Joy of Sets Blog Hop August 2018

Hello and welcome to Amethystarcrafting. My Name is Jane Allmark and I'm a UK Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator.

Thank you for joining the Joy of Sets Blog Hop for August.  This hop is all about the new annual catalogue and all the lovely products inside.  Please look at hopping forward and backwards to see all the great projects that have been posted by following the arrows below.

My project uses the lovely Wonderful Moments stamp set as you can see there are some beautiful line drawings which can be coloured in however you choose.

The image I chose was the pregnant lady and switched her up to make her just a lady without the bump.  This allowed me to use her lots of different projects.  This card would make a great anniversary or birthday card for someone special.

To see how I changed the image have a look at my video below

This was a summertime girl and I added a crop top and long skirt.  Colour the image in whatever medium you wish

Stampin Up Wonderful Moments - Using those stamps that sometime get overlooked

We all buy stamp sets because the focal image has attracted us and we then must buy that set.  However how often do we just use those focal images and forget about all the other little stamps that might be in a set.

I like to get maximum usage from a stamp set, so when I buy it I want to get the maximum usage from that set and so I look for as many ways to use every single one of the stamps.

Wonderful Moments is an example of a fantastic stamp set chosen for the images of the bride, an expecting mother and a girl who can hold balloons, presents and flowers.  There is a little scroll stamp which when stamped together makes a fantastic border.  Fussy cut it out and you have a beautiful scrolled frame. Build it up by stamping one, two or more scrolls together to make layered borders.  Take the little flower, or the balloons or presents and of the sentiments to create a beautiful card.  Happy Birthday and Thanks So Much are go to sentiments to use again and again in a pretty font.

Stampin Up Wonderful Moments using Watercolour Pencils

WONDERFUL MOMENTS STAMP SET is just a fabulous set as there are three lovely images and lots of sentiments to be able to create a card for any occasion. Wedding, Birthday, Anniversary, Valentine, the list goes on.

This projects using the bridal image coloured so it is a soft purple/pink colour with a wash round the background.  This would make a lovely prom card for all the students end of term proms and of course can be coloured in whatever tones you want.

The watercolour pencils are available from August and at the moment will be limited for that month only, although we all hope they may be continued in a future catalogue a they are so gorgeous.

Heres a video showing you how to create this lovely card.
