Welcome to the July Creation Station Blog Hop. We've got your back this month! The team is making handcrafted backgrounds to inspire your own creative spirit. Be sure to click on the next button at the end of each post to see every design team member's background creations. Making my own backgrounds is something I love to do. I've shown many different background techniques on past Creation Station blog hops, so I wanted to try something new (at least new to me!). This one is a twist on a watercolor background technique. I love watercolor backgrounds because they always turn out differently. I did a couple of practice runs just to see how the ink colors worked together and then I went for it! The backgrounds each started with stamping the leaf and script images from the Very Versailles stamp set in VersaMark ink onto watercolor paper and embossing them with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. To add the color, I first brushed water over the watercolor paper with my Aqua Painter. Next, I used my ink pads to place ink on my Clear Block F. I spritzed the ink on the clear block, dipped a piece of Window Sheet into the puddled ink, and pressed the inked up window sheet into the embossed watercolor paper. I kept the ink puddles separate and cleaned off my window sheet when I switched colors. I used my Aqua Painter to move the color around a bit as needed and a paper towel to remove excess water. Once the paper was dry, I added splatters to the background. For the background on this card I used Pool Party, Old Olive and a bit of Daffodil Delight inks. I created a frame using two sizes of dies from the Stitched Nested Labels dies and Old Olive card stock. The bird and flowers image was fussy cut from a pattern in the Bird Ballad designer series paper pack. "Hello" is from the Free As A Bird stamp set and was punched out with the Classic Label Punch. The watercolor paper is layered on Old Olive card stock and the card base is Whisper White Thick card stock. I added a few Basic Pearls to finish the card. Before creating the background on this card, I made a mask using one of the Stitched Nested Label Dies and copy paper. I used Washi tape to adhere the mask to the watercolor paper and then stamped the images. I carefully removed the mask before embossing, then replaced it and sealed all the edges around the inside of the mask with Washi tape before I started adding the ink. I did not want the ink to travel outside the footprint of the mask. I also added the splatters before removing the mask. I used Seaside Spray and Old Olive inks on the background. The bird image from Free As A Bird stamp set was stamped in Early Espresso ink and then colored with Stampin' Blends: Seaside Spray combo, Petal Pink combo, Soft Suede combo, Old Olive combo, Daffodil Delight light, and the Color Lifter. The greeting is also from the Free As A Bird stamp set. I fussy cut both the bird image and the greeting piece. The watercolor piece is layered on Seaside Spray card stock and then adhered to a Whisper White Thick card stock base. I finished the card with a Seaside Spray faceted dot and a few Basic Pearls. I hope you are inspired to try this fun background technique on your projects. Now it is time to head on over to Dena's blog, The Creativity Cave. I can't wait to see what she has for us today.

Maria messaged several weeks ago to ask if I had an extra pack of Stargazing Designer Series Paper for the eclipse cards she was making for an eclipse party. Of course I had some extra pages, so I was happy to give them to a good home when she swung
Back when I had little kids at home, my general rule for stamping was, “If I can’t make it in five minutes or less, I won’t make it.” Now that my kids are all grown up (yes, I have been stamping a VERY long time!), I can actually spend more time on a card. Even though I CAN, it’s always nice when a beautiful new set co
I wanted to share with you a card that I’ve made for the Colour INKspiration challenge #CI56. These colours and cake are just stunning and I just knew I had to enter into the latest competition. The colours are Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Garden Green. The set I’ve used is the new Magnolia Lane Suite which includes Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and Magnolia Memory Dies. This suite is available from the new Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalolgue for 2019-2020. I just had to use the large Magnolia from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set. I stamped it in Stazon Jet Black Ink on Shimmery White Cardstock and with my Aqua Painter I started off with Melon Mambo, then Berry Burst and Blackberry Bliss for the flower. The leaves are watercoloured in with Garden Green. The Magnolia has been cut out with the coordinating die. For the background I’ve used Whisper White Cardstock and I've lightly sponged Melon Mambo ink with a Sponge Dauber. To bring out the Blackberry Bliss of the flower I decided to use Blackberry Bliss Cardstock for the card base. This Magnolia Lane Suite has so much to offer. There is a beautiful Magnolia 3D Embossing Folder which I can’t wait to order next week and start creating with it. Need a new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue please send me a message. Thank you for visiting my blog today and I hope you like my card. Product List: Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White and Shimmery White. Ink: Stazon Jet Black, Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Garden Green. Stamps: Good Morning Magnolia Dies: Magnolia Memory Other Products: Big Shot and Aqua Painter

Hello!....Well l'm back from a whirlwind few days in Brisbane for Stampin Up's On-Stage live event and to say l'm just a little excited, overwhelmed and sooo tired is an understatement..:0) It was a fabulous and fun way to spend a few days with some lovely friends. But reality has kicked in and the struggle is real...time to get creating! Our challenge over at Just Add Ink this week is all about these pretty colours! During "Onstage" l received the brand new "Swan Lake" stamp set in prize patrol. And although this is definitely not a set l would normally choose, l thought l would step outside my comfort zone and see if l could come up with something l liked...:0) I stamped, water coloured and sponged all images on some SU Shimmer c/stock and used the fab "New" stitched framelits to create the oval. The sentiment is from another "New" stamp set that we were lucky enough to receive in our check in bags, called "Suite Sentiments"...Loving the versatile sentiments in this set. Both of these sets will be available in the Occasions catalogue on the 4th of January 2017 and will coincide with the release of the fab new Sab products as well. Not that it photographed all that well, but there is a whole lot of Wink of Stella sparkle happening too! I also have another card l made using these colours, to which l have added a "Neutral" Crumbcake, which we do allow in our colour challenges by the way..:0) Don't forget to swing by the challenge blog for some more fab inspiration from the design team. Thanks for stopping by! All supplies used are Stampin Up!

If you follow me you know.... I LOVE to color with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers! You also know that I am pretty quick ... I tend to select images that I can color pretty quickly! When I saw the offering for a Coloring Masterclass to create this bird from the Happy Holly Days set, I jumped on it and signed up!! Jay and Barry of Mitosu Crafts did an amazing job teaching this class and I learned the 2 techniques above... I stamped in Memento Black ink (left) and colored the bird, then also stamped in Sahara Sand

Goedemorgen op deze spannende, laatste vrijdag van het schooljaar! Vandaag is Aiden voor het laatst in groep 6. Volgend jaar naar groep 7. Ik vind het ook spannend en zie, net als hem op tegen het afscheid van de meester die hij 2 jaar heeft gehad. Nee, deze kaart is niet voor de meester! Deze gaat naar iemand anders die ik heel speciaal vind. Blushing Bride Crumb Cake Rose Red Soft Suede Voor mijn kaart heb ik weer een combi gemaakt met verschillende spulletjes. Allereerst de Swirly Scribble stansen die echt nooit meer van mijn bureau af gaan. Wat een geweldige set! En zo veelzijdig, ze passen werkelijk overal bij! De bloem komt uit de set Birthday Blooms. Deze heb ik ingekleurd met onze Stampin' Write Markers en een waterbrush. De achtergrond is gemaakt met de set Touches of Texture. Oh...ik ben zo gek op die rand stempel! Nou, ik wens je weer een fijne vrijdag en hoop je snel weer te zien bij een volgend blogbericht.
Hello stampers. When is the last time you really played with your stamps? This retiform technique is a great one for encouraging just that. Retiform means 'netlike'. The Webster dictionary says: Definition of retiform. : composed of crossing lines and interstices : reticular netlike; specifically : being the connective tissue cells of the framework of the lymphatic glands. Well, we are not interested in the lymphatic glands, but the crossing lines and all the other fun stuff involved with this technique is truly addictive. Here is what you need to have on hand to do this technique. Two coordinating colours of
