Stampin' Up! Lift me Up Fancy fold Card

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

The Theme for the Great Card Swap challenge in September was Up, Up and away.

Lift me up Stamp set, Up and Away Thinlit dies, Fancy fold card

I love the Lift me up Stamp set and the Up and away Thinlet dies, so this was a perfect excuse to use them. I also used the now retired DSP which co-ordinates perfectly with the stamps and dies.

My swap partner this month was in Germany so the sentiment 'Sending Smiles across the miles' seemed very appropriate.

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Thank you for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! We’re so excited to be sharing this hop with you. The products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin’ Up!® Catalogues*. Simply use the buttons at the bottom of the post to keep hopping!

The lovely Heidi Smith designed our sketch this month and here it is:

Last April was the first time I had taken part in this blog hop and I used the retiring In Colours 2014 - 2016 for my card so I decided I would do exactly the same with this card using the retiring In Colours from 2015 - 2017, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder.

I used the In Colour paper stack in all the colours then I stamped 'For you' on a piece of Mint Macaron and die cut using the layering oval framelits, I matted this on top of Mint Macaron paper stack. I then stamped and punched three flowers using the Petite Petals stamp set and punch, sadly these will also be retiring at the end of May.

Pootlers Spring Summer catalogue Blog hop January 2017

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Welcome to another Pootlers Blog Hop, this time we are celebrating the new Spring / Summer 2017 Catalogue which went live last week.

Beautiful You stamp set, Tip Top Taupe 15-17 In Colours

The Beautiful You stamp set has got to be my absolute favourite out of the new Spring and Summer Stampin' Up! catalogue. I was lucky enough to win it on the Prize Patrol at On Stage in Telford. When I first saw it I have to admit I was a little underwhelmed but as soon as I got home and started using it I fell in love.

I've made quite a few variations using the different ladies but I think this is my favourite. I have used Tip Top Taupe which is one of my favourite colours from the 15-17 In Colours. With the sponged edges it looks sepia and I just love that effect.

For the dress and hat I stamped on a piece of Tip Top Taupe Colour stack DSP and then fussy cut, not something I usually do but I think it was worth the effort.
