Heartfelt Thank You using SALE-A-Bration Products.



Just like my customers, I look forward to SALE-A-Bration every year for the chance to add a little something to my order, at no additional cost. Bloom Impressions 12" X 12" DSP was first on my list this year. I love bright, vibrant floral papers.


As my rather large order qualified, I added in the Heart Shaped bundle - stamps and dies which require a $200 order. Amy Koenders had shared a card which inspired me to use the same layout and change up the colours.


SALE-A-Bration is always a good time to restock on card stock and adhesives too, if your order is just a little short of a target amount.

All products used to make these cards are Stampin' Up! and are available in my online store or contact me to find out more details.  
It is a good time to shop during February as SALE-A-Bration continues until the 29th where you earn free product with every $100 increment of your order, so one stamp/die bundle will usually get you there, but it is also a good time to stock up on the basics like card and glue.

Colour Creations - Week #36 - Moody Mauve







Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group.  This is week #36 and we are creating with Moody Mauve. This is an InColor and at the end of the annual catalogue it will be retired, along with Boho Blue, Copper Clay, Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat.

Moody Mauve


Ever keen to try out new products with this soon-retiring colour I pulled the Memorable Blooms bundle and the Plaster Painting 3D textured embossing folder from my box of new arrivals.




Beginning by passing some white card stock through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss using the Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder for a very textured finish. Using a blending brush, I drew more attention to that texture with Moody Mauve ink.


Stripes were hand drawn on the card base and the insert border.




A piece of scrap card held down on my insert helped create a straight finish to these hand-drawn stripes.




Now it is time to head to see what Andrea Sargent has created, it's bound to be amazing!

CTC # 502 CASE-ing SALE-A-Bration Catalogue




CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. The catalogues are a fantastic resource, and we love to inspire you to seek inspiration there too. 



SALE-A-Bration is a wonderful time of year when everyone gets a chance to earn exclusive Stampin' Up! products, along with purchases from a new mini catalogue. This week we can CASE anything from the SAB Catty.


The beginning of the year is a busy birthday time in our family with 6 celebrating by mid-March, so as well as designing classes I am madly creating personalised birthday cards.


The panels on this SAB sample caught my eye, as well as the stamping with a mix of smaller images. The sentiment on the centre panel seemed like a good idea too, so I CASEd that.



A piece of gingham vellum has been placed in the background and teamed with Coastal Cabana after Pool Party appeared a little washed-out. I have coloured all the background with a Pool Party Stampin' Blend after the stamped images had been coloured also in appropriate colours.


Wanted To Say have a couple of sentiment dies which would have suited here, but nothing beats a 'Happy Birthday'.


Now it's your turn. We do request that the projects you submit have been created especially for this challenge. You can CASE directly or be inspired by a sketch/layout, colour combo or embellishment. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE.



Next crew member sharing is the wonderful Andrea Sargent



All products used to make these cards are Stampin' Up! and are available in my online store or contact me to find out more details.It is a good time to shop during February as SALE-A-Bration continues until the 29th where you earn free product with every $90 increment of your order, so one stamp/die bundle will usually get you there, but it is also a good time to stock up on the basics like card and glue.

One More Year with Wine


While I had One More Year out I kept going and made a simple card using the wine and cheese image.


There are a nice variety of birthday sentiments in this set, but I wasn't a fan of the second line of this particular sentiment, so a literal cut & paste did the trick.
 

Inside is a second sentiment from One More Year and a partial image. Do you have a friend this would suit? I certainly do!!!

Colour Creations - Week #35 - Misty Moonlight

 


Happy New Year! Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. After a short Christmas break we are back creating with Misty Moonlight. It's a not-quite-navy, almost denim shade which is a pleasure to use since just like denim, it goes with anything.



With our mini catalogue ready to order from now, it's a great time to share some creations made with a new stamp set, One More Year and Timeless Plaid 6" X 6" DSP. Misty Moonlight seems to go well with the plaid pattern despite the colours not matching.


Definitely inspired by the catalogue sample, but with a few tweaks, it was a lot of fun making this card. I heat embossed the sentiment in black for a nice, clear image.


As soon as I saw this stamp, on the inside, I knew it would be perfect for my son's approaching 49th birthday.



Our next talented Art With Heart member is the lovely Kate Morgan
