Something Saturday - Brightest Birthday Kit

-
Image
  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it:  I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action.  Its not a bad littl...

BIG THANKYOU to you all !

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share something with you all that I found out today.  Because of all you, my lovely customers and my amazing Team (The CreateAbles), when Stampin' Up! released the Top 50 Performing Achievers in Australia, I am in it!! ranked at #41.

I am absolutely blown away with this news, and I know that I couldn't have done it without all you guys, so I want you all to know how much I appreciate every one of you 😊

Some of you will know that I went down the Stampin' Up! event in Melbourne over the last weekend (it's called OnStage, and available to Demonstrators only).  I was privileged enough to be included in the Leadership session on the Friday evening, where we had some useful training and a lovely meal, thought I'd show you some photos of my time away:)

 So here I am at the evening session called Centre Stage (obviously very excited) lol
 On our tables we had this amazing decoration (sadly we weren't allowed to "borrow" them)
Moving onto the Saturday - the actual OnStage event, here I am with my level 1 team members who were able to make it from the left Jenny (behind) Renee, Me, Jenny, and Rosalie.
Again there were training sessions, a inspiring talk from Sara Douglas CEO of Stampin' Up!  Who reminded us of Stampin' Up!'s Statement of the Heart: "To love what we do, Share what we love, as we help others Enjoy Creativity and worthwhile accomplishments, in This we make a difference"

There was recognition for various achievements (I got my name up on the big screen!) and got to do 2 Stage Walks.
 

There was crafting sessions, the new unreleased Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-Bration catalogues were given to us, as well as being given new stamp sets and accessories! through Prize Patrol, and All Attendee GiveAways!  I ended up with 4 new (unreleased yet) stamp sets, as well as a few accessories.

When we got to our tables we discovered these (I'm glad Stampin' Up! staff have a sense of humour)

 
there was also this..... what we thought was a box for rubbish, ha ha weren't we wrong! after popping a heap of rubbish into it I lifted it up and it all fell out umm it's actually a tube lol!
I did manage to score some of those bits, (not the rubbish) so if you're visiting my Class room you may find them there........
Here's some of my team, hard at work....
And to finish it off these ladies:
are the lovely ladies who I was honoured to share an apartment with for the weekend, and this was our view from our 5th Storey Apartment:

not a bad view eh? that bobbly looking building was lit up with gorgeous red and green flashing lights in the evening, which really didn't turn out well on the camera :(

It was such an exciting fun weekend, if you join Stampin' Up!, you will also be invited to these events they happen twice a year (April and November) .  I'd love to have you join my team The CreateAbles, to find out more, click on the link above, or just ask me.

I hope this inspires you, I know the weekend has inspired me! And thankyou once again for your involvement in my Stampin' Up! business, you guys all rock!

God Bless love

Crafty Collaborations Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

    Hi there Creators, thought I'd join in this Sale-a-Bration Blog hop today, and I'm excited to see what others have created using the upcoming Sale-a-bration SAB products.  For those un-initiated  SAB is a special time of year where we have 2 months of FREE Products *YAY*: When you purchase $90 of products you get to pick a free product from the SAB offering, this year is the first year we're going to have 2 SAB's in a year there's another one coming in July too (it'll be different products) *DOUBLE YAY* lol Anyway there were a couple of products that I have to admit I wasn't so keen on, but at the time I was ordering it was a case of pick the stamp set I didn't have as others weren't available, then lots of people seemed to be raving about the Designer Series Paper that I ended up using (again I wasn't so keen on it)  However I have a thing about not being beaten by a stamp set, so I was determined to make something of it (especially as I can...

Hi there Creators, I have worked out our class cards for May now woo hoo!   Class dates are:  Tuesday 7th at 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 9th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 11th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  Class cost is $24 for 4 cards with envelopes.  It's important to book your place if you're coming to Laanecoorie as space is limited. Here are the cards we'll be creating: Using the beautiful Unbounded Love Bundle and Layers of Beauty (I've only used the stamp set here, but Oh My Goodness the bundle is so worth it!), also showcasing some of the new colours: Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie (guess which is which 🤣) Then back in time a little as this was in the mini catalogue (if you want it, buy it now before the end of the month while it's still a bundle price with 10% off it!)  Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (stamps & dies)  again showcasing one of the "new" colours, although Pretty in Pink is actually an old colour with a come-back! Moving onto t...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...
