Dragon Fly Dreams With A Little Bokeh

Hi and Happy New Year for 2017.

I've been a little quiet on my blog this last month, as I've been enjoying some family time, a little interstate travel, Christmas and New Year. Now, however it is time to wow you all with some samples from the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue that will be on sale from January 4th. If you would like a catalogue please request one from my Demonstrator website fill in your request in the contact form and I'll send it to you. 

The new Occasions Catalogue is full of fabulous BUNDLES. You save 10% when purchasing 2 products in a bundle and  one of the first Bundles I purchased was the Dragon Fly Bundle consisting of The Dragonfly Dreams stamp set (#142924) and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies (#142749) 

Dragonfly Bundle number is 144728.

I combined stamping, die cutting and Designer Series paper together for this card.

One of my favourite Designer Series Papers is the Serene Scenery 15.2 cm square Paper Stack. In this card I used the bokeh image as the main background to my card. I stamped the Dragonfly in Old Olive and then stamped it off to produce a lighter image. Don't you just love the delicate lines in this stamped image?

I cut the Black dragonfly from Black Glimmer Paper. You can see how it shimmers in the detail photo below.

I added a greeting from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set - love that script, and stamped that using Memento Black on Thick Whisper White card stock. This was a bit stark against the rest of the card so I used my usual method of softening and area by stamping off a part image (dragonfly) and sponging very lightly around the edges. I matted the greeting with Black Glimmer paper and raised it on Dimensionals. The dragonfly is also raised with Dimensionals

This particular card is a Pop Up Twist Card with a base of Thick Whisper White.

I hope you like my first sample from the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue. Pop back often to see more samples. You are going to love this catalogue - it is so diverse and so gorgeous. 

Until Next Time

Stampin' Up! 2015 Occasions Catalogue Launch

A new catalogue is always exciting and this one from Stampin' Up! certainly does not disappoint. It is filled with gorgeous stamps, accessories and loads of ideas. To celebrate the launch of this catalogue, I held an event for some of my customers. 

It was a pretty casual event with one side of the work tables covered in samples and new products, while the other side had work stations for everyone to try out a couple of select products.

One of the first projects you see is the gorgeous flower posie on the front cover of the catalogue. I made one up to decorate the table and I have to say - it is stunning. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but now I'm looking forward to making a few more. Kits are such a great idea for gifts and lots of fun for classes.

There are stamp sets galore in this Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue, and they come in a variety of wood mount, clear mount or photopolymer, giving you lots of options and price ranges. 

Look out also for Bundles - you'll save 15% on them, while getting accessories that help speed up the crafting process. 

Here are just a few of the stamp sets that were on display! They generated lots of interest and ideas for using them were shared around. 

This Occasions Catalogue comes with a bonus as it is part of Sale A Bration. 

Stampin' Up! has this great promotion at the beginning of each year and everyone can earn free products. All you have to do is spend $90 on product from any of the current catalogues, the Clearance Rack and the Weekly Deals and you can choose one item from the Sale A Bration Catalogue
