Something Saturday - Petal Park Builder Punch

Image
 Hi There Creators I cannot believe it took me this long to get this punch 🤣  Once I started creating with it I actually had to stop myself to get on and do other things!!  If you don't have it I totally recommend getting it!  See this link: Petal Park Builder Punch. So in the video I create kind of 3D flowers using it, by curling the flowers, cutting them to the middle and overlapping one of petals on top of the one beside it, then layering the 3 flowers on top of each other, which looks really pretty..... (had to start with the most complicated 🤣) I also incorporated the beautiful Stamp set " You are Beautiful ", and the Sunny Day Iridescent dots (one of my fav embellishments currently) Then I thought I'd better just use them as they are without the cuts, and created this card And lastly simpler still, no layering the flowers and they still look lovely!  I stuck to the same colours for all 3 cards, the leaves done with Granny Apple Green Ink and the writing...

Something Saturday - Natures Paintings Kit

 Hi there Creators,

I was excited to receive this Natures Paintings kit, it's kind of like getting a colouring in book, but using watercolour instead😍

So for the video I picked out one of the designs to colour in and showed off 4 ways to use the watercolour pencils, and water painter that come with the kit. 

The 4 ways are:

  • using the pencils direct to paper, then using the water painter to move the colour around
  • using the water painter to "lick" the colour off the tip of the pencil and colour with it
  • colouring a block onto a scrap bit of paper, and using that as a dry paint block, ie add water and use that to colour with
  • then lastly and my preferred way, is to add a drop of water to a clear block, then scribble the pencil into the drop until it colours it, then paint with this.
I can't show you specifically where I used which technique as they kind of end up looking the same, however as I mentioned in the video I did think I could split the piece into 3 for 3 cards, and voila........

Stampin' Up! Natures Paintings kit

the first one uses the Sweetly Scripted Stamp set in the background, and some of the Adhesive backed dragonflies & birds.

these next 2 use this lovely saying from Layers of Beauty Stamp set.

I'm really happy with the way it cut up so easily to create the 3 cards, the last card uses pieces from both sides of the design, whereas the other 2 use the top section and the bottom section individually.
