Wiper Card Tutorial by Dawn Griffith

SEPTEMBER CHRISTMAS CARD CLASS

I just love it when it is time to start creating Christmas cards

in our regular monthly card classes.

As this post goes to air these are the 3 cards that my ladies will be sitting down

and creating.

Our first card was this pretty card using the Gorgeous Grunge and Mosaic Madness

stamp sets together with yummy Silver Glimmer Paper.  The other colours

I used were Pistachio Pudding, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.

Inks used were Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and a touch of Smoky Slate.

Our next card was this one using the traditional green and red Christmas colours.

In this case I used Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green (my two favourite

Christmas colours) together with some of the new Season of Style DSP.

And our final card was this fancy wiper card.  I shall try to link the tutorial by Dawn

at the bottom of this post for anyone who would like to try this card

for themselves.  It was pretty easy and I thought very cute.

Birthday Card Compendium

Today I would like to share with you my latest Birthday Card Compendium which I created as a custom order.  My customer had already chosen the papers from the previous Seasonal Catalogue and it was so nice working with these beautiful colours together.

If you would like to check out the inside pages I have uploaded photos of these to an album on my Facebook Page which you can access by clicking here.

Projects from our Team Get Together

Just popping in today to share with you some of the awesome projects

 we completed at our recent Team Get Together.  

We had so much fun and each member of the team provided a make n take.

PROJECT NO 1 - STAMPED CANDLES

Our first project was provided by Cassandra and it was how to create a

beautiful stamped image on a candle.

Now I have tried this technique before and I wasn't very

good at it.  But, I must say the technique Cass taught us meant my

candle came out looking great.  I decided to go with a Christmas theme

and used the very beautiful poinsettia stamp from the Joyful Christmas

 stamp set available now in the Holiday Catalogue.

PROJECT NO 2 - VERY SIMPLE CHRISTMAS CARD

This was my project for the day.  I had decided on a simple theme using

mostly non-tradional products.  I went with the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set 

and Washi Tape and then added in a sentiment from the More Merry Messages set

and an Ornament from the Ornament Keepsakes set.  Stuck with the

traditional Christmas colours of Red and Green (in this case Cherry

Cobbler and Old Olive).

PROJECT NO. 3 - GIFT BOX AND GIFT TAGS

This was Heidi's project for the day.  A very sweet little gift box

using the Top Note die (still one of my favourite dies)

and little gift tags using the Chalk Talk Framelits set.

Aren't the Santas so cute on the gift tags.  Santa came from the Tag It stamp set which is 

available in the Annual Catalogue.  To stamp just Santa from this set we 

simply coloured Santa with our Marker and stamped.  Easy.

I should also mention that this stamp set is a set that Stampin'Up! donates $3

from each stamp set sold to Ronald McDonald House Charities.   To date Stampin'Up!

have donated over $1,000,000 US to Ronald McDonald House Charities and now we are 

able to do help with contributing  in Australia.

PROJECT NO 4 - SLIDING CARD

Our final project for the day was this gorgeous Sliding Card which was created
by Marylou.  How beautiful are the colours she has chosen.  Cherry Cobbler
and Silver Glimmer Paper.  Loved this project and will be creating
more of these in the future.

So there you have it, we all had a great day having fun chatting and eating and

catching up on each others news as well as spending the day creating

these wonderful projects which we will now all go out and share with

our customers and friends.

Case of Cute Stampin'Up! Card

 To have a bit of a break from creating lots of Christmas cards for the markets and because I just couldn't wait any longer, I thought I would case the gorgeous card that Stampin'Up! had shared with us in our latest Demonstrators Impressions Magazine.



So, to the left is the original Stampin'Up! version which I shared with all my Facebook Fans a couple of days ago.

The original version used the new A Banner Christmas stamp set.





And now, voila, here is my version.  The actual colours are all the same (I think my photo is just not as bright).  Who would have thought that Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate would all go together so well.

As is usually the case for most stampers, I didn't have all of the exact stamp sets etc the same as the original so I just used what I already had and I think it came out looking just as stunning.

And look, how they have used the grey Epic Day This and That Washi Tape.  Would never have thought of putting it on a Christmas card.


Supplies used:  Cardstock - Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Whisper White Ink Pads - Smoky Slate, White Stayzon, Crumb Cake,  Stamp Sets - Tape It, That's The Ticket, Designer Series Paper - Season of Style, Epic Day This and That Washi Tape, Silver 1/8" Ribbon
