Phoenix Inspirations

Before i became a demonstrator I made a purchase of a second hand Stampin' Up bundle: Oh So Succulent and the matching dies. It was a set I had always hankered after but missed out when it was current. I was lucky to find it when I was browsing Ebay and I snapped it up immediately! So I've had a bit of a play and this is what I made The succulent images were stamped and coloured with a combination of Stampin' Markers and coloured pencils. They were then die cut on my Big Shot. The vase is a die cut circle cut in half and the die cut images were arranged on top of it with glue and dimensionals. The background is the recently retired Hardwood stamp and the Country Floral 3D embossing folder which is available in the current catalogue. I really love succulents and I'm just about to start preparing a patch of ground in my garden which I'm going to turn into a succulent and alpine garden - that's if it doesn't rain again!! Thanks for lookin...

Today I have for you one of the very new sets from the new catalogue. It's going to be one of my many favourites as it's so pretty and feminine. It's called To a Wild Rose and here is the card I created I've used a very simple colour palette and made it very clean and simple by making the card one layer only. Colours are: Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz. This card was made for a Stampin' Up Facebook swap. I made nine cards like the one above and got nine different ones in return. I will showcase these a little later on as they all feature new stash from the catalogue! As always the above products can be ordered from me or my shop SHOP jacquelinenm68@gmail.com Thanks for stopping by today to take a look - see you soon - J x

The start of the month saw a new challenge over at the Rainbow Card Challenge This month Mynn has a gorgeous colour combo - take a look Now I don't own any 'neon' colours so my card is just a rainbow coloured card and I really enjoyed creating it The ships were coloured with my new Stampin' Blends and the sea was stamped with Pacific Point ink. Here's a closer view The stamp set I have used is one I purchased in my Starter Kit when I joined as a demonstrator - it's called Lilypad Lake and it's available in this year's catalogue too. All products used on this project can be purchased from me - please do get in touch. Thanks for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
