Merry Christmas to All for Retro Rubber

Welcome to the final challenge of the year at Retro Rubber. We've got a festive colour challenge for you and as always, we ask you to use at least one stamp that's a year or more old and to give us the approximate age of it.

Our retro challenges are a great chance to get out some old favourites and to give them a different look when you mix them up with new products. This card is definitely playing with old favourites.

One of my favourites from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue was the Merry Christmas to All bundle, which is still available - just no longer as a bundle. I enjoyed the mix, and range, of the stamped and die-cut greetings.

The Tin Tile embossing folder, also from last year, is another favourite and I'm pleased it's still available. I've given it a light coating of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to add some shine.

New items that give a different look are the Wrapped in Plaid DSP, the Shimmer White embossing powder (a pretty mix of white and glitter) and the gold Designer Element embellishment.

You can see what the rest of the team have done, and link up your entry, by visiting the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog. We'd love to see what you do with these colours!

If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas, get you catalogues and provide you with Stampin' Up products. You can leave a message in the comments or contact me using any of the methods listed in the Contact Me tab at the top of the page.

Colour Inkspiration 53 - Crew Card

Welcome to a new challenge at Colour Inkspiration! If you haven't played with us before, we're a group of Australian and New Zealand Stampin' Up demonstrators. You can play with us by joining in our Facebook group here which will let you play along, comment and vote for your favourite from the top 5 selected by the crew.

This time it's another pretty combination: Petal Pink, Mint Macaron, Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy, Whisper White and a touch of metallics.

I've created a concoction of bubbles using Playful Backgrounds, repeat stamped and embossed in gold. Then I've used Stampin' Blends in Petal Pink, Bermuda Bay and Mint Macaron - both light and darks - to colour the bubbles.

The 'celebrate' is stacked three deep. I used some gold shimmer paint mixed into a spray to give a touch of bling to it. The 'lets' and 'you' are masked out of one of the stamps in Itty Bitty Birthdays and the 'Happy Birthday' is from the same set.

I stepped things up a bit by creating an easel card. Here it is closed up for the envelope.

Next on our inspiration blog hop is the lovely Julia Quinn, who also has a fancy fold to show you.

If you live anywhere in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up demonstrator, I'd love to help you with ideas and Stampin' Up products. Please message me through my Facebook page, linked in the sidebar of this blog or leave a comment below.

The Paper Players 413 - Design Team Card

This week at The Paper Players, Sandy has given us a theme challenge: trees and leaves. Such a good theme for this time of the year, with autumn in some parts of the world, spring in others and Christmas just around the corner.

Shimmer paint is a new product on offer in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalogue and seems to have a myriad of uses. There are four colours to choose from: Vegas Gold, Bright Copper, Frost White and Champagne Mist. I'm having a class in a couple of weeks on using shimmer paint and so I used Sandy's challenge to come up with a card that shows off the gold paint.

I've used a sponge dauber to add some touches of gold to the inked stamps before I stamped them, I've used it to create a spray to add some shimmer to the corrugated panel and I can use it to paint the edge of the mat layer.

I think my people will enjoy this card and the other two cards we're making that use other colours in other ways. I also really like that this card uses a non-Christmas set to make a Christmas card. These sweet trees are from Rooted in Nature.

So, what kind of trees and leaves are you going to show us at The Paper Players? We'd love to see.

If you're going to join us, there's a couple of simple rules to keep in mind.

Create a new paper project.
Upload your project to your blog with a link back to The Paper Players.
Provide a direct link to your blog post for your challenge entry.
Please link your card to no more than FOUR challenges (including ours).

Please take note of these few rules as entries that do not comply will be deleted from the gallery.

And, of course, you can shop with me from anywhere in New Zealand by clicking any of the products pictured below or the SHOP NOW button in the sidebar of this blog or you can message me.
