Next months challenge will be posted soon, so check back to see what it is. Your going to love it.

Only one sleep to go....................

One sleep to go

I'm so excited, only one sleep to go until the Release of the new 2009/2010 Idea Book and Catalogue. Woo Hoo!!!!!

And only a few day until my Launch Party on Saturday 4th April. It's going to be so much fun. Ive been busy getting everything ready. Your going to love the new products.

So I want to show you the scrap page we made on the weekend. It's just like the card we made at the last stamp a stack but turned into a 8 x 8 scrap page. We used the Ocean Commotion stamp set using Stampin' Write Markers to give the two tone affect to the cute seahorse. I am happy to say that this stamp set is in the new Catalogue. Yeh!

And here's a girly one.

Happy Stampin'

Ginger Blossom.

We had a great time at Kristy's yesterday. (hi Kristy) I love to see the excitement in people at seeing Stampin' Up! products for the first time and the excitement of making that first card. Just can't beat it.

Here's the card using the Embrace Life stamp set and the Lots of Dots wheel with Ginger Blossom DSP. All from the Summer Mini Catalogue.

And here's the large pouch gift bag that Kristy received for being a fantastic hostess. And the small pouch gift bag went to Sharon for winning the lucky door prize. Both full of goodies of course.

I'll be back with more to show you later.

Hope you had a great weekend.

Tri Fold Card

I'm combing two challenges with this card. Mel's challenge #13 this week is to make a tri fold card and Makeesh's colour challenge #6. For someone that's not an orange person I've used a lot of today. :)

I was really surprised at how quick this tri fold card was to make. You know I love quick and easy. I used Crazy for Christmas stamp set (retiring list) and the greeting is from Short & Sweet.

The inside, tricky to photograph.

Recipe

Stamp Sets : Crazy for Christmas (retiring list) , Short & Sweet

Ink: basic black, pumpkin pie, purely pomegranate, regal rose

Card: whisper white, pumpkin pie, purely pomegranate, regal rose

DSP: bali breeze (mini cat)

Punches: scallop circle, scallop edge, 1 3/8" & 1 1/4" circle

Accessories: satin ribbon purely pomegranate, blender pen, button pumpkin pie, stamp a ma jig

Have a fabulous weekend.

Nerine's Tuesday Layout Challenge

Not happy with this card for Nerine's Layout this week. I think the

chipboard tag is too big and the rub-on greeting is too small. I think if I get time I'll have another go because I really like the layout. To enter Nerine's challenge click here.

Recipe
Stamp Set : Boho Backgrounds
Ink : really rust, choc chip
DSP : Outlaw (retiring list)
Card : choc chip, really rust, very vanilla
Punches: scallop circle, 1 3/8" circle
Accessories : On Board Accents, Rub-ons Cherished Memories, sanding block, double stitched ribbon choc chip, hemp twine, jumbo eyelet pewter, crop a dile

Colour Inspiration # 47

I have to say I trouble with the colours in Kristina's challenge this week. Orange & Yellow are just not me. But it goes to show that any colour combined with choc chip can look great. Check out the other entries to see what I mean. click here

I've used the brayer on this card. First stamping the butterfly image onto gloss white card with choc chip ink. Then using the brayer to roll on so saffron and then tangerine tango ink.

Recipe
Stamp Sets : Garden Whimsy, So Swirly wheel
Ink : choc chip, so saffron, tangerine tango
Card : gloss white, confetti white, tangerine tango, so saffron
Punches : 1 1/4" & 1 5/8" square

Now for a card...

I found this one in my photo file, I've used the Time Well Spent stamp set (level 3 hostess set, retiring) using the crayon resist technique with the retiring In Colours, groovy guava, blue bayou, soft sky and whisper white.

Have a great day.

Left Overs

I had some circles left over from Christmas cards I made for the kids to give to their school friends, so it got me thinking about how to use them up. I don't like to waste anything. So I ended up turning the circles into flowers using the Stem Sayings stamp set for the stems. Another quick and easy card.

Recipe
Stamp Set : Stem Sayings
Card: old olive, real red, very vanilla
Ink : old olive
DSP: Dashing
Punches : scallop edge, scallop circle, 1 3/8" circle, corner rounder
Accessories: grosgrain ribbon always artichoke, dimensionals
