Touches Of Ink – Holly Jolly Branches

Thanks for joining us for this month’s Touches of Ink Blog Hop. This is a fun hop – it focuses on suites and/or bundles. We don’t discuss what we are going to be using for the hop which means that everyone will use something different, or we might all decide that we want to use the same products!

I fell and cracked my knee cap a few weeks ago, so everything has been hard and I haven’t been very creative for the past little while. For today’s hop I decided that I would share a card that I made3 for my upcoming tutorial bundle. We are using the Holly Jolly Branches for this tutorial. This is one of my cards in this tutorial

The Whispering Woods DSP is a match made in heaven with this bundle. If you like this card and would like the tutorial bundle, click here for all the information about it.

Next up is Sharni Green. Hop over to see what bundle she has used for this hop.

Festive Friday #FF0217 – Butterfly Flight

Thanks for joining us for this Festive Friday challenge. Have you ever played along with Festive Friday? There is a new challenge every second Friday. The challenge has an overall theme plus an inspiration list. You choose at least three of the inspiration elements and make a project. Your project can be a card, 3D item, or scrapbook layout and can reflect the main theme or just use the inspiration elements and have nothing to do with the theme. This is the inspiration list for this fortnight:

We always have to play with new stuff, this time I used the Copper Foil Rolls, Tile Garden dies and Thinking Of You stamp set which will be available on the 1st September.

I used orange, copper, strength sentiment (sort of) and banner from the inspo list.

If you would like to join the challenge, visit the Festive Friday Challenge page to add your link.
Hop around and see how the others used these inspo items.

Holly Jolly Branches Tutorial Bundle

The Avid Crafting Collective is busy designing our next tutorial bundle. This is a Christmas theme bundle using Holly Jolly Branches which will be available on the 1st September. There are 9 projects in the tutorial – 6 standard cards and 3 fancy folds with video presentations. We will each do assembly presentations of all 9 projects on our own Facebook pages starting on the 5th October. No measurements will be given in these presentations – you will need the tutorial for the measurements. Once we have completed the presentations, video links will be added to the written tutorial.

We have a number of options for you to choose from for this tutorial:

1. The Ultimate Package: This comprises the Holly Jolly Branches bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies), the tutorial kit (all the card stock to complete the nine projects in the tutorial plus six 6 x 12″ pieces of the Whispering Woods DSP (there are only three double sided designs in this pack, so it is a full sheet of each design but cut in half for easier postage), a pack of the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Sequins, 1.5 metres of White Textured ribbon and envelopes for all the cards) and the PDF tutorial with full instructions and both metric and imperial measurements and assembly videos for the cards.) The cost for all of this (including postage) is $150.00. You will also receive $10 off your next order.

2. The Kit Package: This option gives you the tutorial kit (all the card stock to complete the nine projects in the tutorial plus six 6 x 12″ pieces of the Whispering Woods DSP (there are only three double sided designs in this pack, so it is a full sheet of each design but cut in half for easier postage), a pack of the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Sequins, 1.5 metres of White Textured ribbon and envelopes for all the cards) and the PDF tutorial with full instructions and both metric and imperial measurements and assembly videos for the cards.) The cost for all of this (including postage) is $90.00

The above two options are only available to Australian residents. If you love all the projects and would like to make more than one set of the cards, additional kits are available for purchase for the discounted price of $70.00.

3. The Virtual Package: If you live overseas or don’t want to purchase the products, you are also welcome to join us. This option gives you the PDF tutorial with full instructions and both metric and imperial measurements and assembly videos for the cards. The cost for this option is $35.00.

Click here to complete an online registration form. My last day for registering for one of the the kit options will be the 20th September. I will place my order on the 21st September to allow time for them to get to me, get cut and packaged and sent off for you so that you receive them before I start my daily presentations on the 5th October. I would suggest that you register ASAP to avoid disappointment if any of the products sell out.

These are the three cards that I have designed for this tutorial bundle

Save the date for the Creativity Abounds Home For Christmas Stamp Camp

The Creativity Abounds team have been very busy planning our next Stamp Camp. This is happening on the 24th – 25th October in an exclusive Facebook group.

Joining the Stamp Camp is easy. Click here to go to my online store to order your products. This will place the order for the the Home For Christmas bundle, Timeless Christmas DSP and Sticker Sheet, Adhesive-Backed Christmas Berries and White (1cm) Textured Ribbon. (Remember to add the Product Of The Month for only $9.00) You will receive the kit which contains all the card stock to make the 13 projects in the tutorial at no cost – all you pay is $10.95 postage.

You will also need general stamping consumables – ink, adhesives, stamping tools which aren’t included in the kit.
Once you have placed your order directly with Stampin’ Up! for the products, I will send an invoice for the postage on the kit. I will post the kit containing the card stock to make all the projects in the tutorial bundle and send an invitation to an exclusive Facebook group. The tutorial bundle (which will have video links included for all the projects) will be uploaded to the Facebook group for you to download.

At the event, we will each demonstrate a bonus project using the suite. You get 26 projects (13 in the tutorial and 13 bonus ones from the blog hop) with video instructions or Facebook live demonstrations and lifetime access to the event page. You can see all the bonus projects that we will be making at the event in the blog hop that goes live on the 17th September .

If you already own the products (perhaps you are a demonstrator who purchased them on pre-order), you can still join the Stamp Camp. Simply place an order with me for $151 (equivalent value) and let me know that you have done the substitution for the Stamp Camp.

I hope that you will join us. The ladies in this group are extremely talented, and the people who joined our previous Stamp Camps have LOVED them! Click here to order your suite of products. I’ll get you kit into the post closer to the date of the Stamp Camp.
Remember that you can only order the suite from the 1st September. Be sure to order early to avoid disappointment if anything sells out.

Please contact me if you have any queries about this Stamp Camp

Creativity Abounds Blog Hop – Butterfly Flight

Welcome to our Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire your creativity.

If you live in Australia and shop with me you will receive this tutorial bundle FREE! The tutorial has full instructions and metric and imperial measurements for 13 different cards. The tutorial bundle can be purchased for $25. Please email me if you would like to purchase the bundle.

Our blog hop each month is a project along the theme of the tutorial, but is a different design from the tutorial project. This month’s bundle is a fun fold bundle. My card in the tutorial uses the Balloon Festoon bundle.

My project for this blog hop is the same fun fold, but using the Butterfly Flight bundle to decorate the card. It looks pretty when the card is closed

The wow happens when you open the card

I hot foiled the butterflies onto Vellum and Basic White with the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls. I used the masks to colour the butterflies with Secret Sea and Peaceful Pine ink. I coloured on the reverse side of the vellum with the masks also flipped over.

Here is a sneak peek of all the projects in this month’s tutorial bundle.

Hop around and see the other folds in the tutorial bundle

Product Of The Month Blog Hop – Glow Of Harvest DSP with Butterfly Flight

Welcome to our Product Of The Month (POM) blog hop. If you haven’t heard of POM yet, this is what it is all about. Stampin’ Up! has started a new monthly promotion. Every month there will be a new product. To get your hands on the product, all you need to do is place an order. If your order is $125 (in Australia – the $ amount will differ depending on your market) then you can add the Product Of The Month to your order for only $9. We won’t know in advance what the POM will be. It could be a stamp set, embellishments, ribbon, dies or any other paper crafting product. No matter what it is, paying $9 is a bargain!

This month’s POM is a pack of DSP – Glow Of Harvest. The colours in this DSP are soft and pretty and the Very Vanilla background has a gorgeous shimmer. It is one sided, and is thicker than the double sided DSP. This will work really well with 3D projects. If you place an order with me and purchase the POM stamp set, I will send you a tutorial featuring projects using this stamp set. This is in addition to my usual thank you tutorial bundle.

The butterfly and leaves are from the Butterfly Flight bundle. I didn’t use the hot foil dies this time – I used the cutting dies and the masks. I have also added some sneak peeks from the new September – December catalogue. The embossing folder is called Softly Woven and the centre square is from a new set of dies called Tile Garden dies. These are amazing! The are the same as the Spotlight On Nature dies, but square.

Hop around and see what the others have done with this gorgeous paper.

Festive Friday #FF0216 – Fern & Flora

Thanks for joining us for this Festive Friday challenge. Have you ever played along with Festive Friday? There is a new challenge every second Friday. The challenge has an overall theme plus an inspiration list. You choose at least three of the inspiration elements and make a project. Your project can be a card, 3D item, or scrapbook layout and can reflect the main theme or just use the inspiration elements and have nothing to do with the theme. This is the inspiration list for this fortnight:

My plan was to use one of the new stamp set that is coming in the September – December catalogue, but when I had it in front of me, it wouldn’t work, so I had to pivot. This is the new vision:

The new Product Of The Month, Glow Of Harvest DSP was the perfect colour palate and I combined that with the Fern & Flora bundle. The inspo items in my card are neutral colours, texture (this is a sneak peek of a new embossing folder – Softly Woven that is coming in the next catalogue) and jungle leaves (ferns might be more rain forest bit I’m going with jungle!)

If you would like to join the challenge, visit the Festive Friday Challenge page to add your link.
Hop around and see how the others used these inspo items.

Touches Of Ink Blog Hop – Butterfly Flight

Thanks for joining us for this month’s Touches of Ink Blog Hop. This is a fun hop – it focuses on suites and/or bundles. We don’t discuss what we are going to be using for the hop which means that everyone will use something different, or we might all decide that we want to use the same products!

For today the bundle I have chosen is one of the Hot Foil bundles – Butterfly Flight.

This is a different bundle because it doesn’t have a stamp set in it. Instead it has a set of masks for colouring the butterflies. I LOVE colouring with masks, so this is perfect for me. You can either hot foil the outline of the butterflies and the add colour, or use the masks on their own. I did both!. I used Silver Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls on Vellum (which didn’t photograph very well) for the butterfly outlines which I die cut. I used the masks to colour the butterflies and the stuck the die cut vellum on top of them.
If you would like to see how I did this, join me for my Facebook live at 10:00 on Sunday morning.
