Goodbye Birthday Blooms

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Last week was our final Linc N Learn class for the term.  Being the end of term, my son was frantic to get one of his school projects finished.  I was recording videos and editing them etc, and needed help.  My help!  Which meant I didn’t even have a chance to think about what cards we would make for Linc n Learn.   Thankfully, that night, after I’d finished helping my son, an email came through from Sandi MacIver with a beautiful card!  So that’s what we made!

I pretty well CASE’d Sandi’s card exactly, mine didn’t turn out as stunning as hers though lol!

Birthday Blooms

I would normally never put Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate together, but it works really well.

We also created a blue version.

Birthday Blooms

I really do love this set.  If you love it to, best be getting it quickly, because it’s on the Retiring List.  The background has been stamped and embossed in White.  The main flower stamped in Black, and coloured with Watercolour Pencils.  I didn’t add any water to blend the pencils, just left them as pencil.   The striped paper is from the Petal Passions DSP.  I love the bold black and white stripe, and I wish that SU did a whole pack of just black and white stripes lol.  The DSP is also leaving us.

Okay, that’s it from me today!  Have a great day.

Goodbye Paisleys and Posies

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

It’s time to start saying goodbye to some of our stamp sets.  Today we’re saying Goodbye Paisleys and Posies.

Here’s a cute little square notecard that I sent out to customers back in February.

Paisleys & Posies

The card size is 10 x 10cm, so you’ll need to start with a base of Pool Party that measures 10 x 20cm.  I’ve stamped one of the small circle images from the set in the bottom left hand corner, and top right hand corner.

On a piece of 6.5 x 6.5cm Shimmery Card, I’ve placed down a wash of Pool Party Ink.  Using my Stamparatus, I stamped the sentiment over the wash.  Stamp the flower in Berry Burst and the Leaf in Lemon Lime Twist.  Grab your Aquapainter and paint over the top.  The Ink will bleed and spread a little.  Next, in the lid of your Berry Burst, make a watery puddle, pick up the watery ink, and flick it onto the card.  Take a piece of Berry Burst Ribbon and cut it longwise (so it’s half the width) and tie it around the bottom section of your card.

Adhere your Shimmery Card to a piece of Berry Burst 7 x 7cm card.  Use dimesionals to adhere this panel to the card base.

Here’s what the stamp set looks like.

Paisleys & Posies

This set also looks great when you use the emboss resist technique! If you love it, don’t miss out on it!  Grab it HERE $37 Photopolymer

Cheers for now

OCCASIONAL CATALOGUE RETIRING LIST PDF

ANNUAL CATALOGUE RETIRING PDF

Now, you will notice that alot of ink pads, refills and cardstock are being retired.  Two reasons for this.

On 31 May 2018, thirteen colours are retiring.

  • Elegant Eggplant
  • Island Indigo
  • Marina Mist
  • Perfect Plum
  • Pink Pirouette
  • Rose Red

The retiring 2016-2018 In Colors are:

  • Dapper Denim
  • Emerald Envy
  • Flirty Flamingo*
  • Peekaboo Peach
  • Sweet Sugar Plum

*Please note that while Flirty Flamingo is retiring as an In Color, it will continue to be available as part of our core colour collection.

You might like to take this time to stock up on your favourite colours of CardStock and purchase the matching reinker to your ink pads.  That way you’ll be able to continue using them.

Don’t forget as with any Retiring List, items are available until 31st May, or while stocks last.

Cheers for now

Shimmery Embossing Paste Video

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards, Videos

I really don’t know why it took me so long to crack open my jar of Shimmery Embossing Paste.  It is so pretty, and glittery.  Coloured with our reinkers, just makes it even more sparkly.

I’ve made 3 cards, all very similar.  Two at Linc n Learn, and one during my Facebook Live Card Class.

The first two are Linc n Learn cards.  Same card done in different colours.  The first one I’ve used Lemon Lime Twist and Bermuda Bay, the second card was Crushed Curry and Berry Burst.

Shimmery Embossing Paste

Shimmery Embossing Paste

I love how you can overlap the colours when laying the paste down, it creates a whole new blended colour.  I wish you could see just how much shimmer and sparkle is going on with these cards.

Here’s the card from my Facebook Live:

Shimmery Embossing Paste

And here’s the video to go along with it.  Don’t forget you’ll need to come to the blog to view the video.

For these cards, I have used:

  • Basic Black Card
  • Whisper White Card
  • Shimmery White Embossing Paste
  • Pattern Party Decorative Masks
  • Palette Knives
  • Silicone Matt
  • Lemon Lime Twist Reinker
  • Bermuda Bay Reinker
  • Crushed Curry Reinker
  • Berry Burst Reinker
  • Amazing You Sale a Bration Stamp Set
  • Celebrate You Sale a Bration Die
  • Metallic Sequins Assorted

A quick reminder that Sale a Bration is ending on the 31st March.  If you were thinking of joining, please consider joining before Easter, as the Stampin Up offices will be closed until the 3rd April (you know, just in case)

Cheers for now
