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 - Look what's retiring

 Hi There Creators

Today we're taking a look at some of the goodies that will be retiring from the Annual Catalogue (specifically ones that I currently own!)  I go through them in the video and mention if they're being discounted on 9th April, but bear in mind if you specifically want something, sometimes it's best not to wait, as things can be sold out before you realise it!  Here is the retiring list for the Annual Catalogue: Last Chance Annual Catalogue List

The Mini Catalogue is also retiring, but I haven't focused on that today, maybe I should next week, we'll see.....  anyway here is the retiring list for the Mini Catalogue:  Last Chance Mini Catalogue List

(I'm really hoping those links work!)  there is a heap retiring and it's worth checking if it was bundled whether the bundle is still cheaper or if it's worth purchasing the individual items separately if they've both been reduced to less than the bundle price (if that makes sense?) 

Anyway I'm not going to list them all now, I'll just show you what I created at the end of the video with the absolutely gorgeous Artisitically Inked Stamp set (being reduced from $42 to $29.40) , and although I didn't use them for these cards, the Artistic dies are being reduced from $61 to $30.50! (bargain!!)

I accidentally stamped the saying on a "wonk) so then had to stamp a whole heap more to make it look authentic 🤣  I mentioned in the video I felt it needed a bit of bling, so I've actually used some of the gorgeous Gilded Leafing, which is sadly also retiring (going from $15.75 to $7.87)  recommend you watch a video on using this before you open the container!  pretty sure this one here tells you about it: Artistically Inked with Gold Gilded Leafing

Look whats retiring April 24, Stampin' Up!
wasn't sure how well the gilded leaf would show up so I took a close up too 😁
Look whats retiring April 24, Stampin' Up!
Then after the video I thought I should probably use some of the retiring inks too....  so this one uses all the retiring In Colour Inks (and now I realise how much I actually like Orchid Oasis!)  Anyway retiring In colours are: Sweet sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis.
Look whats retiring April 24, Stampin' Up!
And again just in case it didn't show up well in the big photo the bling: 2022 - 2024 In Colour Pearls (which incidentally are going from  $12.25 to $6.12)  sooo pretty......
Look whats retiring April 24, Stampin' Up!
I hope you get the chance to check out the lists, and if you're not on my email list to receive these and other things, let me know!

Here is the video in case you missed it:

 


Hope these inspire you to create

God Bless love
