A New Ink on Life

Sale A Bration Coordination-Artisan Design Team Blog Hop 2

Hello everyone and welcome to another fabulous Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. Today we are excited to share some more Sale A Bration Coordination and Sale A Bration Second Release Product inspiration.  Customers are now able to start ordering these fabulous products starting March 1st! 

 

The Hello Cupcake Stamp Set has been a popular stamp set from SAB this year and I was so happy when I found out that there would be matching framelits for purchase. If I am being honest here, I am a bit of a lazy crafter and I will take the Call Me Cupcake (150072) coordinating dies over fussing cutting any day! 

What could be yummier than a chocolate cupcake with pink frosting?! I had a lot of fun putting this card together. I started with my colour combination of Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Powder Pink and Balmy Blue. It is hard to see in the photo but the watercolour wash is actually on Shimmery White Card stock and creates such a pretty effect. 

Here you can get a better look at at the cake stand cover. Fun Tip: I die cut it from a window sheet then embossed it using the Subtle Texture Embossing Folder to create a "textured glass" look.

Now remember, the Hello Cupcake stamp set can be earned for FREE during Sale A Bration with a $60 Canadian purchase and the coordinating Call Me Cupcake Framelits can be purchased for $37 Canadian. With the purchase of the framelits you are already over half way there to earning the stamp set! The Free Sale A Bration and coordinating products are only available until March 31st or while quantities last, so make sure if you see something you love to order right away.

Artisan Design Team February Blog Hop- Just For You

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! We are a group of 16 Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world that were chosen to represent Stampin' Up! over the course of the 2019 year, through blog hops, Facebook posts and corporate blog posts. Each month will will be be focusing on a particular set of products to bring you inspiration from around the globe Stampin' Up! style.  

This month I had the pleasure to working with one of my favourite bundles from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue; Dear Doily stamp Set and matching Doily Builder Thinlit Dies (150616).

I created two cards to showcase this awesome bundle and paired it with the stunning Floral Romance Designer Series Paper.

Here you can see that I incorporated lots of layers on this card with DSP, foil paper and die cuts. I wanted the gorgeous floral vellum paper to stand out so I backed it with Whisper White card stock before I layered it onto a piece of Copper Foil. Don't be afraid to stamp your sentiment over images to create added interest, like I did here. It's a great way to add more depth to a project. For the floral sprig I used Stampin' Write Markers and coloured directly onto the stamp to acheive a two colour image. I also cut the beautiful Variegated Ribbon down the centre to make the ribbon thinner and love how the frayed edges give some fun texture.

It's no secret I love patterned papers and in my opinion Stampin' Up! has some of the very best patterns ever created. The Floral Romance Designer Series Paper has a mix of pretty feminine florals, greenery, printed vellum and a wonderful wood-grain pattern. The delicate doily images were perfect for stamping directly on the wood-grain paper. I first inked up the images then stamped off the ink on a scrap piece of paper to create a lighter version of the ink, doing this helps give a softness to the images. The doilies were cut from Copper Foil and look so breathtaking in person. 

Next on the hop is the incredibly talented Kaylee van Es, I just love the way she used this bundle and make sure you check out all the other blogs along the hop as well for some amazing inspiration!

Sale-A-Bration Coordination Promotion - Artisan Design Team Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to another Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! We are all excited to share some amazing products that are premiering and are available to order for demonstrators today! These products will be available for customers starting March 1st. So now would be a great time to join the Stampin' Up! family. Not only could you get these items a month earlier, you can take advantage of this amazing opportunity with bonuses to your personalized Starter Kit only available during Sale-A-Bration.

There are several great products being released that coordinate perfectly with existing Sale-A-Bration product rewards and a few new SAB offerings as well. I was lucky enough to be chosen to work with the More Than Words Stamp Set (150069) and Story Label Punch (150076). I am a little bit obsessed with rainbows lately so I decided to utilize the 2018-2020 In Colours. These colours just make me happy!

I created both a card and a little treat bag with a tag created using the featured Story Label Punch. 

Here you can see some of the many sentiments that come in the More Than Words Stamp set. I chose to just use this set and combine the "Birthday" with the "Wishes", but there are many phrases in this set that perfectly coordinate with several current Sale-A-Bration offerings, like So Hoppy Together and Hello Cupcake.

To create the fun rainbow background I used Glossy Paper, Versamark Ink, all 5 In Colours and Sponge Daubers. I first stamped the wishes using Versamark ink on the Glossy Paper several times to create a background. Then I used Sponge Daubers, one in each colour of ink. Next I swiped and rubbed the ink across the paper in rainbow order. The cool thing about using Versamark on Glossy Paper then inking over it, is that the versamark words or images resist the colour. This creates a ghosting effect and is a really cool easy technique to share. I would suggest definitely using the Sponge Daubers and not just sponges, for me that was a disaster, lol. I had inky fingers for days! Also I suggest you take a piece of paper towel after inking to remove any extra ink from the background. 

For the card sentiment I stamped the "wishes" in Blueberry Bushel Ink then stamped the wishes bottom portion image in Tuxedo Black Momento Ink on top. Lastly the "Birthday" was stamped using Whisper White Craft Ink. For the treat label I used the Sponge Daubers again with the inks and swiped them across the Glossy Paper. The sentiment was stamped using Versamark but this time I heat embossed it with Whisper White Embossing Powder. Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots were added as a finishing touch.

Now it's time for you to visit the next blog on the hop. Kaylee van Es is amazingly talented and I am sure you will love what she has created. 

As always I have listed the items used in today's projects below. Please let me know if you have any questions and have a great day!
