Weekly Deals – 03.09.2014

Hey, its that time again! Weekly Deals!

This weeks offering is a little different, no stamps, punches or embossing folders, no ribbon or embellishments. Actually, at first glance this weeks deals appear really rather dull! But that is where the surprises start!

Stampin Up! Weekly Deals

5 colours of ink refil! whats so great about those I hear you cry!

Well, where do I begin? first, they are a much needed tool to replenish those ink pads (and much cheaper than buying all those pads again!), they can be used to watercolour, with our Simply Pressed Clay (see above!), dye your ribbons, mixed with water and put into a spraybottle like our Stampin’ Spritzer to make a mist, and loads of techniques involving rubbing alcohol, shaving foam, and many many others!

So really, even if you dont own the ink pads in these colours, grab the refills now while they are such a great price! and use them for many different effects!

Awesome

A merry little star

Just a quick post from me today (I’m away with family, and realised I hadnt scheduled anything for you lovely people over the weekend), I have a super exciting post for you on tuesday, so dont forget to check back then. Also, before I get to today’s card, pop over to my Facebook page, for regular updates and news from the craft room!

 

Right, card time! The Autumn / Winter seasonal catalogue was released this past week, so I thought I’d make another festive card, but this time using mainly non-seasonal product (saying that the sentiment is from the lovely Festival of Trees stamp set which I love so so very much!)

Stampin up Christmas star something to say

So this card uses the same techinque as THIS ONE, embossing the edge of the card blank with clear Stamp Emboss Powder. This time I used that lovely swirl from Everything Eleanor. The stars are stamped using the star from Festival of Trees as well as Something to say (from the annual catalogue). Oh, and that red ribbon?! well, that’s white organza ribbon (its so pretty) coloured with my Real Red Stampin’ Write marker!

I love this card, and although it uses several different techniques it was super simple to put together!

Copy and Share Everything …..

I always find making birthday cards for children difficult, and I tend to gravitate back towards Stampin’ Up! Zoo Babies at every possible opportunity. I’ve had a few childrens (well toddlers) cards to make recently, including a first birthday ‘card-in-a-box’ that I forgot to photograph! Ooops! and had run out of ideas a little by the time another birthday came around, so where did I turn for inspiration ….. Pinterest!

Oh, Pinterest, how I love thee…… I use Pinterest all the time, to collate my ideas, record my projects, for inspiration for many things in my life as well as crafting. I love the organised way of creating ‘boards’, ensuring all my ideas about a particular topic are together – Stampin’ Up!, Wedding, Christmas etc. etc. Go and check out my Pinterest and follow along.

So, I was all out of inspiration, but thats OK, I have a Pinterest Board for that – CASE

CASE stands for : Copy And Share Everything, something actively encouraged by Stampin’ Up! So thats what I did

Stampin Up! Zoo Babies

Using the In Colours 2014-2016 – Tangelo Twist, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, and Lost Lagoon, the Zoo Babies Stamp Set, and some scraps of cardstock this was my make.

The recipient LOVED it!

Tuesday Tips! – Colour your pearls

I’m trying really hard to get into a regular posting schedule, and I want to give you more than just cards! So, I thought I would try and give you some tips, tricks, and techniques on tuesdays. Some of these tips will have videos, some will just be blog posts, I might miss a  week here or there (I work full time as a nurse, so some weeks are a little crazy busy round here!), but my aim is to post a few times per week, and I’m hoping this structured posting schedule will help!

So, for the first in a series of Tuesday Tip posts, I thought I would show you my current favourite technique – colouring my jewels and pearls!

 

If you have any techniques / products / ideas that you want more information on, or a video tutorial, leave me a comment below or use the Contact Me form

Tuesday Tips! – Stamp ‘n’ Punch

So this weeks Tuesday Tip is something I think people struggle with – using your stamps and punches!

Stampin’ Up! © are producing more and more stamp sets that coordinate with punches (and framelets, but thats a different day!) and I know sometimes its hard to line up your images to get good punched images, so here are my tips:

  • line up your stamp the same way your punch is orientated
  • Stamp close to the edge of your paper
  • get your stamped images plenty of room for your punch
  • dont forget its only ink and paper (or cardstock) you can always try again!

Until next time…..

A Cute little Something

My card for today uses one of my favourite stamp sets for childrens cards – Zoo Babies. I just think this set is so versitile! Stamp in subtle colours for awesome new baby cards, or (like I’ve done here) use your Brights to create a wonderful card for any occasion.

Stampin Up Something To say Zoo Babies

To create this fun card for my Cousin’s daughters Thanksgiving last weekend, I stamped each of the animals from the Zoo Babies stamp set onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock, one in each of a selection of Brights Inks; Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Burmuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Tempting Turquiose, and Rich Razzleberry! These were then punched out using my 1″ circle punch, and layered onto a color coordinated 1 1/4″ scallop circle.

A cute little something close up

The sentiment “a little something cute…. for your cute little someone” is taken from the Something to Say stamp set (it continues inside!), and is stamped in Real Red, to coordinate with the Card Base

I love this card, its super cute! for a super cute little girl 🙂

Inspired by….

Ok, so I have a confession to make, I watch A LOT of YouTube! A LOT! my excuse for this is that its my main source of inspiration. I love watching other people craft and create, I love watching craft room tours, and more than anything I love the mass of different ideas all in one place. I know a lot of people use pinterest for this, but for me its YouTube.

I subscribe to a countless number of crafters, creatives, organisers and others, giving me a diverse selection of ideas and projects, and this project is a ‘mash-up’ of YouTube and Stampin’ Up!

One of the people I watch a lot is Jennifer McGuire (her blog is AWESOME, go check it out!). Jennifer uses a number of different products, and I’ve made it a big of a mission to re-create some of her ideas (or CASE – Copy And Share Everything) using Stampin’ Up! product, so this is what this is……

Stampin' Up! festival of trees

This card uses the new Festival of Trees Stamp Set, available on the 28th of August. I love this stamp set, its so versitile, I can see ice-cream cones in its future! but for now I’ll stick with Christmas! It has a matching punch, making it super easy to ‘cut out’ the tree shapes, and it’s photopolymer so you can get these amazing two-step / layered stamping looks.

I love a couple of the techniques on this card, using Stampin’ Write Markers to colour the stamp (yes, it works on photopolyer stamps to!), using Old Olive and Early Expresso to colour the tree. I then used my Real Red Ink Pad to stamp the red dots (baubles / orniments / etc.). I stamped the stars in Crushed Curry on a scrap piece of Whisper White – I love that this stamp set also coordinates with the Star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack!

stampin up festival of trees

But my favourite technique on this card is the embossed edge! I stamped the chevron stamp from Work of Art down the side of the card blank in Versamark Ink, and heat embossed it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I then assembled the card, attaching the Whisper White piece with the trees stamped on, to the Early Expresso Card Blank. This looked a little bare to me, so, like Jennifer, I added a strip of colour, in this case a 1/4″ strip of Old Olive card stock.

The sentiment is also from the Festival of Trees Stamp set, stamped in Early Expresso. I added the stars using Glue Dots, and called this card finished!

The Seasonal Catalogue launches on the 28th August, drop me and email for a copy!
