New Catalogue Coming in May - Moonlit Flora Suite Collection

Hello friends! 

Earlier this month I attended OnStage. A Demonstrator only event held in Sydney. A Stampin’ Up!®️ conference held over three days. 

OnStage is a wonderful and fun filled event. It is hard not to get swept up in it all. New catalogue, new products and tools and catching up with Demonstrators from around the world. There is an after hours class offered where Demonstrators purchase a new bundle and create using the bundle and other products supplied by Stampin’ Up!®️. 

This year the beautiful bundle from a suite from the upcoming catalogue called Fern & Flora was the product for this after hours event. We received many coordinating products as well as the bundle.

Today I spent time creating a card with some of the left over products from the event. I love the beautiful leaves and flowers. Using Secret Sea as the card base, mat layer and the stitched circle behind the focal piece.

There was a small amount of the coordinating Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper and the finishing touch was three Dewdrops Embellishments. All these products will be available in May when the new May-August catalogue goes live. 

Thanks for stopping by today. If you live in Australia and don’t have a Demonstrator please get in touch and I can get a new catalogue into your hands.

 

Colour INKspiration #206

Hello friends and welcome to Colour INKspiration #206.

This challenges gorgeous inspiration image was chosen by crew member Vicki Boucher.

This beautiful image is perfect for Easter. I have had the Nature's Symphony Bundle in my stash for a few weeks and I was desperate to use it. I love the beautiful large leaf die! So I have made a masculine themed card with the beautiful leaf die showing some variegation in the leaf using Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce.

The card base and first mat layer are Gray Granite. The Basic White mat layer was embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D embossing Folder. The Embossed layer was glued to the Gray Granite mat layer before using Dimensionals to adhere to the card base.

I used Blending Brushes on a Basic White card piece creating a two tone blended piece of card. I put the large leaf die over the top of the ink blended piece carefully so to show both colours when die cutting.

I die cut the rectangular wood piece in Gray Granite card stock and glued it to the right side of the embossed layer. I adhered the leaf die cut piece over the top of the wood piece using Dimensionals. I tied a length of the Gray Granite Baker's Twine in a bow and adhered it to the leaf stem using glue. 

I stamped the sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White card stock, trimmed it and adhered it on top of the leaf using Dimensionals.

Quite a simple card really and I do so enjoy blending ink with Blending Brushes. The result is really beautiful but different every time.

I hope you will look at all the projects from the Colour INKspiration Crew in the #CI206 Album on our Facebook page.  There are some amazing and inspirational projects there.

Thanks for stopping by today. You are appreciated!

Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - Technique Challenge

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspiratiins Blog Hop for March 2026. 

This month we are creating projects with the Eclipse Technique. I don’t remember if I have tried this technique before. So it was lots of  fun and so easy to do. 

The Layers of Beauty Bundle and Masks were perfect for this challenge. And I have to say it is such a favourite of mine due to the masks. The results are just gorgeous and I have only used two different inks and Blending Brushes for the design. If you haven’t used a mask or tried the eclipse technique I hope you now try one or both!!

 

The card base is Petunia Pop and the mat masked layer Basic White. Petunia Pop and Old Olive were my chosen ink colours for the bloom. Incredible that with Blending Brushes you can create many depths of colour. 

After creating the bloom I used a Perennial Postage Die to die create the Eclipse Technique. I placed the die cut on top of my bloom centrally and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine.

I glued the mat layer with the bloom to the card base. I tied a length of the Bubble Bath ribbon in a double bow and secured it to the centre of the die cut on the mat layer. I adhered the die cut piece using Dimensionals. Stamping the sentiment in Petunia Pop ink on Basic White card stock end used my Paper Trimmer to trim around sentiment. Adhering using Dimensionals and glue. I adhered 6 of the Petunia Pop Flat Pearls around the bloom.
