Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock – AWH Colour Creations Showcase Week 37

This week I am super excited to join the Art With Heart Colour Creations showcase for the first time!  This is a weekly event that allows various team members the opportunity to show their stunning creations using a nominated Stampin' Up! colour for that week. And this week it is: Pretty Peacock.

I have made 2 cards and a notecard to showcase the A Touch of Ink photopolymer stamp set. This set is FREE with a qualifying purchase as part of Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration promotion. But you better be quick as the promotion will end on 28 February 2021 - so only a few days left!

For my first card, the inks used are Pretty Peacock for the butterfly and sentiment and Calypso Coral for the flower petals stamped on Whisper White cardstock.  Momento black ink has been used to outline the butterfly, flowers and leaves.

The base cardstock is Calypso Coral to which I have adhered a layer from the Fine Art Floral DSP that has a painted brushstroke effect. This gorgeous DSP can be found in the current January - June Mini Catalogue. 

The next 2 layers have been cut using Stitched So Sweetly dies in Pretty Peacock and Whisper White cardstock. I have fussy cut the floral stem and leaves and layered this on top, finishing with some Gilded Gems on the butterfly wings.

And here is the inside of the card....

The second card features the stamped butterfly that has been die cut using the Tasteful Labels set which is a very versatile set with different shaped labels and sizes.  

I have also stamped the background in Smoky Slate ink. The butterfly label is layered on Pretty Peacock cardstock where I have cut the ends to create a banner and then embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

The next layer is from the Forever Greenery DSP adhered to Pretty Peacock and then Whisper White card bases. I have stamped the greeting with VersaMark on black cardstock sprinkled with White Stampin' emboss powder and heat embossed.

To finish I have added the trim from Forever Greenery combo pack in both Vanilla and Gold and adhered using the Mini Glue dots.

Happy Mail with Snailed It Bundle from Stampin' Up!

Hi everyone, I haven't posted for a long while as things got quite busy at work in the lead up to Christmas and then the summer break. I am back on this week to showcase some of the sweetest bundles in the new Mini Catalogue - January to June.

I couldn't resist playing with the Snailed It stamp set and dies bundle and the soooo cute and colourful Designer Series Paper. These cards were created for a group swap that I participate in with like-minded crafters and Stampin' Up! hobbyists from around the world and I was excited to send the cards as happy mail to some of the lovely ladies in this group.

An additional promotion running from 5 January to 28 February is Sale-a-bration where you can earn FREE products. For every $90 or $180 AUD you spend, you can choose between two purchasing levels of free products.  Watch this video to find out more. I have used the Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) Designer Series Paper cut out using the perforated-edge square die from the Snail Dies set.  The DSP has 4 colours and two designs, one of which is shown here.

The envelope and little note have been cut using the matching dies and I have fussy cut both the large and small snails.  There are other snail dies that cut both a stamped image or the same image found on the Snail Mail DSP which is great that Stampin' Up! have coordinated it so well.

And another reason to get more excited is for anyone wishing to join as a new Stampin’ Up! demonstrator during Sale-A-Bration, you will receive a free stack of our Regals, Subtles, Neutrals, Brights, and 2020—2022 In Color Designer Series Paper along with your Starter Kit! There couldn’t be a better time to join the Stampin’ Up! family. Email me if you need any further details about joining.

I have used Blushing Bride from the Subtles colour family DSP free stack offered when you join as a new demonstrator which has also been cut using the same square die in the Snails die set.

I am looking forward to showing a few more cards using the different products from both the January-June mini and Sale-a-bration catalogues.

 Happy crafting until next time
