Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off an idea that Claire our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Development Manager showed us in a workshop the other day, I took it a bit further in one of my cards, let me know which card is your favourite! If you'd like to see all the goodies I used on these cards click here:  DSP & Blends Turtles Cards Here are the cards I ended up creating The first 2 I've just used the blends to go round each of the images on the designer paper, I really love the way the images get highlighted from it, almost a "stained glass effect" This first card I also used the blend on the white card base under the Designer Paper to give a border This second card I used the Blend around the edge of the Designer paper to draw a line  (I did use a ruler to do this!) again to create a border. Then this last one I've gone round the edges again with the darker Pool Party blend, but then blended in the lighter one in all the gaps. I actually did g...

Stampin' Blends (in the normal way)

Hi Everyone,
Well I know I wrote about the new Stampin' Blends the other day, but can't resist sharing some more creations with you! The "normal" way is where you use light plain cardstock (I've used Whisper White, stamp an image with Memento Black ink, and start colouring) As one of my favourite sets is Remarkable You Stamp set, I've gone with the flowers from it, I'll start with my favourite, the Lilies:
this one uses the Daffodil Delight combo blends, Calypso coral combo Blends, and the Pumpkin Pie Combo Blends, and of course the Old Olive Combo Blends for the stems!

Next up the waterlily type flower (I'm sure someone will know what it is!), this one again uses the Daffodil Delight, but then I've used some Pink Pirouette to create the delicate colour in the bottom of the flower, then some Old Olive for the stems again.....

And moving onto the last flower in the stamp set, reminds me of a magnolia flower (although I'm pretty sure if it is that I'll have coloured it in wrong lol), so this one I've used again the Old Olive Blends for the stems, then the Bermuda Bay Blends for the base of the flower blending into the Rich Razzleberry Blends.

Which one was your favourite?

Stay tuned for more Stampin' Blend ideas, Oh and before you go I just wanted to share with you one of my favourite things about the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends. You can buy them individually for $7.75, or as a duo with the light and dark of that colour for $15.50.  I really love this versatility as you often use one more than the other, and I think for the price they are really amazing value!
So there's my bob's worth for today :)

 I hope it inspires you to want to give them a go too, and start building up your collection. Let me know if you have any questions.

God Bless love
Heather
