STAMPIN' UP! CHRISTMAS BAUBLE IN WISTERIA WONDER ... SHOWCASING THE WEEKLY DEALS

Have you noticed something new in the sidebar of my blog?  You can now see at a glance what the current Weekly Deals are from Stampin' Up!, and can order from my online store simply by clicking on any of the items you see - pretty cool, hey?

Every Wednesday, new Weekly Deals are released - a limited number of current products is on sale until the end of the following Tuesday.  This week you can grab some great bargains on items that I personally love!  I have made a card that features Wisteria Wonder cardstock, and the Hexagon Hive thinlits die - both on special this week.

I've been having a play with my Blendabilities (Stampin' Up!'s alcohol markers) and the Christmas Bauble stamp from the Holiday Catalogue.  I was inspired by these cards made by Emma Goddard; I do love me a bit of creative licence when it comes to colouring, and papercraft!

All of the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card are shown below; by clicking on them, you'll be taken to my online store. (Regular prices appear below, but remember the Wisteria Wonder cardstock, and Hexagon Hive die, are on special this week.)  Be prepared to see several more Christmas Bauble cards from me in the coming weeks - I have coloured ten of these images, and intend to have lots of fun with them!

STAMPIN' UP! KIND KOALA ... ROSE RED AND HEXAGONS

A lovely new friend allowed me to stamp out some images using her Kind Koala stamp, that I have yet to buy.  Beware ... there may be several koala posts coming up in the next week or so, as I stamped several of these cuties!

I have put my Blendabilities to work; Stampin' Up!'s alcohol based markers are perfect for colouring in the little koala.  My first card in the koala series came together from 'bits and pieces' I had on my craft desk.  Rose Red is a colour I very seldom use, but I had stamped a piece of Rose Red card with the 'bubbly' image from my So Very Happy stamp set.  This stamped panel was on my desk, along with a Hexagon Hive die-cut from Back to Black Designer Series Paper.  I put the two together, which determined my colour scheme for the card.  One of my favourite features of my Kind Koala cards is the shiny nose of each koala.  I used my Basic Black Stampin' Write marker to colour the nose, then covered it in Crystal Effects, which dries hard and shiny.  Too cute!  Here's what I ended up with:

If you click on the images below, you'll be taken to my online store, where you can buy the Stampin' Up! products used on my card.  Be sure to come back for more koala cuteness in the coming days!

JAI #225: STAMPIN' UP! PETITE PETALS & HEXAGON HIVE

For this week's Just Add Ink challenge, Patrice has come up with this awesome colour combination  to use on our papercraft projects:

 

 

I very seldom use So Saffron, but really enjoyed playing with this colour combo.  I have been dying to use my new Back to Black Designer Series Paper, so that was my "jumping off point" for my card.  I've stamped the Woodgrain background stamp on both the Hexagon Hive die cut panel, and the Deco Label on which the sentiment is mounted.  Here's my card for this week's challenge:

 

 

 

 

Stamps: Woodgrain, Petite Petals, Chalk Talk

Card: Smoky Slate, So Saffron, Whisper White

DSP: Back to Black Designer Series Paper

Ink: Smoky Slate and So Saffron stampin' pads, Tuxedo Black Memento inkpad, Basic Black craft ink (retired)

Other: Clear stampin' emboss powder, Hexagon Hive thinlits die, Deco Labels framelits, XL Oval punch, Smoky Slate chevron ribbon, Petite Petals punch, sponge daubers, Scallop Edge Border punch, Neutrals and Subtles Candy Dots, stampin' dimensionals

 

 

Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team's beautiful samples over at Just Add Ink.  Why not play along with us this week?  We'd love to see how you use these colours together!
