hi there, I am having my launch for the 2017 Occasions catalogue tomorrow and I have been busy making cards. It will be no surprise that most of them have something coloured on using the new Waterclour pencils that are in the catalogue. I do love to colour on my stamping projects and having pencils in Stampin' Up! colours really makes it so much easier. I still use ink when needing a colour not in the set. I also mix my own colours using the pencils.  My first project is a 3D item and matching card. I love this little box made with the Window Box thinlits die. The stamp set is Moon Baby ..read more

Hello and welcome to my stop on today's blog hop.  As soon as I saw the chickens in the Sale-a-bration set Hey Chick I knew I had to have it. I was raised on a farm and we always had chooks and I had my own Silky hens which had feathers tops of their heads. Anyway back to now... I coloured the hens with the new watercolour pencils. In the second card I mixed my own purple using the red and blue pencils. They are so easy to mix. With my next 2 cards I have paired the greeting set Suite Sentiments with Stylish Stems framelits dies. I love the fact that you can cut out just the ..read more

Hello and welcome to my blog If you are on the hop you would have come from Rebecca's lovely page. I liked most of the sets in this holiday catalogue but I think Santa's Sleigh gets my pick for favourite.  There were so many different Z fold cards made with this set on Pinterest and mine is probably much the same as a few put together. I made the background panels by sponging with Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Night of Navy and then flicking water on to give the snowy effect. I used window sheets for the panel and stamped the reindeer with Soft Suede on Crumb Cake. The trees are Garden Gre ..read more
