Stampin' Up! Apple Blossoms and I make Birthday Cards

Hello all again, this was another card Sue, Kim and I made on our craft day. We sit down surrounded by all our lovely Stampin' Up! products. This was a colour combo I came up with, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron and Red Riding Hood. I cringed at my choices, but so did the other girls.....

This set is just too cute! It is a special gift to our hostesses who hold a Stampin' Up! workshop of $600 or more, they can choose this stamp set. I love it, and it is definitely on my wish list. I have added a little bit of Pear Pizzazz to this card for the leaves and stems, but, still love how it turned out. 

If you would like to host a workshop, and have the chance to get your hands on this stamp set, shoot me an email to jessidee86@gmail.com, or give me a call on 0405 173 237.

Stampin' Up! Because I Care and I make Thank You Cards

Sorry it has been quiet on the blog front, but with some dramas happening and then falling ill, I have been completely uninspired to create anything.

This clean and simple card uses the stamp set Because I care, which is a level one hostess set, either host a workshop with sales totals of $300 or purchase product of $300 to receive this set for free! I have stamped the Hydrangea in black in and then coloured it in with my stampin' write markers. I am entering this into the Just Add Ink just add stamps challenge, which was to just use stamps, ink and cardstock, no extra embellishments.

Thanks for looking, and happy stamping!

Stampin' Up! Stampin' Write Markers are so good for colouring!

I'm back again. I realised I hadn't yet participated in this weeks Colour Q Challenge!

I wanted to ink up this cute stamp from The Greeting Farm, and after it was all inked up, coloured it with my Stampin' Write Markers... one of my 'must have' craft items.... I love the versatility of the markers, it may seem like a frivolous purchase (they are quite expensive) but, I love colouring with them... I love Colouring my stamps and then stamping with them... I love everything about them... 

I have used scrap DSP, from SU, and October Afternoon (I think...) the sentiment is one from a retired hostess set. I am giving this to one of my customers who has just celebrated the birth of her 3rd beautiful baby! 

Thanks for looking, and Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Silhouette Sentiments is beautiful for CAS Cards

As you can all tell from my previous cards, I'm on a clean and simple kick right now... So, when I saw the daunting colours over at the Curtain Call Colour Challenge, my first thought was to use blocks of colour, to create a focal point on my white cardstock...

I was inspired by the Cube Lights in the picture, so went with those... I clear embossed the images from Silhouette Sentiments on 1.5" squares and then lined them up on my card, I then stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso (sentiment is from Upsy Daisy)... 

I am also entering this into Less is More Challenge week 3, which is a theme challenge - Spring! I think the colours are very spring like, and flowers represent spring to me as well... 

The only way you can get your hands on this cute little stamp set (Silhouette Sentiments) is either by placing an order of $300 or more (not incl. postage), or host a workshop of over $300, if you are interested in either of these options, please do not hesitate to email me or call me on 0405 173 237

Until next time... Happy Stamping!

Curtain Call Colour Challenge

Back again,
Mark has gone to work, and I'm home alone, bored... the house could do with a tidy, but that seems like a little too much like work... So, it didn't get done, instead, I've spent the day procrastinating! One of my procrastination methods is card making, so even though I really didn't feel like sitting and crafting (cause it's a bit of a mess too...) I did....

This card fulfils the Curtain Call Colour challenge, which you can see below.... 

I love the Stampin' Up! Designer series papers, that match with the colour groups! I bought the Brights collection at my last stamp club... and I honestly don't know how I survived without them before! They may seem expensive at $37.95 for a pack of patterned paper, but, you do get 40 sheets, which brings them down to 95c a piece! Very reasonable I think, as it co-ordinates perfectly with everything else SU! If you'd like to order some designer series paper, or anything else send me an email to jessidee86@gmail.com, or call me on 0405173237. 

Thanks, and Happy Stamping!
