Stampin’ Up! Whiskey Business

G’Day Friends,

You are probably already aware that today the Last Chance Products from both the Annual & Mini Catalogues are now live.

It’s the perfect chance to save up to 60% on some of those retiring products while saying goodbye to others.    Remember, ONLY WHILE STOCKS LAST!   Would you believe there are products on low supply or gone, gone, gone!
Grab your favourites TODAY before you miss out by clicking HERE or on the photo below.

Whiskey Bussiness is just one of the many Stamp Sets retiring.  It has been a great friend to me over the years & perfect for male cards.

My card today has actually been cased from the front of the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue.  In fact, I did a video for one of our Stamp & Create FB Lives casing the front cover way back in November 2022.

A layer of Soft Succulent Cardstock was embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder prior to being adhered to a Merry Merlot Base Card.  The middle panel is Pale Papaya.  Can you believe Merry Merlot, Pale Papaya AND Soft Succulent are retiring?

Hues of Happiness Suite by Stampin’ Up!

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by.  It is always very much appreciated.

Today I am sharing our Create Weekly #19 Sketch layout.  I share a layout each Sunday & the on the Monday a video is shared creating a card with the layout along with 1 or 2 alternate ideas.  They are always nice & easy which is what it is all about plus it’s a great way of getting your mojo going with the added bonus of being lots of fun.

For my card today I played with one of everyone’s favoutite- the Hues of Happiness Suite which is in the Annual Catalogue.  Even though I am not a Bright’s person, I am loving all the bright colours in this Suite.

The Base Card is Pool Party & teamed up with the lovely So Saffron flower which has been die cut from the gorgeous DSP.  Don’t you love it when we can do that?

By clicking on the link below, you will be able to see 2 alternate ideas created with the same sketch layout.

September Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop

G’Day Friends,

Welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop for September!  Where does the time go?

We are a group of SU! Demos from all over the world sharing our love of Stampin’ Up! You are free to join us if you like, but we do ask that you be a current SU! Demo & that you use current SU! products.

September is about Autumn or Spring depending on which part of the world you live in.  Here in the South Pacific we are entering Spring.  The birds are chirping, the flowers are full of live & it is raining cats & dogs!

You may have arrived from Cheryl’s blog where she shared her lovely creation.  If you are starting from my blog, all you have to do is click on the Blog Roll below in case you get lost!

When I laid eyes on the Cheerful Basket Stamp Set, a few ideas immediately popped into my head.  One of which is this.  I’m not sure if I’ve carried it off but I’m happy with the end result.

A little masking, a little colouring with the fabulous Stampin’ Blends along with a pop of colour in Tahitian Tide & of course, Clear Wink of Stella & I think it shouts spring.  What do you think?

To tone down the Tahitian Tide colours, I decided to layer the Basic White layer onto Petal Pink & then to a Crumb Cake Base Card.

It was finished off with a couple of Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gems.
