Stampin Up Wonderful Moments - How to create a summertime girl

When the Beautiful You stamp set arrived I changed one of the images into  bikini clad girl (video below) so when I received the Wonderful Moments stamp set I knew that the pregnant lady I would use, but not often so I decided to make her into a summertime girl.

How to create a bikini lady using Beautiful You stamp set from Stampin Up

Very excited today as was playing around trying to create different beach scenes as the weather is so hot and sunny and I came up with an idea of how to turn the Beautiful You lady into a bikini clad beach babe. Wearing a hat in the sea and putting lots of sunscreen on has become the norm these days so she certainly looks very at home in this scene.

Jane Allmark Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator

One of the things that I really love about being a Stampin Up demonstrator is the sense of family and community. I am very lucky to have an incredibly supportive Up line who is always there for questions and queries and has helped me to revamp my blogger with easy to use buttons to take you to all of our lovely catalogues and to be able to shop through me to purchase any of the amazing products Stampin Up does.

Please feel free to have a look around and browse through the catalogues or go straight to my shop.

As many of you know I have had my blog here for a few years now and I love sharing projects and ideas that I have using Stampin Up products. They are so easy to use and quite simply always make my creative juices flow. Have a browse back at some of my blogs to see for yourself.

So how did I become a Stampin Up demonstrator? Well I went to a class held by my wonderful Up line. I was convinced that I couldn't do it and thought it would be old fashioned and fuddy duddy.  On the first point I openly admit I struggled. I had never stamped before let alone made my own cards. However after a few classes and a lot of encouragement the spark started and quickly the flame grew until it became a roaring fire. The products were modern and always bang on trend. Everything matched and coordinated from cardstock, dsp, inkpads and embellishments, so even the simplest ideas looked crisp and professional.

So it wasn't long before I decided to become a demonstrator myself to take advantage of the discounts and to start to grow my own little business.  My overwhelming drive will always be my absolute passion in losing myself in creating and making unique cards and projects for friends, family and customers. There is something overwhelmingly satisfying in sharing this wonderful art and Stampin Up has helped me achieve this.

So my question to you, yes you, is what are you waiting for? Until the end of March there are some amazing incentives to take the plunge and dip your toe in the water.

SHOP - Sale a bration - for every £45 spend choose a free products from the Saleabration brochure.
JOIN -  Become a Stampin Up demonstrator and get your choice of £130 worth of product for only £99 and get 2 free stamp sets (with an added value of up to £93) as well.
HOST -  Get some friends and family together and host a party (I will cover a 10 mile radius of Farnham GU9). Host a qualifying party during sale a Bration and earn £20 more in Stampin Up rewards. So for example if your party sales are £200 you get 10% discount £20 plus £20 extra so £40 to spend on products.

So if I have whet you appetite or have questions or queries (as I must admit it can sound all a bit confusing) then please get in touch.

If you want to just go ahead and shop then please free.

I hope I have given you a little insight to why Stampin Up has and is so much fun and such a big part of my life.

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow when I will be sharing more creative projects.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for having got this far in reading this 💜

Stampin Up Beautiful You For the love of my Mum

I thought I would give you all a little back story of why I love Stampin Up Beautiful stamp set so much. My beloved mother who passed away 8 years ago was an amazing artist. In the 1940's she went to St Martins art college in London to follow her passion for art and her forte was wonderful line drawings of fashion and costume. She went on to work for Simplicity patterns and her drawing of life drawings was beautiful. I remember as a child her sitting in front of me and my brother sketching us and that was my Mum.

As the years went by she did a city in guilds in embroidery and "drew" with embroidery silks amazing 3D picture some of which now hang in my home.  When she passed away and I was sorting through her belongings I cam across her portfolio from St Martins filled with wonderful drawings and a few I have framed for my home and others given to friends and family as a memory of this amazing woman.

So when the Beautiful You stamp set came out I was inspired by my Mum to recreate some different images like she used to draw. Now I cannot draw very well which is why I am so taken by Stampin Up products because they give you the image to start with and with time and practise I have been able to create wonderful art in the form of cards and pictures which I can now share with other people. So my love for Stampin Up has grown.

So I wanted to share with you all why Beautiful You has become such memory inducing stamp set and has inspired some of my creations over the last few days. Pop over to the "ordering" tab on this blog to see how you can share and buy for yourself Stampin Up products and I leave you with one of my mothers' beautiful pieces of art which hangs pride of place in my home.

Stampin Up Beautiful You Art Deco

There is something really rather addictive to this Beautiful You set of stamps as the line drawing images can be played around with and tweaked to create lots of different styles and eras of ladies. Take a look back on my last couple of posts to see some of the images I have created. Our brand new watercolour pencils are just perfect for colouring in these images using either the aquapainter or the blender pen. My personal favourite is the aquapainter and as long as you are careful and use an early dry brush you can use any of our cardstock without pilling occurring.

All of the fantastic products are available from Stampin Up. Just follow the link above to browse their complete ranges in the Spring/Summer catalogue or the annual catalogue and for every £45 spend you can choose a free product from the Sale a Bration brochure, so there has never been a better time to stock up or discover a love for Stampin Up as I have. Stampin Up is not available on the high street and is exclusively available through a Stampin Up demonstrator like myself, so get a pen and write my name Jane Allmark down and shop via me on the Stampin Up website.

So to today's card. I wanted to create and Art Deco lady so by using our black marker I drew a long strappy dress, long gloves and a rather fetching parasol which I think painted black with out watercolour pencils and aquablender. I wanted the dress to be beaded so used some liquid pearls and then some of our pearl basic jewels to decorate the hat and flourishes. The effect is quite stunning and  gives the Art Deco style I was hoping for.

Thanks for following my blog. Happy Sunday and whatever you are doing have fun.

Stampin Up Beautiful You

I'm just loving the Beautiful You stamp set with the gorgeous line drawing images of three different ladies and a fantastic variety of sentiments. The great thing with this set is that you can add a few extra details to change the look of the image completely.  The original image is quite Parisian and I wanted an extravagant  elegant look with feathered headgear and a couple of accessories.

So I used the mirror technique to create two ladies using an acrylic block to stamp and create the mirror ( see yesterdays post for original technique). I then made the free longer and coloured everything using our lovely watercolour pencils and then hand drew a parasol and handbag on each image.

I sponged round the edge of the card in same tonal colours, rich razzleberry and then dapper denim on the outside to give depth.  The finished card was blinded up with a bit of sparkle using our dazzling details, which being waterbased too just blended some of the highlights and added some sparkle.  I love how this card turned out.

To buy this wonderful stamp set and the watercolour pencils click on the link above and use me Jane Allmark as your demonstrator of choice. Thanks for watching and there will be another image soon with an Art Deco feel using the same image.
