Colour Combo Blog Hop - June 2018

 
Good morning

Today I am joining in with a group of lovely Stampin' Up! demonstrators on a colour challenge.

The colours for the challenge are:-
 

Petal Pink - Blackberry Bliss - Crumb Cake

 



I love all these colours and they go absolutely beautifully together.
 
I have chosen to use the new stamp set called Varied Vases which has an accompanying punch.  Whilst I love all the dies I almost cheer when a set has a punch as it makes it far easier in classes!
 
Here are my cards:-
 

 

 

For the single vase card the shadow under the vase is from the Touches of Texture stamp set.  I used a blender pen to add the colour to the flowers and the Hello is embossed in White Embossing Powder.

 

 

 

For my second card I used Stampin' Blends in Crumb Cake for the vases, a blender pen for the centre flowers and Petal Pink Ink, lightly sponged with Blackberry Bliss for the poppies.
 
Thank you for dropping by and if you see anything that you would like to purchase then please contact your local demonstrator.  If you do not have a demonstrator then I would be happy to help.
 
I shall now pass you on to Kimberley.

Kre8tors Blog Hop - Annual Catalogue....

 

Hello and welcome to another Kre8tors Blog Hop.

 

  This month we have been tasked with introducing some of the amazing new products from the 2018-19 Annual Catalogue.

 

I have chosen to highlight the Share What You Love Suite

 

This Suite has been put together to celebrate 30 years of Stampin' Up! and incorporates our moto known as the:-

 

Statement of the Heart

 

TO LOVE what we do and SHARE what we love as we help others ENJOY creativity and worthwhile accomplishments... In this we make a DIFFERENCE

 

I have made a greeting card suitable for a birthday or just because and a matching gift box.

 

 

I cut out some flowers from the DSP to decorate both the card and box.  Whilst it breaks my heart cutting into the DSP, those flowers are just too gorgeous not to and with the added pearl effect, they deserve to be highlighted!  I added some simple loops of the Polka Dot Ribbon, it is so delicate and I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.  Here are some close ups.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for hopping by today and if you have seen anything you would like then please contact your local demonstrator or, if you don't have a demonstrator, I would be happy to help.

 

I am now passing you over to my dear friend Laura who, incidentally, I would never have met if it wasn't for our mutual love of everything Stampin' Up!

 

Happy Stampin'

ANNUAL CATALOGUE FOR 2018-2019 IS NOW LIVE!!!!

Good morning all

Today I have some very exciting news, in fact lots of exciting news!!!
Today sees the launch of the brand new 2018-2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.  As demonstrators we get to see the delights in advance of the release and I am so excited to now be able to finally share it with you all.  You can view the catalogue by clicking on the image below or, if you would like your very own copy, please get in touch.

 

 

As ever, we have been truly spoilt with all the loveliness but we also have some amazing new tools and products to enjoy!

 

One of these long awaited products is the amazing Stamparatus.  This truly is the best and only stamp positioning tool you will ever need.  It truly is amazing and the creativeness of the lovely Stampin' Up! demonstrators have also come up with some different ways to use the Stamparatus which makes it even more amazing.  I hope to share some of these with you in the forthcoming months.

 

 

 

"It was created by stampers for stampers, so it has all the features you want:

* Compatible with red rubber and photopolymer stamps
* 2 magnets to hold the paper in place
* Rulers on 2 sides for quick measuring
* 2 open sides so you can use larger paper
* Multiple hinges for more placement options
* 2 reversible plates for 4 sides to work with
* 1 foam mat for use with photopolymer
* 1 base with grid
* Magnet storage areas"

 

Click on the image below for a short video on the stamp placement technique using this amazing tool.  This is the first in a series of great videos showing the Stamparatus in action.

 

Some exclusive exciting news is that later this year we will be seeing the release of a storage solution to keep your Stamparatus in tip top condition!  The one thing us crafters enjoy most, alongside the amazing products of course, is storage solutions.

 

 



 Then of course we have the release of the brand new style ink pads which open like a compact and now stack on top of each other with ease.

 

 

You will notice from the picture above a few new colours which are joining us in 2018-2019.  There are five new in-colors namely, Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel, some returning colours and some more brand new colours also joining the beautiful colour collections.  See below for a quick recap on these amazing colours featured in my earlier blog post here.

 

 

 

I will be sharing with you some of the new suites over the coming months but here is a snap shot of some of my favourite things we have to look forward to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, one last thing, Stampin' Up! is celebrating an amazing 30 years this year so you will notice a few editions of pearly items for their 30th Anniversary.  Happy Birthday Stampin' Up!

 

 

I think that is enough excitement for one day but don't forget, if you would like to receive a catalogue then please get in touch or if you would like to join one of my classes then please let me know.

 

Happy Stampin'!

 

Jo
