Hi there Creators, Well officially we'll be into the new Annual Catalogue, so I can finally start using some of my new goodies! lol, so guess what?.... Card 1: New colours and new stamp set (what a combination!!) this set is called Daisy Lane, although I keep thinking Penny Lane (umm Beetles keep coming back lol), so I'm introducing the new colours Terracotta Tile, Seaside Spray and Pretty Peacock in this card (nice aren't they?)  and yes I spy a new ribbon too (eek so exciting)  Conveniently enough this stamp set happens to coordinate with a punch I already have (yay), the Daisy Punch, but wait there's another punch coming for the smaller daisy too (can't wait to get that one too!)  Have to admit this next set wasn't my favourite... till I started playing around with the dies, Ohhh, I'll just leave my comment at that! lol  the stamp set is called "It starts with Art" and the dies are called Arts and Crafts dies Oh and it comes as a bundle y

Yep it's nearly May, Hi there Creators! I will be offering the same 4 cards at all of my classes this month, Class dates are Wednesday 1st at 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 2nd at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 4th at 10am in Maryborough , so let's get into it..... Card #1 I finally succumbed to This Little Piggy Stamp set (and I can say it is going into the next annual catalogue) yay!  don't know if you can see the background, however I did you a close up just in case :) although I'm not sure it shows it any better lol  the secret is it uses the Timeless Textures Stamp set (sadly retiring) heat embossed with clear or white embossing powder . Moving onto card #2, I thought it would be nice to showcase this Designer Series Paper before it's gone, It's the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper, I didn't like it much to begin with, but have to admit it has grown on me! Card #3 again I wanted to showcase this Best Route Designe

Hi Creators, Today I thought I'd mix the old with the new, New Stamp set and punch - old colours. Stampin' Up have a 3 Tier's of Stampers system currently, Beginner Stamper, Casual Crafter and Avid Stamper (no prizes for guessing which category I'm in lol).   However I thought yesterday I'd try out a series of 3 cards 1 for each category using exactly the same stamp set and accessories. So for the beginner Stamper, it's kept as basic as possible #simplestamping I've picked 3 colours, a pair of Paper Snips (scissors) my Daisy Lane stamp set and an embellishment (Oh and a dimensional) The colours I chose are Berry Burst, Tranquil Tide and Powder Pink, which sadly we're saying goodbye to as they are the In Colours that are retiring with this current catalogue :(  I've stamped the stem first, then added the large flower and saying, the small flower is stamped on spare Vanilla card, and cut out with the paper snips, and then it covers the gap betw

Hi Creators, Well I'm fresh back from Auckland, New Zealand and the Stampin' Up! OnStage Event, OnStage is the name Stampin' Up! currently give their Conventions, this one was a 3 day event. Thought I'd share some of my happy snaps with you all. (there's a lot more than this lol) Here I am with my roomie Annette, for those of you who don't know me personally I'm the one in the green on the left.   this was the evening before it all started, we thought it best to go and check out where everything was!  and in the process did get a sneaky peeky of new stuff, do you spy anything? this was where we collected our goodie bags from the next day, and then saw lots of people wandering round Auckland with these bags over the next 3 days (and at the airport lol) Obviously I am "on trend" as this is one of my favourite colours! So our days were divided into 3 sections once we got going, mornings we were in a big auditorium  where we watched

Hi Creators, if you have ordered from me this month you'll receive a tag on your bag, I've included the extras to make this card, so thought I'd drop in quickly and explain how to pop it together! first up here is the tag, it's small but cute!  I've used the Tabs for Everything stamp set, which has this cool line stamp perfect size to cut out with the 1" circle punch , I've backed it with the 1 1/8" scallop circle punch , using the Champagne foil sheets , then it's hung using the rose metallic thread . So then onto the card itself!  take your piece of Designer Series 3x6" paper, and fold over around 1cm at one end of it, attach it down to your card (and attach the flap down)  then attach down the die cut Tropical Thinlit piece.  Then take your tag, add adhesive to the back of it and loop the thread around till your happy with the way it looks and attach this to your card too, Voila you're all done! I hope you enjoy making up your
