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.

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?
