2010-03-11T16:51:00.002+10:00

Here is a card that I LOVE! The stamp set is choo choo and it is from the spring mini. I am really hoping that it goes into the next ideas booklet!

Happy Moments sale-a-bration

2010-03-10T09:05:00.002+10:00

Here is a quick card I whipped up yesterday using the Happy Moments stamp set from the current sale-a-bration. Using the note cards availble from stampin up I inked in black on tempting turquoise card stock. I used dimensionals on the card stock. I than chunky glittered the cake in blue and diamond. Using a tempting turqoise ribbon I knotted that and glue dotted on the side of the card. Quick... easy... effective!

embossed so swirly ~ whimsical words

2010-03-04T12:45:00.001+10:00

Here is the last cards Mum and I completed. This time we embossed. I used silver and Mum used black. We both embossed on mellow moss and we both used regal rose on our card. I also used brocade blue. The sentiments are from the current sale-a-bration set whimsical words.

Perfect Plum whimsical words

2010-02-26T08:24:00.003+10:00

Here are the next lot of cards mum and I made. Again we had to use 5 colours, perfect plum, ruby red, more mustard, close to cocoa, barely banana.
Mum used the eyelet border punch and I love how she created the side panel with it!
For further info on them, please leave a comment :)

Butterfly Prints Challenge

2010-02-24T13:21:00.003+10:00

I currently have my Mum up from Sydney. So last night (while waiting for Maddison to wake up) I thought we would have a bit of a play. So, we gave ourselves a little challenge. We used the color coach (great to use if you are a little lost for ideas Pg 127 IBC $18.95 #105796) We had to use the following colors:
Elegant Eggplant, Pixie Pink, Lavender Lace, Pretty in pink and Old Olive.
Using the Gorgeous butterfly prints (Pg 12 summer mini $25.95 #117711) and the butterfly punch ($30.95 #116629) we both created our cards.
I used the eyelet border punch ($30.95 #113692) and we both used the Light Pink Chunky sprinkles as well.
We both dimensioned our butterfly's. For further information on the cards, please leave comments and I will try to answer your questions :)
Check back over the next day or so as we ran another type of ideas session with 2 more cards. Hope that you like them!

Blush Blossom announcements

2010-02-22T14:49:00.003+10:00

It has been soooooo long since I was last on here and I appologize for that!
I am delighted to say that my darling Maddison was born on the 18th January and we are very proud parents indeed! We are now up to week 5 (can not believe how fast that has flown!)
Wanted to share with you all the announcements/introductions that I did for her. I embossed the fawn with clear powder and the "introducing" was embossed with silver. Probably was not a good idea to do al of them like that as it took forevr to do the two embossing colours and I made 40!

AM going to upload at least once week (if not daily) but please don't hate if I do not get around to it!

More cristmas cards from the "I Wish" scrap kit

I wish christmas scrap booking kit... Cards that we made

2009-11-12T16:09:00.002+10:00

Currently one of the items in the christmas promotion through Stampin' Up! is the "I Wish" scrap pack. I ran a class a few months ago that was organised around this kit.

Another Tree Card

Here is another tree card. I like the black and white look!

Christmas Lovely as a Tree Tree's

2009-10-17T05:53:00.003+10:00

I am very lucky to have in my hot little hands my Mum's lovely as a tree set. I have put off buying this set as I was afraid that all anyone would ever get from me would be cards with this stamp set on it. Now that I have it here, it is DEFINATELY going on my wish list! This is the most gorgeous set I have stamped with. I have made christmas cards, mens birthday cards, get well cards.. You name it with it since I have had it here. Here is a card that I love! I have seen this type of designed card on many blogs, and I always wanted to give it a try. Do not be too critical on me, as this was my first attempt!! Let me know what you think and if you have any cards made with this set please email me the pictures and we will aim at doing a special feature, on this set.

This card was made using Pacific Point card stock ~A great colour that I have used on several of my christmas card designs this year~ The border stamp is stamped in pacific point. I have based it on basic black and than used white glossy paper, baby wiped in pacific point and brilliant blue ink, and than just stemped the trees in the basic black over it. Than, me being me, needed glitter! So diamond dazzled glitter using the 2 way glue pen on different areas on the card.
Hope yu like it!

creating triangle tri fold using Stampin' Up!

2009-09-23T12:10:00.002+10:00

This is one of the current make and takes that I am doing at workshops. Everyone seems to love it! I know that I do. It is using the beautiful tea party designer series paper and the "A Flower For Al Seasons" stamp set. This stamp set is a relatively cheap set ($24.95) but very versatile! I think that the frog in the set is tooo cute! I have made this card basing it on black card stock, layering with a sheet of certainly celery and than overlaping with the "tea party" pink dots. I have wrapped around the main image with the green (looks too me like certainly celery) ribbon,that is free in a ribbon bundle this month for anyone who puts in an order over $100 (you get two colours of ribbon- see flier on blog)
If you would like to see how this card is made, you can hold a workshop, invite your friends over and make some stuff for free!! Please email me to find out how

Tri Shutter Card

2009-09-22T07:19:00.002+10:00

For my workshops, I like to ask the hostess what she or he would like to see made. I have a workshop on the weekend, where my wonderful hostess, had asked to see the tri shutter card. I have seen these cards and gee they look nice. But, me being me, never had ventured to make one. So I decided I had better get cracking and make one. I made this a few weeks ago, was going to post it, but the lovely Bec had posted one on her blog the same night and I decided against posting mine in case people thought I was a copy cat lol. Bec's blog is under my paper angels links if you would like to have a look at her gorgeous card.
So, with Mum up here I felt the urge to create!! This is what I came up with! I used pink pirouette as the base card stock. I really like this years in colors! I than added black as a border colour to the raspberry tart designer series paper. I used white ink onto two of my black squares and the gorgeous "Great Friend" Stamp Set, that is available in the mini, for sale until the 30Th November. I really hope that they add this set to the next years September release of our new Stampin' Up! idea book and catalogue.
SO AFTER a bit of measuring and scoring and folding I came up with this card. I really like it, and am planning on using this design of card into my November Christmas card workshops! After adding a brad with a pink rhinestone i was happy.
I hope that my hostess on the weekend likes it! I hope that you do

Gate Fold Card

2009-09-21T08:44:00.002+10:00

Here is my first attempt at the gate fold card. I love the idea of the card, but am not too happy with the colouring. I think a brighter colour would look much nicer. Am planning on doing it again using the washington apple DSP.
This card has been done using the perfect plum as a card base, and than I used the sprinkles stamp in perfect plum on pale plum cs. I brushed over the cs with the ink pad to give it that older look. I than used the "priceless" butterfly in the same way, and circle and scalloped punched it.

Briannan's card.. better late than never!

2009-08-27T13:44:00.002+10:00

This is the card that Briannan made for her friend. Sorry its taken so long to post, but with Julian being so ill (had him up to the Dr's twice as his breathing was dreadful and he did not eat for 8 days and had a nice temp that whole time) I have gotten his flu, yeah, love getting sick and not being able to take anything for it with being pregnant. Ended up with losing my voice for 3 days as my throat was so sore and infected, still have the flu now. But Julian is having a sleep and I have had 5 minutes alone on the computer...
So here it is Briannan's card. I think that she did a top job on it.

pop up card using great friend and so swirly

2009-08-15T12:26:00.003+10:00

I have poor Julian sick at the moment, think he must have picked up a cold somewhere in the last week poor darling. He has been up since early this morning coughing. Daddy and him are having a bit of a sleep so I took the opportunity to have a bit of a play. Briannan is going to a sleep over birthday party so we need a card. We both agreed on a pop up card. Now, I have to let you know that when I started designing the card we both agreed on what She wanted, well.. me being me, took over and created a card definately not suitable for a 12 year old. So as I am doing this blog entry Briannan has been left to herself to create the card that She wanted. After she is done I will post it on here...
This is the card shut so it fits into a standard aussie sized envelope. I used perfect plum c/s and versa marked in the so swirly roller... I know... sooooo unlike me lol! I have put two pink rhinestone brads on either side of the new Oval All punch set from the new mini... Only available until the end of November if you like it! I alo used chocolate chip ribbon on the c/sThis is what it looks like opened. I ued the butterfly from the Good Friend set, again, available from the mini until the end of november. I stamped it onto the ww base c/s in pretty in pink and than rock and rolled it on another sheet of ww c/s in perfect plum and chocolate chip and dimensionald (is that a word?) over the other butterfly. I also used the crop-a-dile to punch in an eyelet and threaded it with the same chocolate chip ribbon that I did on the base.

Workshops, classes... Christmas!

2009-08-11T13:26:00.002+10:00

Wow, do I have a busy few months coming up!
As most of you know I have organised my first Christmas card workshop for the year. You make 8 Christmas cards for a cost of $25! BARGAIN! If you are interested in coming and would like to view the flier please let me know and I will send it to you. Dates for the first workshop are 5Th September 1 -3 at my house. The same class will be on the 19Th September from 2 - 4.
A great way to get a head start on Christmas!
I have the next two workshops dates booked in Octobers will be held on the 3rd from 1 -3 and on the 17th 2 -4. Novembers will be 7th from 1 - 3 and 21st from 2 -4. if you attend these classes and bring along a person that I have not met before you will also receive $5 off your next class.

After some consideration on days and times etc... My wonderful customers have agreed that it would be a great idea if I hold open nights at my house for everyone to come and use my inks, stamps, punches, rolls etc... If you have an unfinished project, or would just like to have a play with all the cool Stampin' Up! stuff, you are more than welcome to come. Cost is $5 per person and will be held on the last Wednesday of every month from 7pm - 830 pm. If you are interested in coming please let me know and I will give you all of the details.

Mater Mothers Christmas Card Workshops... As you all know, our Paper Angel's group hold Christmas card events annually to help support with donations, the mater mothers bereavement programme, The official flier will be out some time this week with full details, but if you would like to get in early and secure your place the Pine Rivers workshop will be held on Sunday the 25th October. I will probably only be attending this workshop as I am pregnant and if I went to all of the workshops I would have too much fun, which could lead to an early delivery lol! In all seriousness, it is a great day, with awesome prizes, fantastic food and all for a great cause!
I will post up more information as it comes to hand, but it would be great to see the familiar as well as some new faces this year! Let's make it the best one ever!!

I know that this is not a very creative entry to my blog, but I hope to get some new samples on here from the new mini as soon as Julian remembers that He does have a sleep during the day and allows me o make some great things!

Take Care...

Upsy Daisy sunset

2009-07-22T14:15:00.002+10:00

Here is a card I demonstrated, and we all made, at my weekend workshop. As you can guess by the title, I used the upsy daisy stamp set as a shadowed sunset. Basically we used baby wipes and dipped them into one colour at a time. They were tangerine tango, real red and riding hood red and we wiped them across the white glossy card stock. We used stayz on on our stamp set. I than got everyone to eyelet border the black card stock and we snailed it on to Perfect Plum cardstock. We hand stamped our greeting in stayz on and stamped it on to our regal rose grosgrain ribbon which was than glue dotted onto our cards. Nice card for any occasion!

what do you do at a Stampin' Up! workshop?

2009-07-20T16:17:00.005+10:00

I have had a few people ask me how a Stampin' Up! workshop is run. Each demostrator has their own set of rules which they follow. I will gladly share with you what I do at my workshops and even show you a completed card or two!

At my workshops, the hostess is the person who gets everything I make at the workshop. So, I will usaully make 1 3D item, like a bag in a box, or something like that, just to demonstrate how versatile and thick the Stampin' Up! papers are. I usually than will make something that the hostess has asked for, it could be a scrap book page that she (or he) want to fit their album size, to a card with a certain stamp set.

Than the fun begins! I have materials for everyone at the workshop and we all create a step by step project, usually a card, that you all get to take home. Sometimes if time permits,we make a second card, step by step for you to take home!

During the wokshop I run a lucky door prize competition where you get the chance to win an item that I have prepared!!

Workshops usually run for an hour and a half to 2 and a half hours, depending on how many people are at the workshop and how tricky the items are to make.

I think workshops are great, they give you the experience of watching and even using, the tools that you may not have at home. Workshops are great to do with friends as you get to show off everything that you have created!

Here are cards from my last few workshops. The first two cards are from the one workshop that everyone got to make and take home with them!This top card is using the whisper white note cards. We used the Funky Forest roller with the chocolate chip ink. We used a small amount of o saffron under neath our torn and scalloped edged good morning sunshine DSP

This bottom card was made using Pale Plum and blush blossom card stock. We so swirly rolled in versa mark and we created a moving butterfly using dimensionals and coins. We scallop punched the bottom of our card and chocolate chipped a saying that we liked from the short and sweet stamp set. Here is a close up of our moving butterly which was scallop circle punched. I have been making this card since February at workshops as I get a lot of feedback about how easy but affective this card is too make.This card was made for my beautiful hostess at her workshop on the weekend. The hostess received this while everyone else got to see it being made. Jan wanted to see the spot on wheel put too use, so I created this for Jan. It uses the large flower from my pretties kit as well as a white pearl on it. The C/S is one of our current in colours "pink piroutte" the wheel is inked in the same colour. I rock and rolled the chocolate chip and pink piroutte butterfly and used a pop up glue dot under neath it, I than re-inked the butterfly in pink piroutte and cut it out and popped it onto dimensionals. I used the eyelet border with the chocolate chip card stock and overlayed it with the pretty in pink taffeta ribbon. I than used the curly label punch bundle (soooo loving this!) and chocolate chiped the stamp and used dimensionals to pop them on.

A few more questions answered about workshops...

Do I charge for workshops?

No I do not, I do however charge for classes where their are multiple things being made. These are usually advertised and payment is needed before the class.

What is the difference between a workshop and a class?

Workshops are when you get your friends, family around and we all make at least one item. Workshops are done to try to earn you free products and introduce your friends to Stampin' Up! Workshops are usaully held from 4 - 12 people, whereas classes are designed for a larger group, usually 10 - 20 people who are advised beforehand what they are making.

I would like top place an order, do I have to host a workshop?

Orders can be placed whenever you would like items, no you do not have to host a workshop, but it is more beneficial if you do, as others may order and you can earn free product.

How do I organise a workshop?

Just give me a call, comment to this post, or drop me an email and we can organize the date and time that would suit you.

Raspberry Tart.. delicious!

2009-07-09T07:33:00.003+10:00

This card was made using the Raspberry Tart DSP. It is basically placed onto black CS and mounted on to Rose Red CS. I have used the word love from the short and sweet stamp set using a marker, the markers are great as the stamp set actually says love you, so the marker saved alot of time! I have used a bit of hodgepodge to frame the word love and than used the circle fire rhinestone brads to add a bit of shimmer.

Bella Bleu me away...

2009-07-07T09:56:00.002+10:00

Hello everyone, guess what my gorgeous hubby got me? A new CAMERA yeah!! So I can post photos on here again. My internet is not he best, but I am getting a new connection this week, so long wireless internet!
Here is a card that I made for Ray for our first wedding anniversary, lucky for me the first years marriage gift is paper, so it suited me to a tea!
This is the card:

I used the bella bleu DSP onto a base of chocolate chip. I have also used the three little words set, again stamped in chocolate chip. I used my eyelet border on whisper white and black, it is a gorgeous punch! I also used some hodge podge to try and make the card a litle masculine. I just tore the black to give it more dimension on the card.

Father's Day Urban Garden Style!

2009-06-03T10:17:00.004+10:00

I am so loving this years new Designer series paper. This card has been made as a father's day card, I thought it was not too girly with the stripes, but would love some feedback on this one.

Please excuse the poor quality of the photo, Yeah... still the mobile camera ewww!

This card was inked in kiwi kiss on the whisper white c/s and base colour is the baja breeze. The DSP is bordered by basic grey.

So much happening but, not a lot to show!

2009-06-02T13:17:00.003+10:00

WOW, it has been so long since my last post I am so sorry!! Ray and I have moved into our own home, it is lovely, we are all very happy! I have done heaps of cards, but, I can not show you very well, my camera, which was only a year old, died on me... So very dissapointing, but I am hoping for my birthday that my dear sweet husband gets the hint lol.
I do have a few photos to put up, they are taken on my mobile, so they are not very good quality at all.

Here is a mothers day card hat I made using chocolate chip, pretty in pink and chocolate chip ribbon, watercolouring was used on this gorgeous flower from the beautiful level 2 hostess samp set "Echoes of Kindness"

This month there is a great special for hostesses, Stampin Up are offering an extra $40 for you to spend on stampin up produc, if you host a workshop and your workshop reaches $600 or over, so for a $600 workshop, not only do you recieve a level one or level two FREE stamp set, you all recieve $110 for this month and July WOW what a bargain! If you are interested in hosting your own workshop and creating wonderful items, feel free to contact me by email or phone to organise a date!

I love in colours!

2009-04-11T16:03:00.004+10:00

I am so disappointed that all of the old in colours have been retired, but I must admit that I am LOVING the new in colours! I absolutely love the tangerine tango! It is awesome I love it with a chocolate chip ink or ribbon with it, it is gorgeous, I have made up a card that i currently have at Bec's so as soon as I have it I will post it on here. The reason I am complaining about not having the older colours is because I came across a card I had made with the groovy guava, yet again, I had used the versa mark with the so swirly stamp wheel, Used chocolate chip ribbon on the top and topped it off with a pretties flower and pearl. I used chocolate chip on whisper white card stock and used hodgepodge over the top. It is very simple and as soon as I get some new in colour accessories I will be making up some more soon!

I have a lot of new cards to post on here, so when I am back from doing workshops in sydney and in maryborough I will post what we have been making in our workshops! If you are interested in holding a workshop I am fully booked out until May, please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to hold a workshop!
Happy stamping!

afternoon tea thanks with pretties

2009-03-07T09:22:00.002+10:00

Here is a card using afternoon tea paper which is in the current mini, if you would like this paper, you have until the end of this month to grab it, it is a great pack! I have used chocolate chip paper and groovy guava, and have used 3 pearls from the pretties kit down the bottom.

2009-03-06T06:41:00.002+10:00

Hi, here I have used the polka dot punches, from sab, and the so swirly roller. I have innked it all with chocolate chip and have used chocolate chip card stock, I have also used groovy guavy on the side, with whisper white ribbon and a rhinestone brad.

thanks....again!!

2009-03-05T07:13:00.003+10:00

This card is very simple to make, it uses the going grey as a card base, I have than stamped the bird from fun and fast notes in basic black onto the white card stock, I have than used orchird oppulance and lovely lilac from the bold brights family, paper pierced around the bottom corner of the picture and added a pretties flower and pearl.

another thankyou

2009-03-04T07:41:00.002+10:00

Here is another thank you card. I was just thinking how nice that yummy stamp set is, I do like it.

Again anothercard done on basic grey, the neutral colours (apart from vanilla) seem to not get used alot, may be it is the emo in me that likes it lol.
I have also used real red and whisper white. I have embossed the stamp in silver embossing powder and have paper pierced the edges and used the cropadile on the bottom. I have also used a red brad and a bit of real red ribbon as well.

thankyou card number two

2009-03-03T06:28:00.003+10:00

This next card that I made for Bron was pretty simple, except I keep forgetting how long it takes for white ink to dry! I always seem to have them smudge by the time I got to give them to someone or by the time that they have been moved.

This cards base is cameo coral, and i have paper pierced along the side, just before the basic grey.
I have than white inked the yummy stamp.
Sorry about the picture, for some reason the white kept reflecting which kept throwing on the flash.

thankyou

2009-03-02T11:37:00.003+10:00

A girlfriend of mine has asked me to make her some thankyou cards, So for the next 7 days I will be adding the cards that I made for her on here.

I hope that you like them :)

This card has been made using groovy guava C/S and chocolate chip layer. I have stamped in basic black the stamp from sab Yummy. I have used whisper white ribbon on the top stuck down with pop up's, I have also used a pretty's flower and pearl as an embellishment. All of these products -apart from the stamp- were products that we used from album in a day

I will definately be adding more photos as I get them. Mum took some photos on the day and so did the other ladies.

birthday cards

2009-02-22T07:29:00.007+10:00

Hello again. I have been a very good girl and have made up my birthday cards for next month yeah me I am so excited I have gotten them all done, I usually remember to do them the day of someones birthday! But before I put the cards in I just wanted to let you know that with the Stampin Up Busfire appeal, stampin Up are already able to donate over $15,000. So please keep your orders coming in for the stamp sets that are being donated the 50% But how great is that! Goes to show the aussie spirit :) Well done.

So here are my cards

This card was made using the embrace life set.. I so hope that this set is going to be in the new catalogue! I love it. I have also used the so swirly wheel in versa mark, again another stamp that I use almost all of the time! I have made this card as a pop up card, I used versa mark on the inside with the sprinkles stamp set. I used pale plum and perfect plum.

This card I made for my nephew Matty, I used the loads of love stamp set, again, another set that I use quite alot especially for male cards. I used the Jersey Shore DSP and stamped the presents from the crazy for christmas stamp set I coloured over them in the BB chalks. I have used Brilliant Blue CS and popped the car on dimensionalsThis card I have used polka dot punches from SAB. I have usedLavender Lace CS and embossed the hearts in silver and used the mats and punched the holes around the top of the CS. A bit of hodgepodge and voilla... I really like this card, It is for my cousin Donna for her birthday.

This card is what I have made for when Hayley is born. Very simple card, but i like it too. I have just paper pierced around the whole card and Punched out vellum it seemed to work better than a solid colour behind the pram, which I have stamped on white CS in blush blossom. Added hodge podge and just used the hostess stamp so many sayings.

Bushfire Appeal.

Baby shower fun and games

2009-02-08T11:23:00.005+10:00

Hi all. Well yesterday we had Sonia's baby shower. I was so worried that I would forget to take everything or that things would not go according to plan, as poor bubba Julian got a viral infection on wednesday, plus he is getting two teeth, so he has been sick, angry and cute all together. Long story short, misplaced the baby cups, and forgot to buy wool, luckily Sonia had some, and do you think I could find small babies? NAH I found plenty of big ones, but non small enough to fit into an ice tray, so my Mum suggested jelly babies! So Aunty Les picked them up for me.

We had several games to play. We had fill in the nursery rhyme. I grabbed a few nursery rhymes and blanked out some of the words, so whoever got the most was the winner. We played whos water will break first, hence the jelly babies frozen in ice trays, now I should have told everyone that the winner would be the first to say that there water had broken, but we ended up with 2 winners. We played guess the powder, I got talc, flour, sugar,salt and washing powder and everyone had to guess which was what. We played guess the bump size, Everyone had to cut a piece of wool to the size that they thought Sonia would be and whoever got closest won, suprisingly we had 2 winners, one was Aunty Les, the guesses were so close! And last but not least we played baby parts, Everyone had to fill in what parts they thought Sonia would want the baby (hayley) to have. All in all the games went for about an hour and I made prizes for the games. I put all the games into a box I had designed for Sonia and now She has a keepsake for her day. It was good fun, the cake was GORGEOUS and SOOOOO yummy! Now we just sit back and wait for Hayley to come!

The Prizes...... The FOOD!!!
The gifts for everyone to take home, I made up the shoes and brought a whistle and teddy bear toothpick, Sonia brought everyone bottles of pink wine.
The girl in question posing with the most awesome of awesome cakes!

Aunty Leslees prize. filled with a chocolate bar and lollies... mmmmm ... lollies!

The tinkerbell cake, Hayleys room is decked out in tinkerbell its gorgeous!

Brad checking out the games we were playing... NOthing suss lol!

Album In A Day Fundraiser

2009-02-04T05:26:00.007+10:00

Hello everyone. I wanted to say how much fun it is being a Stampin Up demonstrator. Not only do you get to create some great projects, but you also get to meet some wonderful, generous people.
Because of being a demonstrator I am one happy camper. I signed up late last year and since than I have meet some wonderful people, one of whom is now a very close friend. I have also found a generosity within the company. When Garry passed away everyone in the Stampin Up company was incredibly supportive, generous and sincere. After I returned home from Sydney I said to Bec, who is my upline and sister in law, that I needed to do something to create some funds. Together with Liz (Bec's upline) we have created a wonderful scrap booking album. I invite all of you to attend and I really hope that you do! It is such a great album and will be fun to create. Below is the flier that we have been passing on, as your invitaion. If you would like to come by yourself, with a friend, or with several friends please let me know so I can reserve spots for you. Payment will need to be made to secure your booking. I am hoping to get the order for materials in on the 16th February so it would be great if money could be recieved by than. If you do not know until last minute, just give me a call and we will try to arange something, but I do urge for pre payment so you do not miss out.

I wanted to thank Bec and Liz so very very much, for making all of this happen. Without your support I would still be sitting at home, trying to come up with ideas of what to do.

Bec, thank you so much. So very much....

If anyone would like to join this amazing team, please let me know and I will certainly have a sit down and a chat, or, if you would like to attend one of our team meetings please let me know. Our next one is on the 15th Feb which is a sunday night at 7:30. Cost is nothing to attend, but please let me know in advance if you would like to attend at Bec's house.

2 more cards... Haven't I been slack!!

2009-01-22T14:01:00.003+10:00

Here are 2 more cards for this weeks challenge. The first one I really like. I love its simplicity. I like the way it sits. I am thinking that the way it is designed can have many uses. I have used it as a mans birthday card. I think it would be a nice sympathy card or a nice mens get well card. I have used handsome hunter as C/S base and layered it with East Coast Prep DSP. I have used the flower from the embrace life set, inked it with handsome hunter and stamped on vellum. I have turned the DSP over and placed it with 2 silver brads, thus my 2 embellishments.

The 2nd card I have made has been used with the confetti scrap pack. I have used the stamps from crazy for christmas. I have inked it with black on vellum (Do you think i may like vellum?) and set it on yo yo yellow than used a silver round tag inked with so saffron. It is cute, yet again a unisex card i think.

Let me know what you think

Happy stamping

My luuuuuurve card!

2009-01-19T13:10:00.003+10:00

Here is a love you card that i made. As most of you know I prefer simple cards so I dont do alot of flowers and things. So this is a layered card done with basic black and real red. I have stamped the image with black staz on onto vellum and coloured in the back of it with the blender pens and real red ink. I have topped it off with the red fire brads. I have used the short and sweet stamps and the a little bit of happiness stamp set from the hostess level 1.

Personally, if i made the card again, I would not have so many layers, it is rather heavy for a card. But non the less I likes! Let me know if you do.

Bride to Be glitzed and prettied

2009-01-18T08:05:00.003+10:00

On our 3rd day now. So far the different themes for cards have been relatively simple, although i am dreading day 6 and 7. Today we have our bride to be card. I have stuck a dimensional behind the flower and have glittered it up. The stamp is (yet again) from our summer mini Big On Spring set. I have again used the sparkles as a background stamp. The colour combination on the card stock is Pink Passion and Lovely Lilac. It is wrapped around with the very vanilla 5/8" grosgrain ribbon.

The "Bride" was stamped with Stayz on on a glossy white c/s. I used the blender pens with the pink passion and lavender lace to fill in the letters. A pretty simple card. Let me know what you think

Embrace life thankyou style with Embellishements and Crystal effects plus a dash of glitter

2009-01-17T15:54:00.003+10:00

Here we are on day 2 of our make a different card week. I have used the embrace life set again from the summer mini. As my task is to use different colours every day, this one uses a few different bold brights. I have used only orange as a card base with tempting turquoise, pink passion and yoyo yellow as the card base. I have pastel popped my flowers and used versa mark. I have also cut out 3 flowers pastel popped them and used crystal effects with glitter and popped them on a dimensional. I stamped the thanks (from spring pictograms) onto a metal edge tag and wrapped hemp twine arouond the hodge podge and tempting turqiose tibbon. I have also attached a scallop circle punch to the tag. It took a while for the crystal effects to dry but nothing too long. Oh forgot to mention the small fire brad on the metal edged tag, i think it adds a bit more sparkle!

Hope you like it! Please let me know what you think!

A card a day for a week

2009-01-16T14:28:00.004+10:00

So I have set myself a challange to try and create different cards every day for a week. The rules I have given myself are, have to use different colours every day, all the cards have to be for different occasions (oh this is going to be hard) and each card must have an embeleshment.

So here is my card for day 1. It is a baby card. I have done it in bold brights using gable green C/S with wintergeen DSP. I have used the "cute" stamp from the big on spring set (available in the summer mini until March 2009) I have also used the pram from the current catalogue from the fun and fast notes set. As the background stamp I have used sprinkles in the gable green ink. I have embelished in Very Venilla ribbon. I have inked the baby jumpset in gable green and real red heart which i have used a dimensional to attach.

Let me know what you think. I am happy with it, hopefully the mojo is coming back in force!

Take care happy Stampin

Embrace Life

2009-01-15T08:09:00.005+10:00

Hi there all. I am trying to get my mojo happening for stampin again. I can not seem to get my ideas working though. Oh well its been a bit of a busy time hasn't it. I guess with everything it has become a bit of a task to take a step back and breathe.
Here are my first two plays for the year, the first one would have looked great if my card had not been moved and smudged ... argh!! The second card I have done was a case (an idea) from SSS. (split coast stampers) I like it, it did take a while to cut around the flowers, but, I am sure it would not have taken as long if i was using MY stampin Up scissors and not the kids lovely not sharp ones from school. Since being backwards and forwards to sydney I have misplaced my scissors (INSERT TEARS HERE!!) I am sure that they will turn up eventually.

On another note, I still have dates free to run workshops, so, while sale-a-bration is on, why not take the opportunity to try and recieve some free stamps! If you would like any further information please let me know and I will have a chat. my email is bellross@live.com.au don't be afraid to email me, i love getting emails!

Take care and happy stampin!

Hi, we have just finished our weekend of Christmas Card Classes. It was so nice to meet such lovely people. Thank you all for coming and bringing your own crafty ideas to the projects. It is amazing how many different looks you can get when several people do the same project. I was thoroughly impressed with everyones style. Thank you all again for making this weekend wonderful. I did not get photos from the classes, but I did just grab some with my cards and Leslee's. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and you are all more than welcome to attend the next class that I hold. I will be holding more as I had so much fun!!

2008-11-23T06:51:00.005+10:00

I had a play date, I had a play date!!

My lovely aunt, my buddy came over this weekend for my christmas card workshop She lives in Maryborough and comes to play quite frequently! Last night we had a bit of a play. Les had ordered her markers and was keen to use them (She lloooooooves the markers!) Anyhoo... We made 3 cards, basically using the same image, colours, but different layouts, brads and ribbon. We are so happy with our cards. Okay... so 2 were cased from the old stampin ideas booklet that Bec had given me the other day, but the other one was all us baby. Let me know what you think

This is Leslee's Loads of love card. She used some hodge podge on the corner stuck with a dimensional, it looks so affective.

Here is the tree from the loads of love set with a bit of vanilla ribbon and

red brads. We have versa marked the wheel down the bottom

This is my tree card. I have used the 2 silver brads instead two different looks with a set... gotta love versatility! This is my loads of love card, all (including the truck like Les) are with dimensionals. Again 2 looks.

This is our designed card. This one is my thankyou card. I have borrowed

the word sets from Bec, *waves at Bec will be buying this set in the

near future

Here is Les' one. How cute are these!!

I will be posting our Christmas workshop photos this afternoon. FUN FUN FUN!!

SO sorry!!

2008-11-11T13:04:00.004+10:00

Hi all sorry it has been a while since my last post but loads has been happening.

Bec and I did the under 8s day at the school, we had a good day with the kids making tags and us meeting some very nive people. Unfortunately we did not take any orders on the day so we were unable to donate to the school. :(

Julian had fun as well with Granny who took him to look at he police car and animals, here he is watching the stall for us!

I will be holding some christmas classes so if you would like more information please email me bellross@live.com.au

Speak to you all soon!! :)

November specials

2008-10-22T06:08:00.002+10:00

Looking for something different this year to do with christmas decorating, cards, home decor, ANYTHING in particular? Why not have a look at stampin up rub ons! They are gorgeous and so easy, fast and effective. They can be used on card stock, photo frames, scrap booking, glass, candles....

In November from the 10th to 30th November you can purchase rub ons at a reduced price. To qualify for the reduced price, simply spend $20 on stampin up products (postage is not included toward reaching the total) and you can purchase as many rub ons as you would like for the reduced price of $15.96 (normally $19.95) Each pack contains not only one sheet of white rub ons but one sheet of black rub ons as well!!

If you are thinking... awesome! I really would love to purchase these rub on packs but I am not sure what to buy to reach the $20 than I can solve your problem!

For the whole month of november stampin up are selling, individual stampin write markers for $4.95 (plus postage). If you have been looking at the markers, but were a bit worried about buying the whole set, or, you have not seen them but would love to try them out now is the time. Markers are a great way to add many colours to your stamps without having to reink your image several times over. They save time with projects and are quite easy to use, they are easier to transport than the ink pads and for that cheap price i know i will be purchasing a few!

If you would like to know more, or would like to place an order, please email me or call 0430188091 and I would be more than happy to assist you.

even MORE christmas cards... YES I am addicted.. where is Stampin annonymous?

2008-10-10T20:04:00.006+10:00

Hi! Well been pretty busy around here lately, with the preparations for under 8's day. Well, it has been busy but not only because of that!!

I have made up a card pack tonight. The stamps used are priceless and fast and fun notes. I have also used some printed paper as well. I am sticking with the greens for Christmas themes. They are pretty plain cards, but I do not have any other stamps for Christmas. So have figured green and red are pretty christmasy!

I have also made a card holder for them which needs to have some ribbon on it to tie... MUST get the crop-a-dile!

Here are the cards.......

Here is the card holder.... Bec came up with the design, isn't she clever!

I am thinking of holding some classes to make items with the tart and tangy set and also another class with hung up on Christmas stamp set. You will make at least 4 cards and get the stamp set. I am looking at $40 for each of the classes which includes the stamp set and materials for the class, If you are interested please let me know as spaces will be limited.

Obviously the price is just a guess at the moment until i see what i am going to make and of course which set but they will not be any more than $40.

More Christmas Cards

2008-10-06T09:24:00.003+10:00

Hi again! Just made up two more christmas cards from the "seasons of Joy" stamp set. Now, at the moment, I am borrowing this set from my upline, sister in law and all round yoda. *waves at Bec.

I am pretty sure that I will now be buying this set *hides from Raymond! LOL

This set is very versitile I have made alot of cards with it. It is in the spring mini and is only on sale until 30th November 2008. It costs $51.95 and is on page 22 of the mini.

I have made the following two cards with the bold brights colours.

Cards for under 8's Day

2008-10-05T16:47:00.003+10:00

We have been busy making cards for our under 8's day stall that we are holding towards the end of the month at the kids school. Here are some cards that I have made, tell me what you think!!

guess whos coming to sydney

2008-09-29T11:34:00.002+10:00

I will be in sydney to do some workshops. Free dates during the day or the night are tuesday 28th Wednesday 29th and thursday 30th. please contact me if you would like to hold a workshop on any of those dates. Before they scoot away!

More cards with simply sent card kit

2008-09-18T07:23:00.000+10:00

Another card that I have made (just than I am sooo fast- gotta love it when Julians asleep and the kids are at school. I was doing the "you and me"card that i had posted on here earlier with just the one flower in the corner) but it looked really plain. I have again used the black and white card stock to fit C6 envelope. I have also used the stamps and markers in the simply sent pack and have also used my own black stampin write which is NOT included in the pack. I think it looks pretty

The following cards I made last night and made one up this morning (I made it while Logann got dressed so that is how quick and easy they are)

this is the one i made up really quickly. It uses all the

products in the kit... I have used the ......for you as the

flower stem, it looks so effective on here!

This one is also made up with everything in the pack except the paper

with the Friend stamped on it is in the designer paper in the mini

I have made this up with the stamps and red pen from the kit, I have

just changed the paper. I have gone white and black. I think it would

look better with the one flower in the corner and the saying in the opposite

corner. Obviously I have also just used plain black ink. (paper and black

ink not included in the simply sent pack)

Product Spotlight: SImply Sent : FRIENDLY NOTES

2008-09-17T12:48:00.000+10:00

Hello again.... WOW what an exciting month coming up with Stampin Up! So many discounted items it is GREAT!! I wanted to show you one of the packs that are on special from the 4th to 11th October only. This pack is the friendly notes card pack and page 13 and will be 20% off the original price. Now I must admit that I was expecting alot of stuff in my pack but I thought oh it would only be enough to make the 14 cards only. HOW WRONG WAS I!!! I have so much left over. In this pack I got 92 mini glue dots (so no need to buy glue) I got one paper piece of dimensionals ( these usually come in three to a packet. These are used to make your item stick out and not glued flat.) I got extra brads ( the pin looking things - Yes- i also like how technical I am). I can not rave on enough about this pack.

Even the box it comes in is pretty!

Everthing that comes in the packs. This is a great way for people to test out the Stampin Up products. Plus, for those of us who are not very creative, it has step by step instructions on how to make two cards. With the left overs you can create what you want too!! And if you enjoy the cards as is, all you have to do is order the paper and you can make it all over again!!

This is all you need to make one of the card designs HOW EASY!!

This is the end product! I do not know why but everytime I take a photo

of the end product its ALWAYS blurry.. I hate that!

I will be making my own normal C6 sized cards with the products (bar the card stock) in the pack. I will be posting them up on here within the next few days! This set is a great set for begginners too advanced... Once again, the items included with the pack are way more than you need to creat the 14 cards! If you are interested in the card packs please let me know.

Thought that it would be a good idea to start my own scrapbook. I am making it 6 x 6. Below are three of the pages I have just done.

All are from the "confetti" pack and I still can not get over how much I have left after making the pages.

This Pack is for Briannans Birthday, she is turning 11 on the 25th September

This one is for Rays birthday

This is for Allanna's Birthday, She will be turning 6 in January.... Yes I know I am getting ahead of myself but who can blame me when I get to play with all this cool stuff!!

Please feel free to give me some tips or advice or comments on any of the things that I make. it would be great to get some feed back!

Scrapbooking pack!

I got my scrap booking "confetti" pack today. It has far more in it than I thought.

I have already had a play! Below is my first ever ON MY OWN attempt! So do not be too harsh!

I made the size of the paper 8 inches by 8 inches as the scrap book that Bec had made for Julian was that size. The photo is not the best quality I know but I will try to take a better photo later when the battery's are all recharged!

I am purchasing my very first Scrap booking kit. I am going to go the confetti style because we have had so many birthday's in the last couple of weeks, and more to come!

The pre made Scrap booking kits contain 3 sheets 30.5 x 30.5 of double sided patterend paper, 2 sheets each of 30.5x30.5cm textured card stock, in 4 different colours and 2 sheets each of 15.2x30.5cm self adhesive die cuts with 3 different designs.
There are 6 scrap booking packs to choose from and all cost $36.95 + postage. You get to create a MINIMUM of 4 scrap booking pages at 30.5x30.5.. of course this all depends on your creativity!

All of these kits can be found on pages 137 to 139.

I am going to cut my card stock down to 6" x 6" so I will be able to make at least 4 pages. But we will see how it goes and I will post the pages on here as I make them.
