Technique Tuesday | Colour Me Irresistible

Stampin' Up! UK Sprinkles of life colour me irresistible;l

I’m a bit concerned that this fantastic Designer Series Paper may have passed you by in the Annual Catalogue this year! It can be found at the very top of page 142, it just looks like a series of coloured chevrons – but take a closer look! Its the most wonderful Designer Series Paper – do you remember the Irresistibly Yours DSP from Sale-a-bration this year? Well, its like that – but better! You get 12 sheets, all with fabulous patterns in ink resist embossing, but some are pre-coloured, while others are white – all ready for you, a sponge and your favourite ink!

Paired here with the wonderful Sprinkles of Life Stamp set, I can’t choose which version of the paper is my favourite! The one on the left uses the pre-coloured Colour Me Irresistible paper, while the right had card features the DSP that has been coloured by me with my trusty sponge and some Mint Macaron Ink!

Have I mentioned about the Sprinkles of Life stamp set by the way? Not only is it super cute! but also £2 is donated to Ronald Macdonald House Charities here in the UK for each stamp set sold! Awesome right! RMHC do fantastic work, keeping parents and sick children close together during some of the worst times, providing houses near to hospitals.

Sale-a-bration on Sunday

Ok, so I will admit I had sort of forgotten about Sale-a-bration on Sunday this week! So I apologise for the quality of the photo, but it is all a little bit last minute!

This week has been a little crazy round here – a long overdue visit to the grandparents at the beginning of the week, followed by a manic two days in the office, wedding stationary consultations, fabulous one-to-one training with my wonderful upline, a friends wedding, and a craft fair (today) has seen me slightly out of the game. I have had to cancel my Crafty Crop this month, as I just can’t be in two places at once. I’m so sorry, and but I have made a bonus blog project next week to make up for it!

So, card for today. Today is the very last card for Sale-a-bration on Sunday! I cannot believe how quickly the last 3 months have gone! you still have a week to get your Sale-a-bration orders in, and next week I shall round up all the things I have made with the lovely Sale-a-bration goodies this year

Stampin' Up! UK Sale-a-bration Irresistibly yoursI could not let Sale-a-bration end without using the Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper one last time! This time, Its sponged with Pear Pizzazz Ink, and the stamped using the Best Day Ever Stamp set.

I love the layers under the sentiment too – Decorative Label, Modern Label and then the sentiment on a 1 3/4″ circle

A vision in green!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Designer Series Paper! It is simply Stunning!

Irresistibly Yours is one of the great Sale-a-bration products this year. Stampin’ Up! describe it as a ‘White Paper with a glossy white pattern … perfect for colouring with a variety of techniques – colouring reveals the pattern.’ When this first arrived even I was slightly underwhelmed! But once you’re brave and apply ink to it! WOW!

Stampin' Up! UK Irresistibly Yours Sale-a-bration SAB Creme Egg

Can you see what I can see? Yes, Easter IS coming! and what is the best thing about Easter (other than the meaning!) yes, that’t right – Creme Eggs! Each year James argues with me that you can get Creme Eggs after Easter, and every single year I am right when they disappear from the shelves! I love them!

I knew Creme Eggs HAD to feature in my build up to Easter. And this DSP is the perfect way to showcase them.

Sale-a-bration on Sunday – Watercolouring with Irresistibly Yours

Hey! Welcome to another Sale-a-bration on Sunday!

I am loving Sale-a-bration this year, there are so many lovely products for you to choose from when you spend £45 in either the Annual or Spring/Summer catalogues. Although I love all the stamp sets that are available, I think the Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper is my absolute favourite item!

Stampin' Up! UK sale-a-bration SAB irresistibly yours designer series paperThis paper is patterned, but with glossy white patterns, making it perfect for emboss resist techniques – just like this one!

I have made a video tutorial for this, however it is super simple – I smoosh (technical term!) my ink pad face down onto my glass worktop, a large acrylic block would work just as well, and add some water to make a Stampin’ Up! coloured watercolour! and use a large flat brush to apply this ink/water combo into the paper. The glossy areas resist the ink and so stay white, rub over the piece with a cloth or piece of paper towel to clean the ink off though. The piece needs to be left to dry (or dried with a heat tool) for about 10 minutes before attaching to the card.

Stampin' Up! UK Sale-a-bration SAB irresistibly yours watercolour video tutorial

The card I make in the video uses Rose Red ink, and a Mossy Meadow Card base, while the other just uses Night of Navy. I would suggest that a deeper colour works best for this technique so that the white areas really pop.

The stamp is also a Sale-a-bration item – the Simply Wonderful stamp set, which coordinates with the Extra-Large oval punch!

Thanks for joining me for Sale-a-bration on Sunday, see you again next week for some more great techniques and crafty projects.

Sale-a-Bration on Sunday

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I wish I was crafting, but I am at work instead, oh well!

Time for Sale-a-bration on Sunday, my weekly look at the Sale-a-bration goodies available for FREE with any £45 spend with me and Stampin’ Up!

Stampin' Up! UK Sale-a-bration You Brighten my day

I have already mentioned the delights that are contained within the pages of this years Sale-a-bration brochure. I think though that the most surprising is a pack of Designer Series Paper – Irresistibly Yours. A pack of paper which when it arrives in your hands appears like 12 sheets of white cardstock. But then you feel it, and feel its glossy patterns. Then you ink it and it comes alive! 12 sheets of white paper with 6 white glossy designs on, all waiting for ink!

Stampin' Up! UK Irresistibly Yours Sale-a-bration

The stamp I have selected for this card also comes from the Sale-a-bration offerings. You Brighten My Day coordinates with several different punches including; the Note Tag Punch, the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, the Banner Punch, and the What’s Up! Punch. Check out this weeks Weekly Deals for some great punch offers!

The Card was simple enough to put together too! Half a sheet of A4 Lost Lagoon Cardstock cut in half, and then folded in half to create an A6 card. A piece of Irresistibly Yours cut to 5 3/4″ x 4″ and inked using a sponge with Lost Lagoon ink.

I grabbed my Lost Lagoon ink again to stamp the tag stamp, punched it out with the Note Tag Punch, as well as punching out a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock. Before finishing the card with a bow tied with Whisper White Bakers Twine! Lovely!

Its’s Challenge time again! – AW32

I do love a good challenge! And this challenge over at Around the World Stampin Challenges is particularly good!

AW32

I love using sketches when I’m scrapbooking, but using a sketch when I’m card-making isnt something I do much of! So, this really was a challenge for me.

Stampin' Up! UK AW32 Sketch Challenge entry

I decided to use new products from the Spring/Summer catalogue (and a little something from Sale-a-bration!) for this card. I just love using my new stuff! Don’t you?

The card base is Pear Pizzazz, with a matt of that fabulous Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration brochure. This paper is fabulous! When it arrives it just looks like 12 sheets of white 12×12 cardstock, but when you ink or mist it, it comes alive! The white paper has a glossy white pattern hidden on it, 6 different designs – dots, flowers, stripes, vines, stars and a sort of scaly pattern! So I grabbed for the dots here and sponged it in Pear Pizzazz Ink – I love that inky / blotchy look. It says “this card was handmade! with love and effort!”

The hearts punched using the Sweetheart punch, and the heart from Itty Bitty Accents. I stamped the new background stamp, Something Lacy, in Pink Pirouette, onto Very Vanilla cardstock before punching out the hearts and creating the sentiment banner. That sentiment by the way is another Sale-a-bration item!

I love the Sale-a-bration offerings this year. There is a great selection of stamps, papers, embellishments, Project Life cards, AND some blendabilities! all for FREE when you spend £45 with me and Stampin’ Up! between now and the 31st of March! Awesome!

Anyway, thanks for reading all my waffle today, and I hope you enjoyed the card!
