Good day everyone! Welcome to another fun Friday with the TGIF Challenge group! For those who may be new here, my name is Carolynn Sander & I am a Canadian Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator from Calgary, Alberta. Have you oogled over the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue yet??? If you haven't, you better get to it! It was just released yesterday & it is packed with many marvelous products. I will have a link to the digital copy at the end of this post so that you can check it out! As well, if you are in Canada, just leave me a comment or send me a message. I can then help you get your hands on a paper copy! Real life pages are so much more fun to flip through!
What do you think of the funky shades that are part of today's TGIF colour palate? To be honest, I would never have thought to put them together! That's why these challenges are so much fun! As a memeber of the TGIF team my creativity continues to wander in all sorts of directions and I love it!
My card today showcases a couple of new products. Those being the Ribbon Of Courage stamp set, and the new Glossy Cardstock! Glossy Cardstock was a product that Stampin' Up! used to sell, but it was discontinued for a few years. I am so excited to have it back as there is such a variety of ways in which you can use it, & it always makes for a stunning card! The technique I have shown on today's card is called Alcohol Ink Blending. It was contrived by Maria Willis over at Cardbomb (thank you Maria). Maria posted a video tutorial showing how she came up with the technique & I am thrilled to share it with you as it is super cool! Check it out below!
I was so excited to try this, and given today's colour combo I thought why not? I'm delighted with how it turned out! I would love to see what you come up with using these fab colours! Make sure to join in the fun with us over at TGIF this week! The designers have a wide array of fabulous projects that will make your creativity spiral out of control!
Before you leave today, here is that new catty I was talking about earlier!
Any questions just let me know! Hope you have a fun filled weekend! & Happy the day after the new catty has been released day!
Hi everyone! I am so happy to have you here with me today! If you are new to my blog, my name is Carolynn Sander. I am a Canadian Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator from Calgary, Alberta. I have exciting news to share with you all! Stampin' Up! has just released the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue! As well, the Creating Kindness Design Team is launching our 1st around the world blog hop today. What is the Creating Kindness Design Team you ask? We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the globe who have come together to inspire you to create kindness through cardmaking and papercrafts. In addition to the blog hop today, there is also a video hop component! Make sure to visit my YouTube channel (link posted below). Within the YouTube video description there will be a list of video links that one can click through in order to see all of the videos that are part of today's papercrafting adventure! I hope you enjoy today's hop, as well as all of the fun new products that Stampin' Up! has released with the new catty!
So let's get to it! The card that I created for today's hop showcases an amazing stamp set from the new catty entitled "Ribbon Of Courage". This stamp set is extraordinary! In fact, the stamp set itself was designed by Patty Bennett. Patty is an American Stampin' Up! demonstrator who was the 9th demonstrator in the history of Stampin' Up! to achieve 1 million dollars in sales! Way to go Patty! As recognition for her achievement, she teamed up with Stampin' Up! to create this wonderfully meaningful stamp set! Thanks Patty! Here's my first creation with this set! I'm sure I will be inking up this one many times over!
I decided to use the stained glass technique on today's card. If you are a regular visitor to my blog, you may remember this pretty gem that I shared a couple of weeks back. It also flaunts the stained glass look.
I seriously love the look you get with this technique, and it is so simple! Check out the video tutorial I created for today! It goes through how you can replicate this look with ease!
