Creatively Inked, a specially curated DIY paper crafting kit makes creating beautiful hand-made projects easier than ever, and this month we are creating with the Sophisticated Sled Bundle! Each month, you will receive a kit delivered right to your door, with all the supplies, detailed step-by-step instructions with photos, and an overview video, to create at least 5 beautiful projects.
Each project kit will come precut/scored/embossed – all the work done for you (except what is done with the featured bundle) – so you can use your time to create! You will find about $20 of carefully selected Stampin’ Up! products included in each month’s kit, taking the guesswork out of selecting the best coordinating products for your projects.
Not only will you enjoy creating, but each kit has a focus, helping you master the art of paper crafting in no time.
This month we will be using the beautiful Sophisticated Sled Bundle. I love the nostalgic line art stamped images and beautiful assessory dies included in the die set. The sled is amazing, and the details fabulous, with wood grain details cut into the image, and accents to create a realistic element for your projects.

Welcome to the September Color Fusers blog hop where I am sharing a cool coloring technique and the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle launching this week in the Holiday Catalog!
I have to admit, this color challenge was just that – a challenge! So I jumped right in, and decided to go with a Crumb Cake base. From there, I decided how I would elevate the colors. One of my favorite coloring techniques is Wink of Stella coloring, so I channeled my inner Picasso, and went for it!
The browns in the challenge lent themselves nicely for something natural, like animals, or the birds from the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle. This set is really beautiful, and will be released this week with the launch of the Holiday Catalog on the 4th! With this somewhat monochromatic color scheme, I focused on building texture, with an embossed background, and added die cut elements.
Did you notice the embossed background? This is the Birch 3D Embossing Folder. It is part of the Nests of Winter Suite, which includes the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle. Both become available this week with the launch of the September – December 2024 Holiday Catalog on Wednesday!
Easy Coloring Technique
Coloring with Wink of Stella is one of the easiest coloring techniques! Wink of Stella is a pen with shimmery liquid. You can pick up any color ink with the tip and color your image like it’s a paint brush! It’s so cool. This creates the look of colored shimmer on your project. You can blend colors, and layer the color for detail. It really is like playing Picasso!
To Create the Project
Crumb Cake card base: 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ for a square card
Embossed front layer: 4″ x 4″ embossed with the Birch 3D Embossing Folder
Die cut elements: Crumb Cake Cardstock
Adhere the embossed layer to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp bird image in Pecan Pie ink. Color with Crumb Cake ink using a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. Add details with Pecan Pie and Crushed Curry ink. Color berries with Crushed Curry ink. Die cut with coordinating die. Die cut multiple leaves. Adhere birds with Stampin’ Dimensionals, add leaves. Stamp sentiment in Pecan Pie ink. Fussy cut and adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with gems and a bow.

It’s almost time for the September – December 2024 Mini (Holiday) Catalog, that means it’s time to reserve your Holiday Product Shares! These are only offered for a short time before a catalog launches, and is the best way to receive a little of everything from the catalog.
Product Shares – a product share is a partial pack of products, grouped and packaged for easy use. Because, let’s face it, we all love having all the new things! This is perfect for trying a little of everything at a fraction of the cost..
Paper Samplers – paper samplers are creative tools used to display a paper collection, or to use as a reference while you are crafting. These are invaluable to coordinate products while you are working. Each collection set features all the paper patterns, the catalog name and image, item number, detailed information as needed, and coordinating colors in a compact tool. The best part….once you no longer want the sampler, you can pull it apart and use the paper to create!
Details
Paper share includes 1/4 pack of each new paper collection.
Most 12″ x 12″ paper collections are cut 6″ x 12″ with some exceptions. Paper collections that are 6″ x 6″ are full size.
