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&

Something Saturday - Delicate Desert sneak peek

 Hi there Creators

today I thought we'd delve into some of the upcoming "new" stuff.  I wanted to show off my favourite suite in the upcoming catalogue.  Although just so you know the retiring list is out so check out the absolute bargains you can grab on that and also on the Clearance rack which has also had items added to it:  Retiring goodies,   Clearance Rack

As I mention the video, because I went to the Stampin' Up! Onstage event I was then allowed to do something called a PPP order (Product Purchase Premiere)  so it meant I got some of my goodies before any of the demos that didn't attend the event (exciting)! 

If you're a demonstrator you can now order this suite as a pre-order, however if you're a customer you'll need to wait till 4th January.  But it's fabulous so, put this on your list!

Here is the board I made to show whats in the suite:

There's stamps, dies, velvet ribbon and gold sequins
 

In the video I show off how I've coloured in the flowers on this card

As I used Bermuda Bay instead of the Cherry Cobbler, I ended up making this card with the flowers I'd created:

Delicate Desert, Stampin' Up!
 

Then I also made up this card using the fabulous long Aztec type design stamps to create the background

Delicate Desert, Stampin' Up!

Then lastly I promised to make a zipper card using the long die, and here it is.....  I really thought it would make great zipper look, and I've used the end of the diamond'y shaped die to create the zip puller.  I'm really pleased with the way it turned out, I do think it makes and effective zipper, what do you think?

I hope this inspires you to create (and if you want to find out more about being a demonstrator and getting to order things earlier 😉 just ask me)
