I'm continuing my quest to combine retiring products with some sneak peeks of new ones. Today's retiring products are the Tropical Chic Stamp Set and coordinating Tropical Dies, alongside the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper. My sneak peek is another new In Color, Just Jade. Like the Misty Moonlight I showed you yesterday, Just Jade has a muted feel, with grey undertones. I thought it would be perfect for this masculine thank you card. NEUTRAL BASE To ensure that the Just Jade ... VIEW POST
Tropical Oasis Meets Tropical Chic
I'm on a mission to introduce some of the new products from the Stampin' Up! January to June 2020 Mini Catalogue to old favourites from the 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue. Today's old favourites are the Tropical Chic Stamp Set and coordinating Tropical Thinlits. These pair wonderfully with the Tropical Oasis Suite. TROPICAL LEAVES I began today's project with a 3" x 4" card from the Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack. I love the big leaf pattern and this was the influence for ... VIEW POST
InColors Love And Thanks
Three weeks today I will get my hands on the Stampin' Up! 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue and I can't wait! Of course there will be a tinge of sadness as I'll also see what products we are losing. The 2019 Retiring List will be officially revealed on April 15th and then the madness will begin. I've already noticed that stocks of some of the 2017/2019 InColors are starting to show 'low inventory' which doesn't surprise me. These will definitely be retiring and could be among the first items to go ... VIEW POST
Mixing Paper Products
One of the things I love about Stampin' Up! products is the way everything coordinates. It makes it so easy to create lovely projects with the minimum of fuss. That was important during my personal World Card Making Challenge last month as I tried to design and make 24 different cards in 24 hours. Today's project is the last of those using layers of different paper products for a celebration card. A SIMPLE START I began this project very simply with a piece of Thick Whisper ... VIEW POST
A cute lion among tropical foliage
Do you love getting the maximum use out of your craft supplies as much as I do? When choosing a stamp set or dies I like to think of all the different ways they can be used. That came in really handy when playing with a cute lion image for this week's What Will You Stamp? challenge. As a member of the What Will You Stamp? challenge Design Team I was working on WWYS182 - A Little Wild. In addition to four sweet sentiments, this set contains line art images of a bear and elephant plus the ... VIEW POST
Summer dining
One of the things I love about Stampin' Up! is their stamp set and dies bundles. They make a simple stamp set even more versatile. Yes I could cut out images by hand but I love it when I don't have to, and of course getting a 10% discount when using the special bundle code doesn't hurt either. My regular readers will know that I may be slightly addicted to two specific products right now, the Tropical Chic Stamp Set and Tropical Thinlits Bundle, and the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions ...
