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.
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
There are some great free sets for your Sale-A-Bration choices this year but none more cooler than the So Hoppy Together set. I have played around with this set recently. This is just one of the cards to share with you.
Isn’t he a cute fellow? I stamped him first over the Coastal Cabana base card in Coastal Cabana Ink. I stamped him also in Stazon on white card and coloured him in with the Watercolor Pencils. Then lightly washed over him with the Aquapainter. The white card was then cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. A strip of Granny Apple card was embossed with the Sparkle Embossing Folder.
I like making Thinking of You or Hellotype cards to send out to people. I love this sentiment from the new Butterfly Gala set. I think I will be using this sentiment a bit. I stamped it on to a strip of white card and cut it with the Rectangle Stitched Framelitsand cut a strip of Granny Apple Green card too and offset it under the sentiment piece. Of course, bling to finish with an adhesive Rhinestone.
I have more froggy cards to come. You can see the So Hoppy Togetherset and all the other free Sale-A-Bration choices in my store -> HERE.Remember to grab your free choice with your $90 or $180 AUS order. Thank you for your order too.

Happy New Year to you. Thanks for sharing with me on this journey. Onwards to a creative 2019!
Ok, I know Christmas is done with for another year but I have one more post to share with you. Recently I had a Team Card Swap for my JEN’s INK team. I thought I would share them all with you because I love each and everyone of my team members and I love that they got involved. I will say that some were very nervous to take part. So I am proud of them.
It was a Christmas theme. It was a small group involved for this one because this time of year gets a bit crazy. But give them all a cheer. They all did well.
My card was the top left one with the Making Christmas Brightset. I was inspired by a card on Pinterest. Now I can’t find who it was by. I hadn’t Pinned it. Oops! I liked the idea of stamping it on Crumb Cake. I thought I had a single photos of it but I can’t find it now. Crazy times forgetting everything. 🙂

FARMHOUSE CHRISTMAS CARD
The card above was made for my 12 Weeks of Christmasseries 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 Bundlewhich 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 Ribbonto finish. Which I should have just stuck with in the beginning. Do you have days like that?? 🙂

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 #50I 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. 😉
CREATE YOUR OWN PYRAMID CARD
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.
