You're So Sweet Gift Bag Made With The New Stampin' Up! Gift Bag Punch Board

I love to find excuses, whoops I mean occasions to give little gifts and to make those little gift look extra special so I am excited about the possibilities the New Gift Bag Punch Board brings.  

The Gift Bag Punch Board allows you to make a variety of different sized gift bags that are ideal for little treats.  You can use card stock, or as I have for this bag Patterned Paper.

The Punch Board even allows you to make holes for the handle - here I have used some Pool Party Ribbon.

This adorable Gold Floral Paper is from the beautiful new Neutrals Paper Stack which will be available on 2 June at my on line store.

The 'Just For You' is from a Stamp Set designed with gift giving in mind called You're So Sweet. I also used the new Triple Banner Punch - I have a home for it with my other punches but so far it seems to be living on my desk - you are going to love it!

The new Catalogue is almost here now - not long to wait!  It also means you are almost out of time to shop the Retiring List and the Spring Summer Catalogue - they end 2 June.  So get your purse ready for 2 June as you will be able to shop all the catalogues and beat any price increases!

Love London Scrapbook Page Featuring New Bohemian Papers from Stampin' Up! UK

I love how London is full of hidden jems and beautiful things if you just take a moment to explore and look around and today's Scrapbook Page is all about some such hidden jems I spotted at London's South Bank last year.

The beautiful papers are from a new collection called Bohemian - and I am in love with them.  It did take me a while to get past the just looking and stroking stage with these ones but as ever Stampin' Up! help us with that and each pack has two identical double sided sheets - one for cutting and one for stroking and looking at until you are ready!  These sheets were cut and then punched using the new Triple Banner Punch.  The stamp are all available now.

Theses papers are one of the many many jems you will find in the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue and it is just 3 days away ... I can't wait to share!

How To Colour On Stampin' Up! Shimmery Card - A Video Tutorial

I may have mentioned that I am becoming a bit obsessed with the flower in the new You've Got This Stamp Set.  

For this week's Find Out About Friday I thought I would show you how to Watercolour the flower on the lovely Shimmery White Card.  Let's start by showing you a finished card made using this technique.

And this is how it is done

And a closer look at the finished colouring.

This stamp set and the colours used on this project will be available in just 4 days time - the 2 June!

You've Got This Stylish Birthday Card - Day 5 Of Our Countdown To The New Stampin' Up! Catalogue

I think I may be becoming a bit obsessed with the stunning flower in the You've Got This Stamp Set - and to think I almost did not order it as I was not sure what I would be able to do with it!  A couple of crafting sessions and a dozen cards later that feels so ridiculous.  

I love the sentiments in the stamp set as they are so positive but today's card is a Birthday Card and I could not resist pairing the beautiful flower with the gorgeous Happy Birthday from another new Stamp Set Happy Birthday Everyone.  The flowers and greeting were embossed with Gold Embossing Powder and it looked so pretty I decided just to mount it onto a Mint Macaron Layer and a Tip Top Tupe Base.  

A Bitty Butterfly punched from the Fancy Foil Gold Vellum and coloured with Mint Macaron finishes the card.

I can't wait to share the whole Catalogue with you - not long to wait now and if you want to make sure you get the absolute best value for money when you start to shop from it please get in touch - I can help you do that - just email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk

Layered Letters Thank You Cards - Day 7 of Our Countdown To The New Stampin' Up! Catalogue

I love alphabet stamp sets but sometimes find them a bit hard to use in card making, but I don't think this will be the case with the new Layered Letters Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

As well as these friendly letters this stamp set comes with punctuation marks and two wonderful backgrounds for each letter.  Here I have used the letters over backgrounds created with the gorgeous background stamp in the You've Got This Stamp Set.  The colours are also new - Mint Macaron and Delightful Dijon.

Each one is subtley different depending on how the inks came out on the background stamp.

I made a big batch of these cards to send to the lovely people who ordered from me recently.  I really do appreciate them choosing me and love to send them a little happy mail!  My on line shop can be found here and the products I have shown you today will be available in one week's time - can't wait!

You've Got This - Day 8 of our Countdown to the New Stampin' Up! UK Catalogue

So today is day 8 of our countdown to the New Stampin' Up! Catalogue - that means there are just 8 days left to shop from the retiring lists and from the Spring Summer Catalogue and just 8 days to wait until I can show you the complete New Stampin' Up! Catalogue.  You are going to love it!  

While we wait I am going to share another sneak peek with you.

This gorgeous flower and these lovely sentiments are from a new stamp set called You've Got This.

I have embossed the flower with Clear Embossing Powder on Watercolour Paper to give this pretty hand painted effect.

The flowers were coloured using an Aqua Painter and Old Olive and Melon Mambo Inks.  They were then outlined with some Soft Sky to add a little definition and depth.

I am loving this stamp set and I know you are going to be seeing a lot more of it round here!  In the mean time don't forget to place those last orders before it's too late! Just click here to shop now.
