Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Last Chance Items

 Fourteen of the month so you know what that means! It's team blog and Insta hop day! This month we are highlighting some of our most loved items from either the Jan - April mini or the Annual Catalogue that are now on the last chance list.

I love how this card turned out and have to give props to @kaylareneestamps for this inspiration. 

I am highlighting the Scalloped Contours Dies. These have been around for a couple of annual catalogues now but I am still sad to see them finally being retired. Great news though, they are currently discounted to $33.60. Sadly the stamp set they coordinate with has already sold out so I had to pivot on that part of my project. Instead I have paired them up with the Earthen Elegance Suite which is also on the last chance list. These are products I was super in love with and just didn't use enough so I'm super sad to see them go as well.

Except for the card base, and the two die cuts in Distressed Gold, every layer is DSP from the Earthen Elegance DSP (still available and discounted). You can bet I will be making several more of these with the DSP I have left! If you look closely, you can also see I used two of the large scallop dies (they nest within each other) as well as the smallest one which I stamped my sentiment within.

I love this colour combo for the earthenware and it's contents. I used Pretty Peacock, Distressed Gold and Berry Burst (full strength and stamped off). Both vessels, are die cut from the DSP with stamping on the Peacock one. I then used the Natural Wavy Trim to accent the vessel that has no stamping.

I used Pebbled Path to stamp the greeting (need to get this colour back in my rotation). I also really love the contrast from the rich DSP as a background for the circle diecut.

I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with. Be sure to hop around and check them all out!

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Stampin' Up!'s Markers

Fourteen of the month so you know what that means! It's team blog and Insta hop day! This month we are highlighting either Stampin' Write Markers or Stampin' Blends Markers.

I chose to do an oldie but good technique with my Stampin' Write Markers and to also feature some of the NEW products available released March 5th in the Online Exclusives.

The trick here with the markers is to colour with them on one of your acrylic blocks, use your spritzer to get it wet and then "stamp" with the block on watercolour paper. 

Once "stamped", you usually have to gently blot off a bit of the extra water and then I usually use my heat tool to dry the area.

After that, you can stamp all over it as you like!

For this design, I focused on the 2022-2024 In-Colours which are soon to retire. 

Once dried, I die cut using my Deckled Rectangle Dies (cut twice with a wide die to get a narrow shape). 

I then stamped in Versamark and used clear Embossing Powder to add a bit of shiny message to the strip.

I worked with the NEW bundle Happy Little Things as well as the NEW Fun Patterns embossing folders.  These are folders meant to fit in the mini cut and emboss machine but what I found, at least with the folder I used, you can overlap the pattern perfectly in order to emboss a larger piece of cardstock (and you don't even get a line down your page!)

To finish off the design, I stamped the outline stamp for the words in Starry Sky and then did the fill in versamark and white embossing powder. 

I used one of the 2 dies included in the bundle to create the little banners which I think adds a super fun feel to the card. 

And last but not least, the In Colour Pearls!

Stampin' Up!®'s NEW A Little Latte Suite of Products

Stampin' Up!® is releasing SO many NEW products to their online store tomorrow as part of their Online Exclusives collection! This suite is one of them and I love it!  

This was my first go at creating with it and I decided to stick to a simple design focusing primarily on the stamps and dies vs the DSP (which is amazing!). I did add in both the ribbon and the embellishments and I really love how it turned out even with all the white space (which I normally can't handle, lol).

I stamped, and coloured, my mug to look like the DSP but I promise you it is not.  Check out the video to see all the details!

Can't wait to cut into that DSP and create so many more amazing cards!
