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...

Cards for August classes

 Hi there Creators,

Well isn't August sneaking up on us fast!  We're back to our usual 3 classes in August: Wed 3rd at 10.30am (Laanecoorie), Thursday 4th 7pm (Laanecoorie) and Saturday 6th 10.30am (Maryborough). $20 for the 4 cards - You need to book for Laanecoorie, Maryborough you can just turn up, (although it's nice for me to know approx numbers)

I hope you can come and join us (more the merrier!)

Anyway on to the cards for the month......

First up I'm using the fabulous Wonderful World (we only have till the end of August to use it, so I thought I'd better!)  It's a Sale-a-Bration set, and combined with the designer papers you need to spend $180 to get both the stamps and papers for free (no other way to get them 😢)  Combined with the Decorative Circle Punch, and the gorgeous Sequins & Gems (that seriously look all like gems rather than sequins! - so pretty!)

Wonderful World, Stampin' Up!
Moving on to more "prettiness" if that's a word - if not I'm going with it anyway lol.

This one uses the Splendid Day Specialty papers, and the scrolled back technique, with flowers from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set, cut out with the flowers & leaves punch

splendid day papers, flowers of friendship, Stampin' Up!
These next 2 are an either/or, this stamp set North Pole Mischief cracked me up when I saw it, and having cats and a dog in the family, it felt so appropriate!  I've used the Stitched Greenery Die in the background.
 
North Pole Mischief, Stampin' Up!

And last but not least, I'm still in love with this Snow Crystal stamp!  I've embossed it in black (gotta go the black ice 😉) then used the blending brushes to brush colour over it.  It really is a stunning stamp!
Snow Crystal, Stampin' Up!

And that's it!  if you can't join us I do hope this inspires you to create.
Don't forget Sale-a-Bration is still on till end of August, so if you spend $90+ you get a free SAB product, or if you host a party, and the orders are $500+ you get the Perfect Pomegranate Stamp set for free, or you can join with the amazing choose $235 of goodies and only pay $169 plus you'll receive the beautiful Making Plans Collection (Planner/Notebook and stamp set)
 
God Bless love
