Lesson 107

Can you have too many flower cards? Hopefully not because this lesson is packed with them.
I had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Flower Patch and matching Flower Fair Framelit Dies. Have a look at pages 154, 155 and 156 of the catalogue and you will notice that these stamps are the new photopolymer style of stamps. Yes, I will share some tricks and tips with you on how to use them.


We have learnt the basic rules and tips for using the Blendabilities so now we are ready to blend!!!

And how about a bookmark?

Thanks again to Papercraft Button for this Multipurpose Book Tutorial and Video. Sorry about the retired DSP but I will be making another one with the new Back to Black DSP. I'll post a pic when I have finished.
Most of you know that we hold a Monthly Colour Challenge. Thanks to Robyn for her colours: Calypso Coral, Soft Sky, Smoky Slate and Whisper White. Feel free to play along and you might win a stamp set.
In this lesson you are also invited to make a card with the Everyday Occasions Kit. When all 20 cards are made there will be a draw and the winner will take home an entire kit. Have a look on page 196.
Lesson dates are July 22, 23, 29, 30 and August 3.

Lesson 106

There are so many great new stamp sets and accessories in the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue. It will be hard to beat Work of Art and Wetlands but the vintage set Traveller is creating quite a stir.
We've done wallets before, but this one, using Papercraft Button's tutorial has a nautical feel.

Everyone's talking out the new Blendabilities. I have had a play and you can too!

I had been avoiding the set Serene Silhouettes. I think that I was a little unsure of the bird image. What do you think?
Lesson dates are July 8, 9, 15, 16 and 20.
