Stampin Up's Bird Ballard Suite Card!

Hello and Welcome,

Blues and Purples go together like Ham and Cheese. ( I am all about the food 😆 ) I think this card is gorgeous, and I have two cards to show you one in the copper ( no longer able to purchase Copper Metallic Thread) and the Silver. 

Which bird sings to you?I love the copper. So sad that the copper thread has been retired.

Stampin Up's Tropical Chic Card

Hello and Welcome, today's card is a very clean card, it can also be used for any occasion as I have not put a sentiment on it.

The colours in the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper are so pretty, greens and pinks, I have to admit are not colours I would usually put together, so I am surprised just how much I like them.

I hope you have enjoyed this card, Have A Great Day!

Animal Expedition Fun with Embossing Paste

Today's card is a mixture of new products, and some products that I have had for a little while, but not played with enough.

The sweet combination of Smokey Slate, Berry Burst, and Lemon Lime Twist, is so pretty. 

Change the colours and you will have a different card.

The Embossing paste is so easy to use, and gives such a great texture. And you can match any colour from Stampin Up's colour family by mixing in a little reinker!

Hope you have enjoyed this card,

Lets Get Hopping #4

Good Morning and Welcome to another Let's Get Hopping Blog Hop!. Today's  hop theme is  "Small Stamps".

Now I love making backgrounds for my cards and so using the small stamps in sets is always my go to. Painted Harvest stamp set is a fantastic set that has the cutest little acorn stamp, it was the first thing I thought of when the theme was released. Very simple card, but would make a fantastic masculine card as well.

The next two cards are sneek peeks from the new Ocassions Catalogue. Once I started creating, I found I couldn't stop.

The stamp set I used here is called "Bird Banter" and it was a giveaway to all demonstrators at  Onstage in Nov, it has a lot of little stamps, and I have used some on strips of card create a great  background. 

I have also used some of the New "Stampin  Blends" to colour in the budgie. The Stampin blends are really easy to use, (and I am a beginner ) , the outcome looks fantastic.

Final card I have used the "Magical Day" stamp set, these tiny Seahorses, and bubbles are adorable. Again I have used the Stampin blends to colour the Seahorses, I  sponged the background with pool party ink, and used the Fine Tip glue inside the bubbles to give it a splashed water effect.

I hope you have enjoyed my cards and it gives you a few ideas to start using your smaller stamps.

The talented Tanya Rees is next on the blog hop.

Have a great day,

Tracy

Supplies:

Onstage Swaps

Hello ,

So I had the opportunity to attend another Stampin Up's Onstage in Melbourne over the weekend. As a demonstrator Stampin Up hold two events every year to reveal the New Catalogue, you  play with some of the new products, you also given new products as prizes, but on top of that you are meeting other demonstrators and making new friendships. So much fun.

If you have ever thought of becoming a demonstrator, I would highly encourage you, there are so many benefits, not to mention the discounts which start at 20% off.

I decided to make a card, and a 3D swap.

I decided to you the Stained Glass Technique. so the flower has been white embossed onto vellum, and coloured on the back with Fresh Fig, and Tanquil Tide markers.

So happy how they turned out.

The 3D swaps were made with the envelope punch board, making a little pouch, with wrapped Kinder chocolates, and a little tag. I also made a little bag with a treat topper to showcase them a little. Focusing on the In Color's for my swaps this year, I made them in every colour using the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper.

Thank you for popping in and having a look at my blog, and to all the demonstrators that kindly swapped with me Thank-you.

Cheers
