Flirtatious Doilies

23 September, 2011 3 Comments

Well where has this week gone??  I swear yesterday was Sunday!!

I do know today is Friday though as I have a fun workshop happening tonite!

Are you loving the new Catalogue? I know I am .. now I originally thought I wouldnt need to buy the Delicate Doilies stamp set as it wasnt my ‘cup of coffee’ however after seeing so many gorgeous samples I had to get me one!!  Its so versatile and the two cards I’m sharing with you today and you’ll probably be surprised to know that I’ve even made a dude card with it!!

This first card is such a sweet card all in Pinks!

I just selected one of the patterened papers from the Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Papers and went with the colours in there.

Recipe

Stamps: Flirtatious, Happiest Birthday Wishes
Inks: Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose
Paper: Regal Rose, Whisper White, Flirtatious Specialty DSP
Accessories: Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon

For the second card I chose to go with one of the purple papers from Flirtatious – seriously how could I not??


Recipe

Stamps: Flirtatious, Happiest Birthday Wishes
Inks: Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder
Paper: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Flirtatious Specialty DSP
Accessories: Very Vanilla Seam Binding, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/4″ circle punch, 1 1/4″ circle punch, 3/4″ circle punch, Dimensionals

Step it Up ~  add rhinestones, pearls, paper flowers or glitter – or all of the above.

These are both such a queasy cards to do and I’d love to share them with you – these will be in my upcoming Beginner Stamper classes so stay tuned for dates for those.

Now how would you like to do my 6 Beginner Stamper Classes for free??  yes I said free!!

What a weekend!!

21 September, 2011 6 Comments

Good Morning!

How are you enjoying all this gorgeous Spring weather?? I love Spring when everything becomes new and the buds come out and all the flowers start to bloom – just love it!!

With Spring we also have something new to love too – the New Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalogue!!  Its started on 1st September and if you dont already have a copy please contact me to arrange your copy today! Being September it also means lots of birthdays for my family and that of my dear friend Lisa.  Since joining Stampin’ Up! I’ve met the nicest people and Lisa has become one of my closest and dearest friends.

Lisa and I had our 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalogue launch this past Saturday and the weeks beforehand were spent making a tonne of samples so at least I should have some pretties to share with you over the next few weeks!  We had a great day and I hope all the ladies who attended had a great time too.  We had door prizes, mystery hostess and a ‘vote to win’ prize as well. Its was also a little bit of a birthday bash as we both have our birthdays in September and had the yummiest Caramel Torte to celebrate!

Here are the make n takes for the day ….

Pennant Parade Make n Takes

Pennant Parade make n takes

We thought it would be best to highlight something that shows how well Stampin Up! coordinate their products so we went with the Pennant Parade Stamp Set and Pennant Punch.

Lisa created the box for her make n take.

It uses the Box #2 die  with the Big Shot and she’s also used the Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper, the Pennant Punch and some Linen Thread – how cute is this box? It does look small but you’d be amazed at what you could fit inside. Its a great idea for giving little treasures, gift cards, chocolates or jewellry.

If you have a close look at the Big Shot and dies in the new Catalogue you will be pleasantly surprised to see most of them have been reduced in price!  How sweet is that??

For my make n take I wanted to show just how versatile the Pennant Parade Stamp Set and punch is so wanted to make something other than a ‘pennant’ card.

I love the Pennant Parade stamp set as you can make just about anything with it as it has 6 greetings in the set which cover just about everything – Christmas, Birthday, Baby, Love and Thank You! There’s even a little ‘hello’ stamp which would cover everything else!! I am sure you will see many more creations using this set and punch in the future!

This is a very easy card to make – you simply stamp three pennants, fold them in half and stick them together and then pop them onto the card so you have a 3D tree! The pot & star are also in this stamp set as well as 4 pennants so you really have lots to choose from!

I’ve used the Polka Dot embossing folder on the Pear Pizzaz layer – I find using the embossing folders on a layer like this just lift a card so much. The Real Red frame is a Sizzlits die from the Lots a Tags set and the greeting (from Snow Swirled) is stamped on Whisper White and punched out with the Wide Oval Punch. Its all just too easy!!

I do hope you like our little projects and I do hope the girls liked making them.

Dont forget we have the Limited Time Mini Kit available for just $169 but this offer finishes on 30th September so if you were considering purchasing this kit please contact me as soon as possible and dont forget about my bonus “Super Stamper Offer”  which is good for just 9 more days!  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all

Also, I’ll be travelling to Canberra on 29th October for Regional Training and youre more than welcome to come along with me to that – ask me about all the details if youre interested.

Wonderful Tulips

2 September, 2011 4 Comments

Last month I was very blessed by a dear friend in  USA who sent me a ‘care’ package – it contained a pack of Wisteria Wonder Cardstock and a Wisteria Wonder Ink Pad – how blessed am I??

I also had a customer ask for a workshop focusing on different ways to use the Owl Punch and after some research found some gorgeous ideas and one in particular was this beautiful tulip flower …

How sweet is this card??

It is rather easy to do – just a little fiddly with the punched petals but once they are done its super easy!  Since I was making a tulip how could I not complete the card without using the Tulip Frame embossing folder?

The leaves are done using the wide oval punch – too easy!

Notice the flower and it looks a little shimmery?? well thats cos we painted some gorgeous White Shimmer paint over the top using the aqua painter and it just glistens!

This is a sweet simple card and one the ladies loved when they finished making it. I will also be holding some punchart classes over the next few weeks so keep an eye out for those!

Now I have a nice little display with all my creations using the Owl Punch which I’ll share with you over the next couple of days.

Manly Ferry

21 June, 2011 5 Comments

Well ok not quite but I dare say all Ferries have been anchored tonite – its blowing a gale here to say the least!

I’ve often said how I struggle with cards for those of the male variety but when I saw this gorgeous a la carte stamp Sail Away I just knew it would be perfect for many males and being an a la carte stamp and sold by itself its very affordable and suites any budget!

You simply do just need to add Ink & Cardstock!

Here’s a great super queasy card ….

I made this card for Mel’s workshop on the weekend and it really was put together in just a matter of minutes so you could whip one of these up while youre having a cuppa if need be – and your coffee wouldnt even go cold!

You could use this card for absolutely any occasion from ‘Thinking of You’ like I’ve done to birthday wishes or even a sympathy card.

Its simply just four different colours in Cardstock and some Linen Thread and your done!  The colours I’ve used are Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Confetti White Cardstocks.

What stamps do you always go for when making male cards?  and whats your favourite colour combination for those men folk?

ETA … Just thought I’d clarify the ‘Manly Ferry’ play on words for my International and ‘not so local’ blog visitors. In Sydney (where we live) there is a place called Manly and which is surrounded by beaches and a very popular holiday spot and tourist ‘must do’ and they have Ferries (water taxi’s) that go from one side of the harbour to the other and around circular quay. You can read more about Manly Ferries here.

Sweet & Simple

5 June, 2011 8 Comments

Firstly I am uber happy to report that my Sydney Swans last night were victorious overe the Brisbane Lions :)   by a wee margin of 65 points!! Way to go Swannies :)   I mentioned that game in yesterday’s post and I had a few comments saying they hope I enjoy the game and yup I did :)

Now onto today’s share … this is a very queasy card that will be done tomorrow at Sue’s workshop. Its a case of a card sample in the Idea Book & Catalogue (p69) and since the card in the catalogue was a small gift card I upscaled it to a regular sized card for the workshop.

When choosing the colours I remembered the pretty colour challenge #158 from Stamping 411 …

How pretty are these colours together … very ‘springy’ dont you think?

So here’s my card …

Recipe
Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes
Inks: Real Red
Paper: Whisper White, Peach Parfait, So Saffron, Real Red
Accessories: Stampin Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Jewels – Pearls, Stampin Write Markers – Certainly Celery, Real Red, Peach Parfait, So Saffron

I do hope you like this card and now I’d best be off to make up the kits for tomorrows Workshop!

Have a wonderful Sunday

Strength & Hope Sketch

4 June, 2011 10 Comments

Here we are again at another Saturday and another Utah Divas Sketch Challenge but this one is a little special. I decided this week I’d use the Strength & Hope set and remind you about the wonderful Strength & Hope Campaign and how you can help.

Years ago it was always a shock to hear of someone who had Breast Cancer and sadly these days there arent many people who dont know someone who has either had the disease and survived or someone who has lost their battle against this horrible disease.  Many doctors/scientists are tirelessly working  to find a cure and here is how you can help.

Just by purchasing this gorgeous Strength & Hope Stamp Set you are helping raise funds to go to research for a cure – with every Stamp Set sold in every Stampin’ Up! marketStampin’ Up! will donate $2.00 to the National Breast Cancer Research Foundation – that means not only here in Australia but also in New Zealand, Canada, USA, Germany and the UK. Thats alot of demonstrators all selling these sets to help raise these much needed funds so if you’d like to help please contact me to purchase your stamp set today and help. Now for all the sets I sell I will also donate a further $2 per set to the McGrath Foundation here in Australia.

Now onto this week’s sketch …

Now … I know this will surprise some of you (especially Carol) I’ve flipped it and exchanged the long rectangle for a box but do hope you like what I’ve come up with …

You would not believe how hard it was to get a decent photo of this card and I’m still not entirely happy with this picture. The card is a very soft femine card and I’m afraid the camera just cant do it justice.

You can view the full details and all the links to the other Designing Divas at the Utah Divas International Blog here and the next Diva you need to skip along to is the lovely Ruthie … oh when you visit her blog be sure to wish her a happy birthday too!

Well I best go cook dinner so I can sit & watch the Swans game

Growing Green

29 May, 2011 7 Comments

I had all good intentions to get this card done and the posted before lunch today however when hubby asks “Did you want to go to Officeworks?” well you dont ask why you just ‘do’!

Here is this week’s Utah Divas Sketch ..

I’ve known what stamp set I’ve wanted to use for this sketch all week but just wasnt sure on what colours to use.  Now I just didnt know what colours to use and thought I could use the Sweet n Sour DSP but think I’ve over used it with the Diva sketches and needed a change and I then thought “Oh I’ll use the Colour Coach”!

The Colour Coach has to be one of the most underrated tools in our Idea Book & Catalogue and I should share it more at my workshops.

It has a swatch for every colour we have in the Catalogue and its all held together by a metal post so when the new In Colours come out in September you can just add them in.

There are cards up the front that tell you how colours work and how you should choose the right colours to go together.

Now on the back of the swatches there is something special …

I dare say this is ‘why’ it was given the name of  ‘Colour Coach’!  Just look at all the choices you get!

There’s a Creative Combination and a Getting Started Combination as well as a Dynamic Duo – now there is one of these combinations on the back over every colour swatch.

How good is that? You’ll never be stuck for a colour combination again! Now did you know this is not only available to Demonstrators? its available to purchase from the Idea Book & Catalogue for just AU$28.95.

The colour I wanted to use was Pretty in Pink for the flower so I pulled out that card in my Colour Coach and went with the Creative Combination of Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue.

I even went as far as to use the Dynamic Duo colour of Melon Mambo for my sentiment.

Here is my card …

I just love how this card turned out and really wondering why I havent used this Stamp Set before now? needless to say you will see quite a few more cards using this set in the future.

I do hope you like what I’ve done with this sketch and the colour combination and if you’d like to order a Colour Coach or the Growing Green stamp set then please feel free to drop me a line or give me a call.

Now dont forget what the other Designing Diva’s have created with this sketch and there are links on the Utah Divas Blog and the next blog to visit is the lovely Ruthie B and just keep following the links till you get back to here – dont forget to leave a comment for each of the Divas cos we all just lurv comments :)

Perk Up!

27 May, 2011 6 Comments

MMm I’m so lethargic at the moment I could use a Perk Up!!

You may remember on Wednesday I shared my ‘ikky’ Christmas Card and much to my surprise many of you liked it or maybe you were all just being nice and letting me down gently.

Anywho I loved that design and the card I’m sharing today actually is the first one I made in this design and fell in love with it – I made it for Nancy’s workshop last Friday and all her ladies loved the card and also happened to fall in love with the Lap of Luxury Designer Series Paper as well – funny that!

Here’s the card …

Oh how I love pink and purple together! I just love the Lap of Luxury DSP and will be sad to see it go in just 3 months! Oh my thats not long at all is it? So you’d better start stocking up now I think!

Now because you were all so lovely with the comments on my Christmas card I thought I’d share instructions on this card with you all so you can see just how easy it is to make.

You will need ….

  • A5 piece of cardstock for Base – I used Concord Crush
  • 4 strips of DSP 145mm x 50mm
  • Whisper White 60mm x 60mm
  • Concord Crush 65mm x 65mm
  • Pretty in Pink Scrap
  • Jet Black Stazon Ink
  • Concord Crush Classic Ink
  • Inks/Markers/Crayons for colouring
  • Curly Label punch
  • Morning Cup Stamp Set

Step by Step

  1. Fold A5 card in half & burnish with bone scorer
  2. Fold front of card back to fold line & burnish with bone scorer
  3. open card and layout & adhere dsp to sections (refer to image below for the patterns I used) and set aside
  4. Stamp Coffee Pot, mug and steam on whisper white
  5. colour as desired
  6. Adhere Whisper White layer to Concord Crush piece
  7. Stamp ‘Perk Up’ sentiment in Concord Crush onto Pretty in Pink piece & punch out using Curly Label punch. Adhere this piece to the back of your concord crush piece. Apply adhesive just behind the left side of the panel and adhere to front folded piece and your card is done!

You will notice on the above image of the opened card I used two pink pieces in the centre of the card – I’ve done this so you can easily write your message here and you have two panels if you need it. This way when the card is closed the message remains hidden.

I hope you like this card as much as I do and it really is a queasy design to do yet people who recieve them think they are wonderful as they are just a little different.

Let me know if you have any problems with the instructions and please share a link to the cards you make in this design as I’d love to see them by adding a comment and popping the link in there or email me a copy.

Happiness Shared – the tutorial

25 May, 2011 4 Comments

Back in Janaury I shared a card I created for my fancy folds class and just so you can remember or even see it for the first time here are some pix …

To view the original post click here

I had an early night last night so therefore when hubby started snoring at 3.30am I was awake so figured I’d get up and do some things – no use lying in bed getting frustrated cos I couldnt get back to sleep!

Well that idea was good in theory as all the ‘online’ stuff I couldnt do as we had no internet! Well to put it correctly “I” had no internet .. seems I shouldnt left hubby up alone with all those cables out last night! So I had to do things that didnt need the internet till 6.30am when hubby’s alarm goes off and I can safely wake him and advise of my issues.

Well this gave me the opportunity to get this card into a tutorial which I’ve been meaning to do since January and now you can have the tutorial too! There is a tutorial for a Swing/Flip Flop card on Splitcoast Stampers but it wasnt in metric measurements and it didnt fit in our standard envelopes so whats a girl to do but rewrite it to suite?

Latte Swing Card on Scribd (265)

Just click on the link above to download the tutorial and enjoy.  Should you have trouble downloading or following the tutorial please let me know

22 May, 2011 4 Comments

Well yes I know today is Sunday but I really wanted to do this week’s Sketch from Utah Divas International Sketch Challenge.

I have been on the go since Convention finished last weekend and went for a quick trip over to see my family in Cobden, Victoria and pop in to see my mum in the nursing home – a rather emotional time.

Then Tuesday it was driving back to Avalon to catch my flight home but not before having a nice relaxing lunch with the lovely Mel Sharp – thanks Mel for coming and keeping me company at Avalon – just as well it was Tuesday and not Wednesday ey??

Wednesday I just relaxed and tried to catch up on some sleep then it was back into creating cards and making up kits for a Workshop on Friday night and today I’ve been busy creating & cutting up kits for tomorrow’s Workshop – see told you I’ve been busy!

Soooo … without further ado here is this week’s Sketch ….

Inks: Jet Black Stazon, Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum
Paper: Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, Whisper White
Accessories: Stampin Pastels, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Very Vanilla 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon

I do hope the ladies enjoy making this card tomorrow and hope you like it too!

Dont forget if you hold a workshop between now and 30th June and your Total Sales come to $450 or more you will receive a bonus $70 to spend – so instead of receiving a Level 1 Hostess set and $40 to spend you will get a free Level 1 Hostess set and $110 to spend in any of the current Stampin’ Up!
