Shimmery Festive Friday

24 February, 2012 5 Comments

Good Morning!!

Its a busy day here today with preparation for tonight’s Stamp A Latte Team meeting and for tomorrow’s Big Shot Boxed Up! class for Tracey and her friends. Yes I know I could have done some preparation and kit making however hubby bought home a Samsung Galaxy Tab to ‘assess’ and see if I wanted so whats a girl to do??  Oh and there were these cute little boxes I was making too that a friend in the USA shared with me – you’ll see those over the weekend!

Well its time for another Festive Friday and here is my card for this week …

Shimmery Greetings

Recipe
Stamps: Curly Cute, Easy Events
Paper: White Shimmer
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Pear Pizzaz Stampin Write Marker, Poppy Parade Stampin Write Marker, Big Shot, Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder, Vanilla Velvet ribbon, Pearl Jewels

This one turned out to be a very classy Christmas card and one that I think will be very popular this year although I will need to stock up on the velvet ribbon as its only available until the end of March with the Summer mini catalogue.

Be sure you hop over to Nicole’s blog for all the details of the Festive Friday Challenge #7 and play along!

We are also half way through Sale-a-bration and you still have time to get those free stamp sets so be sure to get your orders to me or contact me to host your Stampin’ Up! Workshop by the end of March. These sets are purely for Sale-a-bration and do not come into any future catalogues so once March is over these sets will no longer be available.

I am also hosting a “Leap into it” online Workshop on Wednesday with it being 29th February and we all know that only happens every 4 years!  I’ll be offering free tutorials, an online cyber stamp and when you place an order of $100 or more you’ll be entered into my mystery hostess draw and receive a free make n take kit – but remember orders must be placed with me by Wednesday. Feel free to contact me if you need more details or have any questions!

Pretty Sketch

28 January, 2012 7 Comments

Morning all!!

I’m busy finishing off some wedding samples for a customer who’s coming to view them this afternoon – so hard working out pricing as I dont want to charge too much yet at the same time dont want to rip myself off for my work and time!

Its another Saturday – last Saturday of our school holidays here before the girls embark on a new year of schooling and with my youngest starting High School it is a bitter sweet time for me but glad they’ll both be in the same school now so wont need to worry if one is running late on the bus or not!

Being Saturday that means its time for another Utah Divas Sketch Challenge and here is this week’s sketch …

Diva Sketch 173

Easy enough … and look no rotating or anything …

So Sweet!

Recipe

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Bashful Blue, Peach Parfait, Regal Rose, Certainly Celery

How pretty and ‘springy’ is this card??  and what’s a ‘spring’ card without butterflies??

Mini Events

18 January, 2012 2 Comments

I did my first workshop for 2012 the other week and it was good to get back into the swing of creating and sharing what I love!

As these ladies were a mixed bunch I thought I’d show how versatile our stamps are and have had the Easy Events stamp set since the pre-order back in August but hadnt actually inked it up so thought this was the perfect opportunity!

Easy Events is a great set with 8 sweet little stamps and all with different greetings so you would have something for any occasion your celebrating!

I made a little set of 8 little gift cards and here is the first four ….

Cute hey?  Wish I’d thought to use the little Christmas one at Christmas!!

Here is the other four …

Cuter still!!

I love that tree Stamp!

This set makes for a great quick and easy card and as I said before – for any occasion.  Now it comes in Clear Mount or Wood and I’ll share a tip with you that I do for these types of sets.  As you have an image and words on each stamp I tend to slice the words off the bottom of the stamp. If I had wood mount I’ll mount the words separately on the side of the block.  This way I can use the image by itself or I can always use my stamp-a-majig to place the words under the image as they should be.  It also gives me the opportunity to mix n match the greetings with the images!  So for example I could use the two birds with the ‘sending you love’ sentiment – now that would make a sweet Valentine card!

I have more projects using this set which you’ll be seeing over the next few days so stay tuned!!

If you would like to see how very versatile this little set is then please contact me today to book in your workshop – dont forget Sale•a•bration starts on 24th January so everyone gets to earn free stamps & accessories!

Stitched Stockings for Baby

22 December, 2011 3 Comments

Here’s a little break from all the Christmas Cards I’ve been  sharing lately!

In October we had the special purchase of the Stitched Stockings stamp set and the Stocking Builder punch which is now available through the Summer Mini Catalogue. These two items were specifically designed for each other and no doubt for Christmas.  Now as you know I like to challenge myself and use non-Christmas sets for Christmas cards and items and I wanted to challenge myself to design a card using the Stitched Stockings stamp set and the Stocking Builder punch for anything but a Christmas card!

Here is a couple of baby cards I made using the Stitched Stockings stamp set and the Stocking Builder punch ….

Now yesterday Stampin’ Up! made an announcement regarding the Stocking Builder Punch.

Our occasion-specific mini catalogues allow us the opportunity to share the latest seasonal products with you and your customers, and we often carry over products from our mini catalogues into the following Idea Book & Catalogue. This time, however, we have decided not to carry over the Stocking Builder Punch (item 124095) from the 2011-2012 Summer Mini Catalogue into the next Idea Book & Catalogue. Instead we will offer other great designs in its place–not to mention a trendy, new design planned for next holiday season.

Once the current inventory of this punch has been depleted, it will no longer be available for purchase. We hope many Stampin’ Up! stockings will adorn cards and brighten holiday projects this season and look forward to seeing what you create with the next seasonal design.

So once the current supplies of this punch are depleted it will no longer be for sale.  If you like this punch and have not purchased it as yet then I urge you to place your order as soon as possible so you wont be disappointed and miss out on this awesome punch.

Here is a slideshow of some of the cards I’ve made using the Stitched Stockings stamp set and Stocking builder punch ….

Remember …

  • I have a special from now until 31st December, 2011 – all orders receive free shipping – thats a saving of 5%!  So the more you spend the more you’ll save!!

Holiday Lineup

21 December, 2011 3 Comments

As you know Sunday I decided I should really sit down and make me some cards and so I went to my drawer to find a set I hadnt used much for Christmas and Holiday Lineup seemed to be jumping and saying “pick me” … “oh oh .. pick me”.  So I did!!

I wanted a design that was fairly quick and easy as I needed to make a few.  I came up with a design I liked and then thought it was missing something and sat back and looked at it and thought … hmm it needs an embellishment of some sort.  I added a bow and wallah .. this is what I came up with….

Now for a closer view …

The Carolers

Rudolph and Friends

Frosty & Friends

Recipe
Stamps: Holiday Lineup, Contempo Christmas, Snow Swirled
Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Inks: Jet Black Stazon, Basic Grey, Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede

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.

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.

Blue Baubles

13 December, 2011 4 Comments

Are you all Christmassed out?? I am over going shopping!

I cant believe there’s still 12 days till Christmas and I’ve finished my shopping – its just the creating I have to catch up on and all I need is lots of time and a little energy – well ok .. alot of energy!

I was going through and uploading some Christmas Cards to my Facebook page to share some motivation and inspiration and found I have a couple of cards that I havent shared yet!  These were actually some we created for my Christmas in July Class and being the month July was I’m not surprised they were overlooked!

Here’s my Blue Baubles card using the Tree Trimmings Stamp Set …

I decided to pop the card in our tree to take the photo … as you can see our tree has taken on a Blue and Pink theme this year and do I quite like the colour combination.

This is a very simple card with a little Big Shot Emboosing and the very pretty baubles from Tree Trimmings which is such a cute and affordable stamp set at just $24.95.  You could make a heap of these cards without much effort at all!

Dont forget to check out the December Frenzy happening and if you would like anything to arrive in time for Christmas you’d need to order by Friday at the latest – so just give me a call and let me know what you’d like to order and I’ll have it sent straight to your door!  Cant get much easier than that!
