Sweet Butterflies

20 June, 2011 11 Comments

Wow I cant believe its been so long since I posted on my blog!

Needless to say things have been quite busy here!  With the Extra Hostess promotion happening I’ve had extra workshops so some have taken advantage of the bonus $70 in spending dollars just by holding a $450 workshop.

Now its not too late so if you’d like to have a party within the next 10 days or even hold a catalogue party then please contact me for details or to book in. If you decide to go down the Catalogue Party road then I will give you and your ‘guests’ free postage on your orders!

Here is a card that I made for a workshop with the lovely Michelle and her friends a couple of weeks ago  …

Framed Butterflies

I just love this card and so has everyone who has made it over the last few weeks. Its such a queasy card!

Here is the card side-on so you can see the dimension in the butterflies and I just love Elegant Eggplant and Cherry Cobbler together – and I mean love it!

Now one of the reasons for my absence can be summed up in one photo ….

Yup I finally got a new car and it smells sooo good and I love love love it!!

Doesnt the neighbour’s wattle look awesome!?!

My poor old Magna Wagon was really getting very old and starting to show signs of being an 18 year old car … and you could hear her moan so not a good sign.

So if you’d like to see my new Stampin Mobile then book me in for a workshop or party … there’s a great special coming for July so be sure to book your dates in as soon as possible!!

Another Nature Walk

10 May, 2011 4 Comments

Good Morning!

Well today will be a mad rush to ensure I’ve packed everything and done everything I need to do before tomorrow’s flight to Melbourne for the Stampin’ Up! Convention which starts on Thursday.

I wanted to pop in and share a card I made a little while ago using the Nature Walk Stamp Set and the Tulip Frame Embossing Folder both new in the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue.

I wanted to show how you can use the Tulip Frame Embossing Folder for making various sized frames and mats.

You simply cut your cardstock to a little larger than the mat/frame you want and line up 2 or 3 edges of the cardstock with the frame and run it through the Big Shot.

Then you line up the other edges and the pattern you’ve just created and run it half way or 2/3′s through the machine and then wind it back – dont put it all the way through as the last part will flatten what you did in the first pass. Oh I hope that makes sense … if not drop me a line and I’ll do some instructions when I get back from Melbourne.

This is a very queasy card and I’ve just used my Stampin Write markers to colour in the flower stamp and stamp it straight down and then stamp a sentiment at the bottom.

As you can see you could use this card for any occasion at all from Sympathy to Birthday to Get well.

Now I’d better get back to that to-do list so I dont leave anything behind tomorrow!

Perfectly Plum for Mum

20 March, 2011 6 Comments

With just 11 days left of March Sale•A•Bration I thought it was a good opportunity to share a card I cased from the lovely LeeAnn Gref - she makes some very lovely cards.

As soon as I saw this card I knew I had to case it. One of the ladies attending my sister’s Stamp A Stack tomorrow asked for a Mother’s Day card so I thought this was just perfect ….

Now what’s not to love about this card??

  • I love doing the ruffled/gathered ribbon
  • I love the patterns in the DSP Paper Stacks
  • I love purple/plum/eggplant
  • I love free stamps during Sale•A•Bration

The set used in this card is the Sweet Summer from the Sale•A•Bration catalogue – its just so useful and really all you have to do is change the sentiment and this card would fit any occasion at all!

If you would like this set – or any of the other Sale•A•Bration stamp set then be sure to get your order to me as soon as possible and dont forget I’m giving a 10% discount on all order from now till the end of March.

I am also offering a special bonus to anyone booking a Demonstration in April & May – I have a bonus free stamp set to the first four to contact me and book in a date.

So if you want more free stamps then please be sure to email or ring me to book your Demonstration in – but remember the free stamps only go to the first four!

Well I hope the ladies tomorrow like this card as much as I do!

I’ve cut up all the kits for tomorrow so now I’m off for a little siesta – well it is Sunday and therefore a day of rest!

Inspired by …

4 September, 2010 4 Comments

As you know yesterday I was on a mission to make some ‘male’ themed cards and so after making yesterdays “So Autumn” card I pulled out my Inspired by Nature set as the grass stamp in this set is so good for ‘male’ cards.  I also pulled out Baja Breeze & Not Quite Navy inks and cardstock cos well blue tones are boy tones right?

This is what I came up with …

nqnbirthday

Recipe
Stamps: Inspired by Nature, Occasional Quotes
Paper: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White
Inks: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note Die, Large oval punch, Stampin’ Sponges

So what’s the verdict?  is it male? female? or is it both?

This is another one of those ‘multi use’ cards that if you changed the sentiment it could be used for any occasion.

I did create a few more cards with my Inspired by Nature yesterday so stay tuned as I’ll be showing them on my blog over the next few days. Inspired by Nature is a great set for any occasion and I’m happy to have it continue in the new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue and I really should use it more!

Hope you have a great Saturday despite the rain – but we do need it. If you are in one of the areas thats been affected by flooding then please stay safe.

Now if you happen to pray please pray for those in New Zealand who have been affected by that Earthquake early this morning.  Praying all my New Zealand friends are safe.
