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...

Something Saturday - Half'er cards using Trusty Toolbox

 Hi There Creators,

No not half a card🤣  Today I'm showing off the fabulous Trusty Tools Bundle, which just so happens to have matching Sale-a-Bration papers that go with it.  Sale-a-Bration (SAB) is on until the end of Feb, for every $90 you purchase you get to pick for free from the SAB catalogue (check out the whole offering here: Sale-a-Bration items.  Woo hoo!  There's also another fabulous deal when you join Stampin' Up! you get to choose $235 of goodies plus you get the glass mat studio for free OR and extra $50 of goodies in your pack and you only pay $169 (absolute bargain, let me know if you're interested!) or check out this link: Join Now link.   Anyway moving on to my "half'er" cards....

The Trusty Toolbox SAB papers have a heap of tools on a couple of the sheets, which is great, and for a scrapbook sheet they're fine, but round the edges if you're a cardmaker you kind of end up with a heap of "dud" tools (half tools), so I thought I can use those (and show you how to too)

Here goes.....  This first one I made up in the video

Then after the video I moved onto this one (just happened to have the "love you" cut out from the post I did on 30th Dec laying around on my desk), so figured I might just make this one up for my hubbie (now to find a non-suspicious reason to give it to him 🤣)

 And lastly I also had some off cuts bits, so I squared them up and figured it would work to "splash" them over the front of the card, as I did fussy cut all the bits out before the stamps & dies (that I'd forgotten I'd ordered arrived), but some of these tools and the paintbrush are cutoutable with the dies (ooo that's a good word isn't it, "cutoutable"🤣

Aren't they fabulous papers? and the stamp set is really cool that it has "fill" in bits to stamp - check it out with the link above.

I hope this inspires you to create!
