I was playing around with some left-over Stamp A Stack kits the other week. I just made a quick card up with one of the kits left. I thought you might like to see it.
The card base and the large ornament is in Bermuda Bay. I embossed the white card with the ‘Boughs and Berries’ Embossing Folder. On this card I added another ornament from the ‘Delicate Ornaments’ Thinlets cut from the Silver Foil Sheets to give a little sparkle. The greeting is from the ‘Wonderland’ stamp set. A little Silver Ribbon finishes it off.
Thanks for visiting today. I hope you have a wonderful day,

When I received my preorder of Holiday Catalogue goodies a month or 2 ago this was the first card I made. I went searching on Pinterest for some inspiration. This card was almost CASED from shawnstamps.com. I have just discovered his blog. I like his style. Take a minute to pop on over and check out his clever creations.
Anyway, back to the card. I liked the colours he used and the way he used the ‘Sleigh Ride’ Edgelits Dies. I teamed my card with the ‘Jingle All the Way’ set.
I have used Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Smoky Slate. The card base is Smoky Slate. I added some Silver Ribbon on my card and stamped some stars from the ‘jingle All the Way’ set in Bermuda Bay in the sky. The greeting was stamped on some scrap white card. I really should have flagged the end. I had stuck it down by the time I realised. I did try and lift it but……. Best to leave it alone I think. The little embellishment was made with the Festive Flower Punch. I had just received that punch and was playing around with it. It was sitting on my desk so I just grabbed it and made it. Not sure whether it was meant to be a flower or a snowflake. Anyway, it filled the spot. I added a Rhinestone to the centre. It looks OK. What do you think???
You can get the stamp set and the Edgelits Dies as a Bundle and save 15%. Gotta love that! Wood – $59.50 AUS Clear – $51.75 AUS.
Here is the stamp set. It has a quite a few cute little images with 4 greetings.
Have a good week. I am in the middle of a big project. I might share it later.
Until next time.

I made this card a few weeks ago but only had a chance to show you now. When I received my Festive Flower Punch I had to have a play and create a different flower than the traditional one. That’s what you do right??? 🙂 I made a card up with the flower. Since making this flower I have seen some great variations on Pinterest. I have to say I do like those ones a lot so I will have to make those too. Here is my card and I will give you the details of the flower. You might remember the small flower that you could make with the wing of the 2-step bird punch?? Well this is it’s big brother 🙂
I have a chart below to show you how I created the flower so I won’t say too much about that. For each of the pieces I sponged them with ink. I have used Rich Razzleberry for the flowers and Old Olive for the stems. See the pearl accent?? I was trying to work out what to add. I added a Metal Rimmed Pearl but the silver didn’t go right so I created my own. I punched a circle from the Gold Foil Sheets using the smaller circle from the Owl Punch. I adhered a pearl to the centre and added the both with a glue dot onto a small bow from Whisper White Baker’s Twine. I really liked this addition. The greeting is from ‘Birthday Blossoms’ and I punched one corner with the new Curvy Corner Trio Punch.
Here is a chart to create your own flowers.
So this punch is very versatile. Not just for your Poinsettia flowers. I can’t wait to make some other versions.
Here is the punch if you haven’t noticed it. The punch can be found on P 31 of the catalogue and is $31.00 AUS.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a super awesome weekend and you have time to create. I have my Holiday Catalogue Launch tomorrow so I am looking forward to sharing some fun projects using these great products from the Catalogue.

Thanks for joining us today for another ESAD Blog Hop. This time we are focusing on some of the awesome products in the new Holiday Catalogue. You might have just come from Kelly’s Blog or you might be starting here. Either way you can take the Hop around in a circle.
There is so much to love in this catalogue so it was hard to choose but I decided on picking the first stamp set that made my wish list. (Maybe because that was near the front – I don’t know. It is all so good!).
Firstly, I need to tell you about what ESAD is about.
OK. Now I am looking at the ‘Home For Christmas’ product suite on page 8-9 of the catalogue. I love the vintage feel of these products. Sorry lots of photos but I think you will rather quickly look at photos than lots of information when you are hurrying on your hop. 🙂
I have used the markers to colour the sentiments from the ‘Cozy Christmas’ stamp set. The sweet deers are from the ‘Home for Christmas’ Designer Series Paper that I have fussy cut out. So cute! The beautiful poinsettia paper is from the same ‘Home For Christmas’ pack. You don’t need much more to this. I have added some Gold Cord and Gold Doily. Here is a close-up of the cards.
So I had to then make a bag using the Curvy Keepsake Framelits to make a cute set.
I hope you like these. Thanks for stopping by. Now get hopping to the next stop on the Blog Hop. You will now go to Libby’s blog HERE.

It’s September 1st which means ….It’s Spring!!! Well in the Southern Hemisphere it is BUT even more exciting – (can I say that??) – Yes, even more exciting is the 2015 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalogue is live TODAY!!!
You are going to absolutely love this. There is so much AWESOMENESS!! Now click HERE to go and view it online. (I will add the link in the sidebar shortly for future reference).
I have been playing with products in this catalogue for a few weeks now. (Just one of the benefits of being a demonstrator!). I have posted a few projects recently and I have more to share with you too. Yesterday I had a quick play and made up this card. This was inspired from some cards on Pinterest.
I have used the new ‘Woodland’Embossing Folder. Now this is towards the back of the catalogue (p39) and can be overlooked especially by us downunder as we don’t celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving and people tend to stop after the Christmas products; BUT keep going there are some awesome products that you will be able to use anytime. The stamp set is ‘Jingle All the Way’ (p12) and I love those sweet wooden Snowflake Elements (p23). I have finished it off with an Adhesive Pearl.
So now I am going to stop talking so you can go looking at the catalogue. If you want to get any of that goodness and don’t have a Demonstrator then let me know. If you would like a Catalogue sent to you then let me know too. I know you can read it online but it is so much nicer to have the real thing. 🙂
Happy Reading 🙂

I received my preorder for some new goodies from the upcoming Holiday Catalogue. Oh! It was just like Christmas – literally!! Opening up all the fun new products and the sparkly papers. It was all so festive. I had to open all the packets straight away and punch and cut and emboss. One of the first things I used was the new Festive Flower Builder Punch. I can’t show you the punch yet (just wait until September 1st). I made up the flower and today just added it to a card. Here you are….
I have used Real Red for the card base. The flower is Real Red and Old Olive. You will find a few new products on this card. Apart from the fun Builder Punch you have a co-ordinating stamp set which the greeting is from – ‘Reason For The Season’ (Don’t you love that font!), and the gorgeous new Embossing Folder ‘Boughs and Berries’.
So now you really want to see the Catalogue don’t you?? If you would like me to send you a catalogue, then just leave me a comment or email me and I will send one to you. Australian residents only. I am going to start mailing them next week.
Thanks for stopping by,

I thought I would show you the Make and Takes we made at my launch last weekend. I shared some of the fun in an earlier post.
Firstly, we made a bookmark showing the new Incolors and using the cute new set “Sprinkles of Life”.
The top of a strip of Whisper White (5cm x 21cm) was punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. One of the greetings was stamped in Memento Ink at the top. How cute is this saying?? Right at the bottom the cone was stamped in Tip Top Taupe and then each ice-cream scoop stamped in a different colour. There is a matching punch which we could have punched out the scoops but to keep it simple and quick they were just stamped directly on to the card. Everyone could choose their colour of the new Incolor Dotted Lace Trim.
Now for the card. I changed my mind a few times with what we do leading up to this. This card was inspired by a few cards I had seen on Pinterest. Once again, each guest could choose their own colour.
This is using the set ‘I Think You’re Great’. The scallop lines were stamped in Delightful Dijon (or what they chose). The “hi” cloud was stamped in their matching base card colour and hand cut.The flowers were punched from Watermelon Wonder card using the small flower punch in the Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack. A little bling and some white twine finished it off. Now of course it’s nice to have a matching envelope. So with the new Envelope paper we could make one using the Envelope Punch Board.
For some guests who didn’t like the “hi” on their card they could make an alternative in their chosen colour with the “Happy Birthday” from ‘Remembering Your Birthday’ set. It was nice to have a matching envelope to go with it too. 🙂
Sorry if you missed my launch last weekend, I know for some people distance is an issue 😦 If you would like me to share some fun projects with you and your friends, why not invite me to come to your place and we can have some fun stamping together. If you are further afield, then you can have a Catalogue Party yourself. Collect some orders from your friends and send them to me. I can have the orders sent back directly to you – and the bonus you still earn all the exciting little hostess benefits yourself. You can check off some of those items on your Wish List – and get them for Free!! Do it! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by today. It’s nice to have you visit me from near and far. Have a wonderful day xx
