Wild About Flowers With Background Block Stamping - Pair

Hello everyone! I'm sharing with you today a couple of cards that I made using the "Wild About Flowers" stamp set and using the Watercolour Background using a Clear Block and Stampin' Write Markers. At the end of this post there is a Stampin' Up! Video showing you how to use this easy technique.

Since soon we will be loosing the beautiful 2014 to 2016 In-Colours (Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, & Tangelo Twist), I wanted to use those colours for these cards. It's always hard to say 'good-bye' to the In-Colours when they are retired. If you love these colours, you may want to consider acquiring product with these colours to stock up a little.

I did not pop up any layers on these cards at all, but here is what I did on the inside of the cards. On the inside, I usually like to off-stamp or second-stamp as some call it.

So if you are wanting to experiment with this technique, this quick tutorial video will show you how to do it.

Have fun with this technique, and experiment with different sizes of clear blocks, too.

Lotus Blossom, Bow Builder & Project Life!

Good Day Everyone!

Today is my Open House, so I'll be away all day, and busy.

Yesterday I mentioned that I would be showcasing some of the new Stampin' Up videos. Now some of you may have enjoyed yesterday's so much that you went to YouTube to watch more of them. That's what I would have done, lol! But for those of you that didn't do that I'm going to share two today that are about items that I actually have and have used!

Lets begin with a technique video showcasing the beautiful new "Lotus" 3 step stamp set.

To see what I did with my "Lotus" stamp set, see it here.

Now lets have a look at another product video with a construction tip it for you. It is about the "Bow Builder' Punch! I love this punch and you have already seen that I have used it here just a few days ago.

And one more for today. This one is a "Project Life" video using the Sale-a-bration free "This Day" mini-set. She shows you how to use it basically and different stepped up versions! A great video.

I look forward to working with some of these products too!

Wait till you see the ones I post tomorrow! Lots of fantastic tips and ideas to learn form some of these videos. Tomorrow's are no exception!

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Stamping & Crafting!

Build A Bouquet Video by Stampin' Up

Happy Day to you all!

As you know I am currently busy getting ready for my Open House.

So I thought I would schedule some new Stampin' Up Videos for you. They will showcase some of the new products and some techniques too. Today I chose to include for your pleasure the video on how to make that gorgeous paper flower bouquet on the front cover of the Occasions Catalogue. Yes you can purchase the kit (page 29) to make it and build this gorgeous bouquet!

And this video is on the Perpetual Calendar Kit (page 17), which I have but haven't made yet. This would be a fun workshop in your home!

 I'd love to teach this as a class or at a workshop and see all the creative ideas everyone has as they put their calendar together! So if you live in Victoria, BC and would love to host a workshop to create this with your friends, and earn some wonderful free Sale-a-bration items, just email me at sabradcreations@gmail.com.

That's it for today. I'll have a couple more videos for you to watch tomorrow, so checking again.

Happy Stamping & Crafting!
