Colour & Contour

Published on April 25, 2021April 25, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Here is another ‘Sneak Peek’ to another product coming in the NEW Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. Colour & Contour Bundle is made up of 5 frames, 1 scallop edge die and 2 dies to cut the floral images from the stamp set.

Here I have also used the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper(DSP), this DSP is found at the back of the Catalogue in the ‘Host & Earn’ section. You can earn this DSP when you have Party Sales over $310….and it will be FREE.

Above image is taken from the current 2020-21 Annual Catalogue showing what Rewards you can earn from Hosting a Party or by placing an order over $250 (minim)

The Pattern Party Designer Series Paper has 48 sheets- 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. One side of the Paper has coloured images and on the other Black and White images, which can be coloured to coordinate with what ever colours you are using with most of our colouring tools.

For my card I have coloured the back & white DSP with a sponge dauber and Highland Heather Ink Pads.

Hand-Penned Suite

Published on April 18, 2021April 18, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

On Friday on my Facebook Live I focused on the Hand-Penned Petals Suite by Stampin’ Up! which will be released when the NEW Annual Catalogue is launched in May.

The products in the Hand-Penned Suite 155503 are-

Hand-Petal Petals Bundle 155492, Hand-Penned Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set and Penned Flower Dies
Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper 155499
Genial Gems 155500

Haned-Penned by Stampin' Up! Products from Pre-order 2021-22 Catalogue

The Hand-Penned Petals Stamps are a Photopolymer Stamp, it is made up of a outline stamp and a filler stamp. The filler stamp is a Distinktive Stamp which creates different opacities in a single stamped image. Below is a great tip on using this type of stamp.

When stamping the filler stamp you will notice the stamp is not exact in size to the outline…that’s OK, it’s the way it is supposed to be.

If you missed my FB Live I have linked it below. All the measurements used are mentioned on the Video.
