Stampin Up, Global Design Project #021


This week at GDP they are having a color challenge.  Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Wisteria Wonder.

I've used the Flowering Fields set in a couple other cards, it's one of the free with $50 purchase in the SAB catalog.  I love it!  It's my favorite in that catalog. Now, in the Occasions catalog? All bets are off, so many wonderful and fun sets!

Here are your colors:

I used Stylish stripes to give it some texture and used Watercolor paper and the Aqua painter for my coloring.  You just fill it with water, touch it to your stamp pad and color away.
The ribbon is retired I'm sorry to say. I loved all the colors in the pretty narrow ribbon. I think I need to order some ribbon, I never seem to have what I want to use.

I  hope I've given you some inspiration.  Thanks for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Sneak Peek 2016 Occasions


Welcome!  This rose is exactly the die I have been waiting for! Isn't it gorgeous?!

Wait until you get that new Occasions and SAB catalogs in your hot little hands. It's fabulous x 2.

This is my personal favorite, but there is another that is hugely popular among the demo's. And much, much more.  My first attempt is done in watercolor using Smoky Slate to give it a kind of stained glass look.   It sure doesn't take much to make this a very special card no matter how you do it.

You will be able to purchase this and the rest of the Occasions on Jan 5th.  For every $50 you spend on any current product, you may choose something from the new SAB catalog for free.

Oh and this die and the other dies in the set are bundled with a beautiful stamp set as well. So it's a bargain as well.


Thanks for stopping by.

Stampin Up Peace and Joy


Hello everyone. I haven't posted for a few days, still working on getting over my hip replacement surgery.  Today, Tuesday, it will be 3 weeks post surgery and all things considered, I think I'm doing pretty well. 

Anyway, I did managed to finally get this beauty done.  I finally couldn't stand it any longer, just had to have this Christmas Bauble stamp. I used my Aqua Painter and Watercolor paper. You can use the SU Whisper White paper also, it has some properties like the watercolor paper and does a nice job.

I just fill my Aqua painter with water and touch the brush to my ink pad and paint.   I used Cherry Cobbler and Pear Pizzazz as my colors to fill in the ornament.

I couldn't decide between the Cherry Cobbler or Blackberry bliss so I used them both with a layer of one of the All is Calm DSP in between.

To attach the bow I punched a hole just above the circle and made my bow putting the ends through the hold and gluing down.   Look carefully and you will see the little Rhinestone bling in the center of the ornament.
