This Month's Workshop Cards

Hi Everyone

Just before I get into the cards I have to show you today, I just wanted to tell you that the Papercraft Roadshow in Perth has been cancelled :( Hopefully it will happen next year and we will get the chance to be involved again :)


Ok, now for some cards. I have had a busy month for workshops this month and consequently I have done the same cards for all the workshops. I do have one workshop to go this month but hopefully the attendees won't mind me spoiling the surprise if they happen to pop in here :)


So the first one is one that I intended to be a masculine card as I get a lot of requests for these.

It does use a floral set but I think with the colours I have used it can still be used for a male.

Stamp Sets: Fifth Avenue Floral, Vintage Labels (SAB Set)

Cardstock: Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White

Accessories: Pacific Point Ink, Baja Breeze Ink, Kiwi Kiss Ink, Whisper White Ink, Pacific Point 5/8" Striped Grosgrain, Scallop Circle Punch, 3/4 " circle punch

The next card is so simple, using a set that I use a lot but still really appeals to me. It is a Gatefold Card and with a change of colour scheme could easily pass for any age or gender.

Stamp Sets: Baroque Motifs, Big Bold Birthday, Whimsical Words (SAB Set)

Cardstock: Kraft, Ridinghood Red, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White

Accessories: Ridinghood Red Ink, Pretty in Pink Ink, Ridinghood Red Taffeta, Wide Oval Punch

Here is another picture which shows you how the Gatefold opens



That's it for me for now. I will be back in the next week or so with some sneak peeks of some of the goodies in the new catalogue. Only 15 days to go!!!!


Enjoy the rest of your week everyone

First Stamp A Stack and more to share

Ok, I know I promised these pictures ages ago but life has been a bit nuts lately. My 2 year old daughter split her forehead last week and has reopened the wound twice more since involving numerous trips to Emergency and the GP!!

So here are the pics of the cards we did/are doing for this month's Stamp A Stack (SAS)



These cards are using the new In Colours Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss, Haiku Designer Series Paper and the Garden Whimsey Stamp set along with the Best Yet (level 1 hostess set) stamp set.

So after doing my first SAS, I will be making a few changes for the next one. I won't be doing as many cards as 4 designs was just a bit too much. Took too long and the novelty wore off after the third I think!! So next time will most likely be 6 cards (3 designs x 2) for $12.

I have made another couple of cards too that I thought I would share. I mentioned in a previous post that I earned 12 free stamp sets and $200 in free product just by doing what I love, being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. Well, I got my goodies this week but didn't have a chance to use them until today. I had a few fellow demonstrators over to play with our toys :D

This is what I came up with.....



Ok so the main stamp set used here is Fifth Avenue Florals, then the sentiment uses On Your Birthday and Frames with a Flourish. The cardstock I used on this card was Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. Inks were Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss & Baja Breeze. I used the eyelet border punch (a new toy!) and the ribbon is Very Vanilla 1/4" grosgrain.

Fifth Avenue Florals has got to be one of the most gorgeous sets in the new catalogue. It is so versatile. I will have another couple of cards done with this set shortly done using a special watercolour technique that is all the rage at the moment, so stay tuned!!

This next card is for a christening I am going to tomorrow but could be adapted to fit most occasions I think.



The stamps are from Always and On Your Birthday. Cardstock & Ink colours are Lovely Lilac and Pale Plum. Ribbon is lovely lilac which is unfortunately retired. The hearts have been stamped in lovey lilac ink and then stamped again with Versamark (using the Stamp A Majig) and then I used Heat & Stick Powder and Dazzling Diamonds to bling it up a bit. I have also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder in the background.

Ok, that's it for me for now. I have a week off work so hoping to have LOTS to show you next week :)

Happy Stamping!
