I have a very short video to share with you today for this week’s edition of WATCH IT WEDNESDAY #10. I don’t know about you but sometimes those tiny little dies gets buried or dropped on the floor and you spend so long looking for them. Well! I saw an idea somewhere quite a few months ago and just recently introduced this in the classroom. I have to say this has been fantastic!! No more lost dies! Everyone loves the idea too when they come so I thought I would share it with you.
I hope you found that useful and you might be able to adapt it to your classroom or your own craft room.

I had a little time this afternoon to make a quick card for the Colour Inkspirations #20 Colour Challenge. I usually don’t stamp on a Monday with other commitments on but in between them and phone calls I got some stamping in just in time for the challenge to close. These were hard colours this round and I wasn’t sure what I would do. This card changed a few times along the way.
Firstly, the colours: Calypso Coral, Dapper Denim, Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke.
They look so pretty in the picture don’t they but I don’t often work with such heavy colours. And I don’t use Always Artichoke. I don’t even own the inkpad for it! I used the Stampin’ Write Marker. Here is my card.
I dusted off the Swirly Bird set and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlitsfor this one. The sentiment is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set. I dusted that one off too. 🙂
To finish the card I added a touch of Paper Doily under the Banner with a strip of the Calypso Coral Sheer Ribbon. And for the “bling” factor I added a small dragonfly from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and some adhesive Pearls.
So I have posted it just in time. If you want to check the other cards out or join in these challenges yourself then head over HERE.
A bonus of being a demonstrator is that we get to order the products way before customers can. It gives us much more time to play with them. When I first got my Stampin’ Blendsa couple of weeks ago I also ordered this new set Color Me Happy. It’s such a sweet set. I shared these cards on Instagram and Facebook but hadn’t got to share them with you as yet. So it seems a good time now to show you what I have been doing.
What do you think of this Color Me Happy Set. Very cute?? This set is $47 W or $33 C.
There is also the Color Me Happy Card Kit. This kit includes card stock and all embellishments to make 16 cards. Cost is $41 which is not bad for $2.60 per card. You would need to buy the stamp set separately to use with this set.

While we are talking paper. I hadn’t shown you this cute card with the Delightful Daisy DSP that is one of the listed papers.
This card was inspired by Marcy Denning on Pinterest.
Just a little strip of the Delightful Daisy Paper, one happy piggy coloured with the Aquapainters and ink and a few loopy threads. One Happy Card I think. 🙂

Another quick reminder too, the stamp set Merry Patternsis only available for one more day. Receive it free with a minimum $450 party order(or maybe you need to stock up big!) 🙂 I have had fun playing with this set these past 2 months. It’s sad to see it go.
This is one of the cards we made at my Stamp A Stack class on Friday. This was inspired by a couple of different cards on Pinterest. Gotta love that Pinterest!! 🙂

Are you like me? The Eastern Palace Bundle paper came out early a few months ago, you used it and then it got stored away to be overtaken by more pretty paper???? Yes?
I dragged it out the other week and thought I would play a little. Although this paper is not one of the Designer Series Paper packs available as the BUY ONE, GET ONE FREEpromotion for this month I thought it would be fun to share it anyway. After all you can use any paper. 🙂
This first one has a strip of the Tranquil Tide pattern in the Eastern Palace paper. Then how fun are the Eastern Medallions Thinlits. I cut the fancy circular diecut straight from the Very Vanilla card and layered it on the Tranquil Tide card base. The smaller flower shape from the Eastern Beauty stamp setis stamped in Tranquil Tide on that colour card and then cut with the matching die. No scissors required! The curvy sentiment fits nicely around the diecut shape. Finish it off with the Gold Faceted Gemsand some Gold Ribbon. I think this is a classic style card.
This next one is totally out of my comfort zone. Really, mixing 3 different patterns of paper!! But I think it works and I have to say I am happy with it. I think it works as there is just one strongly patterned paper and then the other 2 are simple patterns. It helps that the colours co-ordinate which is always a special feature of Stampin’ Up! Products.
The sentiment is stamped on white adding the “spotty” circle surrounding. Then stamping and cutting a couple of the “flowery” shapes. They all layer nicely together. What more could you need to add than some loops of the Gold Thread.
What do you think? Ready to drag out some of that Eastern Palace paper again? Maybe try the one above with some of your other paper packs and dare to mix the patterns. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by,
Jenny

For today’s episode of Watch It WednesdayI want to share a product that sometimes gets missed in the catalogue. Every time I use these in class my class members are amazed. Where had these been hiding all the time?? So I wondered if you had really discovered these yourself.
Today let’s look at the Stitched Shapes Framelits.
I think these Framelits are great and I do use them all the time. They give an extra dimension around your shape without being too fussy. What do you think of them? You need them in your stamping supplies for sure.
Here are a couple of cards that I have used them on.
Back to some projects with the beautiful Designer Series Paper that Stampin’ Up carry. I wanted to share this fun Card In A Box style card using the cute Birthday Memories paper. This was created by my lovely friend Leonie N and she allowed me to share it with you.
Isn’t this just so cute??? 🙂 There is no stamping involved. All these cute images are cut from the paper. (No colouring too!). I love this paper as you get one side with really cute images and then the other side is some fun patterns. It really is a great pack.
The Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper is one of the packs available for the special promotion this month. Buy 3 packs and get one Free!!
Just to remind you of the papers that are available during this promotion.
