Feature of the Week – Simply Marbleous DSP #1

I do hope you have all had a great weekend.  If you are anywhere near the waters, please take care.

Thank you to everyone who reached out asking if I was ok & yes all is good as we have not been affected.

I have been playing with the lovely Simply Marbleous DSP from Sale-a-Bration of late & am loving the colours & patterns although I seem to be gearing towards the one side in particular.

This Paper is Level 1 which you can earn for FREE when spending $90!

Not only will I be showcasing the papers, but I will also be showcasing the ever so versatile Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set – perfect for all occasions especially Manly Monday!

First up I had to decide what colours I could use with the Smokey Slate sheet of Paper so I opted for Daffodil Delight, Garden Green with Basic White tossed in too.  Way out of my comfort zone but hey it is always good to try new combinations.

The DSP was randomly chopped into 3 pieces before adhering to a piece of Garden Green Cardstock ensuring that the patterns match in & leaving a small amount of Garden Green around all sides.  This layer was then adhered to a Smokey Slate Base Card.

I stamped a sentiment from Inspired Thoughts onto scrap Basic White with Smokey Slate Ink prior to die cutting with the Messages Dies & adhering to the Card Front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped an image from Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set in Daffodil Delight Ink prior to fussy cutting, trimming part of the stem a little & adhering to the top of the sentiment shape with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

To finish the card, I grabbed a couple of the new Classic Matte Dots which are available in the new Jan-Jun Mini Catalogue & adhered these to the front.  I think they finished the card off perfectly.

I wasn’t too sure how this colour combination would work but I have to admit I think they work in well together, don’t you?

Need supplies to create today’s project at home?  Don’t forget to use January’s Host Code – GBDGREJN –  if your order is under $250.   All orders receive a PDF Tutorial & a Handmade Card from me.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

Penguin Place

G’Day Friends,

I do hope you are all safe while in lockdown in some parts of Australia or the world.

Today sees the new July-December 2021 Mini Catalogue go live!  Oh & of course the 2nd lot of Sale-a-Bration from 3 August – 30 September.

Of course, I couldn’t let the opportunity pass without showing you a few projects in the next few weeks that I’ve created using both new product from the Mini & FREE product from SAB which is your for FREE when spending over $90 or $180.

I’ve used the fun Penguin Place Bundle which includes the Penguin Place Stamp Set & the Penguin Builder Punch.  It has been teamed up with the matching Penguin Playmates DSP which is from SAB.

Both the Base Card & Ribbon is Fresh Freesia, while the Penguin & sentiment have been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  The little present & bowtie are Balmy Blue.

The embellishments are Fresh Freesia Jewels which I think just finished the card off perfectly.  A little bit of new & a little bit of old!  What do you think?

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

Chat & Create – Stamping for Ava

G’Day Friends,

Today I am sharing something a little different with you.

Last Friday, we had a very fun morning of chatting, drinking cups of tea & coffee, with lots of laughing, eating, singing, dancing & crafting!  All with little Ava & her family at the backs of our minds.  You can read all about Ava’s Journey here.

The event was sort of spur of the moment about 1 month before the day so we just went with the flow – if it can happen this way!  Happy to report it went off without a hitch & with a handful of volunteers to help us make the day so successful & fun.  Of course, you can’t forget all the many volunteers behind the scenes who never let us down with their yummy homemade sweets & entrees.  Thank you so much!

We had 9 tables which seated 6 to each table except for 2, which seated 8.  You can imagine the designing, cutting & prepping for each card.  I also had to bear in mind that 99% of the ladies had never stamped before the event!  Each table had 2 different designs.  That’s 18 designs!!!!!

Anyhow, we got there with each of them creating 2 cards each with lots doing 3, 4 & 5.  A lot of them shocked themselves with what they created.  I will say the imagination on some of the projects was fantastic.  No 2 were alike.  They loved walking around for show & tell, shocked to find that each table had completely different cards – lol!

We even had a little 4 year boy who was with his Nana & created 2 cards – 1 for mum & 1 for his Daycare Teacher!  He was so proud.  He then found me later on to have a little twist on the dancefloor with him.  He had dumped his Nana!!!!

Card #1 – Darling Donkeys

Happy Stamping!

A Touch of Ink #3

G’Day Friends,

Today is Day #3 of showcasing the lovely Level 2, A Touch of Ink Stamp Set which can be yours when spending $180 or more BUT only while Sale-a-Bration is happening – ends 28 February!

If you are new to Stampin’ Up!, there are 2 levels in the Sale-a-Bration Brochure.

Level 1 – Spend $90

Level 2 – Spend $180

The 3rd level would have to be the best in my eyes & that happens when joining Stampin’ Up! during SAB & purchasing the Starter Kit for $169.  Of course, then SU! are gonna throw in the FREE exclusive gift of 200 pieces of DSP from the upcoming catalogue.  Can it get any better?

Don’t forget, you can join here.  We would love to have you on our team!

I hope you’ve been enjoying my cards this week with the lovely Rococo Rose?  I know I’ve enjoyed creating them.  Of course it is one of the colours retiring this year so if you love this colour, best to purchase it now!

This time round I’ve pulled out the Decorative Masks to create my background.  It is very soft which gives the whole card a very soft effect, don’t you think?

A Touch of Ink is a 2-step stamping Stamp Set which is what I did for my flower.  The outline is in Rococo Rose while the solid image is Blushing Bride but I stamped off first onto scrap paper before filling in the outline.

Flower & Field DSP – Day 2

G’Day Friends,

Today’s card is yet another showcasing the gorgeous Flower & Field DSP, Level 1 of Sale-a-Bration.

Once again it is a simple card but one that lets the DSP shine.

The DSP panel is the opposite side of the floral piece of DSP.  They match in so well, don’t you think?

The sentiment is from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set which is in the Jan-Jun Mini.  Stamped in Flirty Flamingo & punched out with the Timeless Label Punch.

A bow was tied with the lovely Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon & adhered to the bottom of the punched shape with a Mini Glue Dot.

Once again, NO Bling!  2 Days in a row lol.
