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,

Christmas Cheer - Coming Home

I love the Coming Home suite. I love the little houses in the stamps and the snowfields in the dies. I also love the Designer Series Paper, especially the sheets that have all the Christmas sentiments on it in a few different languages. It's such a fantastic suite and today, my card shows a little bit of everything.

 

This card really is pretty simple. A few coloured circles popped behind my cute little house that I coloured using our Stampin' Blends. And then I simply cut two of the sentiments from the Coming Home paper and that pretty much finishes this card off.

 

Now I know I've used the retired embossing folder, Softly Falling, but somethings you just can't part with and this folder is most definitely one of them. 

 

And to prove how quick this card was to make, I whipped up another, but changed the colours on the house and the circles and came up with this one, which is a bit more traditional for Christmas.

 

I'm not the biggest fan of red or green for Christmas cards, but I do really like how this card came out. I also changed my design to a landscape card, just for something a bit different.

This suite has to be one of the most versatile sets from this years Holiday catalogue and I've used so much of that designer series paper that I think I''l be popping an order for another pack very soon!

Happy Crafting,

So Glad - Press On

Something a little fun today, playing with a new up coming set from our Holiday Catalogue. This stamp set is called Press On and has these cute little row of coffee cups which I just couldn't wait to stamp and colour in.

My colours look a little muted in this photo, thanks to the dark and wintry days. It's a lot more vibrant in real life and this colour combo together is so beautiful.

I used my versamark inkpad to stamp the little coffee beans in the background, as I felt it needed something subtle.

I've suddenly thought, how cool will this stamp set be along side the Nothing Better Then Bundle!! That's certainly got me thinking...

As always you can purchase any of these items from my online store and the Holiday catalogue items will be available from 4th Aug.

Happy Crafting,
