The holistic approach

Well everything in my life needs a bit of a shake up every now and then... so last weekend I de-cluttered and am embarrassed to admit I filled a skip, a van and sold a load of bits too!!!

I'm doing this Diploma through work and I'm really struggling with my confidence and my ADHD really doesn't help with my focus - but I am going to do this! You watch!!!!!

So now I've bored you I'm going to share some of my recent work. I've been doing a lot of colouring with Copics and some with Spectrum Noirs. The joy of the alcohol markers is that they blend beautifully - as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I usually focus on SU products as the quality and diversity of their products, combined with the co-ordination, is unrivalled.

I do recognise though that a lot of my customers have other products so today I'm going to show some projects that have used Stampin' Up! products to showcase the colouring I've been doing.


Here I've used the new embossing paste for the brickwork using the SU mask... all the elements are SU but I've used the Spectrum Noirs to good effect. The stamp sets are At Home With You (and coordinating dies), Bella and Friends and Banners for You (with co-ordinating Dies).


In this second card I have used the shells and fish from the Seaside Shore stamp set, the lily from Remarkable You and you'll notice the embossing inside - that's the Seaside embossing folder. The lovely mermaid is by Conie Fong and coloured with my Copics


Lastly for today - It's Christmas in July! Except it's now August - and we seem to have moved straight to winter, as it certainly feels more like Christmas in light of the recent weather. The stamp set is Seasonal Bells - with coordinating punch and the background stamp is Sheet Music - I'm totally in love with that!


Righty ho - I've been studying all day and sat at the computer a lot - so I'm off for my tea and a bit of a lie down to free up my old aching back! Ha Ha!!!

Stampin' Up! Bella & Friends

As you can tell - my new job is keeping me busy and so is my stash of amazing new goodies from the new catalogue! I placed a huge big order and am totally in love!

Here are some cards I made this week. I've used the Aqua Painters to watercolour the images and the new layering framelits.


Isn't that little dog just Sooooo cute?


The card is for a friend who just got a new job!


The patterned papers are the 6x6 A Little Foxy, pack.


What do you think of the little eye patch?


This is the last one... I used the new Duet Banner punch.


My one regret? I didn't get the Layering Ovals framelits on this order!

I've noticed how on-trend Stampin' Up! are - particularly with this catalogue... I bought a new locket and some charms... leave a comment if you can name the stamp sets they represent from the new catalogue!


Hopefully I'll post sooner than 10 days! Have a fab weekend!
