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...

Giving Gifts Dies

 Hi there!

In my random extra Facebook video I did yesterday I was creating this card: (because the new mini catalogue is out and I couldn't resist sharing some of the Christmas goodies in it)

Giving Gifts Dies, Stampin' Up!
In the video I mention that I intended to make up cards with the other dies in this set, and that I would show them off once made......so yay I've made them! I've continued using the whole bundle, check it out here:  Time of Giving bundle  how cute are the little reindeer and sleigh?

The funny thing with this Giving Gifts Dies is that I didn't really think properly when I was looking at them in the catalogue, I was expecting for some reason much bigger dies, possibly the name should have given it away lol!  they really are around gift tag size, but I'm really happy putting gift tags onto cards.........so here goes...

the next card I made up uses the leaves, I had the idea to cut it out of a rectangle of card, then have a second rectangle under it, and colour this in autumnal colours with daubers (I love autumn colours) I've also used a couple of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive backed dots, as they tone in so well

 
Next one I created was using the little baubles, I really wanted something sparkly behind it, and thought yea! I can use the Whimsy and Wonder Designer Series Paper, then realised it's white and I was using Vanilla, ummm, however white card can be coloured..... and the iridescent stripes on this are amazing!  I've used 3 colours and applied them with my blending brushes, I've also used the Treasured Tags Punch to create the beautiful end to the tag.
Giving Gifts Dies, Stampin' Up!

And the last card uses the snowflakes and I couldn't resist using the new Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling Paper, OH wow what a shine! Purchase $90 of Stampin' Up! goodies and you can pick this paper out for free!  I've used the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder as I thought it tied in really well with the Be Dazzling paper, which is kind of mosaic'ish, again I've coloured this up with my blending brushes

Giving Gifts Dies, Stampin' Up!

I'm hoping this will link to the video I created!  FB live video it is a little blurry in places (sorry obviously facebook don't let you have a non-blurry video!)

Did you know that until 30th September for every $90 you purchase you can pick out a FREE Sale-a-Bration item?   Or, if there's so much you want, that getting a discount would be worth it, why not join my team, The CreateAbles, during Sale-a-Bration when you join not only do you get the amazing deal of pick $235 of products and only pay $169! but also you can choose from one of 12 new bundles from the mini catalogue! (bargain) let me know if you want more details!

 I hope this inspires you to create and use tags on your cards! 

God Bless love
