Artisan Post - Art Gallery Bundle

 I'm just going to start by saying that as soon as I saw the Art Gallery bundle in the Mini catalogue I knew I had to have it. In fact, it's only the second time I've purchased a whole suite. I needed all of it. The stamps are gorgeous and I love the sentiments in the set. The dies are so beautiful on their own and that designer series paper is ah-mazing. Add the window sheets which match the dSP and the gold leaf, you seriously can't go wrong. So it will come as no surprise that I decide to use that suite as my Artisan post for the Stampin' Up! Facebook.

 

So lets see what I created:

I just love how pretty and soft these two cards are. The first card really shows off the stamp set and coordinating dies. I couldn't help adding detail on the flowers using our Heat and Stick powder and then when it's warm and sticky, adding on the gold leaf.

Seriously the colour of the gold leaf is so clean and bright. I love using gold embossing powder but this gilded leaf is so much brighter.

 

I also used my stamping' Blends in coordinating colours too add some more detail to my flowers. I used the thick end of the marker and gentle swiped up and out from the middle of the flowers and leaves. So easy buy gives such a great effect.

My second card showcases some of the stunning Designer Series Paper found in this suite. One side is all large, painted flowers and blooms, while on the other side it looks like patterns and strokes from a paint brush.  

I couldn't help but using more of the Forever Gold Specialty Laser Cut paper. This is my second pack of these gold leaves and I just ordered my third. I love to add them to everything and anything!

If you would like to order any of the prodcts that I've used today, I have listed them all below and when you click on one of the images it will take you straight to my online store. Happy Shopping!

Take Care,

Artisan Jnauary Show Case - Pretty Perennials

 I'm so excited to share my first first project that I created for the Artisan Design Team. I feel like I made this cards such a long time ago but now I finally get to share them with you all.

Don't they all look awesome together! I really love the Pretty Perennials Bundle and I think it's a no brainer to pair it with the gorgeous  Flower and Field Designer Series Paper which can be found as a FREEBIE in the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue.

Here's a close up of the black card using the die cuts from the Perennial Petal dies and our gogroues Oh So Ombre designer series paper which is also a Sale-a-Bration FREEBIE. The DSP that you can earn for free this year are just beautiful! 

 

 Now, to share a little secret about the white card. It's actually a Double Z Fold card, which you couldn't really tell

when it was laying flat, but here it is in all it's glory.

I just love creating Double Z Folds. I'm not great at making fancy folds, too much maths in all that cutting and scoring if you ask me, but Double Z's are super easy and always make a huge impact when standing up. A great card for someone special!!

So thank you for checking out my first Artisan project. I hope you liked them and I always love to read your comments so make sure you leave one.

Happy Crafting,

The Berry Best - Sweet Strawberry and Berry Blessings

Happy New Year guys and here's to the start of my year on the Artisan Design Team!!!

Firstly I want to say Thank You and Farewell to the out going Artisans. I really admire all of the Artisans that have been on the team previously and can not thank them enough for all their ideas and creativity. Plus you guys have been an outstanding bunch of enablers too FYI!!!

Now to share the 2021 team and I am completely blown away with the sheer talent this year. Still pinching myself that my little old face is on this graphic.

 

Gee whizz, I have my work cut out for me to keep up with these creative gods. But I do love a good challenge and so today I'm sharing two cards (as it has been a while since I last shared 😉).

 

With the start of Sale-a-Bration plus the new January - June Mini Catalogue, I  wanted to create a card with what is currently my most favourite bundle. I say currently as I'm pretty sure that will change on a weekly basis as I'm smitten over this new catalogue. Anyway back to today's cards:

I can't get enough of the Sweet Strawberry Suite in the Mini catalogue. It reminds me of warm sunny days, strawberries and cream tea's, picnic's in the park... you get the idea. Plus did I mention it has a punch!! Yep say no more.

And what I really love about this bundle is, it has another coordinating stamp and some paper in the Sale-a-Bration catalogue that you can earn for free!! The bundle in the Sale-a-Bration catalogue is called Berry Blessings and includes images of raspberries and blueberries. Plus in the usual, Stampin' Up! style, the Strawberry Builder Punch actually punches out some of the strawberries found in the designer series paper. These two bundles really do have it all.

If you would like your very own copy of the new January-June Mini and Sale-a-Bration catalogue and don't already have a demonstrator, then please pop me an EMAIL with your address and I will send one out to you (Australian postal addresses only)

 

So boys and girls, strap on your seat belts and come along on a wonderful and hopefully inspiring ride with me as I head off on my Artisan adventures!

 

Happy Crafting,

Chlo
