The New In Colours!!

Here they are- the new in colours! How fun are they! This year they are definitely similar to the Bold Brights- they are just so fun and happy. I see a lot of Melon Mambo in my future!

If you would like to see these in person I am having an Open House/ Catalogue Release party this Sunday, July 5th at 1pm at my condo in Mississauga. I am sure that you will just love them! Plus I am going to have a few projects set up for you to do- I hope to see you there! For more information please see my events calendar

263- Star Fan Belt Card

This technique was reated and demonstrated by Ally Fereday at the Regionals in London back in March. As soon as I saw her card I knew I would have to try it one day

To do this I scored a bunch of folds in the middle of the card that were 1/2" thick. I then used sticky strip to attach the acetate pieces and seal the "fan belt". I used a 12x12 pieces of cardstock to make sure I had an average size card in the end.

Recipe:

Stamps: Pun fun, classic stars wheel

Paper: Brilliant blue, Summer Sun, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White

Ink: Brilliant blue, Summer Sun, Tangerine Tango

Accessories: Large star punch, star punch, acetate, markers, blender pen, sticky strip

262- Baroque Motifs Never Ending Card

I just can't stop making these- I love them! This is for a student that I have been working with who just loves this style of card- she is my biggest supporter when it comes to Never Ending cards! She is off to France for a course and this is what I made for her to wish her well. This may not make sense but I have always considered this colour combination to be very Parisian so I thought it was appropriate.

Recipe:

Stamps: Baroque motifs, polka dot background, sincere salutations

Paper: Pink pirouette, basic black

Ink: Basic black

Accessories: Black embossing, sticky strip

261- Asian Embrace Life Card

Once again I am practicing my sponging skills and following a Michelle Zindorf tutorial to inspire me:

I have never used this colour combo and just love it- I love Asian inspired looks. I was just over at Chantale's house and this card actually looks really similar to the furniture they have from Asia

Recipe:

Stamps: Embrace Life

Paper: Real red, basic black, gold

Ink: Basic black, close to cocoa, old olive

Accessories: White gel pen, versamark, ticket corner punch

Last Chance To Order

There are only 4 days left to get the retiring stamp sets and accessories- after Tuesday they will all be gone! Also, the prices will be going up in the new catalogue so if there are any items that you have had your eye on for a while make sure to get them before Tuesday.

Starting Wednesday we will be using the new catalogue and I am so excited! The items in this catalogue are just fantastic- and I absolutely adore the new in colours- they are very similar to the bold brights. They are lovely and cheerful.

Also- don't forget about my open house next Sunday, July 5th starting at 1pm. It's my second annual surplus sale/catalog release party!! I will be selling off most of my retired and extra stamping supplies. I will not only be selling off my retired Stampin Up items- trust me there are going to be many items here. All items will be at full catalogue price regardless of use. I will add up the amount of items you choose and give you a credit for that amount towards items in the new catalogue. You must use that credit on that day- it will not be held over. You will then leave with the old and have the new items on order- it is a 2 for 1 deal. Please remember that the credit does not include tax and shipping. This will also be a catalogue release party so you can come and see all of the new fantastic. It's an open house so I hope that you come prepared to stamp- I will have two projects prepared for you to do using items from the new catalogue. I will also have the new catalogue for sale for $5

260- Baby Tri shutter Card

I wanted to make a baby card for a friend and it was a perfect excuse to make another tri shutter card. Plus I got to use the duckie wheel- I love love the duckie wheel! These cards are just too much fun and are such high impact. The colours from the delicate dots DSP was perfect for this since they are nice pastels for a baby card.

Recipe:

Stamps: Pun fun, warm words, schoolbook serif letters, duckie wheel

Paper: Whisper white, delicate dots DSP

Ink: Bashful blue, pretty in pink, yoyo yellow, pumpkin pie

Accessories: 5/8" so saffron grosgrain ribbon, small and large oval punches, white embossing, 1/2" 1" 1 1/4" circle punches, build a brad

Eastern Blooms Class Planner

Here is my new class planner using the Eastern Blooms stamp set and Bold Brights paper to make 4 great Thank You cards. You will get all of the instructions and designs necessary to complete and demonstrate these fantastic projects. This is one of the sets that many demonstrators receive with their demonstrator starter kit so it's a great class to get started with.

This planner will give you step by step instructions to make these cards including over 40 colour photos. It also outlines all of the products that you will need to make the projects and suggested class prices. I also give lots of tips and upselling ideas as well as alternate materials that you could use instead of those featured here.

The cost of this class planner is $15 Canadian and it can be sold internationally. Once I receive the payment I will email you the PDF of the planner.

For my Canadian customers I am also selling this as a card kit. You will receive the Eastern Blooms stamp set, instructions, and all of the materials required to make 1 of each of the 4 cards (excluding the sentiment stamp). The cost of this kit will be $36 and this includes tax and shipping.
