Wheelbarrow of Thanks Card using You're Sublime by Stampin' Up! and my own Colour Challenge - CAS Card

Hello there,
I hope you are well? I have another super fun card today using You're Sublime (again). I do love this set, especially for colour challenges... I say challenges but this was one I set for myself by selecting ink pads (specifically to use the new in colours at the time) that I thought would work well together and these are the colours I chose... 
And here is the card! 
TIP: I have this stamp set in clear mount so I can snip off the sentiment but still re-align it on a clear block to use the image as it was intended, see HERE for tips on doing that.
I used thick white card to stamp the image with staz on and watercoloured with an aqua painter and ink pads before topping the flowers with a wash of clear Wink Of Stella
 I popped up the top layer on dimensionals and stuck the mat flat to the card (with tombow glue) for a different twist on the dimension.
 I was really happy with how this card turned out, still beautifully CAS but not quite as CAS as the card on my last post ;-)
So, I hope you've enjoyed todays card? Before I go, just to let you know I will be closing this months hostess code at 6pm tonight. Don't forget to use the code below for all orders under £150 and I will send out a little gift for every order placed with me over £25 next week :-)

CAS Sweet Sugarplum and Flirty Flamingo Butterflies using Stampin' Up! Butterfly Dies

Hello there,
Today I have a super CAS (clean and simple) card for you. We made this card at my new catalogue party. This card was very  much inspired by another card I made and shared with you at the end of May, you can see that original design HERE. I changed up the colours for a softer look to Sweet Sugarplum and Flirty Flamingo, which I think work beautifully together...
 The sentiment is from Party with Cake (again) and I stamped it in Smoky Slate ;-)
I only adhered the centres  of the butterflies for plenty of dimension.
 And for extra sparkle I coloured just the Sweet Sugarplum butterfly with my trusty Clear Wink Of Stella pen.
Well, I have another busy day ahead but will be back tomorrow with a new card and a video too. 
Thanks for looking today I hope you get a chance to craft!

Emboss Resist Pineapple Card using Stampin' Up! Supplies with FREE Video Tutorial!

Hello!
I love, love, love this giant pineapple stamp in the new SU! catalogue and I knew it would be perfect in the Pop Of Paradise class I had last week! I wanted to use the black and white side of the paper to showcase the versatility of this DSP as you can use this fun emboss resist technique with any colour ink you'd like!
TIP: Bold colours do work especially well on DSP.
 And so I made these cards....
 Using Mint Macaron ink....
And Melon Mambo ink. This was a popular choice....
 And both together :-)
 So, I thought I would make a quick video sharing how to create this card for you at home.
And this is the card I made on camera using Pool Party ink. It reminds me of long, hot summer holidays *sigh*
Well, that's all from me for today. I really hope you enjoyed these three cards today and the video too, of course! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
