Seaside Bay Bundle Focus – W1

G’Day Friends,

I thought I would share our February Bundle Focus creation from last week.  It has been created with the gorgeous Seaside Bay Bundle, along with the lovely By the Bay DSP, Balmy Blue & White Variegated Ribbon & the Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls which all make up the By the Bay Suite Collection.  You can view this lovely Suite on Page 23 of the new Mini Catalogue.

Check out that gorgeous Paper.  Of course, you know me, I just had to randomly chop it into pieces lol.

The stitched shape is from the Stitched Rectangles Dies while the sentiment has been stamped with Night of Navy Ink.

Be sure to check out the video to see how I created my card.

Inspirations in Ink January Blog Hop

G’Day Friends,

Thank you for dropping by where once again it’s time for our Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop.

Welcome to January where we are showcasing the oh so gorgeous Seaside Bay Bundle.  I have loved playing with this Bundle so much that I know you will too.

You may be starting here – Vicky Wright, Australia – or have come from another blog.  Either way, you can find our Blog Roll at the end of this post, especially if you get a little lost.  All you have to do is click on the links to follow along.

Chcek out this cute little Seagull!  Don’t you think he is just the cutest?  To achieve this look, I inked the image with Sahara Sand Ink, prior to randomly daubing Night of Navy Ink over the feathers with a Sponge Dauber.

The sand/seahells image was stamped direct onto a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock with Sahara Sand Ink.  Yep,  you read right!  I wanted to play & create with Very Vanilla Cardstock instead of Basic White Cardstock which is what coordinates with the By the Seaside Designer Series Papers.  I think it worked out perfectly, but you be the judge.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today.  I have a few more projects to share with you throughout February along with the Bundle Focus Online Class all created with this gorgeous Bundle.

As mentioned above, this is a blog hop.  I know you will see amazing projects created with this Bundle along the way.  Of course, don’t forget to leave a little comment or 2 as you go.

Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop – November 2022

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for joining me today.  Once again I am joining Kylie & Bruno’s  Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Monthly Training Blog Hop.  I love these hops, so many ideas & inspiration, so many talented crafters & Demos.

We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and to reach goals we have set ourselves.  Your support is really appreciated.

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 wanted to use my Stampin’ Write Markers in some way on my card this month.  I feel that sometimes we just sort of overlook our wonderful Markers.  I know I do, do you?

The panel has been masked off with Masking Sheets prior to randomly stamping an image & then carefully removing the masks prior to ruling a line down each side where the stamping ends.  It sort of looks like it has been layered onto Cardstock, don’t you think?

Sunny Splash

G’Day Friends,

I have an easy but fun technique for you today.  I first saw this somewhere in my social media feed either TickTok, Pinterest or FB.  I’m not sure which but it stuck in the back of my mind & thought I would give it ago.

To create my bubbles, I’ve used Coastal Cabana Ink along with a Sponge Dauber.  You could also use your Blending Brushes if you wish along with as many colours as you like.

It would be great to see the same effect with different shapes or even balloons.

I am loving the soft colour of Coastal Cabana along with the Bermuda Bay togs & Basic Grey sentiment.  What about the bling?  They are the Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds which just pops the card even more.

Watercolouring with Painted Poppies Stamp Set

G’Day Friends,

Thank you for dropping by today.  It is very much appreciated.

As July is Watercoluring month I thought I would share a couple of cards I’ve created using our Water Painters, Inks & Refills.  It is such a fun technique, so be sure you have a play.

Check out this video highlghting how to watercolour with your Water Painters.

As I hadn’t played with the Watercolour Paper for some time, out it came.

For my card I was determined to use a set that I hadn’t used for sometime, so down came the Painted Poppies Stamp Set.  In fact, this set is fantastic for watercolouring as the images are big & open, just want you want for quick & easy cards.  I also dug out my Watercolour Pencils & Water Painter.

The sentimet is from Peaceful Moments Stamp Set & has been stamped onto Very Vanilla with Gorgeous Grape Ink.

Do you recognise the layout?  It has actually been cased from Page 28 of the Annual Catalogue!

Now that you have seen my card & how easy it is, don’t forget to dig your Wwater Painters out & do a little watercolouring too!
