Stampin’ Up! Australia - Stampin’ Up! Pineapple Birthday Card

Hi!

I’m loving this new Pineapple background stamp from the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue. I went crazy with some rainbow brush strokes (from Work of Art) in the background - a mix of 4 new In Colors and 3 from last year.

I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch and flipped it. :)

I hope you like my card! :)

I have closed my online store but I am still an active demonstrator so if you would like to place an order feel free to email me. :

Hi!

The inspiration image at The Card Concept's this week is a beautiful white washed wall and it motivated me to cut into my Farmers Market DSP pack and use the timber paper.

I used the Work of Art stamp set to add splashes of detail to my 'wall'. The flower actually covers a boo-boo....don't we all do that!? :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #110 - Work of Art

Real Red #1

#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

Here's a Color Coach card using Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Very Vanilla. 

I really loved the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch this week....I thought it would look cool with some arty brush strokes for the design elements. I used Work of Art for the stamped images and Amazing Birthday for the sentiment.

I also thought it was cool to tie in the envelope with similar stamping.

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #61 - Stampin' Up! Work of Art

Coastal Cabana #1

#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

Addicted to CAS have a cool theme word at the moment - Sky!

I was messing around on some scrap paper with these color coach suggestions of Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie and thought that they looked like a tropical sunset over the sea.

I decided to use the stamps from the "Work of Art" stamp set like the paint brushes they resemble and painted this landscape using stamps only......pretty cool huh! I used a lot of partial stamp inking and stamping off....SO FUN!

I was SO happy with the result. 

I haven't put a sentiment on the card as I like the landscape the way it is and thought a sentiment would clutter the card too much. 

I think it would make a lovely sympathy card or even a thank you card. 

Hope you like my card! Can you believe this was done with just one stamp set! Work of Art is so versatile I tell ya! :)

Please contact me for a new Stampin' Up! catalogue if you don't already have one. I will send you one for FREE! 

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #59 - Stampin' Up! Work of Art

Pistachio Pudding #1

#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

Pistachio Pudding is teamed with Crisp Cantaloupe and Baked Brown Sugar for this color coach card. 

CAS(E) This Sketch have the cutest sketch this week but I couldn't come up with any kind of fun image to use, so I went with using the new Work of Art stamp set and referencing the heart in the sketch instead and using the brush strokes & sentiment as the 'creature'. 

The Paper Players have a 'Tic Tac Toe' challenge this week so I chose patterned paper, a shade of green (since I am using Pistachio Pudding) and thank you as my elements. 

I am sending this card to a customer who placed an order the other day. I hope she likes the card. I really like how this came together. :)

If you are wondering how I got the two shades of green, I stamped in Pistachio Pudding first and then did a second stamp next to it without cleaning my stamp. This technique is called "stamping off"...where you do a repeat of the stamp using the rest of the ink left on the stamp. You can get many shades of your colours this way. :)

Hope you like my card!

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #54 - Sneak Peek 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue!

Raspberry Ripple #1

#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

It's nearly here!!! The 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue is nearly here!! :)

My swag of new goodies turned up on Friday and I was so excited to break out a new stamp set. :)

When I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, I knew that it would be perfect for an ombre type effect using this brand new stamp set called "Work of Art". The Color Coach for Raspberry Ripple asks for Raspberry Ripple, Perfect Plum and Crumb Cake. 

Do you like the card? That horizontal 'paint stroke' is a single stamp and I just stamped it in Raspberry Ripple and kept stamping until the ink ran to nothing. I did the same with Perfect Plum. 

The heart behind the sentiment is Crumb Cake stamped off once. The sentiment in the stamp set actually says "You are a fabulous work of art", but I only wanted to use the "You Are Fabulous" words so I used my Raspberry Ripple marker selectively on those words and they stamped beautifully! :)

The sentiment was punched out using the Bracket Label Punch (available now from the current catalogue!). 

There's only a couple more weeks left to get the retiring In Colors and Raspberry Ripple is one of them, so click through to my online store to order it before it is never seen again!! **GASP**

Cheers & thanks for visiting!
