#TGIFC170 - Repeat After Me Challenge!

Hi everyone! 
I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend and were able to get a lot of creating done! 

We had a very adulting weekend lol! We bought a new dryer that matches the new washer we got a week ago and was delivered on Saturday morning. And then in the afternoon, my husband had to borrow a pick up truck from a friend and then went to pick up the flooring we had bought which we will start to install when my parents arrive in August. We are on fast track to leave our condo and get in to our house next year! 

Today, I am doing something I have not done before! I am taking part in a challenge! I follow the TGIF Challenge blog and when I saw the challenge for this week, I knew I wanted to take part!


I knew I wanted to use the brand new In Colour Embossing Powders on the card. I then went through my current stamp sets and settled on one I haven't created with for a while. The result turned out to be this card (which was not my first attempt!):



I keep checking back on the blog to see what everyone has been creating for this challenge and I am loving them all!

That is all I have for today!

Talk soon,
Fallon

Hanging Garden Stamp Set

Happy Friday everyone!!
It has been a long week trying to get back into our routine and thankfully it is finally the weekend! And now it is going to be a busy weekend as we just purchased a new dryer which is being delivered sometime on Saturday; we also have to pick up all the flooring we just purchased the other night because our SUV cannot handle the weight so we have to borrow a friends truck.

I am going to keep today's post short and sweet! I have had this stamp set for a while now and finally just pulled it out to play with it. So much colouring! I used the Stampin' Write Markers to colour in the baskets.


I don't have all of the available colours in these markers so I just worked with what I have and I do love how they turned out! I did realize that I need more green markers, I had to use a Stampin' Blend marker to help out with the succulent basket.


These cards are so simple to create and the stamp set comes with a variety of sentiments, perfect for any occasion.

Remember to check out the Promotions page to see all the current specials happening right now!

Starting Aug 1, you will be able to purchase these products!

Only a few more days to take advantage of this one!

This is probably the BEST promotion that Stampin' Up! has ever done!

You have until Aug 10 to sign up!

That's all for today!

Talk soon,

Colour Your Season and So Many Promotions!!

Hi everyone! 
I am back from our first family vacation to Cuba! It definitely had its ups and downs but we still had fun! It was hard adjusting to the weather because it is not humid where we live but being surrounded by pools and the ocean made up for it. 

We are definitely missing this view though! The water was the perfect temperature and I cannot get over how clear the water was. 


Today I have 3 cards to show you featuring BRAND NEW products that you will be able to order August 1! There is a brand new stamp set, framelits and watercolour pencils! 


I CASE'd the cards in the flyer that Stampin' Up! created but tweaked them using products that I had on hand. I made sure to feature the watercolour pencils on two of the cards and two new colours of the blends on the 3rd card. 

I didn't have any current Christmas DSP to feature on this card, so I took a new embossing folder to give the cardstock some punch. 


This fall card I used the brand new Subtle embossing folder and this is definitely a must have! It adds just enough detail to make your cards stand out. 


The gray DSP is from the Petal Promenade suite of products. I used two new blends colours - Highland Heather and Call Me Clover for the flower and leaves.


I love how this stamp set caters to all of the seasons and is perfect for any occasion! 


So starting August 1st, customers will be able to purchase these products. Or if you are a demonstrator, you can purchase NOW! 

Speaking of being a demonstrator, there are only a few more days to sign up and receive 10 ink pads for FREE!! This is an amazing promotion you do not want to miss out on!


And there are only a few more days to receive a fourth pack of DSP when you purchase 3 others!


One more current promotion is for Paper Pumpkin!


There are so many amazing promotions happening right now, it is an amazing time to be a customer and a demonstrator! 

So many promotions, so little time!

That's all I have for today!

Talk soon,

Wish Big Brusho Card

Hey everyone!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We had gorgeous weather here in Calgary which was perfect since it was the first weekend of Stampede! We went on Saturday and spent over 6 hours there! I love going there and seeing my son experience new things each year we go (he is 4 years old and this was his 4th year going!). This year he made it on to his first kid ride!

I have another fairly simple looking card today but it has a couple different techniques on it. The first technique I did on this card was embossing the Wish Big image with white emboss powder. I then took my Aqua Painter and water washed the background and then sprinkled on the blue Brusho crystals.

This was the second attempt for this card. The first time I had used the brand new black emboss powder but it was too dark to be used with the blue brusho crystals so I redid it with the white powder.

If you look closely at the stamped image, you can see a bit of sparkle inside the letters. I took the Wink of Stella brush and put some sparkles to make the letters stand out a bit more.



It's a very simple card that can be created with so many other colour combinations!

I have listed all of the supplies needed to create these cards and you can include all of them in your Starter Kit when you sign up to become a demonstrator! And you will also get to choose a colour family of 10 ink pads to receive for FREE when you sign up! How exciting is that?!

Click HERE to sign up and receive your 10 free ink pads! You will also receive a special gift from myself just for joining. 


You also want to take advantage of the Designer Series Paper sale! Buy 3 and get your fourth for FREE! 


That's all I have for today! I am going to try to have one more post before I leave on vacation.

Talk soon,
Fallon
