New Parcels and Petals Stamp set with a Fun Watercolor technique

Hi Everyone!
Today I want to share a new stamp set! I have to make some cards for a Card Swap I participate in and we need to use new items from the upcoming Annual Catalog, starting June 4th! I am making several different cards and then I will pick one to be the swap card.  This one uses the new Parcels and Petals stamp set, and a die from the bundled Perfect Parcel die set.
I used a new color too! Terracotta Tile. 



I used a technique I called Blurred Watercolor as the focal point of this card.  I thought the stamp set lended itself nicely to this style of floral stamp with the spatter background.
I made a video to show how to get this look.
The die collection that goes with this set is really fun and has a lot of nice dies for your sentiments as well as some accent dies and a tag topper. But the main die is the box die. I think it looks like a box from a chocolate shop, imagine filling it with some nice truffles.   I show the box and dies more closely in the video.  Below shows a photo of the boxes.  I will make a how to for the box and a later date.
This bundle will be available in the new catalog that goes live on June 4th.  If you are a previous customer of mine you will get a catalog soon! I have ordered them to be mailed to my out of town customers staring next week, and local customers can get theirs at my next event. 
Start making your wish list, I will have a nice BOGO (buy one get one) event when the new catalog goes live. Purchase from the new catalog and get to choose some things from my retired selection for free! I will have details in June.
I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!  Check back for more new items in the coming days and weeks.

It's a 'Beautiful Day' with Brusho

Hi Everyone! Today I am playing with Brusho Crystal Colour! This is such a fun product. It gives a different look every time and can be used in many ways.  Today I am using it with the Beautiful Day stamp set.









For this card I used the Sheet Music background stamp first, stamped in Archival ink to withstand the water.  Then I stamped the butterflies.
Next I shook some Brusho onto the butterfly and spritzed with my Stampin' Spritzer. For this sample I then used my Aqua Painter to push the color around to fill in the wings.  On other samples further down I just let the color stay were it landed and left it, for a different look.












Here is a video showing you step by step how to make this card.

Avant Garden ~ A card all about Sale-a-Bration

Hi Everyone!  Today's card is all about Sale-a-Bration!  Are you aware of Sale-a-Bration?  Sale-a-Bration is an annual promotion from Stampin' Up! where you get to choose a FREE product from an exclusive Sale-a-Bration catalog for every $50 you spend.  This sale lasts for 3 months, so you have time to spread out your purchases or make one big one to maximize your host rewards.  


I used THREE of the Sale-a-Bration products on this card.  I used the Avant Garden stamp set, the Delicate Details stamp set, and the Metallic Ribbon combo pack.
I stamped onto Shimmery White cardstock so that the paper would hold up to being wetted down.  This enabled me to get a blurry watercolor look.






















 Here is another version using the reverse side of the paper and Calypso Coral.
