Video Tutorial: Facebook Live Cards August 25th 2020

 

Hello friends!  Today I am posting my latest Facebook Live video in which I made the 3 happy cards you see above. I think they turned out pretty nice, and it was fun to share them with you! 

So I've posted them to YouTube to give even more people a chance to see them.  I really hope you enjoy the video below:

Have fun and Happy Stamping!!!

Video Tutorial: Denim and Daisies card with the Faux Denim technique

 

As you might know, I do love interesting backgrounds for my cards. Especially if they are a bit "atmospheric", but also simple to create. This Faux Denim technique ticks all the right boxes.... and I think you will agree the effect is beautiful! 

So I made a video to show you how I did it.... and how you can easily recreate it too. 

Click the video link below.... and I hope you enjoy it!

Let's get together and create at my ZOOM MINI CATALOGUE LAUNCH 22ND AUGUST 2020

 

Hello there friends! I do believe its time for another online catalogue launch!  Back in June we launched the Annual catalogue this way and it was extremely popular!  Now its time to celebrate the new Aug-Dec Mini catalogue the same way.  Its a great way to be part of a creative session no matter where you are in Australia.... even if you are maybe locked down or unable to create "face to face" right now.  Instead Zoom gives us a great way to interact and get crafty together. 

Its important to know that you do not need to have the same stamps that I will be using in the class. I have designed these projects with that in mind... and so you can substitute with whatever stamps you might already own.  However I have also provided a list below to let you know what I will be using in case you wish to purchase any of these items. 

There are two ways to register. You can pay $25 and you will be registered for the launch and receive the class pack via the post. I will also send you a link to the Zoom call. I've also set up a Paypal button for this option below:

OR you can place an order of $50 or more through my Online Store and use the Host code XRN6QA9T when ordering. You can enter the store via the SHOP NOW button on this page. You will also receive the supplies pack and an email from me with the Zoom link included.

This class will close off on Wednesday 12th August so that I have plenty of time to get the class packs to you.

We will be making 3 projects and I'll post "sneak peeks" of them over the next day or two (including the one in the picture collage above). As per last time, there will be prizes on offer for participants during the live Zoom call. Its also a great way to "meet" other crafters and get to know each other better! Not to mention making a start on your Christmas cards and creations.

I'll be using the following suites in this session....

Poinsettia Place

Snowflake Splendour

Wonder of the Season

Home Together dies

(and other random bits and pieces from here and there)

You will need adhesive (usually dimensionals, glue dots and Tombow multipurpose glue) plus scissors to cut ribbon. And sentiment stamps that can be used if you don't have the ones I am using.

The main inks I used were Real Red, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade, but you can substitute with similar coloured inks that you might have.

If you have questions please just ask!!!

Im really excited to create with you again!

Facebook Live stamping session - 2 simple cards with new products!

 

Hey there friends! Today I am sharing my video I made on my Facebook page the other night. I made these two cards during the video - although I finished the second one off after the video (I didnt think you'd want to sit there and watch me colour in the whole of the houses!)  Im really happy with how they turned out! 

The sunflower card is created mostly with products from our Annual catalogue, and the Houses card uses mostly products from the Aug-Dec Mini catalogue.  

To see how I made them click the video link below...

Enjoy!

The gorgeous Life is Beautiful stamp set is available from TOMORROW August 4th!

Im so excited!  Tomorrow is the day that our brand new Aug-Dec 2020 Mini catalogue will be available to customers and there is so much to love!  Of course Christmas is one of my most favourite cardmaking occasions... In particular I love the excuse to use lots of bling and glimmer wherever I can! 

But our catalogue doesnt just have Christmas products.... we have some other gorgeous product types as well... like this card I am showing today. This one uses a new set called "Life is Beautiful"... and this is a million dollar set.  What does that mean?  Well, when a demonstrator reaches the milestone of $1million dollars in sales, they get to go to Head Office in the US, and sit down with the Concept artists at Stampin'Up to create their very own stamp set! Isnt that cool? This particular set was inspired by Million Sales Achiever LeeAnn Greff in the US... and I just love her design!  

For my take on it, I used Petal Pink cardstock as my base. I stamped the tree in Sahara Sand ink (it does look quite dark because its a brand new pad) and then I used White ink for the "snowflakes", which i embossed with White embossing powder.  The bird house was stamped in Soft Suede ink to make it stand out. I've included a full product list below (except for the stamp set which is not yet available - I'll add it later). 

Don't forget too that today (3rd August) is the very last day to earn your Bonus Days vouchers (a $9 voucher for every $90 order).  You can redeem them on all your orders from tomorrow (4th August) until the end of the month. So thats a great way to get yourself a discount on products from the Mini catalogue!

I hope you enjoy my card today and I look forward to sharing lots more from our Mini catalogue with you over the next weeks.
