Stampin' Up! New Catalogue 2014-2015

These are the projects we are making tonight. The box at the top is made using the 'envelope punch board', and the card stock is Very Vanilla and Hello Honey, one of the new Stampin' Up! In Colors. The card on the left is last years In Colors Strawberry Slush and Crisp Cantelope and I used the new Fringe Scissors to make the flower. On the right this card is Pear Pizazz, Wisteria Wonder and the new In Color Blackberry Bliss.  I used the new, very versatile stamp set 'Work of Art'.

Thanks for looking.

New Catalogue 1st July

 I've been playing with the new stamp 'Blended Bloom' and the new 'Blendabilities', alcohol based markers in the 2014 - 2015 Stampin' Up! Catalogue. Colouring up is so therapeutic, I used to enjoy it, but haven't done any for so long. The new catalogue starts next week on July 1st.

These cards were made to show the girls in my stamp club how versatile the new stamp set 'Work of Art' is.  The top two cards on the left are made using the new In Colors too. All the girls were impressed and I think they will deffinately  consider this set when we next meet.

I will be having a catalogue launch on Tuesday 15th of July if anyone is interested.

Enjoy!

Sorry!

OMG!  How long has it been??  Too long, and I suppose everyone who used to check out my blog has given up bothering.  Anyway I don't have any good excuses, I think I just got busy and sort of lost interest in updating, sorry.

So here's a bit of a catch up in photos of some of what I have been doing:

 

The first two photos (above) are the cards we did at a stamp a stack in March.The second five cards are a bit of a technique class as well, we used the masking tape technique on them. It's so easy and effective especially on the cards with the Wetlands stamps. Love that set.

 

These cards are a sneak peak because they are for the next Stamp a Stack on 17th June.If any of you local to me are interested please contact me and book your spot.

Below is a Card in a Box.  This was a technique of the month card, the first one is the actual card we made.  It's a simpler version I used designer series papers for the flowers.  The card underneath was more involved because I stamped and then cut out the flowers using framelits.  I thought that would be too time consuming for a class.  Everyone loved this card, and some have reported that they have made more at home.  They are really lovely.  I have made another one, but haven't photographed it, it's rather special white on white with a few touches of silver.  Hearts and flowers. It's for a wedding we are going to later in the year.

 These cards were the technique class in April, thanks to my neighbour for showing me how to make the lattice edge cards. We also made that card at Stamp Club.  We usually do whatever the technique class is that month at stamp club.

The final two cards were last weeks technique class the Starburst or Sunburst technique. The girls at stamp club did this technique but a different design.  At the technique class a few of the ladies changed the blue one and put a flower in the middle rather than the surfer.  That looked nice too, they used markers in all the same colours to colour directly onto the stamp, very effective.

 Leaving the best till last.  Here is the beautiful Elsie Amarlie, our gorgeous first grandchild.  She was born on 9th April weighing 4kg and she hasn't stopped growing since.  We love her so much and wish we lived nearer. The first photo is the day she was born and the last two were taken last weekend.

Thanks for coming back, if anyone did : )  I'll try to update a little more often.

Regards

Back again!

These ten cards are from the October Stamp a Stack.  The Christmas cards were made mainly using the designer series paper 'Season of Style' and the hostess stamp set 'Warmth & Wonder', from the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue.

I'm not sure if there will be a November Stamp a Stack,  I'm living in a construction site at the moment.  We are getting new carpet in the lounge, but it seems to be taking for ever for the carpet to arrive.  We moved all the furniture out three weeks ago in preparation and we are still waiting.

This weekend is the local show.  I entered two of my paintings, and was thrilled to get first prize and champion exhibit in the open art division for one of them. 

 

Thanks for looking.

Big catch up : (

I know I have been very slack lately and this has been pointed out to me, but I just don't seem to get around to up loading photos and adding things on here.  I could blame it on the redecorating going on around here but that would be a bit weak as I haven't exactly contributed a lot of effort to that.  So Sorry!!  no excuses, it just didn't happen.  So sit back, relax and catch up on a few photos of the cards we have been making at my stamp a stacks over the past couple of months.

These are the August Stamp a Stack. The next two pictures are September's. I'm not sure what happened in June ?  I will have to check my diary.  I didn't have a SAS in July because of school holidays, visitors and renovations.

 

 There was a fifth card it's just not shown in the photo above.

Have to dash off to work now, have a great day!

Stampin' Up! Bigz Lattice Die

 I've had this die for quite a long time and I have finally got around to having a play with it.  Here are two cards I made.

The first card above, I cased from a card by Julia Leece. I used the filter paper behind the die cut and coloured it in with markers. We made this card as part of the last technique of the month class. I really like the butterflies.

The second card has the Medallion stamp, stamped using the 'thumping method' behind the die cut.

The next five cards will be part of the May Stamp a Stack on Tuesday May 21st. There will be five more cards, but I still have to design them yet.  If anyone in my area would like to come along, we start at 7pm.  Give me a call or send me an email to reserve your place.  Numbers are limited.


Thanks for looking I hope you like the cards.

All the Mums out there, have a great day tomorrow!

Best Wishes,

Janice
