Irresistably Floral Embossing Specialty Designer Paper. Australian Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today.
I am really enjoying this paper, and the easy embossing effects you can get with it. I have paired it with the High Tide Stamp Set, and used some of the retiring doilies, as well as the stitched Framelits, which will be carrying over into the new catty.

Here is a close up of the coloured embossed image, using versa mark, Emerald Envy ink and clear embossing powder.

The colour combo is the same for both cards, and I used sponge daubers to blend the ink. Retiring Watermelon Wonder is the card base for this card, and Daffodil Delight is the card base for the other one. The other colour I used was Emerald envy, and I love how they turned out.

Have a great day, and make mine by leaving a comment. Thank you so much for visiting,

                                                            Vicki x     💝

Incredible All-In-One Trifold Card made from ONE piece of Card Stock. Stampin' Up! Australia.

                                                                     
How adorable is this card! I was playing with an idea for a tri-fold card that didn't require any hinges to make it work, and I came up with this design using the Window Frames Collection Framelit Dies. You just need ONE piece of card stock to make the card base. How cool is that! ....very pleased with self obviously.....There is a video tutorial for this card on my Youtube channel:
                                                      http://youtu.be/T8c7Cy1-XsU

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!

Thank you to all for a great launch party!

We had such fun today at the new catalogue launch. There were make and takes, a design challenge, a mystery door prize and goody bags for everyone. The weather was perfect for crafting. Rain, rain, and more rain :)
The new catalogue is gorgeous, and I had some sneak peeks to show to our crafters. I'm loving the washi tape! I have made several cards using just washi and a stamp and they go together so fast. I think these tapes will be my new go-to item.
My big de-stash sale will continue until Tuesday's class so if you couldn't make it today and would still like to come find a bargain there will be more on sale.

Happy crafting!

Stampin' Up! Australia - By The Tide Masculine Card

My friend Rob is having a birthday today, and he loves to do a bit of diving, so the "By The Tide" stamp set was the ideal choice. It was super fast to put together, using Marina Mist as the card base, with a Whisper White piece for the focal image. I stamped another fish in Marina Mist inside the card on the bottom right hand corner, then I added 2 tiny rhinestones for the eyes, and they look cute and fishy!
