Beautiful Brusho Peacock and Bling

I really do enjoy using Brushos, so I thought I would mix them with one of the Sale-a-Bration favourites, Beautiful Peacock while the stamp set was still around.

I am really pleased with the result, although using Brusho on an unedited video may not be something I will rush to do again! If I were to make the card again, I would not bother stamping the Peacock before I did the background. 

The stamp set is great with all the options of how to build your favourite Peacock; no two will be alike. I think what makes this card is the addition of the rhinestones and the dots of colour over the tail.

Make it Up Monday Revisited - Brusho Inspired Masculine Card

It has been a while since I played with Brushos last, but it is time to get them out again for a Masculine Birthday Card. An artistic friend of mine has a birthday coming up, so Brusho and Crafting Forever seemed the ideal combination.

I love that you never quite know what you are going to get with Brushos and that you can use them in many different ways and with different mediums. For this project I used the classic watercolour card and water, but you can use a real variety of card and liquid, including shaving crean and spray starch!

To go with the masculine feel I used a Dapper Denim Cardbase, Basic Grey for the mat and a selectoin of neutral ribbons (full details are in the list of products below).

I am really pleased with the result, and hope the recipient will be too. It is quite scary making this type of project 'live' on camera, but I think I got away with it on this one!

Get the very best from Sale-a-Bration with Beautiful Peacock

Do you want to know how to get the best from Sale-a-Bration? If so you are in the right place. I am focusing many of my projects on exactly this over the next few months.

I am loving how many ways you can use the Beautiful Peacock stamp set and this time I have combined it with another favourite, Brushos. Watercolour paper and white embossing powder provide the perfect canvas to then show off the amazing firework display that Brushos give.

For full details of all the amazing offers available until the end of March take a look at my Current Offers Page; trust me it will be worth a visit.

The video will show you all you need to know in order to try the Emboss Resist Technique with your Brushos. It really is such fun, I can't get enough of it.

Get the most from Sale-a-Bration - Beautiful Peacock

Sale-a-Bration is the best time of the Stampin' Up! year, let me show you how.

There are three main offers, Shop, Join and Host, today I am concentrating on the 'Shop' element of the three. So what you need to know is that you can get FREE items with a very small qualifying order. For every £45 you spend (before P&P) you can pick an item from the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue; and there are lots of things to pick from. The only thing to be aware of this year is that there are two levels of FREE items. There is lots of information in the Current Offers Page.

Two of the items in the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue are available if your order is £90 or over, which means you have so much more choice.

I am concentrating on the Beautiful Peacock Stamp set for the next few projects as it just called to me in so many ways.

Today is a really simple 3x3 card using the little envelopes that have carried over from the Autumn Winter Catalogue (check out the Carried over list in my online store for all of the details). They are just so cute! Take a look at the video for all the details.
