Best Birds Class: Make 6 Cards. Stampin' Up! Australian Demonstrator.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog.

There is something about the combination of navy and white that is easy on the eye, and yet makes a statement all at the same time.

 For this class I used the Best Birds Stampset #141525 and matching thinlits Birds And Blooms #141477 in as many different ways as I could imagine,  using Night of Navy and Whisper White as the colour scheme. 

The gorgeous Designer Series Paper Floral Boutique #141663 is the perfect accompaniment to this symphony of blue!

                                    Here are the finished 6 cards in The Best Birds class.

                               The White Organza Ribbon #114319 makes a pretty accessory 

teamed with 3 White Perfect Accents #138416

                        Here you can see the rhinestones I coloured with a navy Copic marker.

                       A stitched oval Thinlit is strategically placed inside to write the message on.

                             The tiny die cut bird needed a reverse image to complement him.
                                      The inside of the card reads "on your wedding day."

                       This card uses the open die cut shape, and the bird was saved for later.

Heart die cut with both birds "kissing" for an anniversary card.

Thanks for visiting. I hope to see you in a class soon!

You're Sublime : 2 Cards. Stampin' Up! Australia.

You're Sublime  #138737 wood Mount    #139309 Clear mount 

Who doesn't love a vintage caravan? This card is fun and carefree, just like the sentiment! 

*Layer some mint macaron Designer Series paper #138432 onto a Whisper White Card base.

*Stamp the image onto a Whisper White piece using Basic Black Archival ink

* Colour using markers and a blender pen in So Saffron, Mint Macaron, Basic Black and Calypso Coral

*Attach to the card front with liquid glue and add 2 torn strips of black wash tape

* Punch out 3 hearts from Calypso Coral Card Stock with the Confetti Hearts Border Punch and attach with snail adhesive. 

* Finish with a bow in black and white bakers twine, adhered with a mini glue dot.

This simple card is another pretty combination of colours, and you can make your own co-ordinating envelopes with the Envelope Punch Board #133774 using envelope paper #141697 or Designer Series Paper #138432

This  card is made using the same technique as the first, with the markers colours of

Mint Macaron, Smokey Slate, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Blushing Bride and WatermelonWonder.

*You can add a touch of Smokey Slate shadow below the wheelbarrow to "ground" your piece so that it doesn't look as though it's floating on the page.

*Stamp the greeting a second time on a scrap of whisper White 

*Use the Duet Banner punch to make the banner, and adhere the banner on top of the stamped greeting.

Bakers Box Artfully Adorned. Stampin' Up!

This sweet little box was made using the Bakers Box Die #138279 and some extra embellishments I had in my stash, along with a retiring punch.
I enjoy having a day using up "leftovers" for my own personal projects when I need a gift for that special someone.  It's fun re-visiting old stamps and punches, ribbons and trim and seeing what I can come up with.

Case-ing the Catty... "Gift From the Garden".

Here is a card I CASED (copy and share everything) from the Annual Catalogue, using the "Gift From the Garden" stamp set. It is stamped onto Very Vanilla Cardstock using Old Olive, Mint Macaron and Rose Red inks, with the words stamped in Tuxedo Momento black ink ( my absolute favourite black ink). I used the Washi Punch to punch out the strips and adhered them with snail adhesive.  A simple bow using linen thread is the finishing touch.

Sneak Peek: New Designer Series Paper and Embossing Folder!

 This card was made at the Onstage Event at the Hilton Hotel in the company of 9 lovely new stamping friends, who happened to be sitting at my table. It features a new paper suite called "Affectionately Yours", which is a specialty paper with copper highlights embossed into the design. It works beautifully with mint macaron and watermelon wonder cardstock. The card also features a new embossing folder: "Floral Affection," which has lots of possibilities for sponging, watercoloring and similar techniques. Another couple of products that will be available to co-ordinate with this suite are copper embossing powder, and fine copper thread.

Great ideas for using Project Life.

I love the way Andrea uses Project Life by Stampin' Up! She has some great tips on how to adhere the embellishments to the page protector, not the photo itself (genius!), and how to sort and categorise your photos so they are balanced and interesting.
