Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop - June 



Thanks for stopping by!  Today I'm participating in Kylie's Demonstrator Blog Hop with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Using the links at the bottom of my blog, you'll be able to "hop around the world" and check out the amazing projects created by these very talented demonstrators.  You are currently visiting Melva Peters from Ladysmith on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.  Please take some time to check out all of the blogs on the list below! 

If you've been following my blog, you'll be noticing a trend.  I'm in love with Terracotta Tile and Pretty Peacock - two of the new In Colours that Stampin' Up! released in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue!  I love these two colours and in particular this combination of colours together!  Aren't they pretty!



My card today features these two colours as well as the Floral Essence Suite.

Instructions

  1. Fold Pretty Peacock card stock (5 1/2" x 8 1/2") in half to form card base.
  2. Stamp flower and leaf images on a piece of Whisper White card stock (4" x 2 1/2").  I stamped on flower image full strength using Terracotta Tile ink and then stamped a second image without re-inking the stamp.  Cut out using the 3 1/4" x 1 3/4" Stitched Nested Die.
  3. Cut out a piece of Pink Vellum using the 2 1/16" x 2 13/16" Stitched Nested Die.
  4. Stamp 2 leave images using Pretty Peacock ink.  Punch out using Leaf Punch.
  5. Stamp sentiment on a 1 1/2" x 2" piece of Whisper White card stock using Pretty Peacock in. Cut points on both ends.
  6. Emboss a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Terracotta Tile card stock
  7. Wrap a 5" piece of Petal Pink ribbon around the embossed card stock and adhere with Snail.
  8. Adhere to card base using Snail.
  9. Adhere Vellum piece using Snail.
  10. Adhere leaf images to the stamped flower piece using Snail
  11. Adhere on top of the Vellum piece using Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up Annual Catalogue

The new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue is here!  I'm so excited to share it with you.  I love everything about this catalogue and I know you will too!  I'm sure I've said this before about previous catalogues :)

You can check out the catalogue online by clicking here.

There are five new in colours in the new catalogue.  We've said good-bye to 5 from the past two years, but now we have 5 new yummy colours to enjoy.  I've already been playing with the In Colours and I think one of my favourite combinations is Terracotta Tile and Pretty Peacock!


Unfortunately Purple Posy isn't available as an inked at this point in time due to a quality issue but you can still order the cardstock, ribbon and Stampin' Blends.  Once the issue is fixed, it will be available to be ordered.

You'll see some changes with the format of the new catalogue.  

  • You can buy everything in any of the Product Suites using a single item code - I know I loved everything in the Bird Ballad Suite and Come Sail Away Suite so those codes came in handy!
  • All of the bundles which save you 10% are list at the beginning of the catalogue
  • Throughout the catalogue you will find references to other page numbers where you can find more information (or a bigger picture) about a product.
Check out some of the amazing new products.

Bird Ballad - did I tell you this is my favourite bundle?

The oh so pretty Magnolia Lane bundle


Just a few things to tickle your fancy!  If you've been following my Blog or Instagram Posts, you'll have seen some of the cards I've created so far with the new products.  Stay tuned for more in the upcoming weeks and months.

If you have purchased at least $50 from me in the past year, you should have received your catalogue in the mail.  If you do not have a Demonstrator and you live in Canada, please email email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com to request a catalogue.

Starting shopping now using my Online Store.
