Vellum Glimmer Butterfly Card. New Catalogue. Stampin' Up! Australia

Sometimes a small card can pack a big punch. Bling, pearls, vellum and 4 different ink colours come together beautifully in this tiny gem, which was inspired by a sample on page 10 of the new Occasions Catalogue.
This  3 x 3 card has it's own little vellum envelope, created with one of the free products in the Sale-A Bration catalogue, Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack #141019.
The Number of Years Bundle #140811, and the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper #140550 are from the new Occasions Catalogue.
Ink colours used were Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, Pool Party and Wild Wasabi.
The measurements for the vellum envelope (using the Envelope Punch Board) are, cut your vellum to 5/1/4" x 5 1/4" ( 13.3cm x 13.3cm), use one of the leftover pieces for your card, and your first score line is at 2 5/8" ( 6.7cm ).

New Catalogue Launch.

 The Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue is launching early this year. We usually have to wait till July in Australia, but this year you can order from the new catty at my online store from June 2nd.
I will post a reminder when the catty goes live.

These cards were made using the new "Sprinkles of Life" stamp set and co-ordinating builder punch.

What a start to the year!

Well, this year has gotten off to a great start, with a feature article of my classes in BE magazine, and a trip on the Royal Caribbean Line teaching card making on board! What fun! We had a fabulous sale in our last class and of course  Stampin' Up's! SALE-A BRATION is on till the 31st of March.

Thank you so much to my wonderful friends and loyal customers who make all this possible.

Memories of My Fave Papers...soon to be gone! Stampin' Up!

                                                    Stampin' Up! Australia

Would you believe I made a video of this darling card, then had to delete it because the soundtrack was totally out of sync! Gaaaa! Never mind, I am still giving you the photo inspiration and I will now proceed to tell you what went into the construction process LOL!

Start with your gorgeous Watercolour Designer Series Paper, cut a Daffodil Delight Card base, then cut a layer of Crisp Cantaloupe 1/4" smaller, then cut a DSP piece 1/4" smaller again. Do not adhere, because we are adding a layer of Daffodil Delight ribbon (I attached it to the back of the DSP piece using good ol' Scotch tape).
Punch out a piece of DD with the petite petals punch, then stamp 2 flowers on whisper white, one in DD and one in CC (ie Crisp Cantaloupe) then punch them out as well. For the Sentiment, I used Loving Thoughts, then cut it out using the Apothecary Accents die, and sponged some more CC around the edge for definition.  
I popped on some candy dots from the Brights Pack, then added an inside layer which looks just like the envelope, in that I stamped a Petite Petal in Daffodil Delight, then in Crisp Cantaloupe, then, without re-inking I stamped again (stamped off) to form the 3rd flower.
Hope you like the finished card. Leave a comment, and share the love :)
Now I'm going back to my movie editor and finding out how to fix the sync problem.   !!!!

Thinking of Joining Stampn' Up? WAIT one more week for the reduced price kit!

I am often asked by my customers and friends how to become a demonstrator with Stampin' Up!
One of the most frequent questions is, "Do I need to actually demonstrate the products?" and the answer is, of course not! If you merely want to join to support your craft habit....ah hum! I mean hobby! then that is perfectly OK too. Most demonstrators start out this way and some go on to bigger things, like earning extra money and building a career full time, but there is NO pressure at all from me or from Stampin' Up! to do so.

Anyhow, there is a special offer beginning in ONE WEEK which may interest you if you are still on the fence about joining:

 Beginning 27 May, for six weeks only, you can join Stampin' Up! at one of two great prices. They will continue to offer the traditional starter kit priced at $169 ($235 product value), but for six weeks only they will also be offering a reduced priced starter kit at the low price of $85 ($90 product value.)...and you still receive all the benefits of being a demonstrator!
This opportunity will only be around until the end of June, so check back on 27 May for full promotional details.
In the mean time, if you want to find out more about joining, here are some FAQs  
I will keep you posted!
