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...

And finishing off with new In Colour Peekaboo Peach...

Not what I was actually planning on sharing today... but there appears to be an iCloud photo transfer go slow over here today!! I was plotting on sharing some of the new projects I have been working on for my All Day Event last Saturday... but hey not to be... hopefully from tomorrow...

So group shot today of my Peekaboo Peach projects for the On Stage Telford new In Colour displays... followed by the individual photo and link to the project in the text below... 

Butterfly Basics Swing Easel Card... with link to the card tutorial...

Curvy Keepsake Peach... this little project has caused much excitement "in the flesh"... quite a surprise to me!! 

Extra Large Peekaboo Peach Rose Wonder Card...

P is for Peekaboo Peach Box Frame ( I am still itching to add some googly eyes to this one!!!)

And that as they say... is a wrap.... or is it!!!?

Peekaboo Peach Rose Wonder

Coming towards the end of my long series of On Stage Showcase Stampers display projects featuring the new 2016-18 In Colors... so back to Peekaboo Peach today...

A true CAS extra-large card with lots of "white space" (actually Very Vanilla...) Not quite as per the brief (ie using the featured new colour for the main part of the project... plus a bit of neutral) as just a small amount of Peekaboo Peach! Plus Pear Pizzazz too...

Just 2 die cut Rose Wonder roses water-coloured using ink and the Aqua Painter.

And the greeting finished off with a pop of gold foil... I just hand-cut around the stamped greeting frame to achieve this effect...

Peekaboo Peach Swing Easel Card

Back to an old favourite... the Swing Easel Card... tutorial from A4 card here ...and from 12x12 card here

Back to an old favourite Butterfly Basics...

And showcasing the new 2016-18 In Color Peekaboo peach designer Series papers and a new gold/vanilla ribbon for the Stampers Showcase tables at Telford On Stage...

Liking the combination... which is Peekaboo Peach teamed with Sahara Sand, Tip Top Taupe and Early Espresso... which was a good job as I finished this one 5 minutes after I was supposed to be being picked up on the Friday to go down to the event!! Like to leave a few things till last minute!!! Life would be too easy otherwise.....

New 2016-18 In Colour Peekaboo Peach for Stampers Showcase

And finally in the introducing the new 2016-18 In Colors... we have PEEKABOO PEACH...

Now this colour did give me some trouble!! I am definitely not a lover of a peach colour... but I do admit that is a missing colour in our repertoire! And (without being able to say more!) it is definitely going to be a very useful - and needed - colour when the new catalogue launches 1st June...

So I give you a peach!! Just in case you were wondering... This was the first project to do that popped into my mind when I saw the colour... so I was so glad to see that the die was carrying over... as I was definitely in need of some quick projects... and it does look great in the flesh!!!

A couple of die cuts using the Curvy Keepsakes die... with overstamping with stamped off Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo using the You've Got This background stamp ... makes a great peach... 

My Wild Wasabi leaves are from Rose Wonder (as yes I did still have the stamps and dies out when my Stampers Showcase box landed from the USA!!) Tag from Tags and Labels... overstamped with the You've Got This background and Sahara Sand, finished off with Circle of Spring wreath and greeting...

Now where are the photos of the card I was going to post today!!!

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...
