Perfectly Colourful
For today’s card, I wanted to use the Perfectly Detailed stamp but I wanted to see how it would look if I used Stampin’ Blends to colour the whole image. To begin I stamped the Perfectly Detailed stamp onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I coloured the image using Melon Mambo, Smoky Slate, Dark So Saffron & Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. To make the it stand out a little more, I used the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend on the outside edges of the stamp and the Dark Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend to highlight the oval area of the stamped image. I trimmed down the image and attached it to Basic White card and then scored and folded Smoky Slate card.
I also added a large Basic Rhinestone to the centre of the large flower. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Charming Sentiments stamp set onto Basic White card using Melon Mambo ink. I love that you can use this stamp in so many different ways and I am sure that I will be trying this again using different colours. I think that this card has a bit wow factor, don’t you think?

Blackall
Today’s page shows off some photos of our road trip to Winton with our friends last June. Ron and I love Blackall with its Wool Scour and of course the very important Black Stump. I attached my photos to Pool Party card and then Basic Black card before attaching each panel to Basic White 12″ x 12″ pages.
I cut the title from Basic Black card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies before attaching them to the left hand page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and attached it to the bottom of the right hand page. I haven’t added any embellishments to these pages because there is so much going on in the photos. Some amazing art work in one of the small arcades and of course the table of wisdom in the main street.
These pages make me smile and bring back happy memories.

It’s Your Day
This week in my Facebook Live, I shared some cards I made using the Warm Welcome Bundle. I began by cutting Basic White card using one of the Picture This Dies. I embossed the panel using the Gingham Embossing Folder. I also cut a piece of copy paper using the same die. I attached the copy paper die cut to a Basic White panel and stamped three of the images from the Warm Welcome stamp set into the circles. I used Balmy Blue, Magenta Madness and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends to colour the images. Once coloured, I removed the mask and attached the embossed panel over the stamped panel.
I die cut three different patterns of Balmy Blue paper from the Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and attached the circles into the three small circles in the embossed panel. The whole piece is attached to scored and folded Balmy Blue card.
I die cut Basic White using the banner from the Warm Welcome Dies. I stamped the greeting from the Warm Welcome stamp set onto the banner using Balmy Blue ink and attached it to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Warm Welcome stamp set onto Basic White card using Balmy Blue ink. I attached a narrow strip of Balmy Blue card behind one long edge of Basic White card embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder and attached the panel onto the bottom of the stamped Basic White card. I had a lot of fun creating this card and just love the finished result. I would love to hear what you think.

Australia Day
We celebrated with a lunch at home, followed by an afternoon visit to our local Tavern to watch a great band (Double Jack). For my page, I trimmed down a Pool Party 12″ x 12″ page and attached it to a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I added a strip of the now retired Dainty Flowers 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper across the lower part of the page before attaching my photos. I cut the title from Basic White card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies and attached it across the top of the page.
I did add Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Basic White card before cutting the letters to make them easier to attach. I printed the journaling onto Basic White card and stamped the image from the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set across the bottom using Night of Navy ink. I stamped the guitar from the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set onto Basic White card, cut it out and attached it across the journaling panel. Although this is another simple page, it reminds me of what a fun day we had.

Share a Milkshake
This week in my facebook live I shared some cards I made using the Share A Milkshake Bundle. This Bundle is available in our current Mini Catalogue. For today’s card, I decided to create a Vertical Panel Fancy Fold. I attached Coastal Cabana card down the outside of a Basic White panel. I cut and Basic White card to create the folding section of the card and attached three strip of Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. (Unfortunately this paper is now retired.)

The glass, ice cream, straw and cherry images were cut out using the co-ordinating Share a Milkshake Die. I also cut Early Espresso card using the die from the Share A Milkshake dies to create the chocolate image. I stamped the heart image from the Share a Milkshake stamp set three times onto Basic White card using Coastal Cabana ink which I stamped onto scrap paper first. I stamped the greeting from the Share a Milkshake stamp set onto the bottom of the Basic White card using Coastal Cabana ink. The ice cream image after it is die cut has a small opening which allowed me to slide in the straw. I attached the ice cream image the top of the glass before attaching it to the stamped Basic White panel. I added the chocolate die cut and then the cherry using a mini dimensional. This is such a fun card to create and I think it turned out great using the Share a Milkshake Bundle don’t you?

Christmas 1966
Today’s page shows off a photo of myself with my sisters way back in 1966. I have used some retired and some current product on this page.

Online Exlusive
Yesterday saw the launch of a new way to purchase exclusive Stampin’ Up! products. These products will only be available online. They will never appear in any catalogue! These products will not have a specific retirement date, some will be re-ordered, some will be only while stock is available. You can search for this product here in my online store. Of course as a demonstrator I was able to purchase some of these new exclusive products early. So today I have another card to share using the Irresistible Blooms Bundle which I shared on my Facebook Live yesterday. I embossed a piece of Basic White card using one of the folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
These folders are part of the Online Exclusive product and are sold as a set of three, all of which are absolutely lovely. The embossed Basic White panel is attached to scored and folded Petal Pink card. I cut a piece of Early Espresso card using the circle die from the Irresistible Blooms Dies. I attached the panel to Basic White card and stamped the greeting from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set inside the Early Espresso frame using Early Espresso ink. The panel is attached to the card front. I stamped the large flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set onto Basic White card using Petal Pink ink. I also stamped one of the leaf images from the same stamp set onto Basic White card using Soft Sea Foam ink.
The images were cut out using the co-ordinating Irresistible Blooms Dies. I attached the flower and leaves to the card front using dimensionals. I added three pink Loose Frosted Dots to the card front as well. These Loose Frosted Dots are not self adhesive, so I added a small dot of Multipurpose Glue to the card front and added the Frosted Dots over the top. To decorate the inside of the card I stamped the large flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Petal Pink ink. I stamped the leaf image from the same stamp set next to the flower using Soft Sea Foam ink. I just know that you are going to love the Irresistible Blooms Bundle and the gorgeous Basic 3D Embossing Folders. I cannot wait to get my hands on some of the other product available. So why don’t you check them out here in my Online Store.
