Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints & Blending Brushes

G’Day Friends,

It’s time for a Create Weekly Sketch Layout!  This week is all about #13 which is a very easy layout but one that can be replicated in so many ways.

I also have a different way for you to save the Layouts which makes great use of the 6 x 8 Photo Albums.  Eventually they will all be converted to this way as I think it is the just another way of using our Albums.  They will also have their own page!  A video will be uploaded sometime this week showing you how to organise them but in the meantime, click on the one you would like –

  • Click on the preferred layout to download, save or print & place in a folder for future use
  • The coloured layout & the sample layout can be placed in the Album back to back if you like

 

I decided a little bit of blending would suit this layout so I went with Crumb Cake, Peacan Pie & Pretty Peacock.  Not colours I would normally put together but it is always good to get out of your comfort zone.

The lovely fern leaf is from Nature’s Prints Bundle, stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock prior to being die cut with the matching die from the Natural Prints Dies.  The sentiment is from the same set but stamped with Peacan Pie Ink.  To complete the card I added a small bow from Linen Thread & randomly adhered 5 x Rustic Metallic Dots to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Decorative Masks & Nature’s Prints

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by today.

Can you believe this is our last share for April hightlighting just a couple of the fun ways you can add a Colouring Technique to your projects?  Throughout April, Robbie & myself have been sharing a couple of our favourite colouring techniques each Sunday.  I sure hope you have enjoyed them.  I know we have.

Well today I didn’t know what to do so I pulled out my Decorative Masks & Blending Brushes BUT I wanted to play with an idea I’ve had forming in my mind all week.  I wasn’t too sure how it was going to turn out but I think I am happy with the final result, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Oh my it is so lovely that Pretty Peacock is returning.  I had forgotten what a WOW it was!  You are going to LOVE Bubble Bath too.  I know it will fast become one of my favourites.

If you haven’t played with the Decorative Masks, why not give them ago.  You will surprise yourselves.  Play, play, play & then create a project with all that playing you’ve done.  Go on, I dare you!

Be sure to pop over to check out what Robbie has created, by clicking HERE.

Kylie’s International Blog Highlights – September

G’Day Friends,

Today I am hopping along with Kylie’s International Blog Hop for September.  It’s been a few months since I’ve hopped along.

 This is a hop where Demonstrators from all around the world chose to take part highlighting all our lovely product.  If this is the first time visiting my blog, thank you so much for dropping by.

You are able to vote for my card Here or by clicking on the photo below.

Thank You is our theme for the hop.  Many of us don’t take the time to thank the ones we love or care about.  It can be the simple things that they do for us each day or big things that they have done recently.  It is so important to say thank you and show our appreciation for the hard work of others and the kindness that they show.

I love creating this type of card & posting them off in the mail or leaving them in my neighbours letterboxes.  Do you know of anyone you can this?type of card to?  I’m sure they would appreciate it.

As the gorgeous Nature’s Prints Bundle was still sitting o my desk from a previous project, I thought why not?

This Bundle is one of my favourites from the Annual Catalogue & one that I must admit have not used much.

See the Ribbon?  It is the lovely Starry Sky Metallic Woven which blends in perfectly with the Night of Navy Ink & Cardstock.

If you live in Australia, click on the photo below to purchase this Suite.  Don’t forget to use the September Host Code – WVPZMJKG  –  if your order is under $250.
