Hello friends! I was so excited when I went in to check on the Leaves of Holly stamp set that it is BACK IN STOCK!  Hooray!  I know I had a lot of customers that were waiting on it to arrive, and so now they have been able to put in their orders not only for the stamp set, but for the bundle and suite as well. 

So if you have been waiting on this one, then hop over to the ONLINE STORE, and grab it now!

And if you would like to see what I did with it last night.... you can watch my most recent Sunday Night live video.  We made the card above (plus a second project with a different set) and its always a fun way to spend a Sunday night!  Click on the video link below to watch. 

 

   

Hello friends!

Today I am really excited to share something with you that I've been planning for a little while. 

This month I will be travelling and so the usual "Online Class" I've been sending out will change a little. Instead I will be doing a LIVE public video session with you on Saturday 24th September at 2pm (Sydney time). Our theme this month is Watercolour techniques.  You can watch it live and create and interact with me and each other or you can watch the replay.  We'll make the project together and then I'll also show you several more projects made with more Watercolour techniques.  There will be recorded tutorials available to make these projects also available. 

Here's the exciting bit... I will be sending out supply packs by mail to make the project live with me.  How do you get a supply pack?  Simply place an order for $60 or more of Stampin' Up! products during the month of August.  Then in the first half of September I will be sending a supply pack out to everyone who ordered in August - you'll receive the pack in time to CraftAlong with me on my live video.  You will ALSO receive exclusive video tutorials that I will send out by email after the live event.   

Please note that you dont need any special Watercolour skills to be able to make these types of projects.  However I would recommend that you have the following items:

• Watercolour Paper
• Water Painter (or brush and water)
• Inks - colours of your choice, including a light neutral tone (eg sahara sand, grey granite or smoky slate)
• Paper Towel
• Line drawing stamp that can be coloured (more details about this will be posted soon)

I am so excited about this new event and I cant wait to CraftAlong with you!  To go shopping use the SHOP NOW button here on my site or click HERE.

Hello friends!

This month I joined an awesome new group of video hoppers! The Global Video Hop is a team of Stampin'Up demonstrators who each post a video on a theme each month. This month the theme was "Layered Cards".... and to me nothing says "Layers" as much as a diorama card. After all, its the layers that make it work right?

So I would like to introduce you to the blog hop, and to my card today. Watch the video below, and if you would like to see other videos in the hop click the "Next Video" link in the description of the video. 

Enjoy!

Yes, I said CHRISTMAS CARDS!  

One sure way to make sure you have plenty of Christmas cards to send in December is to START EARLY!  My theory is that if I make just several Christmas cards each month from July onwards I will be more prepared come Christmas time. 

So this month saw the release of our brand new Mini Catalogue (AKA Holiday catalogue) and all the sparkly glimmery goodness that is inside.  I've chosen one of my favourite suites to start with - the Boughs of Holly suite - and all the cards in this month's class use these products.  The good news is that you don't have to have these products to create the cards - you can substitute with other products and images you might already have. Having said that, if you DO own these products, your cards will turn out more like mine of course. 

Here are all the details on how to get the class:

Option 1:  Tutorial Only - $20

No matter where in the world you live, you can purchase just the tutorial component of the class.  The tutorial will step you through each card, and all the measurements are included too (in both imperial and metric), so that you can recreate these projects at home.  You can do the tutorial at any time that suits you as it is all pre-recorded content. The "Purchase Now" button below will direct you to pay via PayPal - if you are unable to pay via Paypal please contact me directly.
