Blended Seasons

written by Kylie

Hi, sadly we are almost at the end of the month which means there is only one day left to secure the Colour Your Seasons Bundle (featuring the Blended Seasons stamp set and the Stitched Seasons Framelits dies – both available separately). Don’t forget the Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2 also goes away at the end of the day. There’s a possibility of the Watercolour Pencils making a return but we don’t know for sure at this stage so please grab them now if you think you might want them in the future.

I have three similar cards to share today. They all follow the same design style I’ve been favouring lately but I was experimenting with different colour combinations. I hope you’ll enjoy these cards as well.

Here’s the first card…

The above card features a length of Braided Linen Trim (147808) which will be available from 5 September 2018. It’s lovely!

For the next card, I popped up the centre panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give a little extra dimension and interest.

Here’s the second card…

And for the final card I really just wanted to see how the Poppy Parade and Call Me Clover Stampin’ Blends looked together. They look fabulous! Would be great for Christmas too.

Here’s the card…

So here we are at the end. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to show you some of the other stamps. I just got completely carried aware with the beauty of the floral image.

If you are thinking about the Blended Seasons stamp set (or make it a bundle and combine it with the fabulous Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies for a 10% discount), or the Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2, please act now as they will be going today.

It’s also the last day of the Bonus Days promotion where every $90 AUD you spend on 1-31 August (before shipping and handling), you’ll receive a $9 AUD Bonus Days coupon code that can be used on 1-30 September 2018.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Blended Seasons Stampin' Blends

Blended Seasons Trio

by Kylie August 30, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, I have a trio of “similar but different” cards to share with you using the limited edition Blended Seasons stamp set. Anyone who has followed my site for any length of time knows that I love making these sorts of cards. I love both the design I am sharing (and yes, I do still have more to share with you) and playing around with different colour combinations. It’s one of my favourite things to do. Really maximises the use you can get out of one single stamp (let alone using the other stamps in the set). Plus, this design is perfect for those times when the inspiration seems hard to come by.

Here’s the first card…

I love the softness of the Pool Party against the brightness of the Granny Apple Green. It really pops. Oh, and I’ll let you in on a little secret. I had stamped the greeting in black memento on the base card but decided that it needed a little extra pop of colour. I embossed the sentiment and then popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I think it really gave the card an extra lift.

The next card is a simple one layer card and I think it is very pretty. I could have added another banner of colour and stamped the sentiment on it but I really like it as it is.

Here’s the card…

Today’s final card simply shows a different orientation and colouring combination. Isn’t it pretty?

Here’s the card…

These cards are so fun and so easy to make. I hope you’ll give it a try! I’d love to see what different colour combinations you come up with too.

There are only a few days left to get your own limited edition Blended Seasons stamp set (or make it a bundle and combine it with the fabulous Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies for a 10% discount). I’m so going to miss this set. I’ve barely scratched the surface with all the possibilities.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Blended Seasons Itty Bitty Greetings

Happy Birthday (Blended Seasons)

by Kylie August 28, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, today I am sharing a couple more cards using the limited edition Blended Seasons stamp set. I love how you can use the same stamps over and over, and in similar ways, and yet still create something quite different. Of course, you know I am using the floral image again – cannot get enough of it.

For both cards, I cut a small panel of cardstock upon which I stamped the floral image and then coloured the design with Stampin’ Blends. From here you can make the card as simple or as complex as you like.

My first card has lots of layers and textures (as well as a sneak peek at the Merry Christmas Thinlits which will be available from 5 September 2018).

Here’s the card…

For the second card, I tried to keep things a little more simple. You’ll notice I haven’t even used a greeting. You could always add one but I liked seeing the panel shine on its own.

Here’s the card…

Isn’t it great how the same panel can look quite different depending on how you assemble it on the card? Of course, throw in different colour combinations, some further embellishing and the design options are unlimited. So awesome!

Don’t forget you can get your own limited edition Blended Seasons stamp set (or make it a bundle and combine it with the fabulous Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies for a 10% discount) from now until the end of August 2018.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Blended Seasons Watercolor Pencils

More from the Blended Seasons bundle

by Kylie August 27, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, are you all loving the new limited edition Blended Seasons stamp set? And how gorgeous are those coordinating dies? The labels are wonderful with the stitched edges. I have created a lot of cards using this bundle – and I have only just started to scratch the surface. I’m so sad there are only a few days left to get it! That’s right, it leaves us forever at the end of August. So sad! Today’s card uses this set as well as the new Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2. At this stage, I cannot confirm whether or not the Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2 will be available in the future. Stampin’ Up! is keeping that pretty quiet for now. I sure hope they are!

Today’s card is actually a CASE of one of the samples provided by Stampin’ Up! I loved it so much I *had* to recreate it. (CASE means Copy And Share Everything. If you see a card you like, feel free to copy it but do give credit where credit is due especially if posting online).

I decided not to use watercolour paper for this card, instead choosing the gorgeous shimmery white cardstock. I inked up the floral image with Gray Granite ink and then stamped it off once on some scrap paper before stamping again on my cardstock panel. I wanted a really soft outline. I used the Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2 (and a couple of colours from the original Watercolour Pencils set) to colour in the image and then blended with an aqua painter (you could also use Blender Pens). Such a soft and pretty look.

To make the card base I took a sheet of Balmy Blue cardstock (one of the new colours in the range) and cut it to size. I positioned the die where I wanted it and ran it through the Big Shot. I can use the piece which was cut out for a future project. I stamped the leaves with the coordinating Balmy Blue ink. I love that tone on tone look. While my Big Shot was out I also cut out some leaves from Granny Apply Green cardstock (another of the new colours). The sentiment was stamped on some Whisper White cardstock and the Banner Triple Punch was the perfect tool to add a little more interest. Once all these pieces were cut and stamped, all that was left was to assemble the card. Let’s take a look.

Here’s the card…

I love stamp sets like this. They are just so fun and versatile! Don’t forget you can get your own limited edition Blended Seasons stamp set (or make it a bundle and combine it with the fabulous Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies for a 10% discount) from now until the end of August 2018.

Blended Seasons - Wishing You All The Best

Blended Seasons Stampin' Blends

Wishing You All The Best (Blended Seasons)

by Kylie August 4, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, what do you all think about the new limited edition Blended Seasons stamp set? Isn’t it fabulous! Don’t forget it is only available during August. I cannot put the floral image from this stamp set down. I’m loving all the different looks you can achieve with it. For the cards I am sharing today, I have once again CASEd some of my earlier cards. CASE means Copy And Share Everything. If you see a card you like, feel free to copy it but do give credit where credit is due especially if posting online.

For my first card, I stamped the sentiment where I wanted it and then randomly stamped the floral image around it. I used the gorgeous new Stampin’ Blends to colour the image. I decided that I wanted to soften the background so I used the new Balmy Blue Watercolour Pencils to add a wash of blue around the flowers. I layered the panel on a Highland Heather cardstock base.

Here’s the card…

You all know I can never stop with one of these designs! I just have to play around with different colour combinations and the like. So I have made a few more but I’ve switched up different elements. The next card was designed in the same way but I used the new Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends to colour the flowers. I *love* this colour. It’s gorgeous. I matted the completed panel onto Basic Black cardstock before finishing the card with some Rhinestones and Wink of Stella.

Here’s the card…

All Posts
I just *might* have a few more to share with you over the coming weeks. lol It’s true! I love stamp sets like this. They are just so fun! And you can create so many different cards with just the one image – and there are still so many other stamps in the set I haven’t touched yet. Talk about great value! You can get your own limited edition Blended Seasons stamp set (or make it a bundle and combine it with the fabulous Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies for a 10% discount) from now until the end of August, 2018.

Birthdays Blended Seasons Itty Bitty Greetings Stampin' Blends

Happy Birthday (Blended Seasons)

by Kylie August 3, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, the floral image in the new limited edition Blended Seasons stamp set is gorgeous and I’ve been crafting up a storm with it. As my mojo is still missing in action, I’m CASEing (Copy And Share Everything) some of my older card designs. I really encourage you to do this too whenever you are feeling a little less than inspired. So many of our card designs can be easily replicated using other stamps. I’ve also paired up the Blended Seasons stamp set with the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set. Gosh, this is a cute set, and so versatile as it covers so many different occasions. If you are just starting out, this could be a great set to have in your collection.

Here’s the card…

Whilst I love the softness of the Petal Pink and the Soft Sea Foam, I was curious as to how this same card design would look with much more vibrant colours such as Lovely Lipstick and Granny Apple Green. I wasn’t disappointed – it looks beautiful! I also finished both cards with a coating of Wink of Stella just to give the petals a little more sparkle.

Here’s the card…

So pretty!! If you wanted to step up this card a little more, you could add some rhinestones or enamel dots. You could even add some metallic thread under the popped up floral image.

Which colour combination do you like the most? What other colours in the range do you think might be great to try with the particular card design? I do hope you’ll give this card design a try. Don’t forget this stamp set is part of a bundle with a coordinating die set (10% discount anyone?!) as well and it is a Limited Edition release. Once it is gone….it is gone!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone, can you believe we are now in August?! I don’t know about you but, for me, this year has been passing by at such a fast rate. Thank you all for your support and patience while I have been moving house and then again when I had no internet. I am hopeful the internet issue has now been resolved and I can start sharing again.

This is another BIG month in the Stampin’ Up! world and I cannot wait to tell you all about it. This is going to be a big post so you might want to make sure you have a cuppa (and maybe a Tim Tam!) before you start to read. Any excuse to have a Tim Tam. 🙂

OnStage – Coming Soon

If you’ve been thinking about joining Stampin’ Up – whether as a hobby demo or to earn an income – there are a couple of awesome reasons to join this month.

It offers demonstrators the opportunity to catch up plus it also gives us a sneak peek at the new catalogues. There’s also the perk of a few little freebies. This November OnStage will be held in Melbourne and Brisbane. It’s Stampin’ Up!’s 30th anniversary so it is most likely going to be a BIG celebration. I’m planning to attend and I’d love you to join me!
