Clean and Simple Cards

These aren't the best photos, but you get the idea. These are the cards we will be making at the Stamp a Stack next Tuesday. I like the cards in the bottom photo the best. I got a card from my up-line Jayne Mercer for my birthday and that is where I got the idea for these cards from.

Thank you to Sandra who popped over this afternoon. She ended up pointing me in the right direction. I was having lots of problems with my blog, but hopefully now everything is running smoothly.

Cheerio,

Janice

Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue Launch

Here are the three projects we made last Tuesday. They each included at least one product from the new Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue. The Top Note gift box on the left uses the stamp set Strength & Hope. (For each set of Strength & Hope stamps sold Stampin' Up! is donating $2 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation). We also used the new Decorative Lable punch on this box.

Next the blue card shows the individual stamp Sail Away. This stamp is great for masculine cards and a bargain at only $14.95. On this card we used the crayon resist method to keep the sails white, then went over the whole area with the brayer to colour the sky and the sea.

Finally the bright card with the flower. Here we used the Framed Tulips embossing folder along with the Big Shot. The button in the centre of the flower is new too that's a Designer Big Button. They come in a pack of 48 in three designs and three colours. Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight.

Hope you like them, we had a fun night and it was nice to see some old familiar faces back.

These are the two cards we made at the last technique class and at our Stamp Club get together

The pink card is Pretty in Pink and Whisper White with a little bit of Pear Pizzaz. We used the level one hostess sets Birthday Bakery and After Thoughts. Here is a great video tutorial to make this card.

These cards are so lovely and bright. We used Tempting Turquoise, Real Red Yoyo Yellow (retired) and Very Vanilla. The flowers have the Itty Bitty Buttons in the centres.

Everyone loved these cards, I hope you do too.
Next Tuesday I'm having a is a Stamp a Stack, it's fully booked but I thought I would give you all a sneak peak at what we are making. Pop back soon and I will take some photos to show you. I will also show you what we made last week at the Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue Launch.

See you soon.

Stylish Blogger Award

Look what I got!!!!!!!! A Stylish Blogger Award from Sandybeaches. Thank You.

As part of receiving this award I have to link back to the person who awarded it to me. Go here to check out Sandybeaches blog. She does some fabulous colouring and makes lovely cards. I don't know where she finds the time.


Then I have to tell you eight things about me (that is the hard part).

So, eight things about me:

1 I am very indecisive, it takes me ages to decide about things. ( I'm sitting here thinking should I write that!!)

2 I eat way too much chocolate.

3 I would love to loose 10kgs, (#2 isn't helping with that).

4 I make cards almost everyday.

5 Most mornings I have breakfast at the computer and check out emails, the Stampin' Up! demonstrators site, Inklings forum and my favourite blogs.

6 I enjoy reading a good murder book. At the moment I am working my way through Michael Connelly's books.

7 I watch Home & Away.

8 Our two girls don't live near us, one in Fremantle and one in England, but I love to catch up with them on Skype. It's so good being able to see them, makes them seem so much closer.

Finally I have to send the award on to 8 other blogs that I have discovered recently and leave them a comment to let them know.

Here they are in no particular order: Diane at Colour me Happy, Heather at Bits & Pieces, Cath at Ink Paper Embellish, Becky at Inking Idaho, Tania at Time for Me; Time for you, Valita from Valitas Fresh Folds, Tana at Artistic Times and last but not least Marelle at thINK spot.

Thanks again Sandybeaches, and good luck this afternoon with the softball grand final. I will be thinking about you girls and have my fingers and everything else crossed.
Have a great weekend everyone.
