Last week I shared a peek of the Simply Zinnia products suite. Today I get crafting with them, I love the images and the dies are really cool too. First up some simple colouring in with blends and then its all about the dies.


Using blending brushes to add tone to the die cuts is a very simple way to add dimension. As always when you are using a blending brush, be gentle, a light touch is best. You don’t want blobs!
Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used in the video. Click on the pictures to go shopping in my online store.
I’m heading to Rotterdam for the Stampin’ Up! Onstage event. It is a convention for all Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and we will get to see the NEW catalogue, lots of crafting and demonstrations, business training and all kinds of fun including an awards event.
I’ll report back next week, but if you want to see what goes on in ‘real time’ well real ish……. I’ll be posting when I can on my Instagram and Facebook pages. The wifi in the convention halls is usually rubbish, so I often have to wait till I’m back at the hotel before I can post anything. So it might be late nights and early mornings! Click on the links below to go to Instagram or Facebook.
I’ll be back in my office on Tuesday morning, but if you need me do email, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
Have a great week, I’ll be back soon.
