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.

Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 Hi There Creators

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'd see what else I could make up with the set, so here we go..... (and of course I had to use some of the new In Colours)

How fabulous are these dies!?  I love that as it cuts out the outside piece you get the great dotted inner piece!

I hope this inspires you to create (and look at your layer'ish stamp sets in a new way!)😁

God Bless love
