Stamp Art By Di

Cute......

This stamp is just toooo cute don't you agree. It's called kind koala and can be found in page 113 of our new annual catalogue. It's a wood stamp and is priced at only $16.95. Great value. Don't you just love him? Hi there and thank again for stopping to have a look at my blog. Isn't this set just adorable. Just love it. Again I've stamped using the memento ink on whisper white up this time I've coloured using our regular marks pens. Not as easy as Blendabilities, but it's worked ok. These markers work better on our watercolour paper. Colours I've used are Hello Honey, Rich Razzleberry and DSP from the Moonlight DS paper stack. Just very cute. All I've done is use some Crystal Effects on his nose.
Very quick post this time but I hope you like him. Until next time, take care. Di

Flower Patch

Cute name for a really cute stamp set......hi, and thanks for dropping by. I've tried to make an example of most of the new stamp sets I have so far (and I mean so far....) from our new annual catalogue. If you would like your own copy and don't yet have one, please let me know and I'll get one to you ASAP. Yet another set I love. First example is made using whisper white, Pear Pizzazz and Crisp Cantelope csrdstock. DSP is from the All Bloom designer series paper stack. These are a great idea. They can be found on page 185 of the catalogue, have many different designs and are a great size for card fronts...or anything else you like. They are priced at $11.95 for 48 sheets and come in 2 designs....Moonlight as well as the All Bloom. Great value! Blushing Bride, Crisp Cantelope and Pear Pizzazz ink is used. I've also used the matching Flower Flair framelits. Makes cutting out so easy. The Flower patch stamp set is another of our new sets but this time it comes in PHOTOPOLYMER. It's a perfectly clear stamp, adheres well to the clear stamp block and you can see EXACTLY where you are placing your stamp. You can purchase both stamp and framelits in a bundle at a special price of $74.75 a saving of 15%. They can be found on page 156 of the catalogue. Here it is......
This second card was all stamped on whisper white cardstock and here I've 2step stamped it so you can see just how effective this technique and this stamp set can be. Again cut out with the matching framelits. Matting is on Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake. Some bling and bakers twine compete the picture.
Again I hope you like...... Until next time, take care... Di

Work of Art

Hi again. I decided to change what I've been showing you this time and bring you some examples of the fantastically versatile Work of Art stamp set. It's in our new catalogue and available for $51.95 in wood or $37.95 in clear. It's on page 165. If you haven't got your own catalogue, let me know and I'll get one to you ASAP. I love, love, love this stamp set. It makes crafting just so easy. Here's some examples.......
This one I have cased form Sandi McIvor. I just LOVE it and thank you for,sharing Sandi. Hope you like it as much as I do. So effective, and so, so easy. Whisper white, Lost Lagoon and Blackberry Bliss are the colours used. Don't you love the new In Colours? I've also added the swirl for. everything Eleanor (again using Memento ink) and a punched butterfly and tiny flowers and bling, and it's done! So simple. All I have done is stamp off the images done in Blackberry Bliss and you have totally different shades of the one colour. Great idea. Next is done using Hello Honey and Tangello Twist ink. Another very, very simple but effective way to use the Work of Art stamp set. I've also used the World of Dreams stamp set.
Last, but not least is this one. All I've done is used lost lagoon ink on whisper white cardstock and added some of the beautiful new in colour stitched satin ribbon and Big News stamp set. I just stamped off the ink on the stamp and once again you have different shading of the one colour. Brilliant Stampin' Up!
Well, thank you again for dropping by and I hope I've given you some ideas for your own crafting. Hope to see you again soon. Take care. Di

More Blendabilities......

Hi again. Thanks for dropping by. As you already know, I just love our new Blendabilities. We have them available now in Old Olive, Coastsl Cabana, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Rich Razleberry, Pumpkin pie and Skin Tones. I just love them. They come in a pack of 3 shades - light, medium and dark and you know they are going to match your Stampin' Up cardstock, ink, DSP, ribbon and everything else in that colour perfectly. That's one of the best features Stampin' Up offer. Here's a couple more examples of what I have done playing with my Blendabilities.
I used the Cherry cobbler and Old Olive sets for this card together with the gorgeous Sweetbrisr Rose stamp set. Once again I have used the Memento black ink pad. Another thing you can do with the Blendabilities is actually colour your bling! This time I've used Daffodil delight to march the bling with the centre of the rose. Cool hey! Another one using Cherry Cobbler and old Olive is this one....using the gorgeous hostess stamp set called Bloom with Hope. This set could be yours if you would like to place and order, or hold a workshop and have sales of $300+. Sounds a lot, but very easy to do. All you have to do is invite some of your lovely friends over, have a cuppa ready and a clear, well lit area to work in. I'll do the rest.....let's know if you would be interested. Here it is......
Well, until next times hope you've liked what I've been able to show you. Thank you for dropping by. Take care, Di

Gorgeous Grandies!

He! Had to share the loves of my life with you! As two of our Grandchildren live interstate (soon to be overseas!) we don't have the pleasure of having the three of them with us very often. We had extra house guests recently and took the kids to our local Chocolaterie for a kids chocolate making class. They LOVED it. And they loved eating their creations too!! Here they are having fun......


A great time had by all. Mum and Dad and Granny and Grandpa enjoyed morning tea too!! Until we meet again, take care. Di

Blendabilities are here!.........

Well, hello there. It's been just so long since my last post I probably don't have many followers any more. For those of you,who keep,checking in, thank you. Robyn, don't die of shock because I am actually doing a blog post! I have had many family health issues to deal with this year and it's been very difficult times. When your elderly parents get sick it's just not fair! Dad is just out of hospital again and mum seems ok at the moment, so maybe things will be easier for a little while. Have you seen our new catalogue yet? What do you think of it? If you haven't got your own copy, let me know and I'll get one to you. I LOVE it. There are just so many wonderful products in it to make your crafting so much fun. I may have been silent here, and very quiet in my craft room, but I have still managed to make some things I hope you will enjoy. I will be showing them on several posts while I have the opportunity!
This is a card I sent to a very special friend who was unwell. I just LOVE our new Blendabilities. (As you will no doubt see). I've used whisper white cardstock and the Blended Bloom stamp set with Coastal Cabana Blendabilities for the flower. The middles has been coloured in regular Markers. Black ink is the Memento ink pad specially designed for the Blendabilities. For the card I've used Hello Honey cardstock and a sheet of DSP from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack. A bit of ribbon and bling and some special words, and there you have a gorgeous card that is very easy to do. I haven't ever done much 'colouring' but find these are so easy to use to get fantastic results. Hope you like it.. Another card I have made using the same Blended Bloom stamp set is this one.
This time I've used Old Olive ink on whisper white cardstock. I've also used the Kinda Electic stamp set. I've layered the flower this time. Love this effect too. Hope these give you some ideas and inspiration to have a go with our new products, particularly our Blendabilities. If you would like to know more about them please don't hesitate to contact me. Until my next post, take care Di
