Very exciting times is our theme for this special Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! The next few months are filled with new products and new colours! On May 1st Stampin' Up! is releasing a new suite from the new catalogue called Share What You Love Suite. Then on June 1st the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue starts!

Today's card feature the Share What You Love stamp set and the Garden Impressions designer series paper. After stamping the flowers in Night of Navy ink, I used an Aquapainter filled with rubbing alcohol to colour in the flowers. The alcohol dries very quickly giving a different water coloured look to them!

On May 1st I will be hosting a Facebook event sharing all the details about the Share What You Love Suite! Join me at www.Facebook.com/FromWhereIStamp to learn about the suite, have a chance to earn a prize and see some new samples!

Thankfully I was able to have everything ready to assemble while at the crop and spent a little time putting them together while watching Netflix.

OnStage in London, Ontario was so much fun this past Saturday! We were given a brand new 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue (starts in June), saw new ink pads and colours (too many new favs!), created 4 projects (I'll share these later), celebrated Stampin' Up!'s 30th year with Chocolate cupcakes (I might of had 2 of them) AND now I have so many ideas!

I'm sharing half of my projects with you today and the other projects tomorrow! I made 15 projects in total with the new items that were sent to me. This is my second time as a display stamper and although it is stressful, it is so much fun!

Welcome to April's Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! This month we are sharing projects featuring embellishments! Please make sure to visit everyone's blog posts to see all the wonderful projects.

Decided to start with the Hearts & Stars Elements. Then pulled out the Rhinestones and a piece of Painted with Love Speciality Designer Series Paper. Sometimes it is hard to make a card with one little object as the focal point! Sometimes I find that just grabbing something I haven't used in awhile, such as the Painted With Love specialty designer series paper can spark my creativity!

Tomorrow I'm attending Stampin' Up!'s OnStage event in London, Ontario!! I'm so excited to see new products, receive my copy of the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue and hang out with so many other demonstrators!

I wanted to try out colouring this paper using alcohol in my Aquapainter instead of water. Used Lemon Lime Twist and my aquapainter to colour in the leaves of the vine paper. Then after it dried used a Sponge Dauber to rub colour over the rest of the piece of designer series paper.

Welcome and Happy Blog Hop day to you! This month we have a colour challenge to share!


From the watercolor paper I cut out the word first, then did the Lemon Lime watercolor wash over it. I kept the cut out pieces together so that the words would be sturdier when the words would be wet. Once dry the main piece is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The Island Indigo piece was run thru the hexagon embossing folder to create some background flare.

Supplies
Stamps: Lovely Inside & Out
Colours:  Lemon Lime Twist, Early Espresso, Island Indigo
Accessories: Lovely Words Thinlits dies, Aquapainter, watercolor paper

Thanks for stopping by!

Each month my upline has a creative challenge for her team. This month she gave each of us a package of pre-cut designer series paper and asked us to create 3 projects! Above is what was in my packet. What an awesome challenge! I am not a fan of pinks so I hadn't purchased this paper pack yet and it is so much nicer than shown in the catalogue! The gold accents really stand out.

Welcome to February's Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop all about love! There are so many stamps to choose from to fit in this category. I choose one of my favourites, the This Little Piggy stamp set.



The Picture Perfect Party 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper has some excellent patterns that will work for most cards. I really like the colours that are in this paper. To colour in the piggy I used Pink Pirouette and a Blender Pen. The body was coloured in twice to get the darker look. I also used a Blender Pen and Lemon Lime Twist for the grass.

Supplies
Stamps: This Little Piggy
Colours: Berry Burst, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Lemon Lime Twist
Accessories: Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper, Silver 1/8" Ribbon, Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Layering Squares Framelits Dies, Blender Pen, Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy the rest of the fabulous projects everyone has on their blogs!
Happy early Valentine's Day!
