Midweek Blog 23/8/17 another Sneak Peek at the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalogue

Hi Friends

Welcome to my Midweek Blog in which I am offering another sneak peek at the Stampin'Up! Holiday Catalogue that is release on 1st September

This is the 2017 Holiday catalogue

I made this card using the new "Santa Paws" Stampin' Up! Stamp Set from the Holiday Catalogue

I made the card by folding the black card base in half and burnishing the crease with my bone folder. 

I first glued on the matt with the music pattern, and then glued on top of that the Real Red matt.

I then stamped the cat stamp onto the Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the sentiment.

Then the best fun of all was the water colouring using my Aqua Painter and the inks.

The sentiment and the picture are applied using dimensionals to give some height 

These are the products that I have used to make the card

Cardstock - Stampin' Up! (SU) Black 1/2 A4 sheet for the card base

Cardstock - SU Real Red 3 5/8" x 5 3/8"

Weekend Blog Stampin' Up! Oh So Eclectic and Subtles inks

Hello Stampers and Welcome to my Weekend Blog

Today I made this lovely card using the Stampin'Up "Oh So Eclectic" Stamp set and mainly Sublte shades of SU ink.

Using Stampin'Up cardstock in Bermuda Bay I made my A6 card.

I made my cut out window in the Pool Party card with the Oh So Eclectic die and taped the acetate window to the back of the card, trimming off any excess. 

I taped the white card down to my working area with washi tape, only covering the outside 1/4". then using the actual inkpads, I wiped across the white card with Marina mist, Pool Party and Soft Sky, making a random pattern. When I was happy with this I carefully peeled off the washi tape and glued the page onto the back of the window matt so that the colour shows through.

I then made the flowers using scrap Whisper White card. These are 2 step stamps and I find it best to do the background first and then the outlines. I stamped and cut out the sentiment using a Stampin'Up Stitched Framelits Circle Die and the sentiment is from the SU Eastern Beauty Stamp set. The stems are done in Pear Pizzazz.

Finally I put it all together with SU dimensionals and added the little bit of Pool Party Bakers Twine using a glue dot, to make the flowers look like a bouquet. I have highlighted the flowers and the sentiment with Wink if Stella pen which give a nice glitter effect. It is difficult to see here.

These are the items that I used to make my card

Card recipe:-

Cardstock Bermuda Bay 1/2 an A4 sheet 81/4 x 5" 

Cardstock  Whisper White 5 5/8 x 3 7/8
