JAI #172: INSPIRED BY THE NEW SU! CATALOGUE

This week at Just Add Ink, Mae has challenged us to create something inspired by the cover of the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.  It is such a cute, fun, scene, that also featured at Stampin' Up!'s recent Convention; I just love it.  Take a look:

A little Ikea frame has been sitting unloved in my cupboard for a while.  I decided to make a 'sampler' of the new Stampin' Up! In Colors, to display in my craft room.  Here's what I came up with, inspired by the photo above:

JAI # 171: A SKETCH, AND SOME YUMMY NEW STAMPIN' UP! COLOURS

This week at Just Add Ink, we have yet another of Mae's great sketches to work from, to make a card or other papercraft project.

I had a great time playing with some of the gorgeous new colours that are being released in Stampin' Up!'s range on 2nd July.  One of the great perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is having access to new products early.  I have used some sneak-peek product that I received for free at Convention, along with other products I've been able to pre-order this month.

Here's what I have created with the new colours of Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe and Baked Brown Sugar:

How cute is the clay flower? **Exciting new product alert!!**  You can create your own air-dried clay flowers and buttons, in three sizes, and colour-match them to your SU! projects, using ink.  Woohoo!
