Another sad loss another two retirees

I am so sorry to see these two sets going, I know we have to clear out the old to make way for the lovely new sets & accessories, or our houses would all need elastic walls. 

Wonderful words is making way for some lovely new greeting sets but that said I will still miss this one & its lovely curly font which is quite like my own writing. Bird on a branch is one of those sets that you could bring out & use for just about every occasion.

The cardstock in this project is Kraft card, Chocolate chip & Taken with teal. Kraft card is being renamed in the new catalogue & is going to be called crumb cake.

The inks are Close to cocoa, Taken with teal, Tempting turquoise Second generation stamped image, Rose red & a Black Journaler pen.

The tools & extras I've used are Crop o dile, Stamp a majig, 1/4" Tempting Turquoise ribbon & Antique Brass jumbo eyelets.

All of the above products are made by Stampin' Up & are available to purchase through me as A Stampin' Up demonstrator.

Bird on A Branch ~ Stampers 10 card

Last night was the stampers 10 group meeting & I knew that many of my ladies wanted to take advantage of the August Two step Stampin' promotion so I used the set as one of the make & take projects coupled with the lovely Rich Razzleberry card stock.

For the month of August there is 20% of the BIRD ON A BRANCH SET.

Just £11.96 until the end of August

The card uses Whisper White, Rose red, Garden Green, Regal rose & Rich razzleberry card stock. The inks are Garden green, Soft suede & Regal rose. The greeting is from occasional greetings which is a set I am reaching for more & more. The backing  papers are from the Sweet pea paper stack. All products are from Stampin' Up & are available to purchase through me.

The tiny tags & matching punch are used on the last card

Better late than never

That's how the saying goes "better late than never"

I have just been sorting through my craft studio & found one of the cards from the last Stampin' Up experience day that I had forgotten to upload. It was the card I had designed using Bird on a branch and the lovely Night & day paper set from the current Mini catalogue.

The card is made using Summer sun & tempting Turquoise cardstock & Inks.

The papers and acetate are from the night & day collection that is in the mini catalogue and may only be available until 30th September as they are not guaranteed to carry over to the new idea book & catalogue out on 1st October, so if you fancy these papers you need to be ordering them soon. 

Still sharing the experience day cards

Michelle designed this beautiful brayered card for the afternoon session of the recent Stampin' Up experience day that we held last week. I love this card, but I have to admit to being a total novice when it comes to the Brayer, I have never liked the results that I have achieved, but I think it is one of those techniques like distressing that goes against the rule " less is more" because now I have the hang of distressing I love it & i'm sure that it would be the same with Brayering. When you only do a little it looks pants, definately a technique for the brave to carry on & get great results like this card.

All of the products are available from Stampin' Up & can be purchased through me.

Birdhouse box ~ Experience day project

 

Here is one of the morning projects that we made on the 2nd Stampin' Up experience day.

To decoarte the box which we did before we assembled it we used Flight of the butterfly & bird on a branch with Pocket silhouettes for the floral decoration.

It was lovely to see the boxes as they evolved as everyone put there own personal stamp ( excuse the pun ) on the project.

 

The cardstock colours are Close to cocoa & Pretty in pink. Dont forget to check back during the week when I will share the rest of the projects that we made.

All of the above products are available from Stampin' Up & can be purchased through me.

Stampers 10 comes to an end with a fond farewell card

Last nights stampers 10 was the last of this group.
This has been a lovely group of Ladies & most of them have joined the next group that starts on the 16th June.

We used the bird on a branch set & made one Fond farewell card & one using the three newly released colours that form part of the colour renovation.
Fond farewell cardI used the refill inks to make a custom ink pad to colour the bossom on the branches.
I used the cut'n' dry stamp pad felt whilst this isn't a Stampin ' Up product it is well worth thinking about adding it to your regular Stamping kit. The inked pads can be stored in mini ziplock bags & reused. You could allso use the Stampin Up markers to hand colour the stamp for a similar effect.

My tip to any of you that have a lot of the fond farewell colours in your ink pad collection is to buy the sets of re-inkers before they are discontinued on the 30th September, that will give you many more years of use from your ink pad collection.
