ESAD 2017 Occasions & Saleabration Catalogue Blog Hop

Welcome from the ever so talented Kelly's blog.

I saw this stampset in the catalogue and immediately had an idea with it. I went along to another demo friends Pizza and Papercraft night in mid December and made these....

Girl Version

Boy Version

Stamps: Moon Baby
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Soft Sky and Memento
Card: Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Soft Sky, Pool Party, clear window sheet, whisper white and watercolour
Tools: Layering Circle Framelits & Lucky Stars Embossing folder with the Bigshot, aqua painter
Embelishments: Dimensionals

Another project I started while out and about this particular night was this using the new succulents bundle.

It looks lovely just plain on its own

Or with a 4 x 6 family picture in the middle matted with the sweet sugarplum.
(sorry about the picture I couldn't find a nice one by the time I decided to add one in)

I think the succulents look gorgeous in a frame.

Stamps: Oh So Succulent
Ink: Whisper White Craft Ink
Card: Whisper White, Old Olive, Sweet Sugarplum and Succulent Garden DSP
Tools: Succulent Framelits with the bigshot machine

Next on the hop is Peta, I am sure she will stun you with some amazing projects.

The most exciting time of the year - Saleabration!!!!

Hello everyone.

Today is the most exciting time of the year for me - SALEABRATION!!

For every $90 you spend you get to choose an item from this catalogue

http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/Sale-A-Bration_2017/SAB_2017_SP.pdf

Click on the picture to see the great amount of beautiful FREEBIES!!

Coinciding with today is the awesome Occasions Catalogue in which I was lucky enough to receive some beautiful product to make samples with at Onstage Live in Brisbane in early November.

I love everything about this brilliant catalogue

http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/2017%20Occasions%20Catalog/20161007_OCC17_en-AU.pdf

Click on the image to see the gorgeous products available

There are some items from the recent Holiday Catalogue that were so popular that they are carrying over for a time and can still be purchased, check them out here

But the fun and excitement does not stop there - HOST a party (or spend $400 yourself) and there are even more rewards! an extra $40 on the hostess rewards on top of the current ones.

That is something to saleabrate!!

Here is something that I whipped up for a friends engagement the other day using some of the new products available from the occasions catalogue

While I was at it her gorgeous little girl had a birthday so I made her a card too

Another awesome thing about SALEABRATION is if you join my team (The Inkypinks) you also get to choose TWO extra free stampsets to add to your kit!! WOW!! It truly is the best time of the year to join.

http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/nicolewilson/jointhefun

You can join as a hobby demonstrator to get yourself a nice little discount or make it into your full time job...

The choice is yours.

The bonus is that if you can not continue with it... there are no exit fees!!

What are you waiting for???

Pre Colour INKspiration sample

Hi Everyone - There is a new facebook group called Colour INKspiration that consists of a team of talented Aussie and NZ Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrators that create projects based on Pinterest inspired colour swatches.

There’s also a Facebook group for Stampin' Up! ® enthusiasts who would like to share their paper craft projects using the colour combinations.

This is what is going to happen - Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm (AEDT), a new colour swatch will be uploaded to the Facebook Colour INKspiration Group and the Colour INKspiration Crew will get the ball rolling by providing inspiration for each challenge with a blog hop. The first one starts on Wednesday, 11th January.

Members of the group have the option to join the Colour INKspiration 'Challenge' by uploading photos of their projects and can link back to their personal blog if they wish to.
Make sure you click on the link below and ask to join Colour INKspiration, add the group to your favourites and share it with your crafty friends so they can join in with the challenges too.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge 116

Welcome from Karens blog this week.

http://richesstitches.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/the-artful-stampers-blog-hop-22.html

My oh my I absolutely love these colours!!

I must say I also absolutely love this new stampset and thinlits too!!

The background of the large hot air balloon I used my sponge daubers and made a gradual rainbow background with the colours. I think it worked perfectly. It is just a shame that the picture doesn't show how shimmery the pink balloon is at the bottom.

Stamps: Lift Me Up
Ink: Rose Red, Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, Elegant Eggplant and Flirty Flamingo
Card: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay, Elegant Eggplant, Flirty Flamingo and Cupcakes & Carousels DSP paper stack
Tools: Up & Away Thinlits Dies with the Bigshot, Stampin Write Markers and sponge daubers
Embellishments: Dimensionals & Wink of stella

Next on the hop is back around to Jane

ESAD 2017 Occasions & Saleabration Catalogue Sneak Peek

Welcome from Samantha's blog.

This is a sneaky peek of what is to come next month for Saleabration and the Occasions Catalogues.

So I have combined two sets that work together perfectly.

Stamps: Cool Treats & Tasty Trucks
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate & Staz On
Card: Whisper White, Watercolour Paper, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Tempting Turquoise
Tools: Layering Squares Framelits with the Bigshot, Triple Banner Punch, Black Stampin Write Marker and aqua painter
Embellishments: Dimensionals

Combining a set from the Occasions catalogue with a set from Saleabration works so so well.
I used Cool Treats as the background stamping on the Turquoise and Daffodil panels.

Next on the hop is the super amazing Kelly who does the most amazing work and I am proud to also call her a friend. (This is the most awesome thing about Stampin' Up! I would never have met her if it wasn't for my little hobby)

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge 112

Welcome from Cindys blog this week.

I did think no I won't use anything from the upcoming catalogue but I couldn't resist having a play with the new Balloon Adventures Bundle. I did steer away from the Party Animal DSP and used the new Sending Love Paper Stack as I wanted it to be Red..
(It is for a very very special friend of mine who has a birthday this weekend and who hopefully isn't reading this blog right about now.....)

I stuck the silver balloon on to the pop up part only by one side so it wasn't folded in the middle.

Stamps: Balloon Adventures
Ink: Real Red, Memento, Watermelon Wonder
Card: Whisper White, Real Red, Silver Glimmer Paper, Watermelon Wonder and Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack
Tools: Stitched Framelits & Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies with the Bigshot
Embellishments: Dimensionals

Next on the hop is Anna I bet her creation is very specky :-)
