Brae-er's Team Blog Hop - Featuring New Product

Welcome to the Brae-er's Team Blog Hop where we will be featuring some of the new products that we love.  If you have just started the hop, then just keep going until you come back to me, as we hop in a large circle, but if you have come here from Chris's Blog you are in the right place.  If for any reason you get lost, or what the complete list of the hoppers, you can find that list on Brae's blog.

There are so many fabulous new products in our Annual Inspirations Catalogue that it was really hard for me to decide on what to show you.  Then it hit me, I love to colour and our new ShinHan Touch Twin markers are the perfect product for me to share with you.

These markers have been around for quite some time, and are at the top of the market.  Our corporate team has carefully chosen 24 markers that will compliment our colour pallet. Each of these alcohol-based markers includes one broad tip and one fine tip.

This first photo shows the difference between our old alcohol markers and the new markers from ShinHan. Do you notice how vibrant the colours are?

Now here are a few of my creations using the new markers.  I just love how smooth they colour and blend, and don't forget we also carry the ShinHan Colorless Blender Marker too.

What will you create using these fabulous markers?


Now keep hopping as there are more fabulous projects waiting for you.  Your next stop is Tamara's blog where she has something fabulous in store for you. If any of the products you have seen today are on your wish list, you can purchase them here, or from your own local consultant.

Blog Hop Featuring New Products from the Annual Inspirations Catalogue

Welcome to our blog hop featuring all new products from our New Annual Inspirations catalogue. We have approximately 54 participants and they've been busy creating some fabulous creations to inspire you.

If you have come visiting me from Hayley's Blog then you are in the right spot, and then is still lots of amazing creations to follow. If you happen to get lost along the way you can find the complete list here.

My creation for today is featuring the Hostess Stamp Sing Glory(C1587) which can be yours when you host a party.

I stamped the angel in Versamark Ink and added the Ranger Silver Super Fine Embossing Powder.  I just love the look of this embossed. The sentiment is then stamped using Cranberry Ink.  I layered the stamping on Cranberry cardstock before adhering it to the cardbase.  I love this clean and simple look. Below is a close up of the embossed angel.

Your next stop on the blog hop is Vicki's blog.  Don't forget to leave us all a little blog love, as we love to hear from you.

To purchase any of the products featured here or on other participants contact your local consultant or you can shop here.

Christmas in August for New Product Blog Hop

My creation today is using October's SOTM as it was just too cute, and was calling my name to be used. The stamp will be available for your purchase in October, and is called Home for the Holidays, it is one you won't want to miss out on.

I used the new Snowhaven paper pack to create this card, along with Cranberry, Glacier and Whisper Ink. I stamped the image 4 times and cut out the pieces to layer and piece them together.

Annual Inspirations New Product Blog Hop

Being a consultant we are privileged with being able to order prior to the release of the new catalogues so that we can create lots of new creations to inspire you.  I am so in love with all of the new products in this 1st Edition of our Annual Inspirations Catalogue, which is now a year long catatlogue.  This catalogue has over 250 new items, which include 9 new paper packages, 5 new PML kits and so much more.

This blog hop is run through a link up, so all the participants will have their links in thumbnails at the bottom of this post. Just click on the first one, and when you are finished there, scroll to the bottom of their post to click on the next link....and so on!  Pretty simple, right!

I fell in love with the Brushed paper, maybe it's because I have 2 girls, and this pink floral paper just screams GIRLS.  Here is my creation:

 I've used a strip of Jupiner cardstock and a strip from the backside of this floral paper and the scallop border punch to create the strip of scallops on the left side of the card, layered with a piece of the Zipstrip.

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark Ink and I heat embossed that and the 3 butterflies using Clear Detail Embossing Powder.  Then using sponge daubers and the new Canary Ink(yellow) and Jupiner Ink I used a technique called resist embossing to create my own colouring.  The remaining butterflies are stamped with the new Pixie Ink(pink).

This butterfly is cut out twice and layered to look like it is flying off the card.  I added 3 Bitty Pearls to dress it up.

This large butterfly is stamped in Black ink and Pixie ink is then covered in Liquid Glass to create my own embellishment. All images are from the Stamp Set Your Own Kind of Wonderful(D1627).

This card was so fun to create, and I'm excited to share my projects with you, but scroll down and go check out all the fabulous projects created by my fellow consultants.  Hope our creations are able to inspire you to get inky too!

Happy thoughts with AHSC #66

I've been able to get quite a bit of craft time lately and I've been playing with some new product.  Wow, are you all going to love the new Stuff in the Annual Inspirations Catalogue.

Here is this week's sketch:

It's a somewhat simply design with so many options.  This sketch is wide open to interpretation.

Here is what I've come up with:

I've used one of our new paper packs, Brushed as my base for this card, and layered 2 rows of Honey Triangle washi tape to create the strip (I think if I was to do this again, I would of applied it to white cardstock first so that it stands out more). I used A Budding Friendship (D1602) to stamp the flowers, leaves and stems. The flowers are stamped in 3 of our new colour inks, Canary, Pixie and Flaxen(the centers).  The Pixie flower is layered, and the bottom flower I created more depth by adding some shading using out new markers, Cherry Pink and Tender Pink. The leaves are Pear, and the stems I used the Markers, Sap Green and Leaf Green. The Pink flower is popped with 3D Foam Tape to add dimension, and the leafs I curled using my bone folder. See below for a close up on the pink flower.

Now head on over to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge to see all the fabulous creations made by the wonderfully crafty ladies of the Design Team.

2014-2015 Cardstock Club Kickoff

I am so happy to be able to show you the new collections for this next round of Cardstock Club.  Our catalogue is now year long, with 2 Seasonal cataolgues being released in December and April.  These 2 catalogues will have all NEW products featured inside and will run for 4 months, and will include 2 NEW paper packages.

I've gone through the paper collections and selected this round of Cardstock Club very carefully.  In the 2014-2015 Annual Inspirations Catalogue you will find 9 beautiful paper collections.  Adding 4 more with the Seasonal Expressions makes 13 paper collections in 12 months.   I decided to let you have a choice in September between Scaredy Cat and Pathfinding, (or you can choose both for $60 and get the stamp of the Month for FREE as a bonus).

Pictured below is the 9 collections that are planned out, leaving room for the collections that will come from the Seasonal Expressions(unknow at this time).

The new catalogue goes live for customers on August 1st, and current items are disappearing quickly.  Don't delay, order your favourite items now before they are gone. You can find the retiring items here.
