CATALOGUE LAUNCH REVIEW!

I thought I would share some of the things from my launch on the weekend.  It was such a fun time and I am sorry if you couldn’t make it. 🙂

Firstly, I have to show you my butterfly wall.  It is a bit hard to photograph.  The lighting is not the best.  It is a bit overcast today when I took these photos.

P1160845

I will show you some close-ups. I have used the Butterflies Thinlets and the cute new Incolor Blossom Accents.

P1160830

P1160832

P1160848

These are some of the treat bags I made for my lovely guests.  Sorry I didn’t take photos of all the flower colours.  These were last minute things as my order didn’t arrive until the 11th hour. The glue was still drying when the first guests arrived 🙂

I used the large Cello bags. I added some of the sheets from the ‘Cherry on Top’ DSP stacks and added a doily.  I cut some Balloons and banners with the Balloon Framelits and added a chocolate treat and some post-it notes.

P1160822

It is hard to tell in the photo but I ran the bag through the Big Shot with the Boho Chic Embossing Folder.

P1160866

Here is a close-up of the pegs for the bags.  I punched out a flower with the Petite Petals Punch and adhered a flower onto it with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  This was then adhered to a little peg.  It was a simple, cute idea.  I got the idea from a lovely friend of mine 🙂

P1160877

I thought I would share the Colour Comparison chart for the new Incolors.  It’s a good way to see how they fit in with other current colours.  (Once again sorry about the lighting!  I really have to do something about this). 🙂

P1160833

Next post I will show you the Make and Takes we did.  I think that is enough photos for one day. 🙂

A DAZZLING DRAGONFLY!

This card was the surprise card at my Stamp A Stack yesterday.  If you didn’t come you missed out!!! 😉  I thought I would show you today though.

P1160737-1

This is using a new stamp set called ‘Awesomely Artistic’. The card was inspired by a card on Pinterest by Julia Quinn.  I changed the colours and cut the banners with the Banners Framelits. The little greeting frame is cut with the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits. I don’t do a lot of Project Life BUT I have found these little framelits great for greetings. The “Wish Big” greeting is from ‘A Dozen Thoughts’ stamp  set.

Of course a dragonfly has to have a little sparkle. I added some Dazzling Diamonds to the wings.

P1160738

I think this set has to be my most favourite set in the new catalogue.  I think you are going to love it so write it down on your wish list now.  Only a few days to go now until the new catalogue is out. Exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  🙂

BOKEH TAGS!

Last week at my Bokeh Technique class we made these tags.  I thought I would show you.

P1160030

We started off with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 10.1 cm x 14.4cm) to create the sponged Bokeh effect.  This was cut in half.  One half they could keep as a sample of the technique with the instructions and the other half we made the tag from.  That was by simply punching the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and threading some ribbon and twine through.  The flower was stamped using the Flower Shop stamp set and then punched out and then another flower punched with the flower punch. I added a little flower with the Petite Petals stamps set. I added some Linen Thread loops.  These flowers and loopy Linen thread was inspired by my lovely friend Sam (Thanks Sam).  If you haven’t checked Sam’s blog out yet, then make sure you do.  She has some amazing creations. 🙂

I made a number of these for our team swaps last week too.  I think everyone is loving the Bokeh technique at the moment and if you haven’t tried it yet then you have to give it a go. There are a number of tutorials on line with a few different ways of doing them. On mine I didn’t go the spraying with reinkers, I sponged the colours and the white circles.

I realised I hadn’t shown you the card we made too.  Here is the card.

Thanks for looking in today.  Have a wonderful day wherever you may be.

IRRESISTIBLY YOURS BUTTERFLY!

I have just discovered the ‘Irresistibly Yours’ DSP in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue.  I had fun creating with it the other day.  I found this card on Splitcoaststampers.  I loved the bright colours and just had to copy it.

P1150837

I used Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight.  To colour the paper I sponged the ink picking it up from the inkpad with the sponge.  Rather than dabbing with the sponge though I rubbed in a circular motion.  I think that gives a smoother coverage of ink rather than it looking blotchy. Once you ink it then rub over the paper with a tissue and it will wipe off the ink over the embossed areas and give it a shine. For this card the paper is teamed with the gorgeous butterfly die available now in the Occasions Catalogue and I backed this with some Whisper White card to make it stand out.  The greeting is from the Buttefly Basics stamp set.

The ‘Irresistibly Yours’ DSP contains 12 sheets (2 each of 6 designs) that are single sided. They each have a glossy white pattern. You can apply ink to the paper by sponge, brayer or directly with the inkpad.  You could colour with Blendabilities too if you like. The embossed like pattern resists the ink leaving a gorgeous pattern. If you haven’t seen it yet or really paid attention to it, check it out on page 15 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. Here are the patterns you will find in the pack.  It’s great to create some beautiful patterned paper to the colour you would like and to make it look embossed and you haven’t had to drag out the embossing powder and Heat Tool!
