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 - Expressions of Kindness Kit

 Hi there Creators

Today I thought I'd break open a new kit - Expressions of Kindness. Oh my goodness this kit is absolutely gorgeous! I love that the most beautiful card base is actually double sided and has the pattern on the back as well as the front (very handy if you're happy to cut it in 1/2 and pop it on spare card bases, so you can make way more than the kit is intended for!)  It also comes with a mini stamp pad and stamp set, bonus! 😃

these are the 2 card styles that the kit officially makes:  Oh and how gorgeous are the matching envelopes?!💖

Then the reverse side doesn't have the gold foiling.  I had to trim the card down to fit on the base card, so I decided to add a portion of the side along the bottom, and used a spot of gold heat embossing for the saying again 😍

I am quite sure there's so much more you can do with this kit, I did see someone had cut up the pieces and used them in a scrapbook too (that's very clever!)

However, if you missed my video, and want to find out what my references to "hairy beard stamp" are.....


I hope this inspires you to create too.

God Bless love
