Fathers' Day - In the Meadow & Going Global

Hello again.

The weekend is nearly over, and I have two more Fathers' Day cards to share with you.

The sentiment on the black card is embossed to make it stand out, as is the compass.  Unfortunately though, Stampin' Up! has retired the Going Global stampset, the Going Places DSP and the black embossing powder, but luckily for me, I still have a container of the powder and plenty of the DSP.

I cased the World's best dad card from Windy Ellard's pin (www.windyellard.blogspot.com), and the Happy Father's Day card from the current catalogue.

The products are sorted by the card so you can easily see what I used.

Happy Fathers Day - Wetlands

Hello again.

Fathers' Day in Australia is only one month away, so I've started making a few cards.  This one is my favourite.

I love this new Designer Series Paper, it's so realistic.  I used a white gel pen for the white caps and embossed the sentiment, which is deliberately small to ensure it didn't detract from the paper.

AUGUST 2016 PROMOTIONS

Hello.

Wow, take a look at these great products Stampin' Up! has on offer.

One is a new bundle called 'Thoughtful Branches', that includes 23 photopolymer stamps and matching Thinlits dies.  

Sometimes demonstrators are able to order items in advance.  I decided I would for this one because I liked the sentiments, and there are so many great creations on Pinterest.  Mine has recently arrived, but I've not had a chance to play yet.

Sadly though, this bundle will only be available until 31st August, or while stocks last.  So don't wait to order this bundle from My Shop, or you might miss out.  

The second one available to order now is 'I Stamped This'.  This is a great set to complete your projects, which is available in wood-mount or clear-mount.  It includes 16 stamps to let everyone know that your creation was made with Stampin' Up! products. The two "© Stampin’ Up!" stamps meet the Stampin' Up! Angel Policy if you are thinking of selling your creations.  

This set will be available until 31st May 2017.   This set has been added to my wish list for my next order.

Lastly, don't forget you have until August 31st to redeem your Bonus Days coupons.  Head to My Shop to place your order, or get more information.

Bye for now.

One Layer Card - Sitting Here

Hello again,

Here's a one layer card I made using the versatile Sitting Here stamp set.

I used the new Thoughtful Branches set for the leaves at the top to give the look that the seat was hanging from a tree.  I stamped the cushion first, then masked it to stamp the seat.  It's not my best card, but I like the effect of the leaves.

It looked bare because the card measurements were larger than I normally use, so I added three clear stars to fill the gap.

Thank You - Sitting Here

Welcome to my 2nd post on this rainy, grey Wednesday in Port Macquarie.

My friend Chloe Evans is part of the Can You Case It design team and has been suggesting (some might say pestering lol) me to submit a card for one of the challenges.  Here's the challenge for this week:

So yesterday afternoon, I sat down to make a few cards using the Sitting Here stamp set, which until now was sitting on the shelf.  After some searching, I came across one of Sandi MacIver's cards (www.stampinwithsandi.com) on Pinterest that I felt I could CaSE.  Thanks Sandi for sharing your ideas, I have trouble designing my own projects.

I used black embossing powder, (which is now retired) for the pot, flowers and sentiment to make it stand out, then used Daffodil Delight for the pot, Melon Mambo and Old Olive for the flowers and leaves, and Basic Grey for the shadow.

The Sitting Here stamp set is so versatile.  There are sentiments to say thank you, thinking of you and two friendship sentiments.  I like the way you can add as much as you like, or make it clean and simple like this card.

If you'd like more details about this set, or any other products, click on the link in the product list, go to My Shop.

Butterfly Frames

Hi. Welcome back.

I made these frames for gifts late last year and only realised I didn't share them.  I hope you like them as much the recipients did.

I started by stamping the Swallowtail on whisper white card stock then embossed the background with the Brick Wall embossing folder. It's a bit difficult to see sorry.

Some rhinestones and smaller butterflies from the now retired Beautiful Wings Embosslits die finished it off.  Once I worked out how it wanted them to look, it was easy.

I was so disappointed when Stampin' Up! retired the Swallowtail stamp set - it was one of my favourites.
