Lilypad Lake Bundle - Sunset Crane. Another amazing Project using this fantastic new Bundle (save 10%) coming soon to my online store. So calm, but I think so different from the Sailing picture I showed on Sunday.
I was inspired to recreate this project originally made by fellow Demonstrator, Jenny Hall. Jenny is based in the US and is a truly inspirational crafter; please take some time to visit her WEBSITE. I had not thought of using the sponge brayer on Glossy Cardstock before seeing this project, but it is a great effect. Jenny also reminded me that the original idea behind Versamark ink was as a Watermark ink; combine brayer and watermark to get this fantastic result.
I am in a bit of a Home Decor run at the moment because I have been running a stall at local Events and find that boxframe pictures are very popular. Mostly I use frames from IKEA, although this one was found ages ago at a local store. I really enjoy using these as it gives you the option of using 3D elements.
Don't forget that you are still able to order the Early Release Bundles until the end of May (click on the image above to see the details). There are three Bundles using products from the Share What You Love Suite, but there is also the opportunity to get our hands on the new In Colour Ink Pads as a Bundle (saving 10%).

Sunshine over The Waterfront - Inspire.Create.Challenges #018. Yes it is time for another Challenge over at Inspire.Create.Challenges, and it is a theme Challenge of Sunshine.
I fell for the Waterfront stamp set as soon as I saw it in the Spring/Summer Catalogue and am thrilled that it is carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue, it is such a great set and is perfect for the whole year. Obviously today's project focusses on Sunshine, so I have a desert island with beach huts and the sun shining down. I have made the project into a picture, rather than a card, because, let's face it, that is pretty much what a picture is; an image in a frame.
It would be great to see lots of entries in the challenge this time round, it is perfect for everyone. Obviously it would be great if you happen to want to use Stampin' Up! products, but there is no need to limit yourself, you can use any products you like, so click on the image above and take a look at the inspiration the other Design Team members have come up with (I have had a sneak peek of all the projects; they are fantastic.) To see how I made my project, just click on the YouTube link below. Oh, and I used some of the new In Colours, which are available to buy now!!!

Floral Statements - Hello Again. It seems a while since I last used this stamp set, but it has carried over to the new Annual Catalogue, so I had to break it out again and remind us all of just how fantastic it is.
I have changed it up a bit this time by stamping the 'Hello' on Glossy White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black (I used the Stamparatus, stamp positioning tool from Stampin' Up! - it is like the Misti, but better). By using the Stamparatus I was able to make sure that I got a really black image. Once it was really dry I coloured it using Stampin' Blends.
It is worth remembering that the Glossy Cardstock does not give you quite so much time to move the ink from the pens, so if you are going to try this, and I encourage you to do so, you may want to colour each flower/petal separately so the ink is still 'damp' when you add the next colour. In the video, for speed, I used each colour and then went back with the next - certainly quicker, but not such a perfect finish.
