Yay! It's Stampin' Up! catalogue launch day! Have you got yours yet? If you would like a catalogue please contact me and I will arrange to send you one.



You may have had a peek at this suite of goodies on my launch party video on Tuesday. These are not the new In Colours - instead this is a whole set called Colour Theory - and I just love it!

You will see a lot of projects made with the stamps and dies - but for today here are a few of the packaging ideas I came up with for my launch event. 



I will be back on Saturday with a hostess stamp set to show you and on Tuesday I will do a mini catalogue tour and tell you about my upcoming special class or if you can't wait...

VIDEO Launch Party at Elizabeth's Craft Room Studio!

Hello and welcome to Elizabeth's Craft Room ,



Every year I run launch parties as the new Stampin' Up! catalogue comes out. I have sometimes posted pictures of my displays - but this year I thought I would do something a bit different and give you a video tour.




I run three parties in total - plus a 'come and peek' event for my team.

Here is what I got up to this year...with my Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning and Thursday morning ladies!

If you would like to come next year and can get to Southampton, Hampshire - just order a catalogue, place and order and let me know and your invitation will be on it's way. In fact I do another special free event for my lovely customers in September every year - and you could be there too!

CONTACT ME if you would like a catalogue. 

I will be back on Thursday and Saturday with a sneak peek of the Colour Theory suite and the In the City stamp set and again on next Tuesday for TWO VIDEOS - a new catalogue walk through and whoop whoop - a look at the BRAND NEW Stampin' Up! PLANNER!

Mediterranean Scooter Card

Hello and welcome to Elizabeth's Craft Room ,

I shared a very subtly coloured card made with the Mediterranean Moments stamp set on Saturday. Today's card is more vibrant.

I used a mixture of a Blender Pen and Aqua Painter and inks to colour the image in. I have found every time I colour this stamp I get a different look - but this was one of my favourites.

Hearts and Flowers card

Hello and welcome to Elizabeth's Craft Room ,

Today I am sharing another card with the Falling In Love designer paper as a background. I think it really lends itself to simple die cut elements on the top.

Here I have added a heart and flowers both cut using the Blooming' Heart Thinlits dies. I finished it with some Enamel Shapes dots in the flower centres.

Nailed It & Build It Pop and Flip Card

Hello and welcome to Elizabeth's Craft Room ,

There have been lots of these pop and flip cards around and in fact I taught one at my recent 'Cards that make you go Ooh' special class.

So here is my take on the style, featuring the Nailed It stamps and Build It framelits. The outside looks fairly plain apart from the addition of the super fancy Urban Underground Embellishment screws! The 'husband' stamp comes from Guy Greetings.


The clever bit happens when you open the card and the inside pops and twists out to reveal the tools! I love the little nail, screw and nut stamps that go with the tools.

High Tide Silhouette with Watercolour Wash

Hello and welcome to Elizabeth's Craft Room ,

Today's card was inspired by one by my team member Sara Harnett, who did a beautiful hand watercolored background.

I took the cheat's way and used the Watercolour Wash background inked up with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red.



After I stamped the lighthouse image in Basic Black, I used black and grey Watercolour Pencils and an Aqua Painter to add more dark colour to the lighthouse and get a true silhouette effect.

High Tide Block Stamping

Hello and welcome to Elizabeth's Craft Room ,

Have you ever accidentally inked up the back of your block and not your stamp? Well if you have then did you know you had found a technique? Block stamping to make backgrounds is a fun technique and here I used it to create a base for the High Tide stamp set.

Just ink up your block - I used two colours - spritz with water and press down. Wait for the paper to dry before stamping any images over the top.

Do you like the effect?

High Tide Reflections

Hello and welcome to Elizabeth's Craft Room ,

This is a card we did at class last month using the reflection technique.  The High Tide stamp set just really lends itself to all sorts of techniques and styles and we loved making this one - with reflecting done for both the birds and the grass.

Hope you like it.
