Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes

 Did you catch my first Facebook Live a couple of weeks ago?  If not, check my Facebook page; annesstampingroom. I decided to showcase the Simply Succulent bundle and the new blending brushes.  It seems I cannot get enough of both of these things as I made the cards again but this time using some bright colours.


You get three blending brushed in each pack and you do not need one for each colour - I am going to have one for each colour family - greens, blues, purples etc.

When you cut out the big die image from the Simply Succulent bundle, you can make two cards by using the die cut as a stencil. After laying the die cut over a piece of basic white cardstock I used the blending brush to layer the three different ink colours - Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo and Mango Melody. Once done, you have two different coloured pieces


For the card using the cutout, I stamped a small succulent image on Melon Mambo cardstock with coordinating ink and cut out with the metal die. I added simple sparkle by brushing with some Wink of Stella - who doesn't like glitter!!


For the sentiment I used one from the You Are Amazing stamp set - this is the coordinating stamp set that goes with the You Are Amazing card kit.  I have the kit, but still need to make the cards, maybe I will make them for my next Facebook Live. I used Melon Mambo ink for the sentiment.  I did not have any Melon Mambo ribbon so I made some myself!!  I used the White Crinkled Seam ribbon and rubbed a Melon Mambo Stampin Blend over it and if by magic, you now have Melon Mambo ribbon!!! 

For the second card, I did the same thing with the ribbon and used a different sentiment from the You Are Amazing stamp set. This time I used Mango Melody for the cardbase which pulls out the ink colour in the blended image.


I love how these cards turned out, such beautiful colours, perfect for Spring!

Diamond Easel Card

 I thoroughly enjoyed making this card for an extra special lady who is turning 80 soon - one of my regular crafters (she is not on social media so I know I am safe sharing it here!).  At a recent class she had loved the Forever Fern DSP and the colours we had used, so I knew this is what I had to use to make this card for her. The card is a diamond easel fold which is very easy to make, you do need 12"x12" cardstock as you need a 6"x12" piece of cardstock to make the cardbase. I had a pack of in-colour 12"x12" cardstock, so I used a piece of Just Jade as the base colour and then used Pretty Peacock for all the mats. I selected two different DSP designs from the Forever Greenery pack. I used the Forever Fern stamp set to create a bouquet of foliage using a variety of green tone inks - Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Just Jade. I added a large Just Jade leaf at the back of the bouquet to bring everything together, added champagne foil 80 and finished off ...

Celebrating with other Leaders

I want to share the amazing family and community that Stampin' Up! is.  This past weekend I had the honor to participate in a Leaders Summit for Stampin' Up! demonstrators who are at a certain level in the company.  It was supposed to be held in New Orleans, but unfortunately that was not to be, instead they moved the summit to a virtual platform.  This is Stampin' Up! leadership team . . . I was not sure what to expect, but it was an amazing few days to listen to keynote speakers and other demonstrators.  The day involved various events and opportunities to breakout into small group discussions.  At one of these sessions, I entered the virtual room and there is the CEO of Stampin' Up! - Sara Douglas, that was a complete surprise! My big take away from the event was that Stampin' Up! sees demonstrators as individuals and not as a number, and they want to offer the best possible environment for us to grow. They see the importance of developing relationship...
