Presto Patterns

Peach Parfait, Old Olive & Whisper White card stock work well together for me.

Add ‘Presto Patterns’ Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Summer Mini Catalogue and the ‘Elements of Style’ stamp set together with Old Oliver ink pad and WOW!

Don’t forget the Stampin’ Up! Summer Mini ends on 31st March, so contact your Demonstrator if you don’t want to miss out.

Shelly's Card

I have wanted to case Shelly card for a long time now and it went down really well at my last workshop.

I used Stampin’ Up! :

Marina Mist, Whisper White and Crumb Cake cardstock

A to Z background stamp & Just Believe stamp set

White Embossing Powder for the flowers

Chocolate Chip & Marina Mist Ink Pads

Punched Posies

I really love the Punched Posies level 2 Hostess Set in the Summer Mini Catalogue. It's a set of 8 stamps. The 4 larger stamps can be punched out with Stampin' Up!'s matching punches (not included), so the set really lives up to its name.

This very quick and simple gift tag uses

Stampin' Up! Whisper White and Basic Black cardstock. The image was stamped using Sahara Sand ink, punched out using the Scallop Circle Punch, and finished of with one of the Basic Pearls.

Better Late Than Never - Creative Challenge @ Stamp Camp

At Jacque Pedersen's Creative Inkers Stamp Camp in Rotorua a couple of weekends ago we had a 'Creative Challenge'.  Each table was given the same cardstock and a choice of Sale-A-Bration stamp sets (they come FREE when you spend $120) to come up with a co-ordinated project.  In this and the following posts I will show you what can be achieved when you have 20 minutes to come up with an idea and produce the goods.

Elements of Style

Rich Razzleberry was not one of my favourite colours, but with tone-on-tone background stamping teamed with Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive and Whisper White cardstock, plus a dash of Basic Black ink, this really works for me. Credit goes to Gail Beezley whose June Card Kit of the Month instructions I purchased online.  The stamp set is "Elements of Style" and has become one of my favourites.

Box Card

Box cards are surprisingly easy and are sure to impress.

Dasher

I have just finished the last of my Christmas Cards.

This year I really enjoyed using 'Dasher'. He is perfect for the 'earthy' style I have come to love using Stampin' Up products.

Here I particularly like the combination of 'Crumb Cake', 'Cherry Cobbler' and 'Whisper White' cardstock, using 'Always Artichoke' Stampin' Pad for the 'Dasher' stamp and 'Medallion' background stamp.

At our Gorgeous Girls Workshop yesterday we made three cards, two using the Medallion background stamp.  With this card I demonstrated the emboss resist technique which I think works particularly well with this stamp.

Newsprint Designer Series Paper
Clear emboss powder
Concord Crush Classic Stampin' Pad
Eyelet Border Punch
Hemp Twine

The greeting is one of the Short & Sweet stamp set on page 111.

Stampin' Pads Elegant Eggplant & Basic Grey

'Amour' from the Artisic Etchings stamp set

Stampin' Up! Colour Coach

My new COLOUR COACH  arrived this morning and I am so excited.  

Not only does it have the complete colour range but is supplied with the new 'In Colours'.

On the back of each colour there is

DYNAMIC DUO, CREATIVE COMBINATION, GETTING STARTED COMBINATION 

AND SWEET SET.

It has cards to make up your own creative colour combos, plus all you need to know about colour principals.

This is going to be my 'cannot live without' tool.

WHAT'S YOURS?

I love shabby chic, so the Stampin' Up stamp set 'Artistic Etchings' is right up my rue.

Friends Never Fade

I love the colour combination of Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss introduced to me by Jacque Pedersen quite a while back now.  Here it is with two of the four stamps in the set 'Friends Never Fade' from the new Stampin' Up Ideas Book & Catalogue due for release on 1st September.

We have eagerly awaited the new IB&C for what seems a long time now, but you won't be disappointed - it is delicious!  My Demonstrator copy is dog-eared already.  I cannot wait to order some new goodies.

Goodies used here all by Stampin' Up, except the ribbon from my stash. I sneeked in a stamp from 'Pocket Silhouettes' on the Curly Label Punch tag, cut out the flower and used Dimensionals, distressed some of the card edges and added Blue Bayou ink.

Happy Moments

I love the colour combination Lyn used in this CASE of Paula Dobsons masculine card.  She started with the button and chose the Stampin' Up colours to go with it.  I must try that technique.  Well done Lyn.

Pocket Silouettes

I think Pocket Silhouettes is probably one of the most versatile Stampin' Up stamp sets in my collection, and one I will never part with.




Here are two cards made by Val, one of the 3Gs - Gorgeous Girls Group [there are three of us!]

All products used in the second card are by Stampin' Up with very effective use of the Scallop and Square punches.

Elegance

I love the simple elegance of this card made by Lyn.








The clean, crisp colours make it an ideal wedding card.
