NEW PRODUCT PLAYTIME

I just got an order in and was excited to be able to create with the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper which I was able to choose as my FREE gift during Sale-a-Bration.  Yes, that is right, even as demonstrators we get to receive FREE products when we place our own qualifying orders.

This paper is just so gorgeous.  The colours are just so pretty.

I also received the Dear Doily Bundle.  Oh my goodness, the stamp set is just divine and there are so many ways to use the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies.  I think I must have spent at least an hour trying out all sorts of combinations with these dies. 

I really wish I had decided to purchase these earlier, as I believe that they won't be carrying over and are also low on stock here in Australia.  So if you are thinking of getting this bundle, please do so as soon as possible.

These are the 3 cards I managed to create in the short time I had to play.  All these cards have used the paper as a base to build on.  Love them all.   Which one is your favourite?

Don't forget that Sale-a-Bration only has another couple of weeks to go, so if you would like to receive this paper as a FREE gift then just place an order for a minimum of $90 (excluding shipping and handling) and you can choose this product for FREE.

MARCH STAMP CLUB - WATERCOLOURING

Sharing today the projects we created at this month's Stamp Club.

We tried our hand at a couple of different ways to watercolour the Lovely Lattice Stamp Set.  Lovely Lattice is a FREE Sale-a-Bration set which is so versatile and has so many possibilities for its use.

As these cards were Stamp Club projects I can't share instructions on how I created them (as these are exclusive to my Stamp Club members).

Stamp Club is a monthly club and is great for slowly building up your stash of products.  There is a minimum spend each month and each month one member becomes the hostess and receives the hostess benefits. 

If you would like to find out more about how you can become a member of a Stamp Club or how it all works, please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will send out some information.

CLASSIC GARAGE

A few cards created with the Classic Garage Suite. 

The cards range from very simple (the black and white version) for the beginner crafter to a step up for the next level crafter (green and orange versions) to a card for the crafter who likes to add lots of bits and pieces (yellow version).

Over the next few days I will share with you the details of each of these cards.

Will be back soon.

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY

This is a card I created at my monthly workshop using the gorgeous Botanical Butterfly DSP.

I gave everyone a couple of pieces of this DSP, a couple of sketches and then let them choose some co-ordinating cardstock.

Everyone created something beautiful (not hard to do with this paper).  I have shared all the workshop attendees cards to my Facebook page but forgot to share mine.

These were the two pieces of the Botanical Butterfly DSP we each received.  You can earn this DSP for FREE by placing an order for a minimum of $90 during Sale-a-Bration.



I chose to use the spotted side of one of the DSP and to also cut out some of the butterflies from each piece.  For my card base I chose Balmy Blue.



I also wanted to use some of the gorgeous hearts in the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies.

I die cut some of the smaller hearts and also a couple of the pretty floral pieces from Balmy Blue cardstock.

All of these elements were then placed on the card front as shown in the photo.

Here is a closer look at how I layered the pretty floral pieces over the top of my heart pieces.  All the die cut pieces were glued down flat.

The middle butterfly was actually punched out of the paper using the Butterfly Duet punch.  The smaller butterflies were fussy cut.  Some pearls I had in my stash were added to the middles of the butterflies and then added to the card with dimensionals.

To finish off the card I stamped a For You sentiment onto a piece of Whisper White rectangle piece of cardstock and adhered to the card with dimensionals.  (Not sure which set this stamp is from).

You will also notice that I die cut an edging from Balmy Blue cardstock which I added to the right side of the card.

JUST ADD INK CHALLENGE #443 "CHOOSE TWO"

Today's project is a card I created for this week's Just Add Ink Challenge #443 "Choose Two".  I have chosen to use Embossing Paste and Colouring.

I chose colouring because I am not overly good at colouring, although using the Stampin'Up! Blends Markers are super easy and always look great, no matter your colouring skills.

The stamp is from the very beautiful Tea Together set available in the Occasions Catalogue.  There are Framelit Dies which cut these stamped images out perfectly, however, as I haven't obtained these dies as yet I fussy cut all the stamped images.

The Tea Time Framelit Dies are a FREE item you can earn during Sale-a-Bration with a $180 order (excluding shipping and handling) or the die set will be available for purchase in the next Annual Catalogue coming out in June.

The cardstock colours I chose to use are Rich Razzleberry and Petal Pink with the Shimmery White Embossing Paste coloured with Rich Razzleberry ink.

The teapot and flowers were all stamped on a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock in Memento Black Ink.

The teapot has been coloured with Pool Party Blends Markers and the Flowers with Rich Razzleberry and Petal Pink Blends Markers with a little bling added to the centres of the flowers.

The stamped pieces have all been fussy cut and mounted to the front of the embossed piece with dimensionals.

The sentiment is also from the Tea Together stamp set and has been stamped in Rich Razzleberry and die cut with a small oval framelit.

A small piece of Petal Pink cardstock has been die cut with a die from the Flourish Thinlets Dies.
