Amazing Silhouettes

Posted on January 14, 2022January 14, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

Back in November I attended OnStage @ Home. Just like everyone else Stampin’ Up! switched their annual conference online. And while I do miss the in-person events, I still enjoy the online version. They do a great job! Anyway…. as part of attending OnStage I received the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set which is in the new January-June Mini catalogue. I have to admit that I wasn’t as excited as with this Prize Patrol, but did see some potential.

This card is my first design using this stamp set. And to ease my way into it I paired it with a few other stamp sets. I started my design thinking I would make a monochromatic card. And one of the Pool Party designs from the Sale-a-bration Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper was perfect! This one is a nice simple design and won’t overpower the other elements of the card. So Pool Party is my main colour for this card.

The central image is the butterfly from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set. Behind that are the dotted circle images from the Sweet Conversations stamp set. Both of these I stamped with Pool Party, of course. But for the dotted circles I stamped them full strength and then once more for a faded image too. Then the phrase, which I stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, came from the new In the Moment stamp set. This set also came from OnStage… I bought the swag box this time around and that was one of the goodies inside!

To highlight the phrase and butterfly I cut them out using the Stitched Rectangles and Stitched So Sweetly dies. And then I popped them up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish it off I added a couple of the Brass Brushed Butterflies. I just love these!! As soon as I saw them at OnStage I knew I had to have them. And when they ended up being one of the other Prize Patrols I was super excited. Here’s the card…

The Amazing Silhouettes stamp set is definitely growing on me. I already have a couple other ideas in my head for other projects.

Sale-a-bration is back!

Posted on January 11, 2022January 11, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

It’s that time of year again! And Sale-a-bration is back! Which means it’s time to stock up on your crafting supplies and get exclusive products for FREE! I am just loving this year’s catalogue from Stampin’ Up!. There’s lots of great Designer Series Paper and stamp sets. For us seasoned crafters this will be a review. But if you’re new to crafting then here’s what you need to know about Sale-a-bration.

Sale-a-bration is Stampin’ Up!s biggest promotion of the year. From now until February 28th there’s an extra catalogue filled with exclusive products that you can choose from for free with your order. And depending on your order you can choose different products. If your order is $60 or more then you can choose from the Level 1 ($60) products. And if your order is $120 or more then you can choose from the Level 2 ($120) products. If you manage to hit $180 then you can mix and match!

One of my favourite products from the Sale-a-bration catalogue is the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP. It’s so colourful and fun! Plus it coordinates perfectly with the Rainbow of Happiness stamp set and dies from the January-June Mini catalogue.

And as always there’s more! When you host a qualifying workshop, or you place an order of $375, you can get the Calming Camellia stamp set. This is a great time of year to host a workshop. Not only do you get more when you’re the host, but your friends and family get more too!

The other thing I need to mention is the extra bonus when you join the Stampin’ Up! family. The Starter Kit is always a great deal at $135 (no tax or shipping) for $165 worth of Stampin’ Up! products, a Paper Pumpkin kit and all the business supplies you need.

Sunshine and Rainbows

Posted on January 7, 2022January 7, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

It’s that time of year again… Sale-a-bration time! The new catalogues just launched on Tuesday and I’m so excited for them. So today I’m sharing a project using 2 of the new Sale-a-bration products. The first is the Sunshine and Rainbows Designer Series Paper. And the other is the Catching Butterflies stamp set. Both are super cute and are some of my favourites from the Sale-a-bration catalogue!

To start my design I knew I wanted to use the Catching Butterflies stamp set. So next I needed my colour combination and for that I pulled from the DSP pack. There are so many fun and colourful designs is this pack of DSP! I decided to used the design with the Pool Party clouds and was pleasantly surprised when I flipped it over and could use the other design as well. So Petal Pink ended up being my other colour.

I stamped the girl with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and a couple of butterflies in Petal Pink. So to bring in the Pool Party from the DSP, I used that to stamp my phrase. The phrase is also from the Catching Butterflies stamp set.

To make sure I could still see lots of the DSP I cut out the image and phrase using the Layering Circles and Stitched So Sweetly dies. Then I popped them up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish it off I added a few of the Brushed Brass Butterflies. I’m a big butterfly person, so as soon as I saw these in the new January-June Mini catalogue I knew I had to have them!

Here’s the finished card…

I just love the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP and can’t wait to craft with it some more! Keep coming back for more projects using some of the products from the new catalogues. Plus you can also get exclusive project sheets when you sign up for my weekly newsletter here. Or if you’re all set to dive in and place your order to get your free Sale-a-bration products then head over to my online shop!

Awesome Otters

Posted on December 31, 2021December 31, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

The new catalogues are set to launch next week! So I thought I’d share a simple card using the Awesome Otters stamp set. This comes from the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalogue, which I know you’re going to love. I have always loved otters, so when I saw this set it immediately jumped to the top of my wishlist! The images are super cute. And they’re great whether you decide to colour them or not.

For this simple card I wanted to show off some of the other great products from the Sale-a-bration catalogue too. So I paired these cute otters with the Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper. The card base is Bermuda Bay for the water of course and the DSP design is Pool Party. I really wanted to show off the paper, so I trimmed down the images into squares.

I stamped the phrase and otters in Early Espresso ink. Then I coloured the otters with the first pack of Watercolour Pencils using Early Espresso and Bermuda Bay. There’s also a little bit of Melon Mambo and Old Olive in there. I wish the Stitched Shapes dies were still around. If they were I totally would have used them for this card. Instead I just made Basic White cardstock squares.

I popped up a couple of the otters with some Stampin’ Dimensionals and just used Stampin’ SEAL for the phrase and other otter. That made it easier to stagger the images so that you could still see most of the stamped images. Then to finish it off I added a few Opal Rounds. There are some Faux Sea Glass shapes that I would have loved to have added from the upcoming new mini catalogue. Those will definitely be on my next order!!

I know I’m going to have a lot of fun crafting with the Awesome Otters stamp set. And I can’t wait for you guys to see what’s in the new catalogues! If you live in Canada and want to get your very own copies, contact me here or send me an email at inkspirationwithteresa@gmail.com. And make sure to check out my online shop starting on January 4th!

Frosted Gingerbread

Posted on December 10, 2021December 10, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

I’m back with another couple of projects featuring some retiring products from the July-December Mini catalogue! This time I’m sharing one of my favourite stamp sets… Frosted Gingerbread. I also love the suite that it’s a part of; Gingerbread & Peppermint. Making gingerbread cookies at this time of year is something I’ve done since I was a little kid. And now my munchkins help me with the baking and love it just as much. This stamp set is super cute and it reminds me of baking gingerbread cookies… how could it not?!

This first card shows of the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set on it’s own. I used a combination of Real Red and Old Olive ink. And used some of the returning, now retiring, Real Red Sheer Ribbon. I simply stamped different images from the stamp set randomly on some Basic White cardstock to create a background. And then I did it again with a smaller piece of Basic White that I popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

If you want to step this card up a bit you can use the Stitched Rectangles dies for the smaller pieces of Basic White. Or even add a few rhinestones or gems. I liked keeping this one nice and simple!

For my other card I wanted to show off some of the great Designer Series Paper from this suite. The colours and designs are perfect for the Christmas holidays. And some of the images on the DSP can be cut out with the Gingerbread dies. Although for this card I decided to fussy cut some of the gingerbread oven mitts.

I used Old Olive and Real Red again which goes with the DSP. Then I popped up the oven mitts and phrase using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added a little bit of White Crinkled Seam binding ribbon behind the phrase. And I wanted to add a bit of bling on this one so I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

These cards were fun and easy to make. I’m definitely going to miss the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set… and the rest of this suite!

Check out last week’s projects featuring the Time of Giving bundle here. And you can check out all the retiring products in my online shop. These are only available until January 3rd, or while supplies last. So don’t wait too long!

Take the Plunge!

Posted on November 9, 2021November 9, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

I often share things in my social posts about how much I love my team and enjoy being a demonstrator for Stampin’ Up! My team are a great group of creative people who are so kind, thoughtful and supportive. And Stampin’ Up! of course has fantastic products, but also knows how to have fun and is super supportive to it’s customers and demonstrators. I wouldn’t have stuck around for 9 years otherwise and I’m so glad that I decided to take the plunge!

Like most demonstrators I found something that I loved doing and couldn’t resist the discount. Fellow crafters you know how easy it is to spend ALOT on our supplies, so 20-25% off is hard to pass up! Especially when it’s great quality products. Over the years I’ve been sharing my love of crafting and Stampin’ Up!. First with classes for friends and family. Then on social media and here. And lately I’ve been wanting to share this great opportunity more and more.

After the discount, the best thing about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator are the people you get to meet. I refer to my team as my Stampin’ family and that’s because whenever we get together it’s like no time has passed. And once this pandemic is past us I know that it’ll be just like I saw them last week. I’ve even had the chance to meet demonstrators from around the world and I’m hoping that I’ll be able to attend my 10th anniversary in person at OnStage next year. Here are some pics of me and my teams.

If after all this you still need a little something more to take the plunge, I have it for you. From now until the end of this month (Nov. 30th) you can get the awesome Starter kit for only $100! The Starter kit comes with catalogues, business supplies and $165 worth of Stampin’ Up! product of your choice. Usually the kit is $135 and even at that price it’s a great deal. But with the discount and the fact that you don’t have to pay taxes or shipping, there isn’t a better time to sign up then now.

Send me an email if you have any questions (inkspirationwithteresa@gmail.com). Or you can dive right in and join my team here! I’m happy to help in any way I can and I can’t wait to get to know you!

Sale-a-bration 2021

Posted on January 5, 2021January 5, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

The new January-June Mini catalogue is here! But more importantly Sale-a-bration 2021 is here!! This is always a great time to stock up on crafting supplies because when you do you earn free and exclusive products. Stampin’ Up! is doing it a little differently though this time around. So here’s all the details so you can make the best of Sale-a-bration.

The big difference this year is that Sale-a-bration is only 2 months, til the end of February, instead of 3! And instead of only 1 Sale-a-bration, this year there will be 2. The second one will take place over the summer. Otherwise Sale-a-bration is very much the same. Every order of $60 will earn you a free and exclusive Sale-a-bration product of your choice. So when your order is $60 you can choose a Level 1 product, when your order is $120 you can choose either 1 Level 2 product or 2 Level 1 products and so on. The other important thing to highlight is that some of these products may not last until the end of Sale-a-bration. So you won’t want to wait! Here’s some of the great products that you can earn for free during this Sale-a-bration.

As always there are 2 other ways that you can earn extras during Sale-a-bration. The first is by hosting a qualifying party of $375 or more. When you do, you not only get extra Stampin’ Rewards (aka free stuff), but you’ll also earn the Punch Party stamp set from the picture above. You can’t get this set any other way.

The other way is by joining my team. The Starter Kit is always a good deal because you get $165 worth of Stampin’ Up! products of your choice for only $135 (tax and shipping included)! But right now you can also get 5 exclusive 6×6 packs of Designer Series Paper. Each pack features one of Stampin’ Up!s colour families; Brights, Neutrals, Regals and Subtles. Plus the most recent In Colours; Misty Moonlight, Just Jade, Bumblebee, Magenta Madness and Cinnamon Cider. Here’s a peak at the packs…

So if you live in Canada and have been waiting for the opportunity to join the Stampin’ Up! family, now is a great time! Here’s the link to join my team. Or if you have questions or want me to send you the new catalogues then contact me. I’m happy to help in any way I can!

I know I’m excited for Sale-a-bration 2021 and I hope you are too!
