Take 2!! I’ve had some issues with the form on my first blog post, so I deleted and need to start again. So sorry for the inconvenience.

If you’re new to Me or Stampin’ Up! and are not quite sure how a share works, this is it in a nutshell:

I’ve taken all the new Designer Series Paper, the Specialty Papers and the Ribbons and have divided them all into 4’s. This way you can get a 1/4 pack of all the fun NEW goodies at 1/4 of the price!

This way you can either work out your favourite products, and buy full sized packs of them. Or the share size might be just enough for you until the next lot of new products come out (we always want the new right?)

For this round, I’ve separated the Pattern Paper from the Foils, Vellums and other Papers. If you have your catalogue on hand, you’ll be able to look up the papers, if not, it will be a lovely surprise 🙂

Do you ever get stuck for colour combinations when the new InColors come out? Each year Stampin’ Up! provide us with a little colour chart to get our creative juices flowing.

Click on the graphic above to download the full Colour Charts. I chose to use Evening Evergreen, Cajun Craze and Petal Pink for the following card.

I kept the layout of my card super simple. My flower is stamped in Evening Evergreen on Basic White Card. I then stamped the solid flower fill with Petal Pink Ink, and very carefully added a little Cajun Craze Ink to the flowers with my Water Painter. You really need to take care not to get the outline wet as it’s a waterbased ink. You can see in my close up that the dark green bled a little.

I’m still stocking up on my Birthday Cards, as I know I’ll switch to Christmas soon. For this card I’ve used the Happy Birthday Sentiment from the Artistically Inked Set. A little scrap of Cajun Craze card behind the sentiment helps tie in all the colours in the combination and balance the card. A few little Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gems finishes off the card.

Product List

So if you find yourself stuck with ideas for colour combos, grab that Colour Chart, pick a line and play!

Today I have some super simple In The Wild Thank You Cards to share with you. For these cards, I’ve let the Designer Series Paper remain the main focus. And even better, the DSP is on sale this month.

The great thing about using DSP for mass produced cards, is that you just pick a few patterns and go for it. Crushed Curry was a common colour in the all the patterns I chose, so that became my base, and the colour I used for the Sentiments (which came from Biggest Wish set)

I adhered my Thanks depending on which way the big cats were facing. I think they turned out great.

As I mentioned earlier, the In The Wild DSP is on sale – 15% discount, along with other Designer Series Papers.

Quick run down on the cards:

• Crushed Curry Card base is 26cm x 10.5cm, scored and folded at 13cm
• DSP is cut to 12.5cm x 10cm
• Thanks is stamped in Crushed Curry, bold image is just trimmed to suit, while the cursive image has been fussy cut
• Adhere bold Thanks to card front leave a small gap, adhere cursive Thanks with mini dimensionals over the gap
• Add some Rhinestone bling!

Product List

Quick little note before I head off – Friday night the 9th July I’ll be going Live on both my Facebook page and YouTube at 7.30pm ACT (Adelaide Time) for a little bit of card making. I hope you’ll be able to join me.
