Stampin' Up! Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and Magnolia Memory Dies



I wanted to share with you a card that I’ve made for the Colour INKspiration challenge #CI56.





These colours and cake are just stunning and I just knew I had to enter into the latest competition.



The colours are Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Garden Green. The set I’ve used is the new Magnolia Lane Suite which includes Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and Magnolia Memory Dies. This suite is available from the new Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalolgue for 2019-2020. 



 I just had to use the large Magnolia from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set. I stamped it in Stazon Jet Black Ink on Shimmery White Cardstock and with my Aqua Painter I started off with Melon Mambo, then Berry Burst and Blackberry Bliss for the flower. The leaves are watercoloured in with Garden Green. The Magnolia has been cut out with the coordinating die.





For the background I’ve used Whisper White Cardstock and I've lightly sponged Melon Mambo ink with a Sponge Dauber. 





To bring out the Blackberry Bliss of the flower I decided to use Blackberry Bliss Cardstock for the card base.

This Magnolia Lane Suite has so much to offer. There is a beautiful Magnolia 3D Embossing Folder which I can’t wait to order next week and start creating with it.





Need a new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue please send me a message.

Stampin' Up! Free As A Bird Stamp Set and Stitched Nested Labels Dies



Today I wanted to share with you a card that I recently made for my daughter’s friend as her birthday is coming up soon.



The request was that I had to use blue for the card and I decided to use the new Bird Ballad Suite. This beautiful suite is available in the 2019 – 2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.



It includes the Free as a bird Stamp Set and Stitched Nested Labels Dies. 





I stamped the bird and flower images with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. I coloured them in using Night of Navy light, Balmy Blue dark and light Stampin’ Blends. I fussy cut out the bird and flowers and layered them on the Stitched Nested Labels Die.





The Hello was stamped and then die cut out with the smallest Stitched Nested Die. Isn’t it the sweetest tiny die you’ve ever seen?



For the background I’ve created a light all over wash with my Aqua Painter in Balmy Blue ink on Shimmery White cardstock. 



To finish off the card, I’ve used the Solid Bakers Twine in Whisper White. I wrapped it around the cardstock three times and added a bow.



I just the colour of the blues in the bird and I hope my daughter’s friend will too. Have I inspired you to create using this suite? The colours are endless to choose from with this stamp set. What would you choose?

Happy crafting

Stampin' Up! Week 50 Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop Tranquil Tide


Hello and welcome back to my blog with the lovely ladies from Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop.






Today is week 50 and we are playing along with Tranquil Tide which is one of the In Colours for 2017-2019 and sadly it will be finishing up on 3rd June 2019.





This colour reminded me of the forest and I wanted to showcase one of the new Host stamp sets from the new Annual Catalogue for 2019-2020. 





It’s called New Wonders and I just love this stamp set as it’s Distinktive. I like the different opacities in a single stamped image for a realistic depth and intensity. 



 For the background I used the “smooched” technique, with my Silicone Craft Sheet I pressed Tranquil Tide and Bermuda Bay on the sheet. Then with a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock I “smooched" the sheet until it was covered in ink. 





I then spritzed with Rubbing Alcohol and Shimmer Paint all over the Cardstock. This gives the card a quick drying effect and plenty of glitter from the Shimmer Paint. I also created this same “smooched effect with Gorgeous Grape and then Die cut out with the Layering Circles.






This cute fairy has been water coloured in with the following colours – Tranquil Tide, Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape and Early Espresso. I brushed Wink of Stella over the wings and the lighter part of Gorgeous Grape. You can never have enough glitter when it comes to fairies. 





I used some embellishments to finish off my card with the Boxwood Wreaths, Corrugated Elements and the Iridescent Sequins. 







I hope you’ve enjoyed my latest blog.

Happy crafting

Vicki

Stampin' Up! Good Morning Magnolia



Today I wanted to share with you a quick card that I’ve created using the new stamp set called Good Morning Magnolia. This stamp set is available in the new Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalogue which is available from me now.





I wanted to use a bright pink for the Magnolia so I’ve choosen Lovely Lipstick in the Blends. Then I went over the flower with the Colour Lifter to blend in the light and dark. 



The leaves have been coloured in with Granny Apple Green and Dark Mossy Meadow with more blending in with the Colour Lifter.



I wanted to keep the card simple as the flower is the main focal point, so I’ve used a Sponge Dauber and lightly sponged the Cardstock with Balmy Blue.





There are coordinating Magnolia Memory Dies which cuts out the flower. The Thanks has been stamped in Memento Black and fussy cut around it.



To finish off the card I’ve used the 3/16” Braided Linen Trim and tied it in a bow. 




Thank you for visiting my blog today and happy crafting.

Vicki.

Stampin' Up! 2019 - 2020 New Catalogue Blog Hop



Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative products using supplies from the upcoming 2019 - 2020 annual catalogue. If you would like a copy of the brand new annual catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you. 




I will be sharing with you the new In-Colours for 2019 – 2021 and the type of products that available. They are Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy. I just love the names that Stampin’ Up! come up with.  





The colours come in Ink, Cardstock, Designer Series Paper 6” x 6”, Ribbon, Stampin’ Write Markers and Faceted Dots. I’ve created theses five cards using the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and coordinating Stitched Nested Labels Dies.





Each card that I’ve created shows some variation of colour and texture with different materials.

Rococo Rose


The birds have been stamped in Stazon Jet Black Ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. I used my Aqua Painter to lightly colour the birds and flowers in.


Terracotta Tile

The In-Colour DSP 6”x6” has 40 sheets, 4 each of 2 double sided designs. The ½” Scalloped Linen Ribbon is woven ribbon with colourful scalloped edges.


Pretty Peacock

Seaside Spray 

All the new Inks are just so beautiful to work with, but due to the quality issues with Purple Posy it is currently unavailable in the Ink pad and Ink Refill. Stampin’ Up! are working with the supplier to solve this issue as soon as possible. I will be very happy once this colour is available. The Cardstock etc…. is just so pretty. I used Highland Heather for the birds and I tried to keep it as close as I could to the Cardstock, DSP and Ribbon.



Purple Posy

Stampin' Up! Week 49 Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop Soft Suede


Hello and welcome back to my blog with the lovely ladies from Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop.

Today is week 49 and we are playing along with Soft Suede which is one of the Neutrals Collection Colours.







Have you seen the gorgeous Everything is Rosy Product Medley? In this Medley box you get 6 x 6 DSP, two spools of ribbon, Embellishments, Shimmer Paint and of course Stamps and Dies.  I wanted to use the Everything Is Rosy Stamp Set and Dies which is available while supplies last for the month of May 2019. 










I’ve made a gift set which coordinates with one another. The colour I’ve used with Soft Suede is the new In Color for 2019-2020 Rococo Rose which can be purchased from the 4th June 2019. 






To create the flowers and leaves I have stamped the image up to three times without reinking the stamp. This gives you different shading of the image, but only using the same colour for the flowers and for the leaves. I lightly inked up a Sponge Dauber and sponged the centre of two the bigger flowers in Rococo Rose. 






For the background I’ve used Water Color Paper which will be retiring while supplies last until the 3rd June 2019. With my Aqua Painter and Rococo Rose I’ve lightly brushed ink to give it a subtle colour onto the Watercolor Paper. I also ripped the edges on all four sides of the paper giving it a vintage look. To match the Watercolor Paper, I also did this with the Soft Suede Cardstock too.



To finish the card off I’ve used new Scalloped Linen Ribbon in Rococo Rose and tied a bow in Linen Thread.



To make the matching gift box, I’ve used the Kraft Pillow Box which is a similar colour to Soft Suede. The label I’ve used is from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede. I just love theses labels they come in different sizes to suit your projects.




I hope you’ve enjoyed my latest blog and the gift set that I’ve created. Please visit Catherine’s blog where you’ll find the links to the other participants.

Stampin' Up! Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI55



Hello and welcome,



Today I will be sharing with you a card that I’ve created for the Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI55. We could choose three or more colours from the six given in the photo below.





I’ve chosen Coastal Cabana, Grapefruit Grove, Flirty Flamingo and Smoky Slate for my card. 



I recently received some new Stampin’ Up! products from the Annual Catalogue for 2019 – 2020 as a Demonstrator we can order certain products before the Catalogue has been launched.



Follow Your Art Suite which contains the following. It Starts With Art Stamp Set, coordinating Dies Arts & Crafts, Button Button Embossing Folder and this sweet Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit which I just love. 



I wanted to create my own lined paper, so I used a Stampin’ Blend in light Firty Flamingo and ruled lines across the Whisper White Cardstock. Then I embossed the Button Button Folder in Whisper White Cardstock.



The pens, rolls of ribbon, ink refills and clip have been stamped in Stazon ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. With my Aqua Painter I used different colours that I had chosen and watercoloured them in.






Have you seen the Stitched Nested Labels Dies? They are so good to use in my creatations and I just had to use two different sizes and stamped the sentiment. I like how you can create more layers to the card.


Do you think you would buy this set? If you don’t have a Demonstrator and you would like a copy of the new catalogue. Please leave me a message. I'm going to be using theses products in a adults card class coming in June, so if you are interested in a class please let me know.
