Miss Pinks Craft Spot

Hello there crafty friends! The sun was out this morning and it made by feel cheery, and looking out into the garden there were birds and butterflies, so after my morning coffee I reached for my Butterfly Brilliance set and got inky. I'm not normally a pink and gold fan, but I will be the first to admit this combination on S himmery White card stock is a winner! I stamped the butterflies in Sahara Sand then clear heat embossed so I could watercolour with  Polished Pink, the head embossed finish was a gold tone, so I got thinking about adding some gold in the from of trim and a heat embossed sentiment.  I splattered the background to add a little interest and look of texture. Now for the best part - the Butterfly Brilliance stamp and Brilliant Wings Dies are on the retiring list, and are heavily discounted, why not grab yours today before they sell out? You can check out all the retiring items in my online store  HERE , remember items are available only while stocks la...

Hello crafty friends, it's time this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our colors include Early Espresso, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay - to begin with I was stumped, I thought about Sunflowers but then I eyed my Butterfly Brilliance bundle on my shelf and that's where my mojo headed. So butterflies, I was going to stamp in Early Espresso and colour with the other challenge colours, then I thought why not die cut and create a background - the rest is history, with the help of the Hello Beautiful stamp set. It's all to easy to forget about those little stamps we have in our stamp sets, but don't overlook them as they can make beautiful backgrounds.   Be sure to continue on through the rest of the Color Fusers Blog Hop by clicking the button below for lots more inspiration using this month’s colors.

Hello crafty friends, todays card is for Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop, our  Blog Hop Theme: Thank you This month I will be treating my customers with a thank you card featuring new items from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue, namely the Hand-Penned Suite and Scalloped Contour Dies.  Below is one of the Thank You cards you will receive when shopping with me this month - April 2021. The Hand-Penned suite is delicately gorgeous, soft pastel palette with line drawn images, everything just flows beautifully - the Designer Series paper is just stunning, so nice I cut into it straight away to share with you. I couldn't stop myself using the Scalloped Contour Dies, and the new In Colors.....what can I say, the speak for themselves and were  definitely one of the first items on my pre-order list. How gorgeous is Fresh Freesia with this paper!!! I also like how the font in the stamp set carries though with the lined images of the DSP, such a perfectly blended s...

One of the fantastic things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is that we get early access to catalogue items - just the Butterfly Bouquet Collection!  This means that we can show you our wonderful projects on the day that it released to customers.... TODAY! Isn't it just gorgeous, talk about want it all...... uhh, yes! I reframed from using DSP today and have focused on the beautiful die cuts. The set comes with both outline and detailed dies, so it's entirely up to you as to what you want to use, surprise, I couldn't choose, so stamped a couple of the smaller images to combine with a large diecut. I used blending brushes with Highland Heather and Seaside Spray, with the sentiment (from Many Messages) and butterfly detail stamped with Gray Granite. The background is courtesy of the Painted Texture 3D Embossing folder. Be sure to continue through the blog hop for more inspiration from Butterfly Bouquet. Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my pro...
