Creating With Kindness Blog Hop with Jar of Flowers

Creating With Kindness Blog Hop with Jar of Flowers. If this is your first time visiting me, welcome and I hope you enjoy your visit. If you have visited before, then you already know that I don’t take life too seriously, so there is likely to be some madness along the way. Today I am hopping with the Creating Kindness Design Team with our theme of colour.

Every year I grow some Zinnias from seed. I love these bright and sunny flowers, especially as you never know quite how they are going to look each year. The colours are amazing and bright, they seem to put up with drought and flood really well, which is just as well this year as that pretty much sums up the summer we have had. They have even survived the high winds we have had this year.

As I seem to be in a bit of an ink blending phase at the moment, it was no surprise that I have used this technique again. What can I say, it is a great technique, accessible to everyone with just a few basic tools (and the addition of glycerine if you are anything like me). My colours for this project are definitely at the bright end of the spectrum, Magenta Madness, Calypso Coral and Mango Melody.

I used both the inks and Stampin’ Blends in these colours, the only additions were Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Combo.

Although the Far of Flowers stamp I selected is meant to be Sunflowers (my absolute favourite flowers), use different colours and you can certainly see that they are now Zinnias.

To make sure the colours of the flowers were ‘clean’, I left the centre of my ink blended card free from colour. Even where the image overlaps the ink blended are, the Stampin’ Blends keep their colour really well.

I used the Stitched Rectangles to cut the inked image and the Basic Black mat. Using these for the focal point means that you can adjust the position until you have it in the perfect place. The Basic Black is there to make the colours ‘pop’ and to add contrast between the inked piece and the Designer Series Paper. I chose to use the 2020-2022 InColor Designer Series Paper to avoid using a solid colour. Which pattern do you think works best? The Dots or the Textile? Please let me know in the comments.

To join my Team of Crafters, simply click on the Get & Go image above or the Join My Team image below and start building your personal Craft Kit.

Stampin’ Cut & Emboss

This is now available to order!!! BUT, if you want to save money, PLEASE don’t order it, instead add it to a Starter Kit and join my group of Crafters. All you need to do is add Item #149653 to your Starter Kit and then decide what to spend the other £18 on. This means that you would save £31, no, make that £35.95 (I forgot that the Starter Kit includes the P&P!).

Box of Sunshine Paper Pumpkin

This is going to be such a fun kit to get your hands on, so please don’t miss out. See what’s included HERE

I pride myself on my Customer Service, so am always thrilled when someone chooses to shop with me so they can experience it for themselves. I also like to share as many products as possible with my customers, so, when you shop with me I split the Host Rewards between all of you if you use the HOST CODE.

But that that is not all. If you use the HOST CODE, you can also earn Sunflower Rewards. For every £30 you spend in any ONE order, you earn ONE reward. Earn 10 Rewards and you get to choose up to £30 of current (not discounted) product. Full details are on the Hostess Code Club Page. This month’s Host Code is:

YMURUS64

If your order is over £150 (plus P&P), please don’t use the Hostess Code as you will get to pick your own rewards, but don’t worry, you will still become a VIP Member. But, even better, if your order is even close to £100, please, please DO NOT ORDER!! Please get the Starter Kit and save money on this order and every future order until at least the end of January 2021.

 

The Starter Kit is ALWAYS the best deal in the Catalogue!  It is such amazing value at a total cost of just £99 (129€) for your choice of £130 (175€) of products (with no additional P&P)!

As a Member of this great Family, you get a minimum of 20% net discount on your future purchases. You also get income from sales you make to other people if you want to use this as a business. Win,Win Right?

Whether you are in the UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands or Austria, just click on the picture to join the Team. If you decide that being part of the Stampin’ Up! Family is not for you, then just stop buying and you will revert to being a customer. Easy, simple, no quibbles!
