You guessed it... Sweet Sugarplum new In Colour today....

Last but one round up post... of more projects using the new In Colours for the display at On Stage Telford.... Sweet Sugarplum's turn today...

Almost 12" Box Frame from 4 pieces of A4 card... 

Explosion Bag Mini Book... with link to tutorial...

 

Rose Wonder Extra Large Card

 

Sweet Sugarplum Fairy/Ballerina Box Frame... 

And have to laugh at myself...having just viewed these photos all together- do you get the feeling I like the polka dots and then the stripes in the designer series paper packs!!!? I do like the script one too... honest!!

Handbag Mini Book in Sweet Sugarplum

Moving back to the new Sweet Sugarplum... this is a mini book in a bag I created for the Stampers Showcase display at On Stage Telford... showcasing the new 2016-18 In Colour Sweet Sugarplum designer series paper and the gorgeous new ruched ribbon...

 

But I don't think many people actually saw what it was... instead just seeing a plain bag sat there... I must have opened it up at least 3 times during the course of the day....

Though I still have to laugh at the random photos I used... I just don't have any girlie photos to fill a pinky project...so I had to think hard... and came up with any pinky/purply flowers from a trip round last Year's Open Gardens in the village... the lilac does work particularly well colour wise..

Want to make one for your self... here is the link to one with the tutorial I posted earlier...

Enormous Box Frame showcasing Sweet Sugarplum... and me & the other half...

Another day... another 2016 On Stage Telford, UK Stampers Showcase project... and cough... I was rather pleased with this one!!! It was a new idea... and it worked!! Second time around....

Although I don't think most people realised that this frame was just made out of cardstock where it lay on the Stampers Showcase table - as it was cheek and jowl with a smaller 9" Ikea Ribba frame.... but for those of you that picked it up... I am sure that you will have realised... as it is somewhat lighter than the Ribba version....

Take 4 pieces of Thick Whisper White card... and make a nearly 12" Square Box Frame... and display whatever your hearts desires...

I didn't originally plan to use this for a scrapbook layout... nor display a photo of Jon and I on our wedding day... but time was of the essence... so other plans were put onto the back burner... yup... that is me a few years back... this may be the first (and last!) time you see a photo of me....!

And no the tutorial is not yet available I am afraid... and it will be a while as the month is somewhat busy!!! ( yes again) Though I am itching to make another variant already!!! 

But in the meantime have a practice run with a Box Frame Card if you haven't already... loads of variants on this blog if you search for Box Frame Card... but go here for the most popular 6" version... 

And spot the new Ruched Ribbon for the new 2016-18 In Colors... think this maybe my favourite ribbon ever! Can't wait till 1st June to buy more....

And a detail for your Rose Wonder die cuts...  double layered leaves...give the spines of a second set of the leaves a squidge (technical term!!!!) and glue over your flat ones...lots of added dimension in a flash...

Talking of dimension..... and many of you will not remotely understand these comments until tomorrow.... Tuesday is for Txxxxx... I know that these few words will make a few of you VERY happy!!!! Dapper Denim again tomorrow if you need another hint.... Yes it is coming!!! Tutorial too...

Stampers Showcase - Sweet Sugarplum Rose Wonder

Moving swiftly onto Sweet Sugarplum... a colour that I know is going to be seriously popular amongst my ladies! 

Another extra large Rose Wonder make... just type in Rose Wonder in the Search box to the top right if you want to see lots more! Including this card in different colourways...

This card had a few variants as I created... long term blog followers will just know it was going to be a Sweet Sugarplum & Silver Foil Rose on a Whisper White base! Unfortunately I forgot to photo for you!

But then I remembered the brief... we had to mainly use the new In Color we were making for the display! So it was quickly popped onto a Sweet Sugarplum base at the last minute....

Neither could I add my Rich Razzleberry Rose! But here you go for another version.... much more dramatic...

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...
