt er toch niets met je bestelling gedaan bij Stampin' Up!) Groetjes en een fijne dag nog, Margriet

I’m super excited to be sharing some of the brand new product from the Stampin’ Up 2018-2019 catalog! Inside the catalog you’ll find loads of new items like rubber stamps (wood an…

Hello and welcome, Today I will be sharing with you a card that I’ve created for the Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI55. We could choose three or more colours from the six given in the photo below. I’ve chosen Coastal Cabana, Grapefruit Grove, Flirty Flamingo and Smoky Slate for my card. I recently received some new Stampin’ Up! products from the Annual Catalogue for 2019 – 2020 as a Demonstrator we can order certain products before the Catalogue has been launched. Follow Your Art Suite which contains the following. It Starts With Art Stamp Set, coordinating Dies Arts & Crafts, Button Button Embossing Folder and this sweet Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit which I just love. I wanted to create my own lined paper, so I used a Stampin’ Blend in light Firty Flamingo and ruled lines across the Whisper White Cardstock. Then I embossed the Button Button Folder in Whisper White Cardstock. The pens, rolls of ribbon, ink refills and clip have been stamped in Stazon ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. With my Aqua Painter I used different colours that I had chosen and watercoloured them in. Have you seen the Stitched Nested Labels Dies? They are so good to use in my creatations and I just had to use two different sizes and stamped the sentiment. I like how you can create more layers to the card. Do you think you would buy this set? If you don’t have a Demonstrator and you would like a copy of the new catalogue. Please leave me a message. I'm going to be using theses products in a adults card class coming in June, so if you are interested in a class please let me know. Thank you for taking the time and visiting my blog today. Happy crafting. Vicki. Product List: Ink: Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, Grapefruit Grove and Smoky Slate Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Whisper White and Shimmery White. Stamp Set: It Starts With Art Colouring Tools: Stampin’ Blends light Flirty Flamingo, Aqua Painter and Stazon Jet Black. Dies: Stitched Nested labels and Arts & Crafts Other items: Big Shot, Button Button Embossing Folder and Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit.

I'm sure you have seen the retiring Stampin' Up! list (info here). You may or may not have noticed that my Ribbon of Courage stamp set is retiring! I was so honored to be the design inspiration for this set when I reached $1 million in personal sales with Stampin' Up! in 2015. But, sadly, Ribbon of Courage and several other $1 million achiever sets are on the retiring list this year. Here are a few of my favorite Ribbon of Courage samples and my video from a couple years ago explaining that this set was designed in honor of

Floral Essence is one of my FAVORITE stamp sets in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog! This is a stamp set that I received at the On Stage conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I couldn't wait to come home and play! When I was in Charlotte I received the new catalog. I looked at some of the sample cards for this stamp set in the catalog and created my card using a few of their ideas! One of the stamps in the set is an outline stamp. I used this on the top panel and then lightly sponged the center

Wow, you are all loving the Share What You Love Suite of products, aren’t you? The three different bundles being offered including FREE product are flying off the shelves!

July 12, 2019 I totally fell in love with this stamp set when I first saw it…Stampin’ Up Very Versailles. I just started layering the images and voila, it was done. I stamped the small …

Hello Crafty Friends, I am squeezing in a quick post today as I wanted to share a few creations made with the new Hostess Stamp Set - New Wonders. I am in love with the little fairy images!! OH M GEE!!! This stamp set will be available in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. What is a Hostess Stamp Set you ask, it's one of four sets that can be earned for free when you have a qualifying order over $250AUD. I normally am not overly attracted to the Hostess sets but this year I actually want all four!!! You can find all the information regarding qualifying orders, stamping rewards and hostess sets in the catalogue from Page 204 onwards. The first card has a watercoloured background that was stamped with the sentiment from Bloom n Grow (another new stamp set available 4th June) as if the little fairy's penned it herself. The next card shows two of the three fairy images. Again I kept the layout fairly simple as I wanted the sentiment and images to be the focal point. The next two cards incorporate one of the floral images from the Bloom n Grow stamp set I mention earlier. The first has the third fairy image peeking out from the floral cluster. Again another simple creation with a little sponging and light stamping behind the heat embossed sentiment and fussy cut fairy. I have given this fairy a new skirt using the Perennial Flower Punch. A partially die cut card front makes for the perfect spot for this fairy to write her heat embossed message. And finally, a vellum window with floral embellishments. Thanks so much for stopping by today. I will be back tomorrow with a few creations using another new stamp set from the new Annual Catalogue as I participate in a global blog hop. Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty

I have been eyeing my 'See a Silhouette' Designer Series Paper for a while now. I love the bold designs and the vibrant colors. For me, they are the easy way to add an 'artistic' look to cards very similar to what you would get with Stampin' Up Pigment Sprinkles. The papers are a variety of artistic designs just waiting for you to make into rich, beautiful cards. See the patterns below. These designs are all done by Stampin' Up! designers using Stampin' Up! colors. Aren't they wonderful? Click on the image to see more. For this quick and simple card,

Welkom vandaag bij een extra Artisan Bloghop! Deze bloghop staat geheel in het teken van nieuwe goodies die verkrijgbaar zijn in een Early Release! Het afwachten naar de nieuwe jaarcatalogus toe duurt nog even, maar voor de demonstratrices kun je al vanaf de pre-order periode nieuwe producten bestellen! Hoe leuk is dat! Voor klanten van Stampin' Up! is de eerste besteldata voor deze prachtige producten 1 mei! Wees er snel bij, deze producten zijn als bundels maar een korte periode verkrijgbaar en zullen niet in de nieuwe catalogus aangeboden worden als bundel! Welcome today at an extra Artisan Bloghop! This bloghop is totally about some amazing new products that will be available in an Early Release! We still have to wait a bit for the new year catalog will be live, but these items will al ready be available for demos in the pre-order period! How much fun is that! When you are not a demo, the first order date will be the 1st of May! Get these bundles today though, this suite will only be available for a short period and will not be in the new year catalog as a bundle! Voor mijn eerste kaart heb ik een basis gebruikt van Very Vanilla Cardstock. Maar dat is niet wat deze kaart de wow factor geeft, dat is het prachtige Design Papier! Wow! Dit papier is zo mooi! Ik ben vandaag voor het bloemendesign gegaan, maar de set papier heeft nog veel meer prachtige motieven te bieden! Voorop heb ik de bloem en inktvlekje gestempeld uit de stempelset Love What You Do. Het twine strikje maakt deze klaar dan af! I've used a Very Vanilla Cardstock piece as a base for my card, which you'll also find up front! But that's not what makes this card pop, it's the gorgeous new Design Paper! Wow! I just love it! For my cards today I've used paper with flowers, but the pack offers more designs! Up front I stamped the flower, text and little ink spot from the stamp set Love What You Do. A small piece of the twine finishes this card! De basis voor deze tweede kaart is ook van Very Vanilla Cardstock. Ook hier weer een stukje prachtig Design Papier! Op de voorgrond tref je nog een stukje Design Papier aan, met lint en Parels in bijpassende kleur! De bloem heb ik uitgeknipt met de Paper Snips en verhoogd met dimensionals! Een klein stukje van het twine maakt ook deze kaart af! The base for my second card is also from Very Vanilla Cardstock! And also you'll find a piece of the Design Paper here! Totally up front you'll see a small piece of the Design Paper as well, with matching ribbon and even a matching Pearl! I fussy cutted the flower with the Paper Snips and adhired it with Dimensionals to my card. A small piece of twine finishes this card as well! Voor mijn derde kaart heb ik een basis gebruikt van Mint Macaron Cardstock. Ja, je leest het goed! Deze prachtige kleur komt terug! Ik heb de tekst gestempeld op het prachtige label, hello is samengesteld met het alfabet uit de Make A Difference stempelset. Met een prachtig, glimmende doilie op de achtergrond, de schitterende bloemen uitgeknipt uit het papier, de gestempelde bloemen op de achtergrond en de bijpassende parels is deze kaart ook een leuk geheel geworden! For my third card I used a piece of Mint Macaron as a base. Yes, you are seeing it correctly! Mint Macaron is coming back! I've stamped the text on the gorgeous label, hello was stamped with the letters from the Make A Difference stamp set. With a gorgeous, shining Doilie on the background, the beautiful fussycutted flowers from the paper, the stamped flowers on the background and the matching Pearls, this car became a jewel as well! Voor mijn laatste kaart ben ik gegaan voor de zachte zalmkleuren die je in het design papier vind! Prachtig is dit vel ook! Met een basis van Very Vanilla, het design papier en voorop de tekst gestempeld op de inktvlek staat deze kaart al van zich zelf. Om de kaart af te maken heb ik een paar bloemen en takjes uit het papier geknipt. For my last card I used the beautiful salmon colored design paper! Just gorgeous! With a base of Very Vanilla, the design paper and the text up front, this card is al ready a fun whole. To finish my card I fussy cutted some flowers and brenches from the paper. Ik ben nog lang niet uitgespeeld met deze prachtige set! Het papier is gewoon geweldig! Het is best dik papier, prachtig glanzend, echt heel mooi! In de Make a Difference set een prachtig alfabet met gekrulde letters, maar ook strakke letters en erg leuke teksten die aangeven dat je kaart met liefde zelf is gemaakt! I will be using this set forever! This paper is really just stunning! Quite heavy paper, shiny, just stunning! In the Make a Difference set there's a gorgeous curly lettertype, as well as a modern lettertype and text which are handmade themed!

Hello and welcome to my blog. My card today is for the latest TGIF - Colour Challenge and I just love the colours! In fact I love them soooo much I created two cards - one masculine and one feminine! My masculine card uses products in the Come Sail Away Suite - from the Sailing Home Stamp Set and co-ordinating dies to stickers from the Memories & More Card Pack. To bring Pool Party into the mix I've water-washed the background of each of the Stitched Shape Squares which have been die cut using Shimmery White Cardstock. And for my feminine card I've used the gorgeous Bloom & Grow Stamp Set and co-ordinating Budding Blooms Dies. These flowers look great in Pool Party teamed with the leaves in Granny Apple Green and the Night of Navy accessories. The Clear Rhinestones have been coloured using the Dark Night of Navy Blends to co-ordinate with everything! And if you are wondering how I created the frame around the sentiment - I used the strip die from the Stitched Nested Labels. It does overlap in the corners but I think it works perfectly to create a label for any sized sentiment. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week!

It's the men's turn! Fathers, sons, brothers, grandfathers, nephews, uncles, and brothers-in-law are getting some special attention this month. I am always in need of masculine cards, and am so frequently at a loss for ideas. It's hard for me when all I want to do is break out the flower stamps, and add ribbons and bows and doilies, LOL. But I have a special treat for you! I have the Sailing Home bundle from the new annual catalog that starts June 4th, so you get a sneaky peek! And I know Wendy has it too, so the next stop on the tour will have more ideas for this fabulous set! If you landed here from Debbie Henderson's blog, Debbie's Designs, weren't her projects awesome? I'm sure by now you know how to hop, so just follow all the links to take the short five-stop tour. So, when I said I got the Sailing Home bundle, that wasn't entirely true.... I got the entire SUITE! Everything except the High Seas 3D embossing folder, which wasn't on the preorder list, darn it! Anyhoooo, since my daddy was career Navy, and my hubby is also a Navy veteran, I knew I just had to get it. Here is my first card, a birthday card manly enough for any man. The blue seas were embossed with the Seaside folder (retiring!) on a 1-1/2" x 3-3/4" piece of Seaside Spray (New In Color!) cardstock. It was adhered to a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White, and then on a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" Night of Navy mat. I tied the new Night of Navy/Sahara Sand baker's twine in a square knot and adhered the ends on back, then popped the panel up on dimensionals on the Sahara Sand card base. The sail boats were stamped in Night of Navy, and a Blender Pen was used to spread the color around. I think it's awesome that the boats, ship's wheel (cut AND emboss!), and banner are all dies included in the Smooth Sailing Dies! My next card is a perfect thank you for any guy that has helped you in some way. No frilly flowers or bows on this card. Nuh uh. It uses what I think is my favorite (for now, anyway) set in the new catalog - Free As A Bird. It can be bought as a bundle with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies, which are uh-MAZE-ing! The bird was stamped in Soft Suede and the leafy branch in Mossy Meadow. After coloring the bird (Crumb Cake Dark & Light, Soft Suede Dark, Calypso Coral Light) and leaves (Mossy Meadow Light) the image was cut with one of the dies. A second piece was cut using the next smaller die from Wood Textures DSP, split and adhered to the back. Notice that beautiful Mossy Meadow Linen Thread? That's part of the Magnolia Lane Suite - another superb suite! I am happy to see that the Woodland embossing folder is carrying over. Here's a close up of the Stitched Nested Label, which is really more like tiny dots, and I LOVE them! Oh there is so much to love in the new catalog, starting with a whole new layout! I can't wait until everyone has their own catalog to pore over. Be sure you have lots of Post-It flags....you're gonna need them! Up next is the wonderful Wendy Weixler, with her Wickedly Wonderful Creations!

Welcome back for this Extraordinary Blog Hop with the Global Stamping Friends team. We are showcasing some sneak peeks from the up coming New Annual Catalogue - Yay not long now! Did you love Libby's project? She always creates such lovely things - jump back by clicking on her name if you haven't visited her yet or use the 'next' button at the bottom to hop around till you find yourself back here. Do you know what's even better all the goodies I have used in this hop you can get your hands on early because of the Stampin' Up! early release of the Share What You Love Suite. The Tranquil Tide Ink Pad in the new style I was lucky to get at Onstage they are so much easier to use and I am sure the new style of pad will be very popular. Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper is so pretty with its pearl accents - 12 designs with 4 of them having a pretty pearlized finish.  Today I have made 4 cards that show off this paper beautifully. I hope you like them. With this one I sacrificed a piece of the DSP and fussy cut the little Old Olive flowers so that I could add them as an embellishment. I also popped on plain pearls even though the Suite features some pretty coloured Artisan Pearls. This card has some of the new Natures Twine that I also scored from Onstage - it comes as a pack with Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron twine all in the one pack. This is 2 pieces and I have frayed the fibres apart - what about that Pearlized Doily? Nice hey?  Well that's enough from me - now you are hopping over to Sharon to see what she has to share with you.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia stamp set bundle from the upcoming 2019-2020 Annual Catalog to create a quick card to share with you today. I LOVE this bundle!!

Connie Collins, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Hi and welcome, today is an exciting day as the new 2019-20 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue is now live, which means all the new (and returning) goodies are now available to purchase. I have previously shared the below sneak peek card using a new stamp set from the 2019-20 Annual Catalogue. The new product I used for this card was the Free As A Bird Bundle (which consists of the Free As A Bird stamp set and the Stitched Nested Labels Dies). If you would like more details on this card, you can view my blog post by clicking here, or on the image above :) Well, today I have some more inspiration for you using the Free As Bird Bundle. I decided to create a set of cards all with the same layout, but using different colours and 2 different sentiments. I was inspired to create this set of cards by this weeks TGIF "Create a Set" Challenge #214. The layout of my cards was semi inspired by a card I created back in June 2017 (click here to see my layout inspiration) A couple of my colour combinations were inspired by some other challenges, including the Color Throwdown #545 (however I was a little slow in finishing my cards so missed out on entering my cards in the challenge..oops!) and the Fab Friday Colour Challenge #164. The rest I just grabbed some of my favourite colours and had a play :) All the cards were made by stamping the bird image on to some Whisper White cardstock in Black Memento ink. I then cut out the birds using the largest Stitched Nested Labels die. Then I coloured the images using my Stampin' Blends (see below for the colour combinations used). Using the same colour ink as my card base, I stamped the leaves image 3 times in each corner of the card front. And then using the same ink colour, I stamped my sentiment in the top left of my die cut label. I attached some Silver Metallic thread to the back on my die cut label (using a little snail) and then adhered it to my card front using some Stampin' Dimensionals. I'd love to know which of the cards/colours is your favourite. My favourite colour is Blue, and one of my favourite SU colours is Bermuda Bay, so my favourite cards were pretty easy to choose (the Bermuda Bay & Balmy Blue versions), however I really love the bold Poppy Parade one as well as the Highland Heather versions. Here is the Color Throwdown colour palette that inspired my first bunch of cards in this set. The Stampin' Up! colours I interpreted from this image was Rich Razzleberry, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & Soft Suede. Highland Heather versions Stampin' Blends: Highland Heather (Dark & Light), Granny Apple Green (Dark), Soft Suede (Light) & Rich Razzleberry (Light) Rich Razzleberry versions Stampin' Blends: Rich Razzleberry (Dark & Light), Granny Apple Green (Dark), Soft Suede (Light) & Highland Heather (Dark) My Flirty Flamingo version was inspired by the Fab Friday Colour Challenge #164. Stampin' Blends: Flirty Flamingo (Dark & Light), Old Olive (Light), Soft Suede (Light) & Soft Seafoam (Dark) Poppy Parade version Stampin' Blends: Poppy Parade (Dark & Light), Granny Apple Green (Dark), Soft Suede (Light) & Calypso Coral (Light) Balmy Blue version Stampin' Blends: Balmy Blue (Dark & Light), Night of Navy (Light), Granny Apple Green (Dark), Soft Suede (Light) & Daffodil Delight (Dark) Bermuda Bay version Stampin' Blends: Bermuda Bay (Dark & Light), Granny Apple Green (Dark), Soft Suede (Light) & Daffodil Delight (Dark) Thanks so much for your support and for visiting me today :) If you enjoy what I do, I would love you to Like and Follow my Facebook page, and Pin my cards on Pinterest (or you can follow me on Pinterest).

I just love unicorns! Today's card features Stampin Up! Leave a Little Sparkle stamp set. This is a beautiful set and is one of my must-have's from the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. I ink blended the background with my makeup brushes using Melon Mambo, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch and Coastal Cabana. I spritzed the background with some water using my fingers. I just love unicorns and rainbows together - just magical! All products can be purchased through my ONLINE STORE Here is a video showing you how I made this card https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBC71cSgDPg Please double click the picture and it will take you straight to YouTube.
