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 - New Saying Thanks Kit

 Hi there Creators

Today we're checking out this new kit that's been released, Oh my gosh it's gorgeous, and I created an extra card using some of the left overs.  And I worked out that the kit is $23 for 9 cards, so each card is only $2.56!!!  and that's not including the left overs and the box itself, what a bargain.

Check out (and maybe purchase) the kit here:  Saying Thanks Kit

Here are the cards I made: The top 3 are directly as the kit tells us to do them, then I get creative with the left overs 😍

Saying thanks Kit, Stampin' Up!

Saying thanks Kit, Stampin' Up!

there are a heap of little white hearts that get punched out of the 2nd card, so these, I've stacked and glued together to get little 3D hearts, then covered them with versamark and gold heat embossing powder and (carefully) heated them, to melt the embossing powder, I was thinking they'd look really cute on a present, especially with the white twine loops, but chances are by the time I'm wrapping up a presy I'll forget I've got them, so figured they'd better go on a card!

I loved the colours in the other cards, so thought I'd stick to similar ones, and I've used all the 2022-2024 In colour reinkers to create this watercoloured background. Re-inker links are:  Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet, Starry Night, Orchid Oasis, and Tahitian Tide.  To create this effect, I've damped down watercolour paper then inked up my watercolour brush, and dotted the ink around, it then spreads and once it dry's you can use it (so pretty).
