AROUND THE BEND FOR THE 2023 MINI CATALOGUE GLOBAL LAUNCH PARTY!

It’s all happening now with the 2023 Mini Catalogue going Live. Have you checked it out yet??

I mentioned I was involved with the Global Catalogue Launch Party with Demonstrators from around the world. It’s such an exciting time to share with you.

Let me show you the the card I made.

For my project I shared a card with the Around the Bend Bundle and the gorgeous Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper.

I love the detail in these curvy dies. It creates such a cool edge. And there are some other great curvy dies as well.

Here is the inside of the card. Don’t forget that.

Want to catch the YouTube video to follow along? Check it out below.

If you haven’t joined in with the Global Launch Party you can still catch the replays.

Head to the Facebook group -> HERE.

There are lots of presentations. So many to inspire you so I hope you follow along.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

FITTING FLORETS PANEL FOLD CARD + VIDEO!

You have probably seen the Fitting Florets Suite around now. It is all so gorgeous. I had to play with it. And I pulled out an old fold that I haven’t done in a while – A Panel Fold Card.

Here it is for you.

And it folds flat for you to post.

You can catch how to create one on the video below. (If you are receiving this blog update by email and the video is not showing, head to the blog post and view it there).

The Fitting Florets Suite will be available to order in November. The Framed Florets Bundle (Stamps and Dies) will be carried over in to the January-June Mini Catalogue but the gorgeous Fitting Florets paper and the Gold Swirl Gems won’t be so you will want to grab that early. I will tell you more about this soon.

But … You could get this earlier. As Demonstrators we can order it now. And if you have considered joining Stampin’ Up! what better way than joining now (also with the extra bonus you get this month) AND you can order it now. Because we can’t wait for these things right. ๐Ÿ™‚

Here are the measurements.

WATERCOLOURING WITH PAINTED POPPIES + VIDEO!

Did you know it’s World Watercolouring Month?? A month of celebrating and sharing all things watercolouring.

I’m no expert at watercolouring. But I have picked up some tips along the way. And practice makes perfect right. ๐Ÿ™‚

There are lots of different ways to watercolour and different mediums to use. I shared a video recently on using Watercolor Pencils. In today’s video I’m using the Ink Pads and Water Painters to create a watercolour wash and more detailed watercolouring.

I pulled out the Painted Poppies Stamp Set. I haven’t used this in a while.

Check out the video below.

This card was inspired by one in the current Annual Catalogue on Page 29.

I hope you pull out your inkpads and Painters and get watercolouring.

Have a great day,

Jenny
