Gentle Peace Stained Glass Window Card

I love a successful stamping day!
This is the NEW Photopolymer set 'Gentle Peace'. I stamped the image with Stazon on vellum, flipped it over and then coloured in the 'stained glass' with Blendability pens.
I then stamped the same image to the front of the card and cut out the outside edge leaving a hole to adhere the image from the back. I will probably do a tutorial of this one although its not too tricky to figure out. 
I am in love with how well this turned out. Thinking this will be one of the cards we mail out this year. Adding a battery operated candle just makes it look even more awesome.

Kind Koala

I knew this stamp set was going to be fun. Finally an Aussie themed stamp set I can play with! Yay!

Smoky Slate is the perfect koala colour IMO. I stamped 'him' on the cardstock with Stazon and just cut him out. I love 'fussy cutting'. Much easier than colouring sometimes. I used Basic Grey for a little added depth and Daffodil Delight to add a pop of colour. The koala is popped up with Dimensionals to help him stand out a bit. He is just too cute!

Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek #2 - Festival of Trees

I am having SO much fun with this set. I have pretty much a million ideas with what I could do with it.
Available in the Holiday Catalog August 28th. The 'Festival of Trees' set also has a coordinating punch just to make life a little bit easier. The red ornaments on the tree are the little half pearls 'painted' with a Cherry Cobbler Blendability marker.

Here is another design. The colour used is Lost Lagoon.

And this one... I'm still going..

Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek #1

I love being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! One of my most favourite things is being able to order and play with stamps and products before the catalogs are released. I especially get excited for the Holiday stamps.
I know its a bit early, but I couldn't wait to play with a couple Christmas sets. Products from the Holiday Catalog will be available for purchase August 28th 2014.

This cute Santa comes from a set called 'Get Your Santa On'. Blendabilities work perfectly for colouring this guy in. The stars embossing folder is also new.

One of my favourite sets from last year made a come back to my excitement. Endless Wishes was a set released individually that had sold out. Both of these sets are Photopolymer.

I still have a couple more sets I haven't had the chance to play with yet so stay tuned.

A Baby Girl Card

This card was made for a dear friend who is having a baby. 

I made the card to match her nursery and am pretty happy with how it turned out.

RAK project

After getting some very sad news about the passing of one of my fellow stampers, it's got me thinking about how much we need to bless and love on people while they're still around. 
With that being said, I would like to start a new project. The amount of interest I get will determine how often I do it. 
My idea is to make a 'Thinking of you' card, or something to that effect, and ask you to 'like' it if you know someone that could use some encouragement. I will choose a name randomly from the pool of likers within a few days.
This would serve basically as a Random act of Kindness or RAK. 
With that being said, f you know someone that needs to be reminded how AWESOME they are, like this post on my Facebook page. I will choose a liker randomly. I will then ask you to PM me with the intended receiver's details and the card will be sent to them anonymously. 

Hexagonal Treat Box

Guess who's been prowling on Pinterest again? You guessed it! I love when I come across something that's a little different, but instantly gets my creative juices mixing. This was one of those things. When I find things on Pinterest, I always try to put my own spin on things, not that there is anything wrong with CASEing. (Copy And Share Everything) It's just not my thing. So here is my little version.

I found this tutorial by Erna Logtenberg. It was in Dutch. Thank you again to my handy dandy little computer for translating. It was intended to hold a tea light but as you can see, I changed it into a Treat Box instead and added some clear windows. I will work on a tutorial of my own for this one in the near future.

I made the cute little banner from this years Sale-a-bration products - Banner Blast and Banner Punch.
