If you take a look at page 7 of your Stampin’ Up! Idea Book and catalogue, you’ll see where my inspiration for this card came from. I tend to dive into the catalogue when I need some inspiration or I just want to copy something without having to think about colours, layout or the stampset I should use. I just flick through and when something jumps out at me……..I go with it! The CASE in CASE-ing stands for : “Copy And Selectively Edit”……and it’s my favourite technique!
Did you know that the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue has full colour photos of hundreds of gorgeous hand-stamped creations and you can download a list of the supplies used for each and every sample in the catalogue here.
If you don’t yet have  your own Idea Book and Catalogue you can purchase one from me for $12.95 including shipping to any location in Australia or get a group of friends together for an afternoon or evening of creating and you’ll receive one for your craft library for free!

Here’s what I used to create this card :

Stamps : Friends 24/7, Friendly Words Stampin’ Around Jumbo Wheel

Ink : Versa Mark, Black Stazon, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink pads

Paper : Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood, Red Ivory Naturals cardstock

Accessories : Stampin’ Pastels, Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware, Paper Snips, Sponge Daubers, Riding Hood Red Satin Ribbon, Cutter Kit

Technique : Poppin’ Pastels

One of the best things about my job (apart from being paid to stamp of course!) is the wonderful people I have had the opportunity to meet and who have since joined my team.

I have a team of wonderfully talented ladies who inspire and encourage me in that they decide to love what they do and share what they love with as many others as possible. What better way to show my gratitude and thankfulness for having them as part of my life than by …….sending a card!

The cards pictured above were ones that I sent to some of the girls on our team who excelled in their business last month. Congratulations on a fabulous May guys!!

I got out my Sweet Sticky Cuts (p.145 in the catalogue) to play with and whipped up around 8 cards in just over an hour!

I’ve used the Sticky Cuts with both Supernova and Chunky Sprinkles Glitter…..on some cards I’ve mixed the two different glitters together which looks really awesome and is a great way to use up a little bit of Chunky Glitter you may have left over

The colour scheme was inspired by the Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper pictured on page 133.

Here’s a list of what I used to create my cards, all available from Stampin’ Up!…………….

I had the loveliest long weekend catching up with my dear friend Linda! We ate yummy food, watched some movies (well, one in particular)  and as she is also a demonstrator,  some time for stamping was definitely on the agenda

I wanted to share with you some cards that were exchanged this long weekend. We were celebrating 3 or more birthdays, so that in itself was a great excuse to give and receive some cards (not that you really need one lol!)

The two in the forground were made by Linda…….aren’t they just gorgeous! The one one the left was for my husband’s birthday….. the large oak from Lovely as Tree  is stamped in Basic Grey and the crimped cardstock and eyelets turn this into a great all occasions masculine card.

The Photo Corner punch is great for grounding a card or framing the focal point as well as in Scrapbooking for your photos. I love how Linda has used the Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon, Filigree Designer Brad, and Urban Oasis papers together on this card.

The card behind was made by me at a class taught by one of my very talented team members, Leonie. It is based on a card create by Michelle Zindorf and it was lots of fun to make. It was perfect to use for my hubby’s birthday card.

The corners of the stamped image were cut with the Cuttlebug and the circles on the card at the bottom right hand side were made with a Coluzzle.

What is your favourite stampset to use for a masculine card?
