Irresistible Blooms Online Exclusives - Reintroducing Pretty Peacock

 


Hello stamping friends, I have a card to share with you which uses some of the Online Exclusive products. These products are only available online until sold out. The links to purchase these products are listed below.

The products I've used for this card are the Irresistible Blooms Bundle and the Basic 3D Embossing Folders.


The flowers were stamped on Fluid Watercolour Paper in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. They were then coloured with Petal Pink and Calypso Coral ink.


Fortunately I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to previous Stampin' Up! colours so I still had half a pack of Pretty Peacock card stock AND an ink pad. This seems to be one of the past colours that is returning to our range in the new catalogue that starts on the 2nd of May.


The Pretty Peacock card stock was stamped with the splatter stamp and then embossed with one of the Online Exclusive Basic 3D Embossing Folders.


The circles and lines along the side of the card and the leaves were cut from other dies in the Irresistible Blooms Dies.


The greeting was heat embossed then cut with the oval die from the Beautiful Shapes Dies.

All of these products, apart from the Pretty Peacock products, are now available from my online Stampin' Up! store.

Please contact me if you have any questions, alway happy to chat about Stampin' Up!

Thanks for visiting,
Rachel

colour Creations Blog Hop week 43 - Rich Razzleberry Pretty Prints



Hi stamping friends, welcome to week 43 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Each week we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we are featuring Rich Razzleberry, a lovely, dark purple/red colour.

I dug into my comprehensive Designer Series Paper(DSP) supplies and made these two very quick and simple but effective cards. The DSP packs I used were Pretty Prints and Sun Prints.

I used one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut all of the DSP pieces. These pieces were mounted on Basic White card stock and Rich Razzleberry card base.


The white leaf sprig was cut with a dies from the Forever Flourishing Dies. The greeting is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and was embossed in White Emboss Powder on Rich Razzleberry card stock. 

Now it's time to see what my fellow team member and talented stamper Theresa Gerrard has to share with us.

If you have any problems with the links in our blog hop please head to Cathy Proctor's blog as she is the host of our blog hops and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Thanks for visiting,

Rachel

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 42 - Real Red Irresistible Blooms

 


 Hello stampers, welcome to week 42 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order.              

This week we are featuring Real Red, a lovely rich red colour from the Brights Colour family.
I am using a new bundle called Irresistible Blooms which is available as one of our new Online Exclusive products. Stampin' Up! are releasing Online Exclusive products several times during the year.


These are the first selection of Online Exclusive products. They can only be found in the online store.


I heat embossed the floral images in Black Embossing Powder, on either Shimmery White cardstock or Real Red card stock. I like the vibrant black contrast and the extra texture that the embossing powder gives.


I coloured the Shimmery White card stock with a Water Painter and Real Red ink.


The leaves are cut from Basic Black card stock. Some of the leaves have been coloured with or sparkled with a Wink of Stella pen.


I pull apart some black twine into single threads and attached them behind the leaves. The background paper is a piece of vellum from the Layering Designs pack.
The final touches on this card were some Basic Rhinestone Jewels. The greeting is also from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and was stamped in Memento Black ink.

If you have any questions about my project or any of the Online Exclusive products please contact me, I'm always happy to chat about stamping. Shop here for Online Exclusives.

Now it's time to head over to Theresa Gerrard and check out the amazing project she has to share with us.
