ESAD Australasian Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop

How exciting a new Holiday Catalogue to play in - with so many Christmas card and gift ideas to fall in love with! This hop is huge with 32 participants - I'm not surprised its a great, amazing and inspiring 56 pages!

I love the Stampin' Up Kits - they make creating quick and easy with a guaranteed great result - this Christmas is no exception! If you popped by a few weeks ago you would have seen the Be Merry Rosette Ornament kit - NO? well you can see them HERE.

The Watercolor Christmas Project Kit

The cards in this kit take only minutes to assemble, thanks to preprinted elements that look like you watercoloured them by hand. Coordinates with the Watercolor Christmas Stamp Set (sold separately).

Creating Tips - Stamp everything first before you pull the pieces apart to make it easier. I also used my Stamp-A-M-Jig for perfect placement.

Kit includes:
* 20 card bases, 5 each of 4 designs, folded card size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" (10.8 x 14 cm)
* Envelopes with gold foil liners
* Cardstock
*Printed die-cut accents and backgrounds
* Gold Mini Sequin Trim

The Coordinating colours: Basic Black, Calypso Coral, Emerald Envy, Pool Party, Real Red

This is a great kit to get together with friends to make. Or ask you Demonstrator to run it as a class project. Additional items you will need are the Watercolor Christmas Stamp set, Black ink (I like Memento), Fast Fuse, Dimensionals and the Fine Tip Glue pen.

Global Stamping Friends - Colour Challenge Blog Hop

Well we meet aging with this our 13th hop together and the projects just keep getting better - this months hop is a challenge and boy has it been a challenge for me as my favourite colours are Autumn (Fall) warm tones so although my table is covered in bits and bobs now of discarded for this project pieces - here is my greeting card. I will be getting back to those 'spare extra' bits later as some are just divine.
The Colours; Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Pool Party, Night of Navy.

Did you see the card I shared the day HERE it was the same technique and Dawns video is linked to that post with instructions.

So what do you think? I added the ribbon but gathered it as I went for a bit of extra texture. The sentiment is from Ribbon of Courage it is coloured with coordinating markers and I added some of the thin silver thread for another textural element.

Thank you for joining me today - please come back regularly - this week alone is a busy blog week with a wonderful new catalogue to share and Christmas just months away. Please pop over - or should I write hop over to visit Stephanie in the US to see what she came up with using this colour combo.

Inksomniacs 2017 Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop - Watercolor Christmas

Welcome to the first Inksomniacs Team Blog Hop. We are part of an Australian Stampin' Up! Team and decided to get together to show you some goodies from the new Seasonal Catalogue released today. Being in Australia you get to purchase these goodies first because of our time zones - yay!

If you have joined me for other hops you know I know that you may be starting here or somewhere else in the hop so please continue to have a look at what the other ladies have to share.

I am a big fan of the Stampin' Up! kits - they make it very easy to have great results when creating. The Watercolor Christmas Project Kit is featured on page 33 of the Australian Seasonal Catalogue, I am yet to play with the kit but I have used the coordinating stamp set to create these goodies to show you.

I have teamed it up with the great Be Merry DSP from the Annual Catalogue and used the colours Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green as per the DSP.
I used versamark and Clear Emboss with the sentiment to make it shiny. If you would like to see how I did this you can pop over to THIS POST.

I was on a bit of a roll so thought these would make a lovely gift for a teacher or friend. We have Acetate gift boxes in the Seasonal Catalogue as well - they hold 5 cards and envelopes. so I made a set of 5 others - I left the Rhinestones off those but they still look smick - popped them into one of the acetate gift boxes and tied with a ribbon. There is even a matching Tag I made to go on it.

I got all 6 cards out of one piece of DSP making that very economical.

Thank you for joining me this time - I would love it if you pop on over to see what Melinda has to share with us.
