Hello Beautiful


I was keen to try some brighter colours using Colorful Seasons. This stamp set and DSP bundle was a later addition to the SALE-A-Bration range, so you won't find it in your first brochure, and surprisingly, the leaflets for this second release ran out rather quickly so you may not have received one. Blueberry Bushel, Pineapple Punch and Poppy Parade were my choices this time, with the addition of two sentiments from Butterfly Gala.

Finally, I washed over the images with an Aquapainter (a brush with a reservoir of water that Stampin' Up! sells) to create a watercoloured appearance. I can assure you that the Colorful Seasons stamp set and paper are really lovely, but you do need to make a $180 order to claim them. There are co-ordinating framelit dies also available to purchase, maybe something to put on your shopping list?


I had a strip of the art piece left to decorate the inside, and don't you think a card looks so much better with a little more on the inside? The sentiment is from a set called Part Of My Story, another SALE-A-Bration offering and this one requires a $90 order. Part Of My Story is a sentiment-only stamp set, put together after Stampin' Up! did a survey of demonstrators to find out what we would like as a sentiment. I have to admit that I have used 'know that today a friend is thinking of you' quite frequently, as it suits so many occasions. SALE-A-Bration ends on 31st March, and stamp sets have never carried over before, so you need to get in fast if you'd like these goodies. The pictures of products take you to that item in my online shop, so you can compile a wish list there. It will not save your list until you have logged in with your details, you cannot accidently make an order. Any questions, get in touch.

Watery Painted Seasons





Painted Seasons is a distinktive stamp which stamps beautifully, the leaves are particularly lovely. I had seen some samples which had water applied so I also wiped an aqua painter over the art piece. It definitely softens the image and intensity of the colours, giving a softer, dreamy look.


Tailored Tag has added an interesting band behind the Stitched Circle supporting the sentiment. Butterfly Gala has the sweet 'Hello Beautiful' sentiment. The wooden embellishments are from SALE-A-Bration, which ends at the end of March. You can claim a pack with your $90 order. Painted Seasons is a stamp set and pack of 12" X 12" DSP (and gorgeous it is too) which requires an order of $180 to qualify. If you order through my shop, please use the Host code if your order is under $250, if you reach $250 you will be invited to spend your own Host dollars (starting at 10% of your total).
