G’day Stampers,

I sure hope you are enjoying your tutorials & using up a lot of your DSP. I know I am & it has given me a new lease of life creating with my DSP.

This month we are playing with the “Go Wild” Paper Stack. This stack retired at the 3 June beginning of the month but you can still play with the papers you have in your stash or any of the new DSP you may have purchased from the new Catalogue.

Don’t forget, along with the sketch, we have tutorials for 4 greeting cards, a list of Measurements (Metric & Imperial) plus a list of Supplies we have used for our cards.

To purchase your Tutorial, click on the Pretty Pattern Papers Page.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

G’day Stampers,

I’ve just had my new lounge suite delivered – very exciting as I now have something to sit on, but still have to unpack the lounge room boxes.

I saw today’s card on Pinterest some time ago & it just stayed in my mind for some reason. It could be the colours or it could of been the pleats, but anyhow I loved it. It was also a good excuse to use up some of my DSP sitting in boxes (yep, not unpacked as yet) & to remind you of our Pretty Pattern Papers . Thank you for your inspiration.

I’ve used the “Cherry on Top” DSP which was in the Occasions Catalogue, now retired, but you could change it out to a current DSP or even what you have in your “stash”.

Included in the Free Tutorial below, is a template showing you how I did my pleat. Click on the link to download your Tutorial.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

Sneak Peek #2

Published on May 20, 2016May 19, 2016 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

Today sees a sneak peek showcasing 2 lovely new stamp sets “Pop of Paradise” & “Thoughtful Banners” (lots of lovely words for all sorts of greetings) which has a matching Punch. Along with this gorgeous stamp set, I’ve used the matching “Pop of Pink” Speciality DSP. This is one of the perks about being a Demo, we get to have a sneak play before the release of any new Catalogue.

I’ve used the DSP to showcase our latest Pretty Pattern Papers for May. Actually, it’s the same DSP we’ve used for May, but in a different way. If you haven’t purchased your Tutorial, be sure to click on the Page to do so or to find out more information.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

Technique #2

Published on July 17, 2015July 14, 2015 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

Today’s card is our 2nd card we created in our Technique Class last Sunday, which was all about Masking, Sponging & getting better use from our Dies.

I have used a Die (Starburst) that has since been retired, but you could always change it out to whatever shape you wanted for your card. I must say the ladies were really happy with this card which is very simple but with a little bit of a “WOW”.

Don’t forget if you would like to attend any of my Technique Classes, all you have to do is click on the Classess/Workshop Page to check out the dates & times.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

Friday’s Crafty Creations

Published on July 12, 2014 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

We created our card from retired SU! DSP which was SAB 2013! Yep, I still have a stack left, but it gets a lot of use by doing the Markets & Crafty Creations. Any card I create using this paper seems to sell immediately. I will be very sad to see the last of it used, especially the dotty side of it.

I even managed to use the Pinwheel Sizzlits which has since been retired, but love it when I can reuse again.

Instead of a normal fold, I folded the Base Card about an inch from the bottom so that the Rich Razzleberry DSP & the greeting are actually stuck to the bottom of the inside card. I embossed a layer of Whisper White with the Cloud EF, lightly sponged the embossed images with Pool Party Ink to bring out the clouds a little before adhering to the Base Card top.

I cut a circle from the top layer of DSP using the Circles Framelits Collection, run a piece of Ribbon from the circle to the edge of the DSP, tucked the ends under, cut a frame from Summer Starfruit (Retired) by placing the same Circle Framelit & the next size up, ran it through the BS prior to attaching around the Base circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I created the Pinwheel by using the Pinwheel Sizzlit & holding it together with a Silver Mini Brad prior to adhering to centre of Circle with a Glue Dot. Since the photo was taken, I have actually embossed the Brad by rubbing Versamark onto the top of the Brad & heat setting with Pool Party EP & Heat Tool. It actually makes the centre pop a little.

I finished the top of the card by tying a small bow & adhering with a Glue Dot.

For the bottom part of the card, I adhered a small piece of DSP to a piece of Whisper White CS prior to adhering to the inside card. I then stamped “Happy Birthday” (from another retired Stamp Set) with Island Indigo Ink, punched it out with Word Label Punch & adhered to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
