Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words…and if that picture moves, it's even better! This video shows you how to use your photos in the My Digital Studio software.
I love the new Basic Rhinestones! I used them (albeit slightly crookedly, now that I look at this photo LOL) on this card to add a little something extra… Watercolour Trio was used for the image, which was coloured with Cherry Cobbler & Crumb Cake stampin' write markers to give the two tone effect. Night of Navy and Very Vanilla round out the colour palette of this not too fussy card.
Thanks for looking! If you're a regular reader of this blog (thanks, first of all!) you'll notice that I'm a little slower with my posts these days – just taking it easy and enjoying the summer weather (never mind the fact that the humidity has been slowing me down substantially! LOL). In August I have two events scheduled – the home decor blocks class and an Information Evening about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. If you're in southern Ontario (or within driving distance for that matter), it's a great time to be a demonstrator as Stampin' Up! will be holding a regional training event in Hamilton this September! This is a fantastic opportunity to get new ideas and inspiration – both personally and business-wise. It's also a great chance to catch up with friends. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my upcoming events!
For your viewing pleasure over the long weekend (at least here in Canada!)
Are you wondering what is all the "talk" about the new colours? Check out this video released by Stampin' Up! to give you an overall view of all the new colour collections:
I love two-step stamping – it's what brought me to Stampin' Up! products in the first place. Simply put, two step stamping is stamping an image in two (or more) steps. In this case, it's one stamp for the outline, and one (or more) stamp(s) for the coloured image. WIth the stamp set Awash with Flowers, the stem is separate from the large flowers and the flower head is a separate stamp, as is the solid leaf image for the stem. These solid images don't always line up perfectly to entirely fill the outline (even if you use the stamp-a-ma-jig – they're made that way!!) and I love the artistic look of this effect. It's also very freeing for me, not having to worry about getting everything "perfect". The sentiment is from the set Perfect Punches, which coordinates with various Stampin' Up! punches.
This card features Baja Breeze and Pink Pirouette, two colours that are now part of Stampin' Up!'s core colour offering. Daffodil Delight and Certainly Celery round out this palette. (Eh Team stampers, check the team newsletter for dimensions & more details so you can recreate this at one of your workshops!).
We created this card at the recent July card class. In September, my monthly card classes will re-start (taking a little break in August). Hope that you can join me at a class soon!!
is that you can create a unique and personal card each time! This is the card I made for my friends who were married this weekend. I used Stampin' Up!'s Shimmery White cardstock (which unfortunately doesn't look that shimmery here…) and the retired colour Sage Shadow, since I had some still lying around. The Sage was similar to the colour theme of the wedding, and the punched out circles also went with the theme. Their invitations had featured shimmery white paper with green circles printed on it…so I went with that as my foundation for the card. (See, you don't need to think up these things on your own!!). I used my various circle punches to create different sized circles, and then adhered them to the card. I used Staz On ink to stamp the floral heart (from the set Simply Said) and then coloured it in with Stampin' Write markers (Bashful Blue, Apricot Appeal and Pretty in Pink…I think). I added 2 Way Glue to the rim of the Sage circle and then coated it with Dazzling Diamonds glitter to make the focal point stand out. Voila! A unique, custom-made card! If you want to learn more about card making, please consider coming to one of my card-making classes. Contact me if you have any questions!
I love hydrangeas…and this card features a hydrangea bloom in my favourite colours using the Poppin' Pastels technique. The stamp is from Stampin' Up!'s Level 1 Hostess Set "Because I Care". (Workshop hosts can earn this for free – contact me for details).
The bloom was stamped in Versamark and then I dabbed Stampin' Pastels over the image. I initially used Bashful Blue in spots over the flower, then went over it again with Perfect Plum to get the varigated colours. The Square Lattice Embossing Folder for the Big Shot gave beautiful texture to the background piece of Whisper White, and I added a couple of Basic Pearls to complete the card. We did this at my recent Card Class (if you're interested in attending future classes, check out my class page or contact me for more information).
Thanks for looking!
