Something Saturday - Create Along

Image
 Hi there Creators Stampin' Up! had a Demonstrator only event the other day, and showed us how to create "one sheet wonders" from a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP). I got inspired and added a bit more into it, and you guys get to benefit from it 😃  I hope you do craft along with me in the video, but if you need a bit of extra help, I have a Create Along PDF for you (hopefully I can work out how to attach it!, let me know if it hasn't worked!)  List of what you need below photos. Photos below of the 2 sets of cards I ended up creating: Here is what I used for this first set of cards:  Kintsugi Inspirations   I used Stampin' Write Markers that will be retiring as they run out, but you could just as easily use the Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) just use Memento ink with them rather than Stazon! And these are the ones I created in the video, here is the link for all the goodies I used for these cards: Absolutely Charming  (how pretty is this paper)! ...

Something Saturday - Reverse Stamping

Image
  Hi there Creators I thought I'd do a spot of reverse stamping this week, there's a really lovely stamp set: Elegantly Said, that has this cute little die that looks like 1/2 a butterfly, so if you know how to reverse stamp you can create the butterfly quite easily.  In the video I show creating the pink butterflies, I've then added the Pool Party Butterflies and the large flourish in the corners is also reverse stamped for the upper corner.  check out what I used here:  What Heather used This next card uses the Boughs & Blossoms stamp set, the leaves only go in one direction and as it's not a photopolymer set I can't bend them in the other direction, so reverse stamping allows me to get them to wave their way across the page (they'd make a pretty good wreath I reckon if you kept stamping them round!)  check out what I used for this card here: What Heather Used  Anyway, nitty gritty, how do you do this?  Easy peasy, stamp your main image 1/2 stren...

Something Saturday - Colouring in your stamps a different way

Image
 Hi there Creators,  Today I'm showing you how to use daubers to colour in your block image stamps, you can get the prettiest combinations of colour onto one stamp this way. I've used the Boughs & Blossoms Bundle (157712, $59.25)   (from the new Mini Catalogue) made up of the Bough Punch (157711, $31) and the Boughs & Blossoms Stamp set ($35, 157703)  I'd already decided I had to have the punch, and as it turns out we're using it in the Mega class on 29th January.  But when I see bundles I usually have to get both sections of it!  However the punch doesn't actually cut any of the stamped images out. Anyway on to photos..... this is the first card I had made up already to show, I've used my Brights colours on this, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Poppy Parade for the flowers, then Granny Apple Green and Garden Green for the leaves (admittedly Garden Green isn't in the Brights colour range but it goes well!)     Then in the video I made u...
