PARIS …

Rob and I have visited Paris twice … in 1988 and 2008. Neither travel experiences have memory albums yet. So, when I saw the PARISIAN BLOSSOMS SUITE, I knew I had the perfect products to start my memory keeping of these travel adventures [although not yey started].

Instead, I have started creating some cards to get a feel for this suite … I have discovered that, along with the iconic Eiffel Tower image and dies, the suite showcases the language of love … floral elements and the words of love.

My first card

I used an aqua painter to water colour the base layer Eiffel Tower and created an ombre effect from left to right … this adds a ‘shadow’ for the vellum tower layer.

I also did a very quick water colour wash, on more of the Shimmer White card stock, before die cutting the very elegant flourishes that are in the coordinating dies set.

I hope this inspires you to create some cards or even to finish off some of your own Parisian memory keeping …

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

A VERY SWEET DAY …

As I use the new products, from the JANUARY to JUNE MINI CATALOGUE, each day is fun and creative … and, today, OH SO SWEET!

I have just started using the HONEY BEE STAMP SET, DETAILED BEES DIES and the FREE Sale-A-Bration GOLDEN HONEY SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER … and am excited by all the possibilities.

The Honey Bee Stamp Set [151527 – $35 AUD] and Detailed Bee Dies [151526 – $45 AUD] can be purchased as a bundle, enjoying a 10% discount [153792 – $72 AUD].

This bundle coordinates with the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper [free with a $90 order during Sale-A-Bration] … so, you can order this bundle and add at least $18 in other product [before postage and handling] to ‘earn’ the DSP, for free, while stocks last … SWEET!

If you like all things sweet … these may e the new products for you!

I’d love to hear from you if you have any questions, would like current catalogues or want to place an order.

MORE PEACEFUL POPPIES …

I ‘fell in love’ with the PEACEFUL POPPIES SUITE from the moment I saw all the products, when I attended the Stampin’ Up!® On Stage Live event in Dortmund, Germany last November.

Being able to pre-order new products and attend events like On Stage Live are some of the amazing benefits of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. [If you ever wan to know more about the benefits … contact me and let me share them with you!]

SO … here are some of the cards I’ve made …

It’s so easy to forget to use vellum … but it is great when we do.
I’ve always loved angles other than 90 or 180.
Don’t forget our Stampin’ Blends are alcohol based and they are perfect for colourng Basic Pearls and Rhinestones.
A little layering and Dimensionals can create a great effect and layers.
I enjoyed using the stark contrast of the Whisper White against the Blueberry Bliss.
The heat embossed sentiment pops.
Using the COASTAL WEAVE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER from the TROPICAL OASIS SUITE to dry emboss the vellum gave this card a little something extra. Weaving the die cut leaves also gave an extra point of interest … never stop experimenting.
…and this was the project for my first Coffee & Card class of 2020!

Tomorrow, I will share some images of the memory keeping pages I have done using this suite.

Thanks for stopping by … enjoy your stamping!
