New Catalogue coming next week.....

Hi there, 
he new Annual Catalogue will be live next Tuesday. It is a really lovely catalogue and I cant wait to show it to you. I have been busy making samples with my pre-order stamps.
I am holding my launch on 2 days this year to allow more people to attend. My first one is this Saturday 29th June and then again on Friday 5th July at 2 pm. I still have places in both sessions if you would like to come along. Just email me to book in.

 I thought I would show you one of the cards I have just made today. It is using the new stamp bundle of Mosaic Madness that has a punch and also an embossing folder to match. I am starting my Christmas stamp a stacks next month so decided I had better make some Christmas cards. I have used Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler seam binding. I embossed the background card with the new embossing folder. The greeting is from More Merry Messages

thanks for stopping by.

LBC Fundraiser

hi there, Once again its been awhile since I have posted. I have enjoyed creating new cards and also casing some for my annual fundraiser for Lesmurdie Baptist Church. I have also been away on a card making camp with my friend Pat Carr. Anyway this year we raised $1946 for the African Mission so I am very happy. I have shown some of the card on my Facebook page but forgot to pop over here and show them so here are some.
This first card is in Bashful Blue and using the set For the Birds. I have also used the Delicate Designs folder down the edge. Bashful Blue is one of the colours that will be retiring this year. I will miss it as its such a lovely shade of blue.

 This second card was the favourite on the day. I love this Island Indigo colour. It is one of the In Colours that will be coming in to the main Colour Collections along with Pool Party. The stamp set is Secret Garden.

 This card is also using a retiring colour. Regal Rose. The actual card we made on the day was in Pretty in Pink. Both mine and Graham's mum will be getting one of these cards

I'm off to get ready for my Stamp Club now but will return to show you more.
thanks for stopping by.


 

Where have I been?

Hi there, 
You may be wondering where I have been since my last post. Graham had a week off work over Easter so we went down to Mt Barker and Albany for a holiday. It was so nice down there and we went sightseeing in the Stirling Ranges. Since we have been back I have been busy designing the cards for my upcoming fundraiser for Lesmurdie Baptist Church. 
Lots of things have been happening with Stampin' Up! You can now shop online at any time you like by going to my demonstrator website here and clicking on Shop Now.  Of course you can still email me your order or phoning me but now you have the freedom of shopping when it suits you.
I have only just set up my DBWS so it has only a few things there but will add more to it as I find the time. 
Today I would like to show you a card I made while trying to decide on a swap for Convention. 
It is made using the Lattice Die with the Big Shot and then the lovely stamp Set Secret garden. I made this one with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant. We have just heard that Stampin Up are refreshing their colours and Wisteria Wonder is one of the In Colours that will be coming into the main colours. 

There is so much to update on so I will try to get back and tell you more soon. Have a wonderful day

 

Two Toned Embossing.

Today is my last post on techniques.
For this technique I used Gold and Silver embossing powder and added one in just a few areas and then tapped off the excess and then finished with the second colour. I think it looks really nice for something a little different. 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing all the different techniques that I taught at my training camp. If you want to know more about how to do each of these different techniques then you can Google them or go to Splitcoast Stampers and find these and so many more. 

Thank you for stopping by over the past week. 



 

Salted background.

This technique was fun to do. Everyone had different results. I found it hard to get a nice image stamping straight onto the salted area as it was rough, so would suggest using it as a background and adding a stamped piece on top. You need Glossy card and re-inkers, water and salt. 

One more technique to go so come back tomorrow for the last one.
