Botanical Bliss Bundle for Inspire. Create. Challenges

Hello there and welcome to today's post :-)
It's time again for another challenge (#22) with Inspire. Create and this week it's a colour challenge. I love the fresh feel of these colours together...

And I chose to use the very pretty Botanical Bliss Bundle for the first time to make this card!

 I actually don't have the Shaded Spruce ink pad yet (shocking, I know!) so I used the matching colour card and die cut the leaf vines down the side. I'm sharing that snippet with you here just to say that don't have to have every ink pad and /or cardstock colour to join in. Either or a mix will be perfectly fine!

 I die cut three of the flowers and stacked them together for that little something extra.
On a side note, aren't you just thrilled that Coastal Cabana is back?

 I added a few pink stamped mini leaves with the vines and a sentiment from the set, layered onto Powder Pink Card, to finish :-)

So, are you inspired by these colours to join us this week? We'd really love to see what you come up with! For much more inspiration please head over to the challenge blog HERE and see the amazing makes by rest of the DT.
Thanks so much for looking here today :-D

Rhino Card with Tufted Embossing Folder

Hello there and Happy Sunday!
Today's card uses the very lovely Animal Expedition DSP teamed with the Animal Friends dies which (happily) fit the images on one of the sheets of this paper as well as the stamps, of course! I've teamed the die cut image with the new tufted embossing folder and I couldn't resist adding a little sparkle ;-)  Let's see...

Loving the tufted embossing folder for simple textured backgrounds...

  I love how simply die cutting these DSP images are so handy for a card in a hurry.

 Add a vellum stitch edge circle, silver thread and a tiny strip of glimmer paper.

I'm loving this layout for cards at the moment so I really hope you are too because there's more where this came from, lol!
Well, thanks for looking today, I'll be back tomorrow with another new card.

Flying Home Stamp Set and a Ton of News!

Hello there,
I have soooo much to share today! The last week has been just crayzee here so although I have been on Insta and Facebook I have just not had time to blog an actual card on here! And I do have a card today so please do stick with me, I just have a few links and dates to share with you first :-D
So, let's start with what a fab-u-lous time On Stage was last weekend! It was great to see the new catalogue that's coming of course, but it was really great to spend some stamping time with some of my Stampin' Up! family.
OK, so I mentioned the new catty but that of course means retiring products, including the rather gorgeous stamp set I'm featuring here today, Flying Home, :-(
To see all the RETIRING PRODUCTS CLICK HERE

Here's a PDF of Retiring Spring/Summer Products

And a PDF of Annual Catalogue Products
~~~
Please, please order the things you 'must have' ASAP so you aren't disappointed :-)

There was also news of a colour refresh at On Stage so some colours are being removed (for-ever!) to make way for lots of lovely new ones...

And they are also re-configuring the ink pads. Due to the dies coming to the end of their life SU! took the opportunity to improve on the current pads. Don't worry, you won't have to change all your ink pads (unless you want to, of course ;-)) as they will still work and the new ones are much the same size so they should fit in your current storage options fine too. I'll be able to share more soon but for now here is the last guaranteed dates for ordering, then it's while stocks last. 

OK, so let's see a card shall we? I am super sad this stamp set (Flying Home) didn't make the new Annual catty...

 I used blends to colour the image and teamed it with the Wood Textures DSP

 Stitched edge dies. I can't seem to get enough of them ;-)

 Finish with some blingy glimmer paper and a few adhesive sequins and boom! Done!

OK, that's all for today.
I hope you managed to stick with me through this post? If you have any questions regarding the changes please do drop me a line at sarah-janerae@sky.com and I'll be happy to help as much as I'm allowed :-)
