Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think.... I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!)   Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍 I also said in the video I&

Share it Sunday Blog Hop


 Hi there Creators,

I have joined a Facebook group called Crafty Collaborations, which is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator only group, demos all round the world, and there are various blog hops to join in with, which I thought sounded fun and might prompt me to remember to do blog posts lol!

The "Share it Sunday" is an, anything goes one, which I figured was a great start for me!

Today I thought I'd share with you a bit of a sneak peek!  Coming in January is our new Jan to July Mini catalogue and there is this AMAZING suite in it called Fine Art Floral, so beautiful!

I've made 3 cards up and kind of ended up a bit "blue" not in feelings though - you'll see.... lol

The first card is this one: I love the way it's got the 2 step stamping in the flower

Fine Art Floral, Stampin' Up!

I've used one of the gorgeous Blue gems in the middle and bit of Wink of Stella on the flower too.

This next card uses the matching dies: Floral Gallery dies, and the stamp set: Art Gallery.  Again these flowers have a stamp that layers up on it, I've actually stamped the whole lot with the Seaside Spray Ink, then coloured over the "green" bits with a Stampin' Write Marker.  The background I used the (also new) Blending Brushes, OH MY GOODNESS!  wow what a beautiful effect you can get with them!  And a bit more Wink of Stella...

And onto the last card, I've used the same gorgeous Art Gallery Stamps, and again just stamped with the blues - Seaside Spray with Misty Moonlight ink over top, then coloured over the "green" bits with the Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Marker, I've also used the Misty Moonlight Marker just to add a touch more colour in a few areas, then couple more of the dies from the Floral Gallery dies
