Launch Open House held on the

It was a great day and everyone enjoyed

May Stamp Club

This month's projects from Stamp Club.

I decided this month to use a few

of my favourite stamp sets and

 colours etc that are being retired at

the end of the month which I

will miss greatly.

Our first card was created using the

technique of inking up the largest

clear block with Lost Lagoon, Pear

Pizzazz and Pacific Point which

was then spritzed with water creating

this lovely watery feel background.

The retiring stamps we used are

By The Tide and The Open Sea.

Our second card was created

with my favourite retiring card stock

Lost Lagoon and the retiring

stamp set Banner Banter and

it's co-ordinating punch.

We also learnt how to create the

grid look background.

The flowers look like they have been

die cut from Lost Lagoon card stock.

They have actually been stamped with

Lost Lagoon ink and then die cut.

BALLOON CELEBRATION BIRTHDAY SHAKER CARD

Sharing a Shaker Card that I created

for a customer using the

Balloon Celebration Stamp Set and

co-ordinating punch.

Apparently, Shaker Cards are quite

trendy again, although I didn't

know that when I was creating this one.

I have used all bright colours as the

card was for one of my customers

young granddaughters.

I also stamped the inside of

the card with balloons and added in

a strip of the DSP which was leftover

from the front of the card.

Supplies used:

Cardstock - Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Yellow, Whisper White
DSP - It's My Party
Ink Pads - Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Yellow, Mint Macaron
Dies - Hello You Thinlits, Mini Treat Bag Thinlits (Bow), (Frame was created from a retired die)
Punches - Balloon Bouquet
Window Sheets, Diamontes, Twine

April Card Class

Sharing the projects we created

in this month's Card Class.

Our first card was a Circle

Easel Card using the gorgeous Timeless

Textures Stamp Set and my very favourite

Flower Shop Stamp Set.

The colours I have used are Rich

Razzleberry and Sahara Sand.

Our second project was a very simple

card using the beautiful Bloomin' Heart

Thinlits Die and a touch of

Glimmer Paper to add some glitz.

Our third project was created with the

 Party Wishes stamp set which is now being

retired.  The colours I used for this

one was Whisper White and

Island Indigo.

The cute little cupcakes have been

coloured with markers and punched with

their co-ordinating punch.  I have

also used Clear Wink of Stella to

add some extra sparkle.

ON STAGE

 So much has been going on in my life at

the moment that I just can't seem to keep 

up.

I am finally getting around to sharing some

 of the photos from On Stage and Centre Stage

which was held at the Gold Coast

Convention Centre in April.

My upline Petronela and myself both

were able to attend the Friday night 

Centre Stage dinner and training which

was just awesome.  A first for me to

be able to attend.

The gorgeous flowers on our table and our 

Centre Stage tags at our table settings. 

I forgot to take photos of my meal which 

for me was an Entree of Roasted Eggplant and

Swiss Mushroom Risotto with Roma Tomato, Asparagus and Salted Pepita Seeds.  Main course was Roasted Beef Fillet with Colcannon, Asparagus, Braised Pearl Onion and Port Wine Jus 

All extremely yummy.

I did remember to

 take a picture of my yummy dessert which 

 was Chocolate Marquise with Caramel Popcorn, Butterscotch and Vanilla Bean Creme Anglaise.

We also each received special gifts of 

an extra special bag.

Saturday was a full day of fun where

we were the first to receive the new catalogue.

We got to see lots of exciting new

products and came home with lots of

goodies. 

My downline Elizabeth and myself

excited with receiving our new

catalogue.

My downline Marylou receiving her

new catalogue.

APRIL STAMP CLLUB

Time to share our projects from

this month's Stamp Club.

As it has been a very difficult

month with the sudden death of my

father I really needed some

inspiration to get myself motivated to

create this month's projects.

So after quite a bit of Pinterest surfing I

decided to take my inspiration and

combine 2 cards that I found

and really loved on Pinterest.

Firstly, the style was inspired by this card 

created by The Serial Stamper.

And the colours inspired by this card

created by Kim Williams.

I did create my card as a standard

size version so that only the usual 1/2

sheet of A4 cardstock was used to

create the base card.

I also decided to stamp my flower using

Bloom For You Stamp which is

perfectly punched out with the

Fun Flower punch.

Our second project was a very simple

black and white card using the

sweet little deer images from the

In The Meadow stamp set.  Something

that you can whip up when you need

 a card in a hurry.

Golf Themed Birthday Card

Sharing with you today a special

order Male  60th Birthday Golf 

Themed Card.

The colours I ended up choosing

were Cucumber Crush highlighted

with Black and White.

Pretty happy with the way it all

turned out.
