Pinkies Stampin' Up! 2016-17 Annual Catalogue Blog Hop feat. Layering Love Stamp Set & Copper Embossing
Thursday, May 26, 2016
Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous
projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue. Simply use the buttons
at the end of each post to keep hopping!
Welcome to my blog! I hope you find some inspiration here today to go to your craft stash and make something beautiful. Wasn't Sarah's project lovely? I am so excited to see all of the other projects the Pinkies have made!
My project features four new products from the forthcoming Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue. Can you spot them all?
The main feature of this card is the stunning new Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. Copper is so in right now, its everywhere I look from home furnishings to kitchenware to jewellery.
Did you know we will be having Copper Metallic Thread in the new catalogue? I literally cannot wait to get my hands on it (and a billion other things!)
Next up we have a brand new stamp set called Layering Love. Check out page 71 of the new catalogue, it's in a set with 5 other clear mount stamps. I've used the stamp with the sentiment "Enjoy the little things" for the card front and the stamp that says "Sometimes the (smallest) things take up the most room in your heart" for the inside. I love both of these stamps, the fonts are pretty cool aren't they?
This project features one of the new In Colours (2016 - 2018) called Flirty Flamingo, I've used the Flirty Flamingo cardstock in-between a layer of Basic Black and Basic Gray. I thought I wouldn't like this colour but when I started combining it with existing colours I found that I really loved it!
And finally, I used Flirty Flamingo ink to create the watercolour effect. I've used the Shimmery White cardstock as my base as it works really well when watercolouring with Aqua Painters.
Flamingos are EVERYWHERE at the moment. Some fellows demos have started to use the hashtag #ifoundaflamingo. on Facebook and Twitter each time they come across a Flamingo somewhere. Just you wait, you will be seeing them EVERYWHERE now. In fact, we have a flamingo stamp in the new catalogue!
It's now less than a week until the new catalogue goes live! I need to grab 5 minutes (okay, probably an hour or two) to go through the catalogue again and finalise my wish list, I cannot wait to place an order on Wednesday. I'm especially looking forward to working with some of the new DSP and of course the new stamp sets & dies!

Oh happy days! Sneek peek and my watercolour sketch challenge entry for the Global Design Project #GDP034
Monday, May 2, 2016
I've entered this weeks Global Design Project #GDP034 sketch challenge and have used one of the new stamp sets called Scenic Sayings and the new Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder from the upcoming 2016-17 Annual Catalogue . I promised myself I wasn't going to touch any of my new products until 1st June but when I saw this sketch I knew I just had to.
I'm not the best at water colouring, this is definitely one skill I really need to work on! So with this in mind I kept it simple and stuck to one colour and I think Pool Party looks fab with the copper embossing. I hope you like it!
Pinkies Stampin' Up! 2016 Sale-a-Bration Blog Hop feat. Botanicals For You Stamp Set
Thursday, January 28, 2016
Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using new Stampin' Up!® products that you can earn free during Sale-a-Bration. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!
If you have arrived here from Jan's blog, thanks for stopping by! I really hope you enjoy looking at the projects we have made!
For today's project I've used the Botanicals For You stamp set that you can earn for free during Sale-a-Bration for every £45 you spend. This large sentiment is perfect for embossing and featuring as the centre piece of the card. I made a similar version of this card a few weeks ago and I promised a stepped up version of this card - and here it is!
To step it up, I added an additional layer using a Silver Foil and also added a background using the Watercolour Wash Stamp Set and Soft Sky ink.
I also stamped the flowers onto Vellum using Versamark Ink and Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder before punching them out with the Itty Bitty Accents flower punch.
As in my previous version, I added a Rhinestone to the centre of each flower but to step it up, you can just about see either side of the flowers are some silver embosssed leaves.
I made another version of this card and used Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder instead of Silver, Sahara Sand Ink instead of Soft Sky and Pearls instead of Rhinestones inside the flowers.
Which is your favourite?
I decorated the inside of these cards using the sentiment On Your Special Day, perfect for many different occasions - engagements, marriages, anniversaries, special birthdays and more.
I stamped the sentiment and leaves using Versamark Ink and Emboss Powder onto Shimmery White Cardstock. I then added 3 more flowers, to match the front of the card. I layered this onto a Foil Sheet and adhered it to the centre of the inside using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
I love Sale-a-Bration! Did you know that Stampin' Up! run Sale-a-Bration every year from the beginning of January until the end of March. During this time you can choose one product from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue for every £45 you spend. And if you spend over £200, you can choose £20 of products in addition to the 10% of Stampin' Rewards you would receive. There are 7 stamp sets, 3 paper packs and a Project Life card collection to choose from.
Its also the best time of year to join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator as you will receive an extra £30 of products in your starter kit. You still pay £99 but instead of choosing £130 products, you can choose £160 - how great is that? If you don't want to be a demonstrator, that's okay, you can still sign up to receive discount on all of the products you purchase, be one of the first to see new catalogues and attend exclusive events. Want to find out more, let me know!
I hope you've enjoyed today's Blog Hop! Have you chosen which free product you are going to choose when you next order?

Just For You.... Handmade Card created with Sale-a-Bration Freebies by Stampin' Up!
Saturday, January 16, 2016
I wanted to take the opportunity today to say hello and welcome to all my new subscribers! Thank you so much for subscribing, it means a lot to me and I hope you enjoy looking at the projects I make.
Today's project has been made using a free stamp set that I have earned during Sale-a-Bration.
For every £45 you spend during Sale-a-Bration you can choose one item from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue for FREE. Click here to browse the Sale-a-Bration catalogue
You can do so much with this stamp set but I wanted to show you how lovely it can be with this simple design in silver and white. I'll be working on a stepped up version of this card so keep and eye out for this on my blog !
I stamped the sentiment Just For You in Versa mark Ink and used Silver Embossing Power and my Heat Tool to give this shiny silver effect. I punched out some flowers from Vellum cardstock using one of the Itty Bitty Accent punches and added Rhinestones to the centre.
Have a great weekend!
Just a short blog post from me today, I've had a really busy weekend visiting family and have clocked up 400 miles in less than 24 hours. Tiredness has just hit me so please enjoy the pictures and I'll be back on Wednesday with another project.
For today's project I made two gifts bags using some different patterns out of the Timeless Elegance DSP. I added a glittery banner using Glimmer Paper and the Banner Tripple punch. I then took some wooden sentiments (they are called Expressions Natural Elements) and used Versamark Ink, Embossing Powder and my heat gun to add a lovely shiny embossed colour to the embellishment. To finish it off I punched a hole through the top and then used some of the lovely Satin Ribbon and Linen Thread to secure the bag.
