Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends June Blog Hop and this month our theme is "Coloring Inside the Lines". Our Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to explore all the wonderful coloring options Stampin' Up! has to offer. One of my favorite coloring techniques would have to be coloring with Stampin' Blends Markers. I love the way these alcohol markers blend and the beautiful vibrant colors. For this card design, I chose to use the new Spotlight on Nature Bundle, which is one of the bundles on sale this month with an additional 10% discount. I paired it with one of the designs from the Thoughtful Journey 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. I just love the soft, water color background it creates for the card design that combines beautifully with the focal images.

To create the focal image, I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to die cut the large detailed circle. I fussy cut the butterfly out after coloring it and added it to the circle with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. For the sentiment label, I heat embossed the image with Basic White embossing powder and die cut the sentiment with the Stylish Shapes Dies. To add a touch of bling, I added several of the Misty Moonlight Gems and I piece of the Silver & White Sheer Ribbon behind the sentiment label. I love how the colors work together to create a beautiful thank you card. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

This month, the theme at Stampin' Fancy Friday is our 'Annual Catalogue Favourite'. We don't blog hop as such but the team at Stampin' Fancy Friday do a daily inspiration post on Instagram. The team at Stampin' Fancy Friday are all current or past members of Stampin' Up!'s Artisan Design Team, so it really is a great place to pick up ideas or recharge your creative mojo. Follow @stampinfancyfriday if you don't already. 😀 My favourite from the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue is really 'whatever I'm currently exploring' but the Spotlight on Nature bundle is currently it. As it's so lovely, it will definitely be in my overall Top 5! Here's what I made for the team challenge. This bundle is unusual in that the dies that bundle with the stamp set do not match up to any of the stamps. It is purely a set of decorative circle dies: 12 dies of various sizes in three different decorative edgings. You can take advantage of June's 10% extra off all bundles to get this wonderful bundle into your stash. 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. You can leave a message in the comments or contact me using any of the methods listed in the Contact Me tab at the top of the page. You can shop with me from anywhere in New Zealand by clicking here.

Now if you've been following my blog posts this week, you'll have seen the Layers of Beauty bundle on 3 previous cards. They all used the largest image of the set, along with some die cutting and even a little masking. Today is different! Using only the masks with inks and Blending Brushes, I created this: L.O.V.E.! Such realistic flowers! I feel like an artist...but all I did was carefully line up the masks (5 of them in all) and use Blending Brushes with inks to create this beautiful panel! Look at the detail and the depth of color! Gorgeous! I started with Lemon Lolly and the #1 mask, which colors the light part of the flowers. Then, with Mask #2, I added some Daffodil Delight ink. And for the smallest, darkest details, I used Crushed Curry. The leaves were done in Granny Apple Green with Garden Green details. I mounted the main panel on Garden Green cardstock, then onto a Thick Basic White base with triangles of Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight to pull out the colors. Feel like an artist! Grab the Layers of Beauty bundle on May 1st and and start your art journey!
