International Blog Hop - A Bunch of Balloons Birthday Cards + Make & Take Kit Giveaway!
Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Somerset, UK
Today I am joining a group of demonstrators from around the world to show you ideas and inspiration using the latest Stampin' Up!® products that are available to purchase right now.
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog or you may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you can see all of the projects.
If you live in the UK, I would love to assist you with purchasing Stampin' Up!® products or help you with any questions you may have.
My project today features the Balloon Builders photopolymer stamp set and the coordinating Balloon Bouquet punch.
There is so much inspiration on Pinterest, which is right where I looked when creating this project. My inspiration is taken from a number of cards - click here to see cards on Pinterest made using this stamp set.
This project was actually designed for a make and take that I created for a group of 40+ fellow demonstrators at a crafty weekend in Birmingham held by my upline Michelle Last. We had so much fun. There were 6 make and takes altogether and we had 3 hours to make them - time certainly flies when you are having fun!
I've made two versions of this card so you can see how versatile the design is by just using different colours and accessories.
I've used Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride & Watermelon Wonder, a watercolour background using Pink Pirouette, coordinating Subtles Enamel Shapes and Cooper Metallic Thread. For the other card I have used Soft Sky, Pool Party and Island Indigo, a watercolour background using Soft Sky, coordinating Subtles Enamel Shapes and Silver Metallic Thread.
I hope you've enjoyed my project today. For a chance to win a free kit to make this card, please subscribe to receive my blog posts by clicking here. On 13th August I will randomly select two new subscribers plus one existing subscriber to receive the kit. All you will need is adhesive to put it all together!

Pinkies Team Design Challenge using Washi Tape - Come, let us sit together and drink champagne!
Wednesday, April 27, 2016
At the Stampin' Up! Onstage Local event earlier this month, Dave Baugh (VP Global Operations) kindly gave all attendees a pack of the Everyday Chic Designer Washi Tape.
I don't know about you but I have loads of Washi Tape in my craft stash but never ever use it. (Okay, so maybe I do, but its never in my craft projects, instead I use it when I can't find any sellotape!)
I love Washi Tape, the patterns are always fabulous but I never know how to incorporate it into my projects.....this got us thinking and so the Washi Tape Challenge was set.
The Pinkies team of demonstrators were challenged to make a project to showcase lots of ways you can use Washi Tape.
Thinking outside of the box, we have come up with over 15 different projects for you to look at. We really hope you find lots of inspiration from them, I know I certainly have!
For my entry I have stuck Washi Tape onto Whisper White cardstock and used my Balloon Bouquet Punch to punch out 4 balloons, all in different patterns. Whilst I love monochrome, I added a pop of pink with Blushing Bride cardstock, glimmer paper and a little bit of stamping.
Please vote!
We would love it if you could vote on your 3 favourite designs. Whoever receives the most votes will win £20 to spend on Stampin' Up! products from Michelle Last - how exciting!!
All you need to do is visit Michelle Last's blog, take a look at all of the projects we have made and vote for your favourite 3 by clicking on the heart symbol in the top right hand corner of the image.
So come on, why don't you pop over to Michelle's blog now and take a look.
Voting will close at 18:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday 30th April.
I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to Stampin' Up! for holding such a great event. We were truly spoilt by Stampin' Up! as in addition to the Washi Tape, we also received three stamp sets, some of the kit we used in the make and takes as well as the canvas bag, pencil case, notebook and pens that we were given on arrival. From the kit, I choose 3 ink pads, another stamp set and some of the new foam adhesive strips.
I came home on a high and feeling very happy! I can't wait to go to this event again in November and you can too should you decide to buy a starter kit for £99, join my team and become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! You can contact me through my social media icons or click here to send an email to me. I would love to hear from you and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
I was planning to blog about this cute little gift bag in the next few days so can you imagine how excited I was to find out the theme for this week was balloons! Yay!
So here I am blogging on my lunch break and entering this challenge #GDP023.
I used Lost Lagoon cardstock to make the gift bag with the gift bag punch board and I stamped the balloons in Pool Party, Lost Lagoon and Wisteria Wonder ink using the gorgeous Balloon Builder photopolymer stamp set. I then used my clear Wink of Stella pen to give the balloons and the banner a subtle shimmer. The Pool Party Glitter ribbon, I think, matches this perfectly.
