Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

 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...

Something Saturday - Tulip Dies

Hi Creators,

Well this week I thought we'd check out the gorgeous Tulip Dies they're a bit different in that 3 of them have special folds, which I felt needed a bit of explanation (in other words I had to check out what others had done too 😉)

So here's my "take" on it...... this is the card I made before the video

Tulip Dies, Stampin' Up!

I love the idea of the tulips being a bit 3D, so I've curled the card, and added the glossy stuff, which on the left hand tulip is the Shimmery Crystal Effects and the other 2 are done with the Fine Tip Glue Pen.  Mine sadly got all gunked up in the lid,  (there is a pin that's meant to go into the extremely fine tip, and the pin got a bit mangled!)  anyway more than one way to get round things, so I unscrew the lid and use a toothpick to apply it 😃 gives a lovely glossy finish.

Then in the video I show the components I used to create these 3 flowers: Here is the line up......

Then in the video I make up the flowers for this card...

I think the die that produces this squares pattern is pretty cool (and bonus! it's in with the tulip dies!!)

I was thinking it might make quite a nice sympathy card, but I think I'll leave it till I decide who I'm giving it to.  As you can see in the background I've added a purple wash using the thick water painter brush from the set, I didn't think it needed much in the background and I'm happy with the way it turned out - which card out of these 2 is your favourite?

 Check out the video, to see how I put the flowers together


 I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love
