ESAD 2018 HOLIDAY CATALOGUE BLOG HOP!

 

Welcome to the ESAD 2018 Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop.  It’s nice to have you stop by.  I am sure you will see lots of gorgeous projects along the hop with the lovely new products from the new Holiday Catalogue.

Firstly though, ESAD is a great group of Demonstrators from Australia and New Zealand and we love sharing with you regularly.

 

You would have come from Rachael’s blog HERE or you are starting from this blog.  You can just hop from one post to the other though in the links shown in each post and see the projects.

For my projects today I have used the very cute So Santa set.  I love that we have some “summery” Christmas sets because in Australia we don’t have snow and snowmen at Christmas time.

These are the 2 cards I have made.

Don’t you love the cool Santa dude in his boardies.  (yes, that’s Aussie for Board shorts).  They were both coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.  I kept the layout the same for both and just changed them slightly.  Both the sentiments are from the So Santa set.  The paper is from the Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue.  Of course you could use any paper.  I just flagged the end of the pieces.  They were adhered to a white card mat that I had embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. 

One of the images I cut with the Layering Squares Framelits and I cut a Silver Glimmer Paper scallop square to go behind it.  The other was cut with the Layering Circles Framelits with a scallop circle behind it.

Hope you like these Santas??

PETAL PALETTE THANKS!

Recently you might have read I was giving away a Stamparatus celebrating my 10th Stampin’ Up! Birthday.  I made up some special mini Thank You Cards to give to those who ordered during that week with a little gift.  I thought I would show you the cards.

These measure 10cm x 10cm (4″x4″).  The flowers, I think they are roses, from the Petal Palette set are stamped in Memento Ink and then coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The white card is adhered to a co-ordinating coloured card mat and then to a Thick Whisper White card base.  The sentiment is from the Petal Palette set and cut with the shape from the Petals and More Thinlits.  For a little extra addition I added the small leaf spray from the Thinlits set which was cut in White card.

Here is a close-up of 2 so you can see them a little clearer.

These ones are Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight.

I think they liked them. 🙂

I appreciate each and every person who orders from me.  Thanks so much.  If you are needing your Stampin’ Up! supplies and you are in Australia why not shop with Me. Visit my store now -> HERE.

Thanks for stopping by,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #38 – MAKE YOUR IMAGES POP!!

A quick one for Wednesday’s WOW! #38 today. I wanted to share with you a way to make those images ‘POP’ after you colour them.

The other day I was colouring the butterfly from the Beautiful Day set with the Stampin’ Blends.  I had an idea to add a few dots to it with my White Gel Pen.  I thought it added a little something to the image and thought you might like to see it.

It is a little rough but the idea is something to work with.  What do you think?  Maybe you could try that on a project you are doing?

Anyway, what did I do with this butterfly when I was done?  I added it to a jar that I collected my Lucky Door Prize forms at the show.

Thanks for looking

HAPPY 10 YEARS WITH STAMPIN’ UP!

Tomorrow (Tuesday), I celebrate 10 years with Stampin’ Up!.  It’s pretty crazy really!  It’s been a wild ride I have to say with lots of creating, travelling to fun events and “meeting” many amazing people here and from all over the world.  I have many customers who have been with me nearly the whole time and some blog readers here too.  I have to say a HUGE THANK YOU for sticking with me. ❤

It still amazes me what you can do with ink and paper and I am continually learning new techniques and ideas.  10 years ago I threw myself into this journey having no idea what I was doing – and still don’t half the time, but I keep going and I hope that I inspire you along the way. Stampin’ Up! has given me a greater confidence in myself to try new things and to believe in myself that I can create. 🙂

I appreciate each and every one of you whether you have been with me for 10 years or 10 days.  Thank you for sharing this ride with me.  I love sharing my creations and ideas with you. Creating is such an important part of our lives.  So keep creating and I hope you continue on this ride with me.  To many more years of creating! 🙂

So to celebrate my 10th Stampin’ Up! Birthday, I am giving you the gifts.

You might have seen the Stamparatus? The great positioning tool that helps you in your stamping.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #36 – WATERCOLOUR LIFTING!

I just discovered a fun new technique and I thought I would share it with you for this Wednesday’s WOW! Can you believe we are up to #36??  There are so many exciting techniques and projects to share with you each week.

This week I wanted to share with you the Watercolour Lift Technique. 

Here is a card from Stampin’ Up! to show you the technique. How pretty is it?

Basically, it is washing your Shimmer White cardstock with a wash of ink using the Aquapainter.  Let it dry. Then stamp your images in Versamark over the area.  Solid images work better.  Then clear emboss them.  After that, wash over the card with a clean Aquapainter to lift some of the ink.  It lightens it revealing the images.  How cool!

I have a video to show you how it is done.

What do you think?  Now I am going to have to go off and try this ASAP.  Share your samples with me too I would love to see them.

Thanks for visiting me today for another episode of Wednesday’s WOW! 

Jenny
