Stampin' Up! New In Colour Sneak Peek & a Retiring Favourite!

Happy Tuesday! I'm back today with a treat for you! A sneak peek of brand new In Colours, lots of pics of my pretty card using the retiring Loyal Leaves set, and colour comparisons which I found really helpful! Let's dive in!

My quick & easy thank you card uses 2 new ink and cardstock colours from Stampin' Up! - Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. They match beautifully and are soft and rich and gorgeous!

Be sure to watch my Video Tutorial (below) for more sneak peeks!

More colour comparisons are further down in this post.

I stamped my images, then for fun, I die cut on an angle using one of my Stitched Rectangles. When I use this technique, I always pop up the die cut bit with Dimensionals.

The simple 'Thank You' in this set is small, and doesn't interfere with the design. Sometimes understated is the way to go!

I used another Stitched Rectangle to die cut the sentiment, then punched the banner end using my Tailored Tag punch.

Oooooh.....do you see another sneak peek on this card?! I added a few of the brand new 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels! Love love love them!!

A bit of simple stamping for the inside of the card. The leaves in this set are so beautifully designed - not much more is required.

Do you use the stamping off technique? It's a fantastic way to stretch your ink colours!

True Love - Kylie's International Highlights Winners Blog Hop

What an absolute thrill to be one of the December Top 10 Winners Blog Hop! My little card finished in first place! Thank you for your votes - you can view that card HERE.

I'm so grateful to be hopping along with so many talented demonstrators world-wide! The theme for our hop is Thank You. Here's my card!

Colouring the black & white paper - True Love Designer Series Paper from the new Jun-July Mini Catalogue is super easy! It's gorgeous as is, but colouring it is a huge WOW! I used my Dark Soft Seafoam for the leaves, and a mix of 3 colours for the flowers. I started with Ivory, then added Dark Petal Pink and finally Light Calypso Coral. I love how easy Stampin' Blends are to use! They make me feel like an artist!

Once all the flowers were coloured, I fussy cut them (easy peasy), then heat embossed the sentiment from Butterfly Gala using Stampin' White Embossing Powder, onto Basic Black cardstock. That 'stitching' around the layer is created from one of the dies in my Stitched Shapes dies set. It gives a finished look, which I love!

For assembly, I adhered one of the flowers with leaves to the sentiment layer and popped them up on dimensionals. I find it's best to plan where all the pieces will go, then snap a pic with my cell for reference.

And you know me - I had to throw in a bit of gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack!

The original piece I had cut from the True Love DSP was 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and that section had enough flowers for the front of the card and inside!

My card base and layers are Whisper White, and for the front layer, I embossed it using the Painted Texture 3D Folder from the new Mini.

Jan-June Mini Catalogue and.......

There are SO many amazing new products in the Jan-June Mini! The catalogue goes live on Jan 5, 2021...as does....drum roll.....Sale-a-bration! If you aren't familiar with Sale-a-bration (aka SAB), it's our fave time of year because you can earn free SAB products. In Canada, if your spend is $60 (before tax/shipping), you get to choose an item from the SAB catalogue! That's free product!! It goes in increments of $60....so if your spend is $120 - you get 2 free SAB items, and so on.

Something to Ponder...

Before becoming a demonstrator I was a customer, then about 4 1/2 years ago I purchased the Starter Kit - who doesn't love a bargain! I wanted the 20-25% discount. But the biggest reward has to be the friends I've made - what a blessing!

Here's a thought - your wishlist is large, I recommend you get those items in the Starter Kit. In a nutshell....for just $135, you get to choose $165 in product. There's no tax on the kit in most provinces and it ships FREE! Join for the discount - read the details HERE.

Thank you for stopping by today! Be sure to continue on through the hop!

Dragonfly Garden Bundle Sneak Peek International Blog Highlights December Thank You Card

Ooooh.....you are going to l-o-v-e the new Jan-June Mini Catalogue! It's packed full of gorgeous stamps, fab dies, lots of stunning designer series paper!

Today, I have a sneak peek for you of goodies from the Dandy Garden Project Collection, and I've entered my card in Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights.

The theme for December is Thank You.

If you like my card, please vote for it using the Vote Button further down in this post. In the gallery, my card is #20

This pretty card is quick & easy to make, with just 2 colours of ink, the Dragonfly Garden Bundle (stamp set & punch).

I started by inking up the mini dragonflies in Bumblebee onto Whisper White cardstock, then embossing with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder. The full sentiment read Thank You For Your Kindness, however I wanted Thank You.....so.....I used my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker over the words, and it worked beautifully!

I stamped the delicate floral image onto one of the designs from the Dandy Garden using Jet Black Stazon Ink, then adding a layer of Brushed Metallic Cardstock for a bit of shine.

The dragonfly was stamped onto Vellum, using the same ink as above.

Hello my crafty friends! Today I have for you my take on the Blossoms in Bloom Bundle. There are endless gorgeous cards you can make with this bundle!

This is the first card I've made using Blossoms in Bloom and I am so impressed with this bundle! I'm loving this colour combo of Gray Granite, So Saffron & Whisper White - subtle and happy!
