Blends Club Round 2 Part 3

Class number 3 in my Blends Club started with shading and moved to a water-washed effect using Stampin Up ® Blends.

This beautiful elephant from the Wildly Happy stamp set, was coloured using the Gray Granite Blends on a Whisper White panel cut with the Stitched Nested label.  We used Gray Granite cardstock base and a layer embossed with the Subtle embossing folder. To break up the gray and add a little interest we added a small piece of vellum in behind the Whisper White layer.

The second card featured an amazing technique by Rochelle Blok, one of the Stampin' up! Artisans. We coloured a piece of acetate with an assortment of brightly coloured Stampin' Blends, and spritzed it with rubbing alcohol.  We then sat a piece of white gloss card face down on the coloured acetate. It picks up the colours and dries quickly.  No two were alike and they created the perfect background for the butterfly silhouette from the Butterfly Beauty dies.

This last card was 'homework' - a project everyone took home to colour.   The beautiful bauble and DSP comes from the Brightly Gleaming Bundle in the Holiday Catalogue.   I've used Night of Navy Blends to colour the bauble.

This was the last of my Blends Club for this round.  The best way to master Blends is to practice, practice, PRACTICE!!

DSP Blitz

Using your DSP

My class on Tuesday 14th May, focussed on using up your DSP stocks - we all do it: we hold on to it, because we love our DSP, but we have lots of stock to use up to make way for the new Stampin Up ® Catalogue coming on June 4th 2019.  Can't wait!!!

We explored a mix of using Stampin Up ® envelopes which we decorated (above), and creating our own envelopes from DSP using the retiring Envelope Punch Board (below) with matching single sheet note cards.

It was as simple as punching out circles, in the matching DSP below, and a strip to decorate the envelope, to create a pretty 'Thank You' card.

The last two cards below, again match the colours in the DSP, to the card front and the envelope.  We used the tailored Tag Punch to lay a pattern across the front of the card.  It's the perfect punch for creating interesting patterns on cards with DSP or plain cardstock.

Don't you love that 'Smile' sentiment?  It's from a new stamp set in the upcoming Annual Catalogue called Daisy Lane.  And the 'thank you so very much' is from Butterfly Gala which is carrying over.
