<br />
The idea is to stamp over more than one layer of cardstock and then you mat each individual piece onto co-ordinating card before sticking your image together. Often when you first stamp, you will find there is a border around the card where the stamp didn't make perfect contact with the layer underneath, but once you have added your mat of card, this is covered up.<br />

I also soon realised how easy it was to make cards for every occasion with birds firmly in the picture.<br />
<br />
I set about creating 4 cards, (which in total include 5 birds), each one for a different occasion:<br />

<b><u><br /></u></b>
Using the flying home stamp set with its cute bird images, I have used watercolour pencils to colour it in. The background ids the tree ring background stamp, whilst the celebrate sentiment is a sale-a-bration thinlit<br />
<br />
Any of the images on this stamp set would have worked for a new home, but equally for New baby, wedding or anniverary.<br />

Here's a card I need far too often. Sorry it is late. I love these quirky images in the bird banter stamp set and this sentiment just made me laugh. I did some masking of the parrot so I could add the balloon and branch without getting lines all across my bird image. I used the stampin' blends to colour in.</div>

Best birds and the matching framelits come from the annual catalogue. I dug out my husband's childhood bird book to choose the colours of stampin' blends for my bullfinch and the other bird is coloured to look sparrow like. You can change these birds just by changing the colours. I die cut the birds and branch and positioned them nuzzling together to make an anniversary card. The marina mist background is the large stamp from the "You've got this" stamp set.<br />

I certainly haven't exhausted the different bird images currently available from Stampin' Up, but it is not a bad start. If any of these have taken your fancy, either click on the stamp images to be taken to my online store, or get in touch.</div>

I spend all my time making cards, but I am hopeless at sending them. I'm always forgetting birthdays and never just send cards just because... It is something I need to get better at. When I saw the perennial birthday kit in the sping/summer catalogue and saw it on display at our On Stage event last November, I knew that this was something that was not just beautiful, but that also had a practical application. A pretty box with a filing system that allowed you to make note of when everyone's birthdays were and to store the cards ready to send.<br />
I created a little video to show all the different components you get in this kit:<br />

I have had a play with the kit and created the cards as they are laid out in the leaflet, but with these kits I will often make some as the leaflet suggests and then have a bitof a play with some of the others. Changing orientation, embellishing differently, mixing up the sentiments. That is the joy of these kits. If you just want to follow a "recipe", you will be able to produce beautiful cards, but if you feel a little more adventurous you have the ability to get really creative with the components,</div>

When I received my Perennial Birthday stamp set, I had accidentally got the wood mount set. Knowing my stamparatus will be arriving soon and having a preference for stamps I can put on clear blocks, I thought I would attempt to adapt these stamps and I was very pleased with the results. I needed to peel the sticky foam layer off the back of the rubber stamp and this I did by gently heating the back of my stamp with my heat tool to soften the glue. I had seen some posts that suggested putting your stamps in the microwave, but I felt a little reluctant to do that. I then attached some ez mount cling foam to the back of the stamps and cut around them. Voila, a set of stamps all ready to use with my clear blocks- or my stamparatus.</div>

On Saturday February 17th I am holding a class where you will receive this kit and I will bring along the stamps, ink and equipment you need to complete the cards. I will also have ideas for ways to change them up a bit and alternate uses for the stamp set. I would love you to join us. The cost of the day is £30. Drinks and snacks are provided, but bring your lunch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Alternatively, I can host a private get together for you and a few friends, or you could purchase the stamp set and inks along with the kit and make it up at home, then use those stamps and inks time and time again. The added bonus is, if you buy those supplies now, you will qualify for a sale-a-bration item. Win, win.</div>

When I saw the Party Panda stamp set in the sale-a-bration brochure, it was love at first sight. The pandas are just so cute. They just call out to be masked and grouped together and to have accessories added. They are perfect for small people, but also for valentines. wedding. engagement and of course birthday.<br />

I stamped a whole cluster of pandas in memento ink and used my stampin blends to colour them. I used a small flower from the beautiful bouquet stamp set, some heart shaped enamel shapes and some gold sequins to accesorise.</div>

They were just ready to be put onto card blanks to create a whole bunch of cute and versatile cards. But sometimes you just don't want to give away the lovely things you've stamped, so I have used these little ones to create a home décor piece</div>

This 10" square frame has an insert to create a 9" square aperture. I cut a 12" square piece of real red card down as a background, because I felt it needed to be bright and bold.</div>

Bright colours, fun images and sentiments, suitable for young, old, male, female, what more could you ask from a bundle. How about get the paper for free. That has to put an extra smile on your face<br />
<br />
This is another set that Stampin' Up have created a video for, so do check it out:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7vujs-_nACU/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7vujs-_nACU?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bundle in the Spring/Summer occasions catalogue includes a stamp set and the co-ordinating die set. The bottle dies and bottle top die also fit the images in the co-ordinating paper, that is only available for free with a qualifying order from the sale-a-bration brochure. Because of that, you need to ensure that if this is on your wishlist, you order it before the end of March.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've had a couple of opportunities to play with this set. One of my cards was a make and take from "On Stage" in November last year when we were first introduced to this set. Another was designed by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vujs-_nACU&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">Joanne</a> as part of our teams Christmas get together, where we had a shoebox swap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My other two cards I have both made this week. This is such a fun set. I love the little additional background elements that you get in the stamp set - bubbles and the stain rings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other little embellishments that are new in the Spring/Summer catalogue, that work so well with this bundle, is the clear and glitter epoxy shapes. These fit perfectly in the bubble patterned paper in the free collection, but are equally lovely on lots of projects - raindrops, dewdrops, as well as bubbles and condensation on bottles. Of course, the old faithful sequins are also brilliant for adding some fizz.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So if you fancy this bundle of stamps and dies, you need to find a couple more things to make up a £45 order to qualify for your free paper. Those embellishments are just the thing.</div>

This beautiful "distinktive" stamp is a new patent pending type of stamp and can create stunning multi-dimensional images with just the one main stamp.<br />
<br />
Stampin' Up have produced a video about this stamp, so check that out<br />

If you would like to gather together with some friends and create a card like this lovely fresh fig example, there is no better time than sale-a-bration. As well as your guests being able to choose a sale-a-bration item for free with a £45 order, there are also additional benefits for a hostess. If you generate £200 of sales, you get an additional £20 of hostess benefits on top of the normal offering. </div>

There were 3 different designs and each attendee created 2 of each, to give them a stack of beautiful cards.<br />
<br />
The suite consists of a stamp set, co-ordinating dies, a pair of embossing folders, a pack of designer series paper, some white organza ribbon and some embellishments. There is also a set of memories and more cards that co-ordinate with this suite.<br />
<br />

The paper and cards are basically black and white which is always beautiful in itself, but there is potential to use a variey of mediums to add colour to them<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This first class used one of the embossing folders, one of the dies and one of the stamps. We used our aqua painters to water colour the rose, which had been stamped onto glimmer card and die cut with the largest label die. The Always Artichoke layer was embossed with the vine effect folder and the trellis element was die cut from rose red card. Once assembled the card was finished with some of the beautiful new glitter and clear epoxy shapes.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another stamp, a couple of different dies and the other embossing folder form the "Petal pair" that is included in this suite, The bird was stamped in marina mist and given a so saffron tummy to create a blue tit. The foliage was cut from wild wasabi card. The white layer was embossed with the floral folder from the pair. It is a beautiful deep embossed image. The predominantly marina mist and white colours in this card give it a clean fresh look.</div>

For this final card we used a 4" square of the designer series paper, which we coloured using the 2 shades of rich razzleberry, pink pirouette and old olive Stampin' Blends, our new alcohol markers. We stamped, die cut and coloured the little sprig of flowers and die cut the greeting label. We then layered it with pink pirouette and black card. Some rich razzleberry ribbon was wrapped around with a knot added for a final accent before adding to a scalloped card base that I had in my stash.</div>

The 2nd Tuesday evening of the month is the time for capturing those cherished memories and yesterday was no exception.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have not historically done a lot of scrapbooking, so my memory keeping is an evolving skill. I wanted to create a 12"x 12" page with some of my photographs from Christmas Day and using the, now retired, Merry Little Christmas Memories and More card pack.</div>

A 12"x12" blank canvas can seem quite daunting, but by using a mixture of photographs and different sized cards, I was soon able to bring together a page I was happy with. The colour co-ordination has already been done for you. There is a selection of sentiments and journalling cards as well as cards I can cut up to create accents, like the little banners on this page. The addition of a couple of stickers from the accessories in the pack and a doodled line around the edge and the job is complete.<br />
I love using these memory and more cards in the pockets, but it is good to be able to utilise them on a large page layout as well. This may be a Christmas page, but there is no reason it couldn't equally have been a baby page with the bundles of love collection, pictures of the garden with the petal gardens collection, or a wedding with the petal passion collection.<br />

I have spent some great times with my upline, Joanne, (known to many as the <a href="http://blog.thecraftyowl.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafty Owl</a>). We have shared many a hotel room over the last few years,and lay awake until the early hours chatting and laughing. We've shared waffles and chips in Belgium and pancakes in Amsterdam. This week we had arranged to meet up for coffee and share our plans and dreams for the coming year. Imagine my excitement when she posted that she had received her stamparatus, the new stamp positioning tool that Stampin' Up! has developed. Joanne was part of the worldwide team of demonstrators who had been involved in the development of this fabulous tool and all that crafting know how is the reason why, in my opinion, it is going to set itself apart from all the others on the market. As a well deserved reward for all their hard work, over many months, this team of demonstrators who had worked on the project, understandably, received theirs first. We still shared our hopes and dreams, but because I'm a lucky girl, Joanne also shared her new toy.<br />
<br />
On a whim we decided to create a video on my phone of me using the stamparatus. It was impromptu and is not edited in any way. We quickly came up with a plan for the card we were going to create and then action.....<br />

I was already excited about the prospect of receiving my stamparatus in about a month, but now I really can't wait. I liked the size, the weight, the ease of use and the sheer possibilities it offers. If you haven't already reserved your tool, the next opportunity will be when the annual catalogue launches in June, but that will give you lots of time to soak up all the inspiration that will be coming your way over the next few months. And I mustn't forget the delights of that stamp set and die combo. The "Amazing You" stamp set and "Celebrate You" thinlits are both offerings in the Sale-a-Bration catalogue, so this means you can't buy them, but you can earn them. You can choose the stamp set with a £45 order. The dies are available as a choice with a £90 order. It is worth noting that these dies will be available to purchase in the 2018-2019 catalogue, but why pay for them then, when you could earn them now.</div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Happy New Year to you all.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As we welcome in the New Year, the excitement mounts as we look forward to the launch of the 2018 Occasions catalogue and the start of this years Sale-a-Bration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The occasions catalogue is full of lovely stamps, paper, tools and embellishments to enable us to create an abundance of projects for all those up coming occasions - Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Easter, Father's Day and weddings and birthdays over the spring and early summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the 4 years that I have been a demonstrator, the Sale-a-Bration offering has just got better and better. This year the collection that is available for you to choose from when you place an order of £45 or more, is beautiful. Also, for the first time, if you spend £90 there are 2 higher value options to choose from - a double stamp set or a set of dies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course Sale-a-bration isn't just about freebies when you make a purchase. If you host an event and achieve sales of £200, you automatically get £20 extra to spend on products of your choice,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And for those of you who really have an eye for best value, then consider joining up. Not only does your £99 buy you £130 of product of your choice, but you also get to pick 2 stamp sets of your choice. If those choices are from the higher value stamp sets you can easily have twice the value of product for your money.</div>

I created this card for a shoe box swap we had at a Christmas team event. The stamp set is called "Lots of Lavender" and is one of the sale-a-bration sets you can earn with a £45 order. The greeting comes from the set called "Picture Perfect Birthday" and that is to be found in your Spring/Summer Occasions catalogue. The embossing folder is one of 2 folders you get in the Petal Pair embossing folder collection. also in the spring/summer catalogue. The ribbon, also new, is whisper white 1/4 " organza. The stitched ovals and scalloped ovals are of course old favourites, as are the scattering of rhinestones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card base is elegant eggplant cardstock and the embossed layer is wisteria wonder. The sentiment stamp and outline image of the lavender were all stamped in elegant eggplant. The "colouring" was created by the stamps in the set for this purpose. I used wisteria wonder for the flowers, always artichoke for the leaves and rose red for the bow.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like this pretty little watercolour effect card and can see this stamp set becoming a favourite.</div>

This is when you add drops of re-inker to a folded baby wipe and essentially use your baby wipe as your ink pad.<br />
With this technique you can keep your colours separate to enable you to pick them up separately, or you can allow the colours to blend together to give gradations of colours and mixes of colour.<br />

For this first card, I used 3 drops of different shades of blue along the fold in a baby wipe and swiped the colour across the shimmery white cardstock. I then stamped the greeting, dragonfly and spots over the top and added some blue sequins.</div>

For this card I dropped the garden green, crushed curry, island indigo and perfect plum inks into the separate corners of the baby wipe to keep them apart. I was then able to pick up the individual colours for some stamps, like the ferns and spots, but also to use a combination of colours for the dragonfly.</div>

I used the same baby wipe for this card, but this time, I twisted the baby wipe round on the card stock to achieve the swirl of colour which I have then stamped over and heat embossed with gold. I also used the babywipe to swipe some colour around the edge of the card and as my palette for the small stamps in the background.</div>

For these 2 cards, I dropped my ink centrally in the baby wipe so they blended together giving a multi-tonal effect. These stamp palettes develop as you use them and the colours merge together, giving different results every time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you keep your inked baby wipe in a sealed container/bag you can go back and reuse it multiple times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are going to end up with inky figures with this technique, but it is great fun and with so many different colours in the Stampin' Up range, the combinations are huge.</div>

I am going to regularly share a product or two that I currently really love. I don't know about you, but I can have a new favourite every day, at least!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I first saw the "Everyday Hero" stamp set, I knew there were going to be several members of my family that would appreciate projects created with these super stamps. They are fans of the Marvel films and love a bit of superhero action.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was an obvious go to stamp set when my son-in-law celebrated his 30th birthday last weekend. I have made a variety of these styles of pop-up box cards over the years and it seemed the perfect style to create the illusion of city skyscape with a "Super Stuie" emerging from between the buildings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the buildings several times and snipped pieces off to build up the city. I coloured the super hero with stampin' markers, using a watercolour pencil to give me a soft skin tone. The stars on the background were created with the confetti stars border punch. The happy birthday came from the "Birthday Banners" stamp set using the coordinating "Bunch of Banner" framelits. For the "Super Stuie" sentiment I used the incredibly versatile "Labeller Alphabet" and the numbers were cut using the "Large Number" framelits.</div>

And I have to give a huge shout out to some other very creative people; the folks who created this fabulous KFC bucket cake. Everything except the board and cocktail sticks were edible. It was amazing. You can find Amanda and Carol's Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Tastastetemptationcakes/?pnref=story" target="_blank">here</a>. Do check them out.</div>

Now, it is time to think about Christmas. I have had a few ladies express their desire to try and make a couple of cards a week over the coming month, so that by the time Christmas comes round they are all prepared with lots of home crafted cards for all their friends and family. To assist them in their quest, I have set up a special Facebook book called "Christmas Quackers", where we can share inspiration and motivate each other, If you would like to join in, click <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/christmasquackers/" target="_blank">here</a> and ask to join.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So Sale-a-Bration and the new Spring/Summer catalogue are well under way and we have been playing with some of the new offerings in my classes and gatherings over the last week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are some really useful stamp sets in the free Sale-a-Bration offering this year and the "Delicate Details" is no exception. It consists of a selection of 5 long border stamps with lace details. Perfect for so many borders and edges on cards and scrapbook pages. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my card, however, I wanted to use it as the main feature. I layered all the stamps up on a large acrylic block and stamped them, with Versamark, at the top of my piece of whisper white card and then stamped it going the other way on the bottom of my piece of card. I then selected a couple of the strips and stamped them in the centre to give a continuous lacy pattern down the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then sprinkled clear embossing over the images and heated the powder with my trusty Stampin' Up heat tool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwhIMp9A6EBC-VegffU0GMsobj5zufpc1BjR5Z6T3eHR81AbdC-gYSXj2rG2fMFZmVGHs5iENOKfrkswrsmAcnsiBOS9292RTgM8BL5Xhq6X1tsFVdc1tbldY3Biu2j9pASukINI99-R8/s1600/watermarking+delicate+details+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwhIMp9A6EBC-VegffU0GMsobj5zufpc1BjR5Z6T3eHR81AbdC-gYSXj2rG2fMFZmVGHs5iENOKfrkswrsmAcnsiBOS9292RTgM8BL5Xhq6X1tsFVdc1tbldY3Biu2j9pASukINI99-R8/s400/watermarking+delicate+details+2.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I let the powder cool for a minute and then got out my selection of blue inks and matching sponges. You could of course use any colours, or combinations of colours. I used Dapper denim, Marina Mist and Pool party. I sponged Dapper Denim on the top and bottom, then blended in the Marina Mist and finishing with Pool party in the centre. I burnished it with a piece of kitchen roll to remove any excess ink from the embossed areas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut some sections from the new lace doilies (these are vanilla on one side and white on the other). Using the white side, I placed one on the card as as it was and sponged the other with dapper denim ink before sticking it on. I wrapped some dapper denim ruched ribbon around the card and added a small bow on top, fixing it with glue dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the sentiment from the new "Suite sentiments" set onto a piece of pool party card and punched it out with the decorative label punch. I then punched a second decorative label from marina mist card and cut it in half and trimmed it slightly and layered it underneath the pool party piece. I mounted these onto the card front with dimensionals and added a self adhesive metal rimmed pearl as a finishing touch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then mounted the whole card front onto a card base I had created from half a piece of A4 Dapper Denim cardstock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you think you may need this stamp set in your collection, remember you can only get it as a free gift when you place a £45 for any other items from the current catalogues. Do take the time to browse the catalogues to check out all the fabulous stamps, dies, punches, papers, inks and so much more.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Of course, this catalogue isn't the only thing launching today. We also see the start of Sale-a-Bration, Stampin' Up's largest annual promotion. There are three ways of benefiting from Sale-a-Bration.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #749aa7; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; text-transform: lowercase;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">shop!</span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here’s the deal: for every 60 €/£45 you spend (before shipping and handling), you get a FREE Sale-A-Bration product. That means it’s the perfect time to purchase those products you’ve had your eye on while earning more products for free. If you spend £90 you get 2 and so on.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Need another excuse to get together with friends? Just host a qualifying party with at least 275 €/£200 in sales during Sale-A-Bration and you’ll earn 27 €/£20 more in Stampin’ Rewards! You can even apply your Stampin’ Rewards towards a Starter Kit and become a demonstrator yourself!</span></div>

The second stamp set that I received to create my display pieces for Telford was called "Oh so succulent". If you look around you will see succulents all over the place. They are very on trend. I saw some fabulous glittered ones in the run up to Christmas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I searched pinterest for succulents to get ideas for colour palettes to use and so in this 3D project I used shades of green and pink and yellow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I now know that there is a set of dies to coordinate with this set, but mine were all cut by hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The box was created by stamping the hardwood background stamp onto crumb cake card. The metallic bands and screws were created from copper foil. The sentiment was embossed with copper embossing powder. The little hand trowel comes from the "gift from the garden" stamp set.</div>

This little gift bag was made from the gold foil acetate and then one of the succulents was stamped and embossed in gold on a strip of wild wasabi card and a wild wasabi tag that was die cut using the "tags and labels" framelits</div>

A variety of succulents were stamped on the centre panel of this card in tip top taupe and cucumber crush. The side panels were attached with dimensionals to give them some height, Some pearls were added to the centre panel and some linen thread swirled behind the sentiment banner.</div>

I used sweet sugarplum for the succulents I stamped in this jar with a "Happy Mothers Day" greeting that comes in this set. The jars from the annual catalogue are so versatile and you can fill them with all sorts of things. A few sequins were scattered over the background of the card and some of the sweet sugarplum ribbon from the succulent ribbon duo set wrapped around it. Some dsp and old olive card were added to make up the mats. </div>

My final project using this set was a 8"x 6" project life page featuring pictures of Mike and I on our wedding day ( we celebrated our 30th Anniversary last May) and on our daughter's wedding day in 2014. I used the lovely sentiment from the succulent set- "The best love story is the one you make together". I also used some of the stamps to decorate the background of the pocket I created. The wooden embellishments are featured in the new Spring/Summer catalogue and they are gorgeous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think this stamp set is going to be very popular,particularly when it is teamed up with the dies and I look forward to creating lots of other projects with it.</div>

Today I would like to share some projects I made with the welcome greeting from the "Vertical Garden" stamp set</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In 2016 we were blessed with our first Grandchild, my beautiful Granddaughter Thea. We are now eagerly awaiting the arrival of our Grandson in 2017. It was therefore very apt that I should create a welcome to the world card. I used the welcome greeting stamp and the stamp that creates the shadow effect. I used the"Brushwork Alphabet" set to form the "to the world".The ducks came from the "Something for Baby" set, as did the small stamped hearts. The "wave"s were created using a piece of fabulous foil acetate.</div>

Another good occasion to welcome someone, is when they join your team of Stampin' Up demonstrators. This time I stamped the greeting onto whisper white and cut it into squares. I used stayzon ink to stamp the flourishes from the set onto some ribbon. The "to my team" sentiment was created using the "labeler alphabet". As we head into the sale-a-bration promotions, there has been no better time to join my team. If it is something that interests you, do get in touch.</div>

If you have someone new in he office, or in your street, how about a little welcome gift in a bag. The bag was created with the gift bag punch board and paper from the "blooms and bliss" pack. I again used the shadow with the welcome greeting as well as the twirly flourish from the set to create the tag. The succulents ribbon pack contains both white and this sugarplum ribbon. It feels lovely. The embellishment as made with some die cut swirls from the swirly scribbles thinlets set; flourishes stamped on a card circle and some tiny flowers/and pearls.</div>

The last project I created was a 12" x 12"project life page using pictures of baby Thea. Again, hello and welcome are so apt when creating a page celebrating the arrival of a baby into a family. I teamed them up with elements from the "Hello baby girl" project life collection.</div>

<br />
Back in November I was delighted to be chosen to create some display projects for the UK "On Stage" event in Telford. I was sent some products that would be launched in the Spring/Summer catalogue and got to play with them. As we draw close to the launch of the brochure I thought I would share those projects with you over the next couple of days.<br />
One of the stamp sets I was given is called "Vertical Garden" and contains the sentiments "Hello" and "Welcome". co-ordinating stamps that provide a shadow effect to these sentiments and some flourishes. The set co-ordinates with a project kit in the catalogue. Hello and welcome seems a good place to start for New Years posts.<br />
<br />
Let's start with "Hello"<br />

This first card uses just the base hello stamp and the Bermuda Bay Ombre stampin' pad. stamped onto whisper white card that was formed into a tag with the tag punch. I inked the edge of the tagand added some "splats" from the swirly bird stamp set. The background is formed by putting a piece of the fabulous foil acetate onto a white card blank. This acetate is gold foil on one side, but if you turn it over it looks silver and it was the silver that I chose to use for this card. The next mat was created by inking a piece of the irresistibly floral speciality designer series paper. These papers are a white embossed paper that are beautiful as they are, but are just asking to have ink rolled, sponged or spritzed on top. I used a sponge brayer and the ombre ink to colour the card. I die cut a couple of swirls in bermuda bay card from the swirly scribbles set. The finishing touch was some bermuda bay stitched ribbon.</div>

The photograph isn't fantastic on this card, but I again used the base hello stamp and copper embossing powder. The flourishes are also part of the stamp set. Some are stamped directly onto the card and embossed and the pieces over the top of the card were fussy cut and stuck on, along with a heart punched from copper foil and some copper metallic thread. The copper foil was also used as mats to make the layers pop.</div>

For this third crumb cake notecard I used both the base hello stamp and the shadow. The shadow was stamped in versamark and white embossing powder sprinkled on top and heated. The base hello stamp was stamped in mint macaron. The colours of card I used for this project were mint macaron and island indigo. The paper is from the "blooms and bliss" collection. I used some of the new white ribbon from the succulent garden ribbon combo. It has a soft brushed texture.. I also added a strip of burlap ribbon which is frayed at the ends. The embellishment is created with linen thread and a metal rimmed pearl.</div>

The fourth hello card again uses the shadow, this time stamped in craft stampin' ink. The watermelon wonder card was embossed using the floral affection embossing folder. The corners were rounded with the project life corner and the edges of the card was highlighted with the white stampin' chalk marker. The paper is from the affectionately yours speciality designer series paper,which is mounted onto crumb cake card. The ribbon is the watermelon wonder mini striped ribbon</div>

I had a one sheet wonder class last week using the Garden in Bloom set and the new In Colors. We had great fun with this set that uses the 2/3 step technique to build up the flowers, leaves and bees on a piece of A4 whisper white card. We in filled the gaps with the spotty stamp from the "Awesomely Artistic" set. Once we were happy with our sheet we then proceeded to cut it into 4 to create 4 different cards.<br />

For this first card I used the new layering squares dies to cut an aperture in an A6 card front created from the emerald envy card. I then cut a frame using 2 of the squares. The sentiment is from the new Layering Love stamp set and I embossed it with white embossing powder.</div>

<br />
For the second card, <span style="text-align: center;">I matted some of the decorated card onto some peekaboo peach card. The sentiment is from the Garden in Bloom set. I stamped it in Dapper denim and punched it out with the decorative label punch and matted it onto some peach card.. I stamped and cut out an individual butterfly which I attached to the sentiment topper. The finishing touch was some peach ruched ribbon.</span><br />

Card number 3 uses layers of the sweet and sassy layering framelits as a topper. I added faux stitching with the chalk marker. The greeting came from "endless birthday wishes." I added some more of that ruched ribbon - in flirty flamingo this time</div>

For the 4th card, I cut a square of card and then cut that into 4 equal squares. I rounded the opposite corners on each square to create the flower pattern. I matted these onto dapper denim card and then onto gold glimmer card. I punched a banner from the gold glimmer card. I stamped a banner with dapper denim ink and by curving the photopolymer greeting stamps slightly, I stamped inside the banner. I fussy cut this banner out so that it would fit inside my gold banner. I added some wisps of gold thread at the back of the banners before attaching them to the front of the card.</div>

This final card was created with small pieces of card I had trimmed from my 4 quarters of decorated cardstock. I cut 2 pieces with the layering squares and cut slightly larger squares from the emerald envy card. I used the woodgrain embossing folder to give some texture to the emerald mat on the base of the card. More ribbon - this time Emerald envy. The scalloped card blank was one I had in my stash.</div>

It was quite sometime ago that we tackled these flip cards at a Monday class and so some of the product has now retired -but the technique is far from old hat. The basics for all of these cards is taking a card, scoring down the centre of the front panel to make a panel that folds back on itself. Then using your framelit shapes, be they stars, ovals, squares, hearts, labels... you only die cut them up to the fold, so that half the shape then sticks up and the aperture in the panel "floats" over the shape once it is folded back.</div>

If that all sounds complete gobbledegook, or if you are a visual learner, there are various you tube videos describing the technique, including <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zge-4okmTdE" target="_blank">this one</a> from Brandy Cox. I love her tip about the embossing folder covering the score line.</div>

You can see this was a while ago - this card is wishing you a Happy Easter - and I promise you I am not that organised!! However the flowers are still available and would be just as appropriate for a Happy Birthday or Thank you card.</div>

I am genuinely really excited by the new colour palette that makes up the 2016-2018 in-color collection. They sit somewhere between bright and pastel and will prove themselves to be so useful. I have been happily playing with them as a collection, but I am going to soon have to start integrating them with the spectrum of colour that makes up the Stampin' Up offering and see how they play with other colours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However for today, I have taken a new stamp set, a new DSP paper stack, some new washi tape and the new new copper embossing powder and I have had a play.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The "swoosh" stamp, the dotty stamp and the sentiment all come from the new "Painter's Palette" stamp set. It also contains a lovely easel stamp, which I haven't used today, but it co-ordinates with the new layering squares framelits. This enables you cut your frame out separately to give it dimension and to place all manner of "canvases" in your frame - even photographs. A useful tool for your Project Life pages.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the swoosh in each of the 5 new colours onto whisper white card and the spots I stamped in sweet sugarplum, having stamped off first on my grid paper to give a subtler shade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The new copper embossing powder is gorgeous and the colour is very on trend. This photo gives you more of a close up of the sentiment embossed in this new powder:</div>

I have added a knot of the dapper denim ruched ribbon - I am going to be using these ribbons a lot I think.<br />
A mat of the dapper denim card was attached behind the white card and this was layered onto the emerald envy spotty paper that comes from the "Playful Palette" DSP Stack. To add a little more bronze into the picture, I attached some little flashes of bronze spotty washi tape from the "Affectionately yours" collection.<br />
<br />
This is quite a bold card, but good fun.<br />

One of the first bundles I was able to get my hands on was the swirly bird stamp set and the co-ordinating swirly scribbles dies. When I first saw them, I thought they looked quite odd. However, when you start playing they are very addictive and there are endless possibilities of pictures and shapes you can create. Crafting should be fun and this set certainly is that.</div>

I concentrated on playing with the new in-colors ready for my launch party last weekend and I am pleased with how they turned out. I have pinned a lot of inspiration on my pinterest board <a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/loveaduckie/su-swirly-bird/" target="_blank">here</a>. For starters I still need to play with more boats, bigger flowers, heat embossing,different inking techniques, the swirls, kites......</div>

I thought as we celebrated the launch of the new catalogue, that I would pause a moment and smile at some projects I enjoyed in the last Stampin' Up year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First 3 very different cards;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first uses very neutral shades and the wonderful Botanical Blooms stamp set. The very tropical nature of this set means it tends to be used in bright, bold colours. It was fun therefore to tone it right down and use a neutral palette to produce a card that would suit a man as well as a lady.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second card used DSP, that beautiful lace ribbon, the sweet little coat hanger die from "Baby's First framelits and the "Beauty" came from the "Enjoy the Little Things" stamp set. The score board was also put to good use to create the panelled effect on the background.A lovely card that uses lots of different product.</div>

And the third card employed a technique which I had enormous fun doing. Embossing wax paper and then ironing it onto shiny card to create a wax resist. I explain the process a little more in my blog post <a href="http://loveaduckie.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/really-cool-embossing-technique.html" target="_blank">here</a><br />

Next some more dimensional projects. I had great fun with the range of balloon stamps, dies and punches we had to create these bold box frame cards, that would look fabulous on a child's bedroom wall. </div>

And for something a little more genteel, I created this gift set containing tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and sugar using the suite of products from the Spring/Summer catalogue. We made them at a product led class and at least one became a present for Mother's Day<br />

And last, but by now means least, a Project Life page using some of the beautiful pictures we had taken as part of a Family Photo shoot that our children bought my husband and I as a gift for our 50th Birthdays which both fell last autumn. The photos were taken in the wood in early autumn, so it seemed appropriate to play with the vintage leaf set and to use autumn colours for this page.</div>
