Side Spring Card

23 December, 2011 2 Comments

A couple of month’s ago my gorgeous friend Melissa Garland asked me to help her with a sample for her Presentation at Stampin’ Up! Regionals and she asked for this Side Swing Card.

So I got to thinking and here is the card I came up with …

this is a sweet little card and uses a single piece of A5 for the card base – its just the score lines that need to be mastered!  I love the flowers in this stamp set and the paper I’ve used comes from the Cheerful Treat Designer Series Paper pack which is available as a Hostess gift.

I made another of these for my recent Latte Project Class with a Christmas theme …

This one uses the Letters to Santa Designer Series paper and the Merry & Type stampset and for the inside I’ve inserted  a little pocket for popping in a gift card.

You can download the tutorial at SplitCoast Stampers here or contact me to book a workshop and I’ll show you how to make one of these to take home.

Christmas Door

20 December, 2011 3 Comments

Good Afternoon!!  Well the sun is out and the girls are playing nicely together so I’m enjoying this moment while it lasts!!

As I was making cards for me to send out I realised I had a card that I havent shared with you yet. Which is pretty sad considering its a card I started doing at my Christmas Stamp A Stacks last year! Its a wonderful quick and easy card and one I cased from the very lovely Jacque Pedersen in New Zealand.

Its simply a matter of spongeing and layering pieces of Whisper White cards to create the door then stamp & cut out the wreath from Welcome Christmas and attach a Merry Tag and a little ribbon. Oh and dont forget to add a brad for the door handle or no one will be coming inside!!  Can it get much easier than that??

Now when I was redoing the card the other day I thought the green wreath doesnt really come out on the green cardstock so I thought I’d ink up the wreath in Old Olive and then grab my Cherry Cobbler marker to do the berries and pop it on some Whisper White ……

I think it stands out a little more?

Now not all wreaths have little knotted bows like mine but have a great big bow on the wreath – a bit like this ….

Yes!! I think I like this one the best – which one do you like??

Dont forget the December Frenzy is still happening so if you have any money left you might like to take a look and grab a bargain as some things are up to 50% off!!

December Frenzy - grab a bargain now and save!!

Now as my Christmas Gift to you I am offering free postage on all orders from now until 31st December, 2011.  So click the banner above and check out the sale and see what you ‘need’ and email or ring me to place your order.

Post-It holders

19 December, 2011 6 Comments

Friday was the last day of school here in Sydney for 2011 and that means Teacher’s Gifts!

I wanted to do something a little more than just a box of chocolates so I made some post-it note holders and Caitie made some Whoopie Pies to pop in with the chocolates.

Here’s all the Post-It note holders I made using the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper Pack which will be part of the freebies for next year’s Sale•a•bration!

Actually the one of the bottom right uses paper from the Timeless Portrait Designer Series Paper pack.  I’ve popped in some Stampin’ Up! pens I picked up at Memento Mall at the Stampin’ Up! Convention in Melbourne.

Here’s a pic of a single Post It Note Holder ..

How nice is this paper?? I’m sorry to say that you wont be able to buy it … but I’m very happy to say that you can earn it for FREE during Sale•a•bration! There is also a gorgeous stamp set that matches the design on this paper – now you’re getting excited arent you??

Here’s the inside of the holder …

Comes complete with 2012 calendar!

The teachers were all wrapped with their gifts and here’s to 2012 and also means both girls will be in the same school with Emily starting High School – now just where did my babies go??

If you would like more information about Sale•a•bration! or to book a workshop in during the Sale•a•bration! period which goes from 24th January to 31st March 2012 then please contact me today to arrange your copy of the Sale•a•bration! Catalogue or book your date.

Seasoned Baubles

18 December, 2011 2 Comments

Here’s another of the cards that I found from my Christmas in July that I hadn’t shared with you.

Eggplant Bauble

This is another very queasy card and I think I’ll be making a few of these today and tomorrow as I’ve found I don’t have quite enough cards to send out.  This card is great and you can do quite a few and in different colours too!

Here is another the same but done in Marina Mist …

Marina Bauble

The greeting comes from my much beloved Many Merry Messages set – this stamp has been used so much since I’ve bought it the wording has rubbed off the label!

The bauble comes from the lovely Tree Trimmings set and you could use any of the bauble’s in this set for this card – I just love the design on this bauble.

Diva ‘scrappy’ Presents

17 December, 2011 4 Comments

Good Afternoon and welcome to another Utah Divas Sketch Challenge.

This is this week’s sketch …

Sketch challenge 167

 

Now seeing this sketch you’re thinking Christmas and Baubles arent you??

Well I went a little different and here is my card …

I have some scraps of the Letters from Santa DSP so decided to use them on this card.

This is also another of those ‘queasy’ cards and I’ve also used scraps to do the ‘bows’ on the presents – I simply punched the triple flower punch and cut the flower in half to create the ribbons and added a rhinestone jewel for a little bling!

I have to make some Christmas cards as I dont have the number I want to send out so here’s the same card but with a red polka dot ribbon …

Hope you like my ‘gift card’ and be sure to pop over to the Utah Divas International blog to see what the other girls have created.

Mocha Frames

30 November, 2011 3 Comments

Today I’m sharing a gorgeous project that was demonstrated by Melissa at Stampin’ Up! Regional Training in Canberra.  I loved it so much I just had to make one of my own and share it with my lovely customers :)

This is one of the projects we made at my first Monday Make-It Class this week.

Top Note Frame

This frame uses the flocked paper from the Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack and its so lovely and elegant.  You need the Top Note Die, Beautiful Wings embosslit and Beautiful Butterflies Die and the Creative Elements stamp set.

You could either pop a stand on the back as I have done or a magnet to stick it on your Refrigerator.

Just add a photo, 2012 Calendar or a stamped saying and it would make a beautiful Christmas Gift.

Dont forget today is the last day for the ‘Sale to Die for’ and get those special dies and folders at 10% off – click on the image below to view what  dies and folders are on sale.

Lovely as a (Christmas) Tree

29 November, 2011 5 Comments

I know this set has been around forever but I just love it!  It makes great Christmas and Masculine cards :)

At Sunday’s Christmas Stamp A Stack I showed the card that I have made each year ….

Christmas Trees

I wanted to show the girls who came how to start with a simple design like the Treescape above and then add other elements to it. So we started with the Treescape with the moon and then we added a greeting and Dasher ….

Christmas Trees with Dasher

Here we started with the Treescape & Moon and then added the Sleigh kids from ‘Welcome Christmas’ and a sentiment …

Christmas Trees with Sleighing Kids

You may notice the top card here has a sunset instead of a moon which was just dont using sponges and ink pads.

Dasher-licious

14 November, 2011 3 Comments

Well what a stinker of a day its been today … they forecast 34°C (95°F) and its currently sitting at 38.6°C (101.5°F)!! Too hot to do much than sit in the flow of the Air Conditioner and Ceiling fan!

Here’s one of the other cards we did at my Christmas Stamp A Stack last Saturday – and it also fits in with the Utah Divas Sketch Challenge as well!

Recipe
Stamps: Dasher, Snow Swirled
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla
Inks: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake
Accessories: 1 1/4″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Linen Thread, Jewel Rhinestones, Stampin’ Dimensionals

This is such a super quick and easy card and perfect for making Christmas Cards as we always need so many of them!  Its perfect too as Dasher is just $14.95 as it’s one of our A la Carte stamps.

Quick Tip  ~  If you dont have the Rhinestone Jewels you could use a dot of 2 way glue and your dazzling diamonds!

Dont forget the Big Shot Dies special … its a great time to grab some awesome Christmas Presents – and I’ll even wrap them for you if you ask!! Contact me to place your order today!

Stay cool!

Tidings of Joy

12 November, 2011 7 Comments

Good Morning!!

Well here we are at another Saturday and since I had to be up and dressed when the dudes came to mow the grass I seem to be rather organised for today’s Christmas Stamp A Stack!  Ready to go and over 2 1/2 hours before we start!!

Being its Saturday its also time for another Utah Divas Sketch Challenge!

Here is today’s sketch …

DSC #162

Utah Divas Sketch #162

“Cool” sketch hey?? Doesnt it immediately make you think Christmas and Snowmen or Penguins??  That was too obvious so I had to go a little different but still stuck with the Christmas theme ;)   Although I might still make a Christmas Penguin or Snowman card during the week if I have time. I have a busy week coming up with preps for Dad’s 80th Birthday and then my neices’ wedding on Sunday. Then because I wont have enough to do I’m starting Monday Project Classes on the Monday – Tuesday I sleep!!

Enough of my ramblings …. Here’s my card …

Pastel Joy

I have had this stamp since August when we could pre-order from the new 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalogue – I love nativity sets and this is the first one we’ve had in  a while so just about squealed when it was available in the pre-order. I just hadnt had the time to use it before now and I’ve also used some of the new Watercolour Paper and its so easy to use and with such little effort.  This is one of the cards the girls will be making today at the Christmas Stamp A Stack – I sure hope they like it!

One of the advantages of being a Demonstrator is being able to see the upcoming catalogues and ordering them before they are available to the Australian market – like now with the Summer Mini Catalogue starting 1st December I already have the catalogue and some of the gorgeous new items available. So if you’d like to also be able to see whats coming up please contact me today about joining my gorgeous Stamp A Latte Team!

Now dont forget to check out what the other designing Divas have created and you will find the links to their blogs on the Utah Divas International Blog. Dont forget to leave them a little comment love too ;)

Now if youre a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator located you can join the Utah Divas International group on Facebook.

Dont forget we still have the ‘Sale to Die for’ happening – selected Big Shot dies and embossing folders are on sale at 10% off and there’s also a Big Shot bundle including the machine at 10% off as well – these would make awesome Christmas presents and I’ll even wrap them for you!!  Contact me today to place your order!

Happiest Birthday

5 November, 2011 8 Comments

Happy Sketchy Saturday!!

Well here we are with another Utah Divas Sketch Challenge and I’ve been good and not twisted or turned or done anything to the Sketch this week!!

Mind you, I did hit a bit of a hurdle as the stamp I wanted to use for this card was missing from the set I wanted to use but being its from Stampin Up! I wont have a problem getting it replaced :)

Here is this week’s Sketch …

Diva Sketch Challenge 162

Looks a bit like a porthole doesnt it??

I was in Canberra last weekend for Stampin’ Up! Regional training and one of the make and takes was quite similar and since I hadnt actually made the card up I decided to use the pack for today’s card – was rather nice of Stampin’ Up! to do that for me wasnt it??

Anywho here is my card …

I did change a couple of the colours from the Stampin’ Up! make n take and changed the Stamp Set as well as they’d used Big Top which I’m still a little unsure about!  I also thought putting the greeting in the circle rather than an image changed it around a tad and we dont always think to make the greeting the main focus on a card.

This image shows how the card opens – its a bit like opening a Birthday Present isnt it?? I love how this card turned out and I love the effect of the Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon under the Pretty in Pink Cardstock.

The Scalloped Circle you see used here is from the Perfect Pennants die which happens to be on sale this month as part of the “Sale to Die for” promotion so grab it today and save!

I hope you like my card and please make sure you pop over to the Utah Divas International Blog so you can go visit the other ladies on the Design Team and see what they came up with!
