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.   !!!!

Floating Locket Gift box. Australia and New Zealand..


Are you looking for a good template for a necklace (or earrings would work here too)?
I wanted a bespoke box for one of my lockets so I came up with this design.
For those of you who follow me, you will know that I love jewellery and I was thrilled to find out I could buy Floating lockets in Australia. They are like wearable works of art, and no two are the same....they are totally customizable.
 There is a link below the video over on Youtube if you want to find out more, but I see many more jewellery box templates in the future....ta dah!

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!

Rather than wracking your brain trying to figure out what looks good together, I will be posting a challenge every 2 weeks using a stunning mood board shot like the one above to get your creative juices flowing!
The Challenge is simple.......Create a card using any (or all) of these colours:
        Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango, Tempting turquoise, Basic Black, Kraft and Whisper White.
We are running this challenge over on AUSSIE STAMPERS Facebook Fan Page

Why not hop on over and join the challenge by uploading your creation! Don't be shy. We love to share!

Live inspired!
