New In Colour samples and some more brand new items!

The new 2018-2020 In Colours 
Such fun colours aren't they? I made some sample cards inspired by Kelly Kent for my Catalogue Launch party to showcase the bright new in colours.

There are some new products on there - can you spot them all? 

1. Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper (comes in 6x6) 
2. Springtime Impressions Thinlits
3. Abstract Impressions stamp set (for the sentiment) Isn't that just a beautiful sentiment? 









These cards we quick to put together as there is minimal stamping and a few big shot die elements. I used the leaf punch for the greenery. So much colour, I love it! I am really loving the colour revamp - there are so many beautiful colours to play with and they have been really well thought out to compliment all the other colours we have. I love looking at all my colours stacked in my cupboard - such a happy rainbow!

Which one is your favourite? Can you choose just one?

Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape

There are two brand new colours coming in the new catalogue which I couldn't be more excited about - 2 lovely new purples!! I have been waiting for some beautiful shades of purples for a few years now!

Let me introduce to you - Gorgeous Grape (left) and Highland Heather (right). Just beautiful aren't they? 

I am still in full swing creating samples for my open day (Sunday 17th June, you are more than welcome to come if you live locally!). This year it's all about the colour refresh so I am keeping my cards simple to highlight the beautiful colours.  It's very hard to see but I have used Shimmery White cardstock for the die cut flower panel which gives off a subtle shine. 



I spy a new thinlit die on this card and some new sentiments. How exciting! 
1. Abstract Impressions stamp set
2. Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies
3. Varied Vases stamp set

New inkpad design and video

Have you noticed the new inkpad style? I must say I am loving the changes. It is a slightly different mechanism to open the pads - think opening a compact but I think this makes it so much better.

Stampin' Up! have released a quick video showing us how they work.

ESAD 2018 Annual Catalogue Launch Blog Hop


 Welcome to the ESAD 2018 Annual Catalogue Launch Blog Hop! What is ESAD you ask? 



I was asked to join in with an online blog hop to showcase all the exciting new products that have just been released in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue.   

The hardest bit for me was choosing which new product to showcase! 

I decided on Nature's Poem Suite. I love the bold colours and the miriard of images and words.  But I also love that it can be subtle and pastel too. Colours for every season!




I was drawn to this the sentiment - be strong, be happy, be you and wanted to showcase that. And I knew I wanted bold colours so I used the Nature's Poem designer series paper to guide me to blackberry bliss and grapefruit grove. I think they look really striking together. 

The panels are the Nature's Poem designer series paper cut into even stips and layered onto the card base. I then added a strip of the grapefruit grove cardstock. The leaves are embossed and cut using the coordinating  Nature's Roots framelits. I used the leaf punch for the vellum leaf to add a bit of interest. The sentiment was stamped twice in blackberry bliss and grapefruit grove and I cut out the 'be happy' and glued it on top of the other image, You could also do this with your marker pens to create the same effect. A touch of silver glimmer paper and some clear faceted gems and my card was complete.    


Here is a close up of the layers of leaves. 


Adding two colours to the sentiment adds a bit of interest and ties the colours together. 

I hope you are enjoying the blog hop and that you click through to see the rest of the amazing creations.
