Autumn-Winter Mini Lauch 2012

Had a lovely day on Sunday 1st April , 8 lovely ladies gathered at my place to play with some of our new products. They were all so happy with the wonderful new products, and their projects they created.
I purchased a Sandi MacIver tutorial  http://stampingwithsandi.com/ to do this class, and she has so many wonderful tutorials to purchase.

All these wonderful ladies having fun showing off their creations.

The following photos are of the projects they all made.  A wonderful little memory box.

 The following are the 4 cards.  They are so beautiful, thanks to Sandi MacIver tutorials.

 

If you like these projects, contact me for purchase the  products to make them, or book a workshop and we can create one something like it at your very own home.

Card to Scrap Layout

I have often been asked why I do cards at a workshop, and not scrap layouts.  My answer to that was, you can turn any card into a scrap layout.  Its the same technique, and idea.  Here are 3 ideas that I used.

Firstly I have to thank my fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators for there swap cards at Regionals Melbourne 2011.
Thank you Lisa Jalocha (Melbourne) for this wonderful idea.

 This is my scrap layout, following the same stamp idea, stamp set and colours.
Stamp Set: Triple Treat Flower 125040
                  Happiest B'day Wishes 122617

                     Builder a Wheel and Lge Jumbo handle.

Secondly I would like to thank Kylie Slane - guest of Rachael Hecker at the Melbourne Regionals, for this lovely swap, and great idea.

Third and last one is using my favourite stamp set French Foliage.  Thank you to a demonstrator in the US http://stampingwithsandi.com/stampin-up-french-foliage-stamp-set/ for her wonderful card idea.
I cased this card, to the best of my ability, and turned it also into a layout.

MY DOWN TIME! CHRISTMAS 2011.

I managed to get a little down time for myself after Christmas.  My Dad's birthday is just after Christmas, so need to get a card made for him.  He is a mad cricket fan, and you can't miss the Boxing Day test.  So thought this would be appropriate for him. I used a retired Stamp Set and card stock, but still happy with the way it turned out. Happy Birthday Dad. (yes we won the 1st cricket match.)

A little scrapping time found too.  Lola came to visit Nan and Pop, and she is just a delight. She is just learning to get around, not crawling yet tho.

Stamp Set: Perfect Alphabet
Card Stock: DSP Regal Collections, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Glorious Green
Ink:  Pumpkin Pie
Accessories:  Petite Pennants Builder Punch,  White Bakers Twine, Circle Scissor Plus

Another Layout of Lola, she loves this Spring thing, has the best fun.

Stamp Set: Simple Serif Alphabet & Numbers
Card Stock: DSP Greenhouse Gala, Baja Breeze, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight
Ink: Early Expresso, Real Red
Accessories:  Big Shot, Both Alphabet Dies, Square Lattice Impressions folder. Brads

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and have a Safe and Happy New Year.

Christmas

Hello to All, 

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year.  Just thought I would put up a couple of quick posts before the big event.  I made these deco's, after being shown from one of my wonderful club members, Bev.  They are just wonderful.  Thanks Bev for sharing.

 I have used the wonderful Stampin' Up! fabric - Deck the Halls, the Big Shot, Scallop Square die, Fun Flowers Die and the new ribbon Seam Bidding in Cherry Cobbler.  Filled these with Lavender and they are a treat.

I created this card from a technique we were shown at Melbourne Regionals 2011. Cate Lynch from our home office showed us this great idea.  Thanks Cate.

Notice the shadowing with the words, and look at the new pennant punch, created this funky little Christmas tree, which is decorated with our Stampin' glass glitter.

If you would like to learn any of these ideas contact me now.

Happy Stampin'
