Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop – April 2023

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for joining me today.  I’m once again joining Kylie & Bruno’s  Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Monthly Training Blog Hop.

You may be starting here – Vicky Wright – or have come from another blog – either way you can find the Blog Roll at the bottom of this post.  By clicking on the links, you are sure not to miss out on lots of inspiration for your next project.

I’ve been playing with Colouring Techniques this month & thought I would continue with the gorgeous Soft Pastels Assortments for my Thank You cards this month.

If you haven’t played with thsese little devils, do yourself a favour, dig them out & start playing.  They are truely lovely with the end result being a complete surprise.

The paper is from the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper which I teamed up with the Forever Fern Stamp Set.  I’ve coloured the leaves with the Night of Navy Pastel & a cotton bud.  I’m really happy with the final result.

The card was finished off with a little White Baker’s Twine bow & a couple of the Glossy Dots Assortments.  The sentiment was stamped onto scrap Basic White Cardstock with Night of Navy Ink before before being cut into shape & adhered to the right of the panel.

As mentioned previously this is a blog hop, so be sure to check out all the inspirations on today’s hop by clicking on the links below.  Don’t forget to leave a little love too as I’m sure the would appreciate it.

Stampin’ Up! Whale Done with Soft Pastels

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by today.

I would like to wish you all a very safe & happy Easter.  Enjoy your day whether you are with family or friends.

During April, Robbie & myself will be sharing our favouite colouring tecniques each Sunday.  Not only that, we each have a video on how we did our colouring & created our projects.

I’ve teamed the Soft Pastels with the Whale Done Stamp Set, which is on the Retiring List.  Although I am happy to see the Soft Pastels aren’t retiring.  I love these little devils so much.  There are tons of ways you can use them too.  Today’s card is only 2 ways of playing with them.

See the cute turtle?  That was coloured with Sponge Daubers & Inks.  You can see how I did that in the video too.  Don’t you just love the pretty colour of the whale?

Don’t you just love that background?  An easy & simple way to create lots of pretty backgrounds for your cards or even scrapbook pages.

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

Friends are like Seashells

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by.

My card today is one we created in our Mystery Stamping a couple of weeks ago & thought I would share it with you.

I’ve been playing with the Soft Pastels of late & WOW, WOW, WOW!  I can’t seem to put the things down.

If you haven’t see them in the Annual Catalogue, do yourself a favour & grab them today, as you need these little beauties in your collection.  I love them so much that I’m planning on doing a series of classes with them, but more about that later.

Again it is an easy layout & one which you can use over & over while resulting in a completely different look.  But then again, that is what Mystery Stamping is all about – simple, easy but with a little bit of mystery!!!

To watch the video on how I created my card, click on the photo below.

Of course, when you have a great layout that you love & use over & over, there is no stopping.  I then shared a 2nd card I created that morning with different supplies.

My 2nd card I shared using the same layout has been created with the lovely limited Waves of the Ocean Collection.  This Collection will no longer be available after May 2.

Cardstock is Granny Apple Green, Night of Navy & Basic White.  The images have been stamped in Soft Suede, Basic Black & NIght of Navy Inks.  Of course the Waves of the Ocean DSP is from the Collection.
