Scalloped Moments

12 March, 2011 14 Comments

Wow!

What a day!

I had my monthly Stamp A Stack here today and had two new girls join us which in turn gave us a full table – I might have to put this on twice a month if more people wish to come – how cool would that be? I just love this job and being able to do it when it suites me and my family is just a double bonus.

Its been a busy day and I’m so grateful that I managed to do my Utah Divas Sketch Challenge card on Thursday :)

Here is this week’s sketch ….

OOOhhhh Scallops!!

When I saw this I thought this was the perfect time to use my Scallop Square die in my Big Shot – mind you I’ve had it for a month or so and hadnt used it yet so this was the perfect opportunity!

Here is my card …

Scalloped Moments

Yes I know … I’ve used Every Moment Stamp Set yet again but I just love that set!

Now you might notice that my scalloped square is not really a square on my card.  What I did was cut out a square using the die and then I moved the square along within the scallops and ran it through again to create the scalloped rectangle.  Easy :) so now you have two uses for the scalloped square die!

Now this die is in the Summer Mini which finishes on 31st March so if you want it or anything else in the mini then make sure you get your order to me before the end of the month – and dont forget the 10% discount that you get if you order with me before 31st March. All purchases of $100 or more also earn Sale•A•Bration sets as well so dont miss out on the discount AND the free sets!

Now why dont you play along with this week’s sketch?  Just click on the sketch above to go to the Utah Divas International Blog and feel free to post your link in a comment here – I’d love to see what you make with it!  I’ll send a RAK to anyone who plays along and posts a comment with their link.

Now the next Designing Diva is the lovely Ruthie Burkey so be sure to stop by her blog and see her lovely creation … oh and dont forget to say hello!

Take a moment

Good Morning and welcome to another Utah Divas Sketch Challenge!

I have a busy weekend with a Demonstration today and tomorrow. Thankfully they are both doing the same Make n Takes so I dont have to unpack tonite and repack again tomorrow.

Here is this week’s sketch ..

This past week I heard that the father of a demonstrator friend is rather sick in hospital so I wanted to create a card for him to let him know that people are thinking of him and praying for him.

Here’s the card I created …

I wanted this week’s card to be of a male/masculine theme and thing I’ve achieved that.

The background on the base card is done with a wheel called Sandy Speckles and I just love it! I’ve also used it on the piece with the sentiment on it.

I do hope you like my card and now you can skip along to Ruthie B’s blog and check out her lovely creation. Now just in case someone has a broken link or doesnt have their project up as yet here’s a list of all the Utah Divas International Sketch Challenge Team ..

Sweet Birthday Sketch

29 January, 2011 8 Comments

There is nothing like school holidays for the days to mingle together and you end up forgetting what day it is and wonder where that last week has gone!

Its hard to believe that the girls return to school next week and we’ve just had 6 weeks of holidays – where did all that time go? Mind you I think these holidays have been the most productive and we did the Christmas thing, then went to Victoria for a week to visit family and since coming home we’ve decluttered the kitchen, Linen Cupboard and both the girls’ rooms! Whew no wonder I’m tired!

Well its Saturday – I know this cos my Outlook tells me it is – so that means its time for another Utah Divas Sketch Challenge and here is this week’s sketch …

Now since last week I didnt rotate the sketch or anything I decided I had to do something to it this week so I’ve turned it upsidedown ….

I just love the Every Moment set – maybe due to those lovely Daisies and I love Daisies :) It is such a clean crisp image set.

I also love the Sweet and Sour Designer Series Papers – not sure if you can see it in the picture but the Rose Red paper layer is actually embossed! There are a few papers in this pack that are embossed and they are divine!

I also love the Stampin’ Up! Watercolor paper. I’ve tried other Watercolour paper but nothing comes close to the Stampin’ Up! paper.  The colours just blend so well on it and I’ve just used my Aqua Painter and the ink from my classic ink pads to colour the image.

I do hope you like what I’ve done today as I really enjoyed colouring this one and putting it all together.

Now its time to skip over to the lovely RuthieB‘s blog and check out her lovely creation for this sketch and here’s the full list of all the Utah Divas Sketch Design team …

A Little Bird told me …

17 September, 2010 3 Comments

A little bird told me that Stampin’ Up! have released a new Idea Book & Catalogue and that today Leonie is having a launch for the new catalogue!

How exciting is it to have the start of a new Idea Book & Catalogue??  All those new stamps, papers, colours, tools, accessories and bling! We have been waiting so long for this new Idea Book and Catalogue and I know that you wont be disappointed – there is something for everyone!  Actually there are lots of things for everyone!!

One of the new stamp sets in the new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue is the Every Moment Stamp Set.  Its a gorgeous little set and if youre a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and attending this year’s regional training you get this set for free!

Here’s a sweet card I made last week …

bluebird

Recipe:
Stamps: Every Moment, Just Believe
Paper:  Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White
Inks: Jet Black Stazon, Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, More Mustard, Soft Suede, Pear Pizzaz
Accessories:  Aqua Painter, Linen Thread

I love this little bird!  She is just so sweet.  This is another ‘queasy’ card and great for any occasion.

Now this is not one of the items the ladies will make at my launch and I do hope they like what they make and if you add chocolate to the mix you really cant go wrong hey??

Well I’d best be off and get this place and me ready for the ladies coming today.  If you cant make it today or tomorrow and would like to place an order please contact me – I’m offering some lovely bonuses for those who purchase, book a workshop or join my team so dont forget to ask about those when you order.

Elegant Embossing

10 September, 2010 11 Comments

Happy Friday!

I am on a group where we were given a challenge to do a technique that we havent tried before – to me that in itself is a challenge! So after thinking for a while I thought I’d try the Inked Embossing Technique – now I dont know if there is a correct term for this or not but thats what I’m calling it!

You simply ink up one side of a Textured Impressions Folder – you can swipe the ink pad all over till its covered or you can use your brayer to apply the ink. You then pop your cardstock in and run it through the Big Shot and awesome wowness :)

Here’s my card …

How nice did this turn out??

I inked up the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder with Elegant Eggplant classic ink and then ran it through with a piece of Perfect Plum cardstock. I just love it!

I’ve then finished off the card by adding some ribbon and the sentiment and gorgeous daisy from the Every Moment stamp set – new in the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue. I just love this stamp set and have made a couple of cards with it over the past couple of days and will share them with you in time.

Makes a very ‘queasy’ card (quick and easy – a new Onie-ism)

You can see how this card was made by coming along to my 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue launch on 17th or 18th September – just let me know which date you wish to attend – the day is free and there will be door prizes, make n takes as well as lots of laughter and special purchasing & booking incentives on the day.

Cant make it on the day?? No worries -  you’ll still receive the booking and ordering incentives which are …

  • contact me to arrange your demonstration and you will receive a bonus free Classic Ink Pad
  • If you place an order with me from the new catalogue I will also give you free postage on your order – so the more you spend the more you save!

Remember you must contact me before 18th September to arrange your demonstration or place your order to take advantage of these extra specials from me.

Also, if you join my Stampin’ Up! team before the end of September you will not only receive the bonus In Colour pack from Stampin’ Up! but you will also receive a bonus gift to the value of $35 from the new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue from me and my thank you to you.  There really is no better time to join that now!
