Autumn Days

29 May, 2010 6 Comments

I hope you’ve been enjoying the bits from Convention I’ve been posting. Today I’m taking a break as its another Sketchy Saturday – Utah Divas Sketchy Saturday that is :)

This is this weeks sketch …

Now I thought to myself that I hadnt really changed anything on Carol’s lovely sketches for a while so it was time to alter it in some way so I rotated it.  Sorry Carol couldnt help myself once I realised!!

I have to say I loved making this card!  As soon as I saw my lovely friend Lisa making her Convention swap card I knew I had to make one with a grassy theme.  I knew what I wanted to do once I saw the sketch and rotated it – I just had to find a saying to go with it. So after searching the Idea Book & Catalogue I found one that I think fits.

Here is my card ….

I’ve used the wonderful Autumn Days stamp set. Now when I first saw this set I thought  “oooooo I like that” but then thinking about it wondered if I’d use it much but I’m happy to say that yes I do use it a bit. Its an awesome set for those man type cards and also ones for doing landscape stamping too. The Pheasant that comes with it is rather nice too!

The sentiment I used is from the Dreams du Jour stamp set – another I wondered if I’d use much which I have!

The patterned paper comes from the Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper pack.

This is a very simple card to make and I’d really love to show you just how easy it is so ring me or email me to book your demonstration in! June and July are already filling up so you’ll need to be quick! Or why not sign up and become part of my Stamp A Latte Team and I’ll help you with your launch demonstration and you get to keep the sales and the bookings!

Now its time to skip along to the very lovely Max’s blog to see what she’s made. You can also check out all those on the Sketch Design Team over at the Utah Divas International Blog.

Thanks for stoppin by

Lovely double pocket bag

27 March, 2009 5 Comments

I’ve been busy creating today so I’ll have some cute things to show you in upcoming posts.

doublepocketbagwithcardI have a few workshops in the upcoming week so had to get busy preparing for them! One of my beautiful hostesses asked me to show them the CropADile and the jumbo eyelets so who am I to say no??  So this is what I’ve made ….

I have made these double pocket bags before but never in ‘dude’ or ‘autumn’ colours and since it is now Autumn here I thought I’d go with the Outlaw Designer Series Paper since I have a bit of this still and only a few days left till its retired.

I am VERY happy that Lovely as a Tree has not been retired (insert cartwheel) as I just love this set so much and its so very versatile! Although i do think this is the first time I’ve used the large oak leaf as the main image. rustoakleafcard4doublepocketbag

I’ve just randomly coloured the leaf with my markers (Really Rust, Mellow Moss and Pumpkin Pie) and stamped it onto Naturals Ivory I’ve then stamped it again on another piece of Naturals Ivory so this second image is a little faded and the sentiment I stamped over the leaf for the card is easier to see. The sentiment is from God’s Blessings stamp set which has great sayings for any occassion and although the set is called God’s blessings the sayings arent all overly religious so it makes a great all round sentiment set.

Here is a close up of the little gift card – which measures 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 and fits perfectly into our bag so it can be slotted into one pocket and you could pop a gift card, voucher, small chocolate bar or sachet of  coffee in the other pocket

Now have you noticed what ribbon I’ve used on this card??

Yes we will have 1/4″ Chocolate Chip Grosgrain ribbon back in the new Idea Book & Catalogue – how good is that?? I know a few of my customers have been asking for it to come back so their wish has been granted!

It is so wonderful to work with a company that actually listens to their demonstrators and customers!

Hope you like this litle duo and if you’d like me to show you how to make this bag then contact me to arrange your demonstration or put your name down for my upcoming Bags, Boxes & Bows class.

Play Day!

14 May, 2008 6 Comments

I was talking to a friend a couple of weeks before the Stampin Up!® convention and mentioned how weird it was that although we only live 40 minutes drive from each other that we only seem to see each other at Convention and considering we’ve known each other for about 7 years we’d never got together before now.

So we remedied that and I took my girls over to visit her and her girls during the school holidays and it was a good day even though it kept raining and the girls ended up inside most of the day – now trust me when I say it can get a tad noisy with 6 girls under 13 in one house!!!BrocadeRustNikki

Well we had a play day today – Nikki came over and I showed her how to make those Mini Pocket Books I did the other week and she showed me how to make this gorgeous Brocade Basics card she made last week.

I just love these earthy colour and the colours of Autumn which we are now in. This card is so stunning and elegant.

Thanks Nikki for coming over today and showing me this gorgeous card.

After Nikki left I decided to sit down and work out what to order for my product bonus from Stampin’ Up!® Once to achieve certain levels you are now rewarded with a product bonus and since I became Manager in April I was able to order $300 in product bonus – how cool is that?? All that just for sharing what you love with others! What’s not to love about Stampin’ Up!® and yes Brocade Basics is one of the sets I ordered.

So if you would like to find out more about the awesome benefits of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator feel free to email or ring me today.
