Welcome to the INKsomniacs team blog hop - New Goodies out of the 2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue

Welcome to the Insomniacs Team Blog Hop!! 

The theme is New Goodies out of the 2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. I have to say that this is, by far, my favourite annual catalogue since I joined in 2003. One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is getting to play with new release products in a brand new catalogue. 

Today my focus is on the Share What You Love bundle.  This Suite was released to celebrate Stampin' Up!'s 30th Year and we've got 3 wonderful Bundles available as an Early Release. There's one for every crafter and every budget! Each Bundle comes with a free item! This bundle is available from the 1st of May 2018 and is a glimpse of some amazing new products.  I'll put up another post shortly so you can see each bundle.

Sometimes with a whole stack of new goodies to play with, it can become a little overwhelming.... so to get my creative juices flowing, I simply CASE the catty (meaning Copy and Share Everything). 

The first card I created was using a Mint Macron base and one of the gorgeous pre-cut die images from Share What You Love Embellishment Kit. OMG I just love this little box. It will most definitely be gifted to a friend full of Stampin' Up! goodies to inspire.

Using one of the little flower stamps, I stamped the image all over the card base in Mint Macron, used the watercolour wash shape on the die cut and stamped both the Sentiment and flowers in Call Me Clover. I then restamped the flower images and fussy cut them and adhered over the stamped images. 

I've scattered a couple of the Artisan pearls to put my own little touches to finish the card.

 

The second card features the Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured embossing folder, then sponged white craft ink over the raised embossing. I stamped the white craft ink on the Mint Macron cardstock with one of the flower stamps and had fun stamping the sentiment and filling in the spaces with flowers. I created the curves on the sentiment card using the Everyday Label punch.

 The Artisan Pearls again feature on this card. Such a lovely card with many focal features and textures.

Go For Greece Blog Hop April 2018

Go For Greece Blog Hop

Hello, My name is Tanya Kane and I live on the beautiful Central Coast in NSW, Australia. I've been a demonstrator for over 5 years; mainly as a hobbyist. But you know what?!.. I love crafting and love Stampin' Up! so decided that I was going embark on a new career and joined this amazing training group lead by Kylie Bertucci, to gain knowledge and inspiration.

Each year Stampin' Up! offer their demonstrators an incentive trip to reward their demonstrators for all their hard work. As the photo and heading depicts next years trip is to Greece. OMG Greece is on my bucket list and somewhere I'd just love to go... of course the other massive bonus is going with crafty friends from all over the globe!

Today I choose a gorgeous stamp set called Petal Palette. This set is so versatile. I just love the sentiments and the fonts. My favourites are LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER WITH YOU IN IT and SOME THINGS ARE JUST MEANT TO BE, LIKE THE TWO OF YOU TOGETHER.

I've used a strip of Petal Passion Designer Series Paper, die cut a Stitched Circle framelit out of Vellum and popped the roses on the top. I have used the Stampin' Blends to colour the roses and added a touch of Wink of Stella to make it sparkle.

Here's another one card created with Bermuda Bay. Same layout. Simple but sweet.

Super Quick and Easy Birthday card using the Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper

Quite often I sit and cut a whole pack of Designer Series Paper into card fronts and churn out 72 cards... Yes you read right, 72 cards.

The one that I am featuring in this blog today is the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper. I've also used the Sweet Soiree A4 cardstock pack; which coordinating with the DSP and features colours Marina Mist, Berry Burst and Old Olive. I love that Stampin' Up! are now putting these packs together as it makes it a cheaper and easier way of building up your cardstock supplies without the outlay of purchasing entire packs of the same colour.

When I'm cutting up a whole pack like this, I cut up the backing cardboard that lists all the colours as well as the name and order code... this is a handy go-to reference.

 I must say, the Old Olive is my favourite colour combo. I love how the Silver foil cardstock lifts this card from simple to stunning! The sentiment comes from Butterfly Basics.

Welcome to the INKsomniacs team blog hop - Monochromatic theme

Welcome to the Insomniacs Team Blog Hop!! 

The theme is monochramatic. I would usually stick to a black and white theme as that's what most think of when they hear that term, but I'm thinking outside of the box! 

I had a little difficulty deciding which stamp set to use. So I choose something that I haven't had a chance to ink up yet, and, that set is the Heartfelt Blooms. This set is a free stamp set that I redeemed when I spent over AU$90 during Sale-A-Bration.

I have teamed my designs with the incredibly stunning Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper, also free during Sale-A-Bration. This paper was definitely hard to cut up. It's so pretty.... one I'm sure that I would have kept this safely wrapped in its plastic and admired! 

This Springtime Foils Specialty paper features gold, rose gold and silver foil throughout and quietly whispers to me, less is more. I have used copper foil sheets as this closely resembles rose gold. 

Simple, stunning and just so pretty to look at. As I have used this DSP sparingly on each card, I have quite a bit leftover to create many, many more cards; to brighten more people's days.

Colouring using the Stampin' Blends Markers

Phew, I managed to survive the school holidays ... relatively unscathed hehehe. I say that because having the 5 children home and a load of ring-ins, I mean friends, certainly puts a brake on just how much creating I could get done.

BUT on the very first day that school went back I was able to sit, relax and colour in, using the Stampin' Up! Blends. I just love how fast and effortless laying colour down is.

Here are some pics...

Ok now that I've completed it, I can't cut it eeeek. Well all that work needs to brighten someones day. I'll let you know what I create from it when I can bring myself to cut it!

Picture Perfect Birthday Case the Catalogue Inksomniacs Team Blog Hop

Welcome to the Insomniacs Team Blog Hop!!

I have been so excited to play with the Picture Perfect Birthday suite. Amazingly, I have pushed myself out of my comfort zone using such bright and bold colour combinations... but I've loved it!!

I've used Bermuda Bay for the card base and stamped the little confetti stamp multiple times in Bermuda bay then layered some Picture Perfect Birthday Designer Series Paper banners. I loved the look of the paper ribbon so created that look with my snips using a strip of Berry Burst.

Those doughnuts look soooo tasty, they almost jump right off the card.... don't they?! What fun Designer Series Paper!!

I have stamped the Treat Yourself sentiment in Bermuda Bay on Lemon Lime Twist and popped up on dimensionals and adhered the Happy Birthday.

There was more than one reason I chose this stamp set and DSP. I challenged myself to pick something that I normally wouldn't do. I have been pleasantly surprised by the cards and creations that I have made and the response from customers has been amazing!!
