Birthday Tess has been shopping ….

Yesterday I shared my Birthday Tess card and said I’d pop a gift bag on the card.

I am happy to report that Tess has now been shopping and has a lovely Gift Bag with a present inside for her friend.

It lifts the card a little dont you think? and who wants to visit a friend on their birthday without a little something in a gift bag?

The gift bag is simply a small piece of Designer Series Paper with some white tissue paper scrunched up and sticking out the top.  The handle was created using the Word Window punch.

Hope you like my little addition :)

Birthday Tess

I’ve had a few birthdays the last few weeks and wanted to use my Tote-ally Tess stamp set.

After deliberating for what seemed like hours (which was really about 20 minutes or so) on what papers to use I finally gave in and went with the gorgeous Cottage Wall Designer Series Papers.

As much as I love the Tote-ally Tess set and ‘had’ to have her I’ve struggled to use her in cards.  So I’m challenging myself  to use Tess more so I hope you will see a few different “Tess” cards over the next few weeks.

Why dont you make a card with Tess too and pop a comment with the link to your blog post or online gallery?

This one is simply a “Birthday Tess” carrying a little cupcake. Looking at the card now I could have added a little gift bag as well – I might even still do that and send through a photo once its done.

Recipe:

Stamps: Tote-ally Tess, Short and Sweet
Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence, Whisper White, Cottage Wall DSP
Inks: Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron, More Mustard, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Ridinghood Red, Going Gray.
Accessories: Big Shot, Lots of Tags sizzlits, White Taffeta Ribbon, Aqua Painter, Stampin Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Mini Glue dots.

One of my favourite ways to colour is to use my Aqua Painter and the ink pads to water colour and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Certainly Celery top went with the Rich Razzleberry pants. 

So who’s for a cupcake?

I could go one right about now!  Why not treat yourself to one today and why not grab a Latte at the same time to wash it all down! In honour of all the birthdays we’ve had lately of course ;)

Subtle Flowers

Its currently school holidays here at the moment so things are not going according to my routine as they usually do. I had a lazy day today so thought I’d give my blog a little makeover – what do you think?

You might remember in my last post the card I cased from the lovely Lynda Shrimpton – well Lynda is such a lovely friend she let me case a couple more cards – aint she sweet.  Most of my cards are my own creations and as I do many Stamp A Stacks I like to give my customers a few different choices when choosing what cards they wish to make so sometimes its nice to not have to think too hard – especially during school holidays!

Here are a couple of very easy cards using the Vintage Vogue stamp set.

How pretty and delicate is this card?

The flowers just trail down the card a bit like Jasmine on a fence or anything that stood still too long and too close!

This has to be one of the easiest cards I’ve made and the ladies on Sunday enjoyed making it too.  It is one of those cards that could be used for any occasion.

Recipe

    Stamps: On Your birthday, Vintage Vogue
    Paper: Pretty in Pink, Mellow Moss, Whisper White
    Inks: Pretty in Pink
    Accessories: Mellow Moss Stampin Write Marker, Pretty in Pink Stampin Write Marker, Large Oval Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch, Stampin Dimensionals.

    Now for the second card – another lovely soft card but in blue ….

    This card is the same layout and design as the other just in the landscape orientation. I’ve also added a row of the lovely leafy edge image at the top and bottom of the panel in versamark.  The top and bottom of the white piece is daubered in Bashful Blue and a simple little sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments set.

    Dont you just love the Soft Subtle range?  well if you answered yes and your a regular Stampin’ Up! customer you will know that many of the the Soft Subtle colours are retiring at the end of August.  However we have had a few colours start to run out already so if you’d like to grab some soft subtles before they are all gone I’d suggest you get your order in sooner rather than later.

    If the single colours sell out dont forget you can still buy them in the mixed family packs!

    Would you like to make these cards?

    I still have a couple of places available for my Stamp A Stack here on Saturday 10th July so if you’d like to come contact me today to reserve your spot. Its just $20 for 9 cards – oh and some very yummy coffee … and I’ll even make you a cup in my new coffee cups!

    Soft Roses

    Its a chilly Saturday here in Sydney and I’ve had a nice morning of shopping with the hubby and even managed to get me more things than the rest of the family – which doesnt happen very often. 

    I even got some new coffee cups I’ve been after for a while so a good morning in all.

    As its Saturday its time for another Utah Divas Sketch Challenge from the lovely Carol.

    Now when I first saw this one I thought ‘hmmm ok’  but then it dawned on me what I could do and what sort of a challenge would it be if I didnt change it any?

    So me being me gave it a good old rotation and this is what I came up with ….

    I really do love this Rose is a Rose set and will be sorry to see it retire in 2 months however if you dont have this set and would like to get it before it goes then you can and if you buy it before 31st July then you can get it at 20% off!  Pretty good deal huh?

    Now I did hear from the lovely Max today and she said she cant participate in this week’s sketch – something to do with her mother visiting from England and leaving on Monday and wanting to spend every waking minute with her.  Max I hope you have a wonderful few days and Mum has a lovely trip back home. So this week the next stop on the Utah Diva Sketch Hop is the lovely Ruthie Burkey.

    So skip on over toRuthie‘s blog and see what she’s created for this sketch.

    Diva Sketch Birthday

    This weekend is a special Utah Divas International Sketch as it also happens to be our lovely Sketch Queen Carol’s birthday!

    So Carol wishing you a doubly blessed birthday for today and may you be blessed with lots of love, presents and cake! Make sure you have an extra piece on my behalf!

    Now as I’ll be at the Stampin’ Up!® Convention in Sydney next weekend and Miss E has her best friend’s birthday party to go to I thought I’d make this card for Alanis now.  Means I wont stress on Wednesday night when I’ve realised I haven’t done it!

    Now Miss E and her friend are going through a ‘not pink’ phase so this is why we’ve gone with orange and red which are Alanis’ favourite colours.

    Recipe
    Stamps: Party Hearty, Sweet Little Sentiments
    Inks: So Saffron, Real Red, Only Orange, Pixie Pink, Summer Sun
    Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Washington Apple
    Accessories: Real Red Brad, stampin dimensionals, mat pack, paper piercing tool, circle scissor plus, snail adhesive.

    I do hope you like the card. I quite like it even though these are colours I wouldnt normally use but I do like the Washington Apple DSP and should really use it more – its suitable for both male and female cards and projects.

    I still have lots to get done before Thursday and am really excited to be meeting alot of lovely demonstrator friends I’ve made through the ESAD-SU group and some I’ll be meeting for the first time this year.

    Thursday night is the Manager’s Reception – this is for all demonstrators of Manager level (me) and above to meet the staff from Head Offices in Australia and New Zealand as well as Shelli Gardner (CEO and Co-Founder) and the team from the Home Office in Utah.

    Then Convention kicks off early Friday morning and finishes on Saturday night with the awards dinner.

    Its all very exciting and really not sure I can wait another 5 sleeps!

    Now its time to skip onto the lovely Max’s blog - Max is actually the lady who started Utah Divas group many moons ago and is very blessed as she works at the Stampin Up! Home Office in Utah, USA.

    Birthday Roses

    Good Morning all … its another chilly morning here in Sydney and the last day of school term so the girls finish up today for 2 weeks – that means sleeping in and lazy days – love school holidays!

    Today is the birthday of my good friend and downline Jossleen so Happy Birthday Joss!

    JossBdayThis is the card I made for Jossleen and will be going out to all my July Birthday Club members as well.

    I got the inspiration for this card from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalogue – from the framed sample on page 8 for the Sweet Bella Style Swatch. I was looking at it and realised that i dont have the little sprig of flowers in the frame so had to consult the recipe for the project.

    You might remember last year (and previous years) the recipes for all the samples in the Idea Book & Catalogue were in the back of the Idea Book & Catalogue. This year they decided not to include them in the Catalogue but they are available for download from the Stampin’ Up! website.

    Here are the links to download the supplies/recipes list

    So I then realised that the flowers in that frame were from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper in the Bella Rose pack. So then I went to cutting! I do love to cut images out and find it rather therapeutic so after making this card for Joss I decided I’d make it for all the July birthdays of my Birthday Club Members. So last night I sat down and cut away to my hearts content while watching TV.

    JossBdaycloseupAs you can see the the second image I ‘paper toled’ the rose in the middle to give it a little extra dimension.

    I really do like how this card turned out and Joss loved it too. Using the paper meant the flowers on the card were smaller than the stamps and it also shows you just how very versatile and all the Stampin’ Up!® products coordinate with each other.

    You also dont need a heap of stamp sets to make a pretty card – although it does help! Helps you and me!

    Have you joined my Birthday Club?

    I run a Birthday Club for my customers where once they have signed up I send them a Birthday Card which includes a special offer for them to use with their next purchase. It is free to join and you can sign up here

    Have a great day and dont forget to take time to put your feet up and enjoy a Latte!
