Back in November, I was fortunate to be able to attend the demonstrator only On Stage Live event in Brisbane. We all had a fabulous time meeting other demonstrators as well as a lot of the Stampin’ Up! staff from the Utah head office, playing with new products, business discussions and meeting many new friends… Read More: Falling in Love – On Stage Make ‘n Take »
For today’s card I have made an Easter Card which I believe could also be appropriate for a sympathy card, maybe also a wedding and christening card. Really quite versatile. My inspiration came from Beth Adams. The cross and the leaves were created by using dies from the Flourish thinlits, the flowers are punched with… Read More: Sale-a-bration – Avant Garden Background »
If you can’t tell by now, I love this stamp set. I had a great time playing around with it and coming up with several different projects. The image on this card is perhaps a little more solemn but still works well with the sentiment. What better way to feel alive than a walk in… Read More: Beautiful You – Re-revisited »
Just in case you thought the Window Box dies were only for creating the box here’s an idea using one of the dies in conjunction with bit of watercolouring to create a simple but elegant card. To start, cut a piece of Shimmery White card stock slightly smaller than the top layer. Spritz lightly with… Read More: Watercolour Window Box Card »
As promised here is another offering using the Beautiful You stamp set. This time using a different image coloured in Melon Mambo, using Watercolour pencils and a blender pen, topped with a touch of a Wink of Stella Glimmer (this may be a little more obvious in the next photo).

The set is somewhat reminiscent of the sketches on the front of old sewing patterns. There are a number of… Read More: Beautiful You meets Calypso Coral »
This beautiful box was created using the new Window Box Thinlit dies from the 2017 Occasions Catalogue and two products from the Sale-a-brations catalogue. Again simplicity adds elegance. The lace image was stamped in Sahara Sand prior to constructing the box, and the ribbon just finishes if off nicely. The thinlits dies can be purchased… Read More: Window Box »
Just a quick post today with a You Tube link from the lovely Shannon West from head office in Utah with information to share on Stampin’ Up!s new range of Watercolour pencils in popular Stampin’ Up! colours. While we have long had blender pens and aqua brushes that can be used in conjunction with our… Read More: Watercolour Pencils »
In late December, a certain awesome chap had his 13th birthday. As with many card makers, I struggle at times to know what cards to do for the young men in my life, not to mention the older men. Not helped in this case by me leaving it to the last minute. That’s one of… Read More: Gorgeous Grunge – Number of Years »
On Saturday I attended the Creative Inkers Team Christmas Breakfast. This is an informal gathering of demonstrator from as far afield as Hamilton. As part of that gathering we can opt into a team swap, which involves the participants making a number of cards or small 3D items all the same, and then swapping them… Read More: Birthday Bright – Christmas Team Swap »
