Sneak Peek Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration

Hi Everyone,
As I said in the last post Jenny came over today, and created the 3 cards that I showed you, and drum roll please here is my 1 card! lol

This card uses some of the beautiful Sale-a-Bration "Inside the Lines" Designer Series Paper, it's designed as a black and white image that you colour in 

(as Jenny was saying, how's your colouring-in therapy going?)

I enjoyed colouring it in, this is just a section of the 12x12 sheet, and there are 4 different designs.  Then again, with the Sale-a-bration products the saying comes from a cute stamp set called "Designer Tee"  I just love this particular saying , Don't Quit your Daydream ;)

Sale-A-Bration (SAB) starts on 4th January, for every $90 you spend on regular products you get to pick a SAB product for FREE (yay!)  there are also perks for hosting a workshop, and for joining - ask me!

Anyway I hope this inspires you with excitement of things to come!

God Bless love

Stampin' Up! Sneak Peek of 2017 Occasions Catalogue

Hi Everyone,
To continue the sneaky peeky bits...  Jenny Stewart (one of my downline) came round today and successfully made 3! cards whilst I did a heap of prepping work for my 8 Christmas cards class tomorrow, and finally had the opportunity to create 1 card! - well 1 is better than none, and Jenny did say I could share her cards with you all😊

 So, I thought I'd share Jenny's cards first, I'm going to get to play with this balloon at some point!
She has used the Up & Away Thinlit dies for this card and the matching Lift Me Up stamp set (no links at the mo, as it's not available till January 4th, unless you are a demonstrator)  however feel free to join my team, this is just ONE of the many perks of being a "demo"!

 

This next card (I might add Jenny likes Purple!)  She's used  the Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper (this one is current, in the annual catalogue, hence the link!)  She's also used The Balloon Pop- Up Thinlit dies, and matching stamp set Balloon Adventures.
This die is fabulous, it is also designed to go inside a card and be a pop out feature (I'll do a separate post on that soon), but doesn't it look great on the front of a card like this?

And last but not least again using the Balloon Adventures Stamp set and Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits.  this time also incorporating one of the new pretty Falling in Love embellishments



Do leave me notes so I can give feedback to Jenny, and I hope that this has inspired you to create!

God Bless love

Stampin' Up! Christmas Cards for classes in December

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my new blog, I'm hoping to be able to work out how to offer much more with this blog!
Here are the cards I'll be teaching you in December (obviously focusing on Christmas)!
First up is this cute Cookie Cutter Christmas Card using the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle

isn't the reindeer gorgeous?  I've also used the Festive Textured impressions embossing folder  and the Layering Ovals Framelits.

Next up is this beautiful Silver bells card, I'm pleased with this card, I hope you like it tooI couldn't help thinking of the Christmas song my Mum used to sing when I was young called Silver Bells!  I took a close up of the bells so you can see that they are silver embossed too. This card uses the Seasonal Bells bundle and the Softly Falling Embossing folder Oh and to cut the saying at the bottom (which is part of the stamp set) I've used the Bunch of Banners Framelit dies.

I'm so pleased with the cards for this month, This next one I just lurve the dove!

So this card uses the Sunburst Thinlit die to create a mask for the background, And the beautiful Dove comes from Strength and Prayers Stamp set, which has some lovely words in it too, however these words came from Star of Light Stamp set."

And the last card after not using any really "Christmassy" colours I thought I should add some in!

this card uses the Oh What Fun Stamp set, the Hello You thinlit dies, some stars punched out using the Confetti Stars Punch.  I was thinking with die how to attach it to the card, that would be an easy way, and thought how cool it would be to have 3 gold lines behind it, so out came the Tear and Tape Adhesive, And I'm really happy with the way it turned out!

Do let me know your thoughts on these cards.  If you can make it to my classes they are Maryborough (Vic) Saturday 3rd December 10am, Bendigo - Wednesday 7th December 10.30am, and Laanecoorie (my new Classroom!) - Wednesday 14th December at 7.30pm

If you know you can't make it but would like instructions, do ask me, and if anyone would like a kit to create any of these cards let me know

I hope I have inspired you to create :)

God Bless love
