Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

 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

August 2018 Team Day!

-
Hi there
well today we had our Team day, had 12 of us there, I really enjoyed the get together with the girls from my team, and Simone, (my upline).  We had a play with some of the new catalogue items.  You can purchase items from the new Holiday catalogue from 5th September, unless you are a Stampin' Up! Demo, in which case you can buy them now!!

Thought I'd share a few of the things we got up to!
 First up I shared a bit about emotions and how we have the power to control our emotions rather than allowing our outside circumstances to control them.  Then we moved onto creating.  I had asked 3 of the ladies if they would create something for us all to have a go at.  Jenny had made up this cute card for us to create: Using the very cute "Signs of Santa" stamp set, matching Santa's signpost framelit dies, also the new "Swirls and Curls" Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and the new Christmas Punch from the "Christmas Traditions Punch Box".  This was my version of her card (little different, and of course I didn't think to take photo of hers!
I'd also asked Rosalie to create a Make&Take for us, she created this beautiful card (again my version) This uses the lovely new Foil Edged Cards and Envelopes, and also one of my new favourites the Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper, also the Peaceful Poinsettia and matching dies.
had to give you a close up of this one:
I'd also asked Diane to do a Make&take for us, and she chose the Petite Treat Framelit dies and Treat Time Stamp Set bundle, which was fabulous as I'm not sure if any of the rest of us have these dies or stamp set! As it was a bit of a Christmassy Theme today with the holiday catalogue, She'd paired it up with the "Under the Mistletoe" Designer Series Paper.  If you buy these dies, let me know and I'll explain how to put the box together, once you know how it's easy!!  Oh and it's perfect for small presies, Diane had made up one to hang on the Christmas tree too, great idea!
I also made 3 things for Make&Takes but I might save those and show you in the next post (stay tuned!)
Simone also shared a little about her recent Stampin' Up! incentive trip, which was fabulous.

If you want to join us at these team days, do ask me how you can join my team, or click on the link above that will tell you more details.

I hope I have inspired you to create
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

Celebration of Tags

 Hi there Creators, I've been waiting ages, but finally this stamp set has arrived and it's every bit as cute as I expected it to be! So of course I had to play with it....... First up I stamped all the images using Black Stazon (they come in strips of 3 to match the dies) and cut them out with the big joined together die.  Then got to work creating cards with them, I ended up with 5 cards in the end, Oh and I've just realised I forgot to take photos of the insides, bother! This first one didn't get anything on the inside, I stamped the tag up, then debated what I could do to lessen the impact of the white card, and came up with the idea of inking the little label then stamping it a few times without reinking, and repeating till the card was covered sufficiently.  I'm quite pleased with the effect I got!   This second card is such a fun kid card, you might recognise it from my previous post on Global Design Project #264.  I've tied the ribbon at the end, then th

What's New?

  Hi there Creators,  Today I'm joining a Crafty Collaborations hop, this is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all round the world, cool eh?   This particular blog hop is What's New? and open to our own interpretation. Sitting out in my craft room I spied the True Love Designer Series Paper that arrived a few days ago, and decided on a spot of colouring in therapy, and the cards started from there..... This Designer Series Paper is black and white, and has some great images to cut out (if you don't mind a bit of fussy cutting) The first card I made with the paper was this one, I've cut the flowers out from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper, and used Stampin' Blends to colour them in. With this first card I've also used one of the Gold Hoop embellishments which I haven't used before too, I have to say the metal ring is really quite sturdy you can see the Gold Hoop a little more clearly with this photo, I've used a bit of the Gorgeou
