Swirly Bird Round Up

Just a quick round up picture of my Swirly Bird & 2016-18 In Colour On Stage Telford, UK Display Stamper projects for you today. Bear in mind that I didn't (sniff!) have the co-ordinating dies at the time!

Want to see more details of these projects... Put Swirly Bird into the "Search This Blog" box at the right of my blog page to see a list of all the Swirly Bird projects/blog posts (with links) when they were shared individually...

New In Colour Flirty Flamingo projects

Another round up post of some of the projects made using the new In Colours for the Display at On Stage Telford...

Extra Large Double Display Card featuring Swirly Bird flowers...

Home Made delish Bakers Box...

Happy Birthday Swirly Bird blobs card!

F is for Flirty Flamingo Box Frame...

Delicious Flirty Flamingo Bakers Box...

Lovely simple Bakers Box for you today... quick little project that packs a punch... showcasing the new 2016-18 In Color Flirty Flamingo and Swirly Bird stamp set....

I used the new and coming Swirly Bird little flowers and leaves images to finish off the white embossed Home Made frontage ... 

It had struck me that the delish image from the Home Made set (that co-ordinates with the Bakers Box dies) would match up with the striped papers in the designer series paper stack... it is not a 100% line up but it does quite a good job (the photo angles don't show it off at its best - it is better in the flesh! Trust me)... and makes the decoration really simple... I will certainly be making more of these...

So the front is a stamped and embossed image and the other 3 sides are decorated using papers....

Happy Birthday Blob-style!

Now which new colour shall I choose today... it does feel strange having so many projects made and ready to share! Not my usual way of working at all...

So Flirty Flamingo again me thinks...

This was a card I have had floating around in my head since Christmas and a perfect design to show first, second and third stampings from the Flirty Flamingo ink pad with no re-inking in between...

The blobs are from Swirly Bird ... not the one from the Layered Letters alphabet I used... as you might think so upon first glance... these blobs are more circular and so great for the job...

Oh and the HAPPY is from Number of Years...

New 2016-18 In Color FLIRTY FLAMINGO Double Display Card

Here is another of the cards I made for the On Stage New In Colors Stampers Showcase at Telford...

An Extra Large Square Double Display card which is a new variant of the Large Square version here...

This one was made to showcase the new 2016-18 In Color designers series papers in Flirty Flamingo..

As well as the swirly flowers in the Swirly Bird stamp set... which is coming your way soon.... an interesting set with lots of potential... I think I was sitting there with about 20 flower versions... and that is without having seen the co-ordinating dies!! Which I do think make a great match....

The leaves are from Grateful Bunch - and in the new and coming Emerald Envy...

Now I have to laugh... and this will really surprise some of you! But... I really like Flirty Flamingo! There is just something about it that I can't quite explain...  

And an explanation about the use of so much colour (as I know you are used to my rather more white cards on here!!) We had to mainly use the new In Color we were working with... so it had to be ... although between you and me I found that SO hard!! And yes I did even fail with a few of the cards!!!

Introducing... The new 2016-18 Stampin' Up! In Colors

As I know some of you have been patiently waiting for the release of the NEW In Colours...

Time to start sharing some of the projects I made for the Stampers Showcase boards for On Stage Local in Telford, UK...

I made 5 little (quite daft!) Box Frames with just a play on the colour names.... I have to admit that one colour took me nearly 2 weeks to remember the name...so I though I would do something to hopefully help my fellow demos remember the names more quickly than I had...

And I had to laugh... as my fellow demos picked these up and uttered the "ooh, cool, ah funny and/or love this" words... obviously I am not the only daft one around.... though I am sure that there will have been many that just didn't get them.... well now you know!!!

So first up, my favourite!! Yes I know that most of you will guess this that this would be... I could have kept making projects to fill all the boards with this one...

DAPPER DENIM...

Secondly... the colour I should not like...but I REALLY REALLY do...

And thanks to Ruth Norton at Ruth's Stamping Corner for the Balloon Builder Flamingo inspiration....

FLIRTY FLAMINGO

Thirdly... the colour I struggled to remember the name of... amazing how many P for Plums I came up with over the course of 2 weeks... but a colour that I know most of my ladies will love the most... 

And thanks to Kelly Kent at My Papercraft Journey for her Sugarplum fairy/ballerina inspiration....

SWEET SUGARPLUM

 

Fourthly... a colour that I know will be very very popular... that I like... but that I struggled with in terms of projects to make...until I had a few Eureka moments!! 

And ooh... a new stamp set used here... though not as intended... more on that another day...

EMERALD ENVY

 

And lastly... the first colour I saw when I opened my box... and I won't repeat the word I uttered!! This will be the marmite one... mark my words! Well there always has to be one.... I even nicknamed this one... but I won't share for now!! 

But hey... it will be a very useful colour... sorry I cannot say more... my lips are sealed... 

And hey a new stamp set again... more on that another day...

PEEKABOO PEACH

And arrgh...how frustrating... I obviously forgot to take a round up picture with all 5 displayed together... and I won't get them back for a while...
