Stampin’ Up!

Go To Greetings

G’Day Friends.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Today, I have a “bits & pieces” project to share with you. It is one that I’ve created with a a little this & a little that rejected from other projects. Now, in saying that it wasn’t because I didn’t like them, they just didn’t go with the final project or looked a little out of place.

I will also admit that I am not good at going back using up bits & pieces. With me, they either get used for that particular project or they end up in the bin!

The paper is from the now retired Waves of the Ocean DSP while the leaf is from Palms Dies & die cut with Granny Apple Green.

The daisy has been punched with the Medium Daisy Punch from Basic White Cardstock, sponged with Pacific Point Ink & a Sponge Dauber.

Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop – May 2022

Published on May 17, 2022May 17, 2022 by Vicky Wright14 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for joining me today. Once again I am joining Kylie & Bruno’s Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Monthly Team Blog Hop although it has been a couple of months!

We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and to reach goals we have set ourselves. Your support is really appreciated.

You may be starting here – Vicky Wright – or have come from another blog – either way you can find the Blog Roll at the bottom of this post. By clicking on the links, you are sure not to miss out on lots of inspiration for your next project.

As these will be my customer Thank You cards, I wanted to keep my card fairly simple while at the same time create a bit of a WOW. I then went for Friends are Like Seashells Stamp Set along with the matching Seashells 3D Embossing Folder & the Seaside Seashells Dies. Try saying all that fast – I had a lot of trouble typing it lol.

Tahitian Tide really jumps out at you so to tone it down a little, I daubed Pacific Point Ink onto an image with a Sponge Dauber prior to stamping it. It come out a little darker than the Tahitian Tide but toned down from the real colour of Pacific Point.

The sentiment is from the lovely Sending Smiles Stamp Set while the die cut shape is from the matching Sending Dies. I can see myself using these a lot throughout the year.

The card has been finished off with a couple of Opal Rounds randomly adhered to the Front.

G’Day Friends,

Thank you for dropping by today. It is always very much appreciated.

Last night we did a bit of Mystery Stamping which turned into a comedy sketch & ended up so confused that I think I will be redoing the video. I think if I ended up confused so I know you will be too lol, so no video today! In saying that, this is what happens when you go live!

I wanted to play a little with the fun Design a Daydream DSP which is available as a Host Reward & can be yours when spending $250 & over. I will be honest & say, I think I am a little hooked with it!

Although I had a little bit of an idea of the layout, I wasn’t too sure about the rest of it. My card sort of evolved as I went along. I’m fairly happy with it though.

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by.

My card today is one we created in our Mystery Stamping a couple of weeks ago & thought I would share it with you.

I’ve been playing with the Soft Pastels of late & WOW, WOW, WOW! I can’t seem to put the things down.

If you haven’t see them in the Annual Catalogue, do yourself a favour & grab them today, as you need these little beauties in your collection. I love them so much that I’m planning on doing a series of classes with them, but more about that later.

Again it is an easy layout & one which you can use over & over while resulting in a completely different look. But then again, that is what Mystery Stamping is all about – simple, easy but with a little bit of mystery!!!

To watch the video on how I created my card, click on the photo below.

Of course, when you have a great layout that you love & use over & over, there is no stopping. I then shared a 2nd card I created that morning with different supplies.

My 2nd card I shared using the same layout has been created with the lovely limited Waves of the Ocean Collection. This Collection will no longer be available after May 2.

Cardstock is Granny Apple Green, Night of Navy & Basic White. The images have been stamped in Soft Suede, Basic Black & NIght of Navy Inks. Of course the Waves of the Ocean DSP is from the Collection.

G’Day Friends,

Have you seen the news?

For tomorrow only, Thursday, 21 April Stampin’ Up! are offering FREE shipping on orders subtotalling $65 or more. This is the perfect time to not only take advantage of the Last-Chance Products but add FREE Shipping to your order too. It is a win win!

It’s Wednesday & that means it’s time for our Across the Waves Mini Blog Hop.

Alas this will be our last Mini Hop. Can you believe it? In saying that, as from next week, we will be going global but hopping the last Wednesday of the month.

I do hope you have enjoyed what Robbie & I have shared with you over the last few months. Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my FB Page. It’s always so appreciated.

For the month of April, we are showcasing the lovely Oceanfront Stamp Set. You need this set in your collection, believe me!

This set makes it so easy to create lovely projects with minimum supplies & effort!

Belle & I were out & about early on our walk this morning. In fact, it was still dark when we left home, but by the time we hit the beach, I was struck with the most amazing sunrise with the sun just starting to appear. Can I just say, most days the sunrise is amazing but some more so than others.

As I sat down to create my card, I knew I wanted to try & capture the image into my card. I think I have!

The circle was die cut with the Layering Circles Dies before being embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. To create the scene, the images were stamped onto a piece of Bsaic White Cardstock before being adhered to the back of the circle.

The sentiment is from the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set.
