Wednesday’s WOW! are back for 2019. Today we have episode #51. You might know by now that Cling Stamps have arrived to Stampin’ Up!. Cling Stamps are super sticky so they don’t fall off. YAY! Because they are super sticky though there are a few tips you might want to know about using them. I put together a video for you to let you know about them. Check it below.
I hope the video helps you with them. Just be sure to ‘gently’ peel them off the block, but isn’t it nice that you can have confidence that they will stay on.
Thanks for visiting.

I have been having a little fun with cupcakes lately. Hello Cupcake from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue actually. So I thought I would start to share some projects for you.
If you are not sure where to start with a stamp set, why not CASE (Copy And Share Everything). The Stampin’ Up! Catalogues are great for inspiration.
This card is a CASE from p6 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.
Base card is Mint Macaron stamped with some sprinkles in Mint Macaron. The Blushing Bride strip is 9cm x 3cm (approximately 3 1/2″x 1 1/4″). On the white card (which is 7.5cm x 12.8cm – Approximately 3″ x 5″), I stamped the cupcake base in Early Espresso.
I positioned the Blushing Bride card strip temporarily above the cupcake base before stamping the Cupcake top. Then I could stamp the cupcake top in the right place. I just slid the strip away slightly to stamp. The Cupcake top is stamped in Blushing Bride and the Sprinkles in Berry Burst. Some Linen Thread was wrapped twice around the strip. I find it helpful to add a little Snail Adhesive on the back of the strip to hold the Thread in place to wrap it around.
Some more Cupcakes are on their way.
You can pick up your free Hello Cupcake set with your orders over $90 AUS during Sale-A-Bration. If you are in Australia, Stop by my store to order -> HERE. Please use the HOST CODE: FYQHM4CK

Christmas is almost here! I wanted to take a moment to wish you a Very Merry Christmas from our home to yours.
Thank you for joining with me in this fun stamping journey. I have loved sharing all my projects with you and I look forward to more sharing in the New Year.
However you spend the day be safe and while under the tree might be full of gifts and treasures I hope you take time to think on the greatest treasure given to us in the gift of Jesus.
Happy Christmas.

The card above was made for my 12 Weeks of Christmas series but, well… I ran out of weeks to share it. It’s a great opportunity to share it with you now for my Christmas wishes to you. Made with the Farmhouse Christmas Bundle which is sadly not being carried over, I wanted to show that you can use this set without having to colour it all the time. I stamped the house a number of times over the Crumb Cake card base. The paper is from Under The Mistletoe DSP. You can stamp directly on to the silver Foil but remember to use Stazon.
While this card is very simple I deliberated on it for so long in how to work the sentiment. Maybe an hour just on that. How many different ways could I work it. Seriously why can’t I just go with it! It worked out in the end with just a strip of Real Red Satin Ribbon to finish. Which I should have just stuck with in the beginning. Do you have days like that?? 🙂
Thanks for visiting,
Happy Christmas.

I think this stamp set hasn’t had much airing around the blogosphere. That’s a bit sad. It is a cute one. Hung With Care is a Host set found in the Holiday Catalogue. I must say I haven’t used it near enough. Today I thought it should have it’s turn in the limelight.
This first one uses the lovely All is Bright Designer Series Paper. You don’t need too much on the card when you use this paper. The stocking is stamped in Garden Green. For the sentiment I heat embossed that in white on black card and then punched it out with the Classic Label Punch.
This card was one from one of my Christmas Stamp A Stack Classes recently. The stocking was stamped in Garden Green and the white oval card was layered on to Silver Glimmer Paper. The Garden Green card mat was embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder. The Real Red Twine is retired. I don’t usually use retired products in classes but I ran out of the thin Red Ribbon. Adding a small strip of Under The Mistletoe DSP adds a little contrast to it. Everyone did like making this card I think. It’s nice when you can make up 3 of these cards in class in a hurry and they are ready to go.
A few posts ago I posted a little giveaway for reaching 50 Wednesday’s WOW! Today I can announce the winner of the Bling Pack.
Congratulations Joy Stewart. I will drop you an email shortly to arrange them to be sent to you.

Here we are Wednesday’s WOW! #50. I really didn’t even consider I would get to that number when I first started just this year. How fun it has been sharing fun projects and videos with you. Have you enjoyed them?? Today for #50 I have a special project that I have been sitting on for a few weeks waiting to share with you – and Today is the day! And since it is such a big milestone I thought I would have a little giveaway on my blog. It’s been a while since I have done that so be sure to read all the details below.
So today’s project is … A Pyramid Card. Have you made one of these before. I thought it would be fun to make one and share it with you.
This is the front view.
This is the back view.
I have put together a video for you and have some photos too below.
Apologies in advance for the video quality. I am working on that. 😉
The Pyramid card can be made to any size. The principles to make them are the same. Work out the approximate height you would like and the size of the card squares will be approximately three-quarters of that height.
Tutorial and measurements for the Pyramid card above.
Cut 3 squares of card to 10.5 cm (Just over 4”).
Cut 2 squares of Designer Series Paper (DSP) slightly smaller than is 4mm or 1/8”. Squares for this one would be 10.1cm or 4”).
1) Score each card piece diagonally once. Fold on the scored line.
2) Cut both squares of DSP in half diagonally. Flip one triangle over to use the opposite pattern. You may choose to use a completely different piece of DSP for a different pattern choice. You may choose to have each piece the same. Adhere the DSP triangles onto one panel of each card
3) (NB: In these photos I didn’t adhere the Designer Series Paper before assembling). Position one of the squares behind another square underneath the other square. Before applying adhesive, check the position so you only apply adhesive to where it is needed. Repeat this for each card piece.
Be careful where you place the adhesive as you won’t want to place it all over your card.
4) You can choose to adhere the third square to the first square to assemble it permanently or you can add a Velcro dot to the edge piece, or add ribbon to tie it together so it can come apart to lay flat for posting.
– Decorate your Pyramid card as you like.
OK, now for the prize. Since it’s the 50th Wednesday’s WOW! I have a Blog Giveaway of … some BLING! We all love bling and let’s face it we can use it to cover up a multitude of mistakes. Who does that?? 🙂
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
I will pick a winner at random. To enter please leave a comment on where you are from and what you love seeing when you come to visit my blog. I will close the entries on Friday midday. AEST The bling giveaway is only for Australian residents only sorry. BUT if you are an international visitor please leave a comment and I will send a handmade card off to you. I am allowed to do that. 🙂
So enter away. And thanks for visiting me.

I know I have featured the All is Bright Designer Series Paper a lot recently for my 12 Weeks of Christmas. But hey! it’s a fun, festive paper and so easy to make cards with and that is what 12 Weeks of Christmas is all about.
Here we have Week 11 of our 12 Week of Christmas series.
The card base is Garden Green. The red card mat was embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. The piece of All is Bright Designer Series paper which is about 7.5cm wide (3″) was cut to a banner ends with scissors. The circle wreath from the Making Christmas Bright was stamped in Garden Green. The sentiment was stamped in black and the Bright was stamped in Real Red. I added some Red Rhinestones for dress up the wreath. This circle wreath was adhered on to a scallop circle in Gold Foil cut with the Layering Circles Framelits. Before adhering this piece to the card I added some Red Satin Ribbon hanging from behind it.
I love the brightness of this card and the festive feel to it. Very traditionally red and green Christmas don’t you think?
So next Friday is our last project for our 12 Weeks of Christmas. That’s crazy! That means it’s almost Christmas. I don’t know about you but I am totally not ready. How about you?
Just a note on this stamp set too the Making Christmas Bright. This stamp set is carrying over BUT not as a bundle. If you like this stamp set then grab it now and get it at 10% off for the Bundle. It is too late for this year’s projects but then you are all ready for next year.
You can grab it in my store now -> HERE at $61 for the bundle which includes the Making Christmas Bright stamp set and the Bulb Builder Punch. Please use the Host Code: BZ6KB7SU or you can contact me directly.
