Diva Cupcake

30 April, 2011 13 Comments

Well … look at this two posts in 12 hours!!

I had to pop back in and share this week’s Utah Divas Sketch Challenge Card and I promise not as many photo’s as this morning’s post!

Here is this week’s sketch …

Easy enough hey??

I went a little different with this one and made a gate fold card – I love doing gate fold cards as they are so easy but just that little bit special.

As I was doing my Garden Journal yesterday I thought I’d highlight a couple of products from the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue so I immediately thought of the Create a Cup Cake set and matching cupcake punch – too easy!

Here’s my card …

I actually demonstrated this at today’s workshop and showed just how easy it all goes together and so quickly.  Having a matching punch to punch out your stamped images makes life (and making cards) so so easy.

Here’s a photo showing how the card opens …

I loved making this card and it came together so quickly to – gotta love those cards!

If you’d like to see this card or punch in action then contact me today to book in your workshop. If you book in before the end of June I’ll also give all your attendees a handout on different ways to use this punch and all the different things you can make with it from handbags to hot air balloons!  If you cant attend a workshop but purchase the Create a Cupcake Stamp Set and Punch in the one purchase before the end of May I will also include this instruction sheet. So email or ring me today to book in your workshop or place your order.

Now its time to click along to the next designing Diva being the lovely Ruthie Burkey – oh you gotta see what she made – its oarsome!

Why dont you play along and create a card with this sketch too? Just pop a link in the comments to this post and I’ll feature it for you!

Birthday Tess

12 July, 2010 4 Comments

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 ;)

Diva Sketch Birthday

15 May, 2010 10 Comments

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.
