Llama Love!

One of the very first card "suites" in the new catalogue is right on page 10/11. Birthday Fiesta! Its got a lovely Mexican Fiesta feel to it. Beautiful fun designer paper, an embossing folder and stamps and dies! There is also some cute ribbons to go with it all! I will list everything below!

As soon as I saw this set I knew I wanted to do a llama watching the sunset! His silhouette is perfect for this!

So I did a sunset wash on watercolour paper using re-inkers and let it dry over night. (You could also use a heat gun if you are anxious). I then stamped the sentiment which is from a different set and die cut the llama and the cactus from Basic Black card stock.

My friend Lydia at Understand Blue Blog (she is hilarious and so creative..follow her!) debates if this is a Llama or an Alpaca. Well, when I was in Peru it was explained to me that llamas have longer noses and alpacas are short stubby nosed critters (and I think so cute). The guide put the tips of his fingers straight out together and said "llama" and then pulled them all in tight and said "Alpaca"..so I am thinking this little guy is a llama. (you cannot see it in the silhouette but definitely in the stamp image)

Here is another card I made where you can see his pointy face :-)

Isn't this set fun and bright? Definitely puts me in Fiesta mode!

What a Fun Open House!

Last weekend I hosted my New Catalogue Launch and Retired stamp sale. It was a great success and I think everyone went home happy with their new catalogue tucked under their arm!

I am still in love with the new stamp set Swirly Birds and the matching Swirly Scribbles Thinlets! 

Here is another card I created this last week for my display boards.

It was inspired by a card I saw online (I think on Face Book) I will try to find the link to the inspiration card and link here for credit) Mine is slightly different with the pearls etc.. I actually gave this to a good friend who is having a rough go of it at the moment.

Here are some of the pics from the weekend open house. I went with a Flamingo Tropical theme! Click on any of the images to see them enlarged.

It's an NEW CATALOGUE SEASON at Stampin' Up!

..and I have to say, I am so in love with everything so far that I bought on my pre-order last month. My first big order will be arriving this Monday and I will get to play with even more new products! 

Join me next Saturday for my BIG BOGO SALE!! The biggest sale ever I think! Lots of cleaning out to do.

The way it works is:

Pick any of the retired items you wish to buy. I will have them marked at about the catalogue price, then you get to order what you like for the same or more value from the new catalogue and pay the S&H and Tax on that order. The retired items will be yours to keep for FREE! Two for one! Yeah!

If you wish to make the Make & Takes please e-mail me in advance this week so we will have the products ready for you to play with.

There will be loads of samples for you to see to!

RSVP and get my studio address by clicking on the E-mail link on the right!

In the mean time, I will be posting samples here all week of some of the cards and 3D items I have created with the new products.

Here is the first, so clean and simple:

I used the new dies from the Swirly Birds Bundle. Initially I was only going to buy the dies but then I started to see the possibilities as other demos started to post their creations and it is FAST becoming my very favourite in the catalogue. SO versatile even though the set itself looks so uninteresting at first! 

Can you see the glimmer on the swirl? Thats using the Wink of Stella pen..my new favourite thing to add a little glam to any card! It also comes in gold.

Check back tomorrow for more another sample using the stamp set too.

Here are the supplies I used on this one:

 

Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies - 141497

Easy Street!

Talk about quick and easy! I LOVE the whale on the Maritime DSP but unfortunately he was not included with the images in the Sea Street Stamp Set. So again I fussy cut him out and adhered him to the front of a layer card. I had soem friends over when I was making this card and they didn't allow me to add anything to it. So here you go...perfect clean card..whale swimming low in the ocean. (Please don't note the upsidedown water pattern on the card LOL)

 

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Whisper White; Maritime DSP

Stamps: None, nana, zip (well inside I stamped the little school of fish from Sae Street along the bottom of white cardstock insert)

Misc: Red 1/8" Taffeta Real red Ribbon; Paper Snips

 

Thanks for stopping by, tomorrow's card is a WOW card I recieved in a swap! You won't want to miss it!

Have ya ever been to sea Billy?

LOL...did you eat Fish Fingers when you were a kid? I grew up in Ireland and Birds Eye Fish Fingers were one my favourite things for lunch and every Friday was fish day (being the good Catholic girl I was). They used this line in the ad..the old sea captain asking the little boy LOL

Anyway.. I'm rambling!

The new catalogue has lots of nautical themed items in it.
 My absolute favourite is the new Maritime Designer Series Paper. All red white and navy it is sharp and bright..add a touch of Coastal Cabana and you have that tropical touch!

So this week I will be showcasing the DSP and the Stamp Set I mention on Friday called Sea Street

  

So the first card in this series that I would like to share is the one everyone made at my Open House this weekend. (Thank you all for coming!!)

Nice and simple with clean lines. Great for the sailor in your life! I stamped the little solid imaged starfish and punch him out using the new itty bitty punch.

Here are the items I used to create this card.

Paper: Night of Navy; Real Red; Whisper White; Maritime DSP #133696 $13.50

Ink: Night of Navy

Stamp Set: Sea Street #133988 $20.95 CM / #133985 $27.95 WM

meanwhile here is a card made using one of my favourite sets from the new catalogue!

The set is Traveler (Clearmount: #134513 $24.95 / Woodmount: #134510 $33.95 )and it is a kind of vintage style which is so very versatile!

Stamps: Traveler and the Photopolymer set Endless Birthday Wishes which is available for a limited time only! It's so versatile...and I know it will sell out soon!

Paper: Lost Lagoon; Whisper White and the patterned paper is from the 4.5x6.5 Paper Stack called Moonlight (133701 $8.50) which is beautiful!

Also used the new Lost lagoon stitched ribbon, metal buttons and white bakers twine. The label was made using the Scalloped Label Punch (#133324 $31.95) It's  big punch but I love how easy it is to make great tags and of course you could also use it to punch both ends and make a cute framed shape for your images.

Hope to see you soon! If you wish to have a catalogue and cannot make it to my studio on Friday or Saturday just leave me a comment and I'll be in touch and get one to you (Canadian residents only please and if you do not currently have a demo looking after your crafting needs)

Happy Stampin'!

Hostess Club Cards

Had a lovely day stamping with my Club Ladies in May. We made four cards and they got a sneak peek at some of the new toys.

Here are two of the cards we made in May.:

A lovely vintage take using the stamp set "Blooming with Kindness"

Cardstock: Crumb Cake; Chocolate Chip; Very Vanilla

Inks: Crumbcake; Chocolate Chip

Stamps: French Script; Blooming with Kindness

Misc: Basic Pearls; Stampin' Sponges

The next card used the masking and sponging technique. You tear some scrap paper and stick it down on your cardstock base and then spong the open areas of the card. Before we took the mask off we then stamped the patterned trellis on the same area.

Punched and sponged the edges of the butterflies and flowers and adhered with glue dots and added lots of bling. Add whatever greeting you like and voila! Easy and quick card that looks like you put lots more effort into it than it required!

TIP: Use our Paper Piercing Tool to lift and place your diamonds, pearls and candy dots. They won't go flying!

Cardstock: Whisper White; Pool Party

Inks: Whisper White; Pool Party and Tempting Tourquoise (the trellis)

Stamps: Summer Silhouette (trellis); Blooming With Kindness (Greeting)

Misc: Stampin' Sponges; Elegant Butterfly Punch; Bitty Butterfly Punch; Petite Petals       Punch; Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Paper Piercing Tool
