Stampin' Up! Party Pandas Eclipse New Year Card

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

I am so excited to be joining Janet Wakeland's blog hop today, we are showcasing the new 2018 Sale-a-Bration catalogue. My name is Jillian Selwood and I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator based in the UK.

As soon as I saw the Party Pandas stamp set I wanted it! It is just gorgeous and so versatile.

I thought this would make a perfect invitation card for a New Year's Eve party or just a Happy New Year card, either way I'd love to receive it.

I started off with a card base of Rich Razzleberry and a whisper white layer. I stamped two of the three Panda's and coloured the balloon and party hats with Stampin' Blends in Rich Razzleberry and Pink Pirouette. Next I cut out the numbers 2018 and then dry embossed the layer with the new Scattered Sequins Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. To finish I highlighted all the sequins and the balloon with my Wink of Stella pen for a bit of sparkle.

I rather like the end result and hope you do too.

Don't forget to visit all the other blogs to see the fabulous creations from my fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Crafty Cupcakes Blog Hop July 2017

Welcome to the Crafty Cupcakes Team Stampin' Up! Blog Hop for July 2017. Each month members of the Team take part in our Team Blog Hop to share with you our cards and projects made using the fabulous Stampin' Up! products. You are currently visiting Jillian Selwood of Purple Jelly Designs based in the UK and below you will see the full list of everyone taking part. To move to the next blog just click the name after mine in the list. This month our theme is Annual Catalogue Favourites and I've chosen to use the Beautiful Bouquet and Bouquet Bunch Framelits Dies. 

This is the card I have created with this fabulous set.

I started off with a card base of Powder Pink, one of the new In Colours for 2017-19. I then embossed a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the new Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (DTIEF), I decided to use the debossed side as I thought it gave more depth. I then layered a piece of  Emerald Envy cardstock and Melon Mambo cardstock at a jaunty angle, this is really not my style at all but I really like the way it looks. I then die cut the stems and leaves in Emerald Envy and die cut three lots of flowers in Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and Powder Pink, I wasn't sure which colour to use but when I placed them next to each other I quite liked the effect of different shades of pink. I also die cut the bow using Powder Pink.

To finish off I added some Wink of Stella to the flowers and the bow, pearls in the centre of all the flowers and the bow and two large pearls on each of the card layers. I decided not to stamp a sentiment on the front of the card as I just liked the simplicity of it. Before I sent it to someone I will stamp a sentiment on the inside.
