Dad/Fathers Day card

OMG where has the time gone??  It's been nearly a month since I last posted!!  I have been busy with work and then visiting my daughter in Queensland to help her pack up her house as they are moving to another house and of course lots of cuddles with my grandson.  Let me show you a card I made...great for Father's Day or a birthday.

I used TROPICAL ESCAPE 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER, Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz cardstock, the LETTERS FOR YOU PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET and the HARDWOOD CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP. With EARLY ESPRESSO CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD.

Quite a simple card to make but effective. 

Cut the DSP 1/2 cm smaller all round then cut a strip of whisper white cardstock the same length as the DSP and stamp with the Hardwood stamp and Early Espresso ink.  Stamp the letters DAD from the Letters For You stamp set in Early espresso ink then either fussy cut or if you have the matching dies use them.  The letters I used dimensional's to stick them to the card. Just to give them a little pop.

All these products are available from the annual catalogue, just click on the Shop Pages button on the left of this page.

My husband gave this card to his Dad for Fathers Day today.

Hope you have all had a super weekend and your Dad's had a great Fathers Day!

My gorgeous boy is growing up so fast....

I decided to give something back to my customers. So I decided that anyone who orders Stampin' Up! products from me will receive a loyalty card. After 9 purchases of over $25 (excl shipping) on your 10th order when you spend $25 you can then spend another up to $25 on me.

(Left over amounts will not be carried over eg if you only spend $20 of your $25 on me, the $5 left over will not be carried over to your next spend.) I will keep a digital copy of your Loyalty card and mark off your spend so you don't have to worry about bringing your card to me to be stamped.

Also I'm starting up a scrapbooking day.....If you live in my area - Narara, Central Coast NSW, Australia then message me for more details :D

September 2018 Holiday Catalogue

I can't wait for you to see the new Holiday catalogue that goes live on the 5th September!! There are soooo many GREAT and CUTE stamp sets and accessories I really couldn't decide what I wanted to buy first!! I nearly wanted the WHOLE catalogue! Yes it is that AWESOME! Can't wait to get my pre-order (perks of being a demonstrator :D ) and show you what I make so you can see that I'm not being over dramatic about how awesome this Holiday Catalogue really is! 

If you would like a copy of your very own let me know and I will get one out to you when they become available.

I can't wait to show you the rest!

Poinsettia flower

The Stampin' Up! team I am in meets regularly once a month to share ideas and learn new techniques and we also do a card swap within our team. This month is Christmas in July, we are making Christmas cards for our swap. As I didn't really have any Christmas Stamp sets (can't wait for the next holiday catty to come out 😁) I thought maybe I could make a Poinsettia out of the Pop of Petals stamp set and punch! This is what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty good! What do you think?

What I did to achieve this is I stamped in the same colour as the cardstock and punched out 4 flowers in  the Lovely Lipstick cardstock and ink and stamped and cut out 2 in the Call me Clover cardstock and ink.  The top flower I left whole but the rest I cut into 4 separate petals then glued them individually to the back of the whole flower.  I did the same for the leaves.  I put some wink of stella on the petals and I am thinking of maybe putting a clear faceted gem in the centre as well.

The embossed strip across the card is the Seaside Textured Impressions embossing folder.  I just love the mini sequin trim!
