Another Sneak Peek in the Fancy Frost Chapter for CTC#105

Hello and Welcome Again to our Sunday night Blog Hop!!

This week, we are CASEing projects from the Fancy Frost Chapter of our Holiday Catalogue,

and I've used this cute little project on page 42 featuring Glamper Greetings as my inspiration!!

I got to use a NEW stamp from our upcoming Sale-a-bration offering to give you a fantastic sneak peek!!

Most of the cards is pretty similar to the original - and I've used the Tasty Trucks stamp set instead of that awesome caravan.  It's a bit tricky to see in the photo but I used some of the fine tip glue pen on the tyres, cupcakes and awning so they have some texture and are really glossing in real life!!

Now it's time for you to continue on the hop and see the rest of our amazing design team and their projects for this week!!

And please feel free to join in our fun challenge this month by adding your projects as this link.

CTC#104 Stampin' Up Inspiration from Petals & Paisley

Hello and Welcome along to our Sunday Night Blog Hop where we CASE the Catty and you get to hop through the entire design team for inspiration and creativity.  

This week, we are featuring the lovely Petals and Paisley Suite from our Holiday Catalogue, and I have CASED (Copy and Selectively Edited) this project from page 46.

I've kept the same layout, and changed some of the colours and stamps.  I've used the lovely Irresiistibly Floral Specialty Designer Paper and sponged over the top with Smoky Slate, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay using our lovely sponge brayer.

The stamped greetings and the framelit edging are a little sneak peek from our upcoming Occasions Catalogue - from the Falling in Love Suite.  One of the wonderful benefits of being a demonstrator is going along to our Onstage training event and then getting to see and use products before everyone else!!  I'm so grateful my friend Naomi encouraged me to join Stampin' Up! 10 years ago!!

Now it's time for you to continue your hop through the whole design team.  I really love seeing the wonderful projects and ideas that our whole team shares!!

   

  

And when you've been through everyone, make sure you join the fun and add your project into our monthly challenge using the link below.

If you get lost along the way, head on over to our blog and you'll see links to all the projects from the whole design team.

Thank you for visiting, and we hope to see you again next Sunday evening for some more great inspiration!!

It's all about the giving to each other.

Stampin' Up! demonstrators are a creative lot!!  But you already know that!

They are also a very giving and sharing breed too.

When we go away for a Stampin' Up! event, one of the gorgeous traditions is to create 'pillow gifts' for our roomies.  I stayed with 4 other delightful ladies who are very dear friends, and these are my gifts I gave to them.

I used all of my favourite images from the Serene Scenery paper stack and make bookmarks, 

and also create a 'book-like' gift box full or yummy choccies.

You'll have to visit again another day when I show you all the gorgeous gifts I received in return!!

If you would like to create some gorgeous gifts like this to give to your friends (Christmas is looming rather quickly!!), please call me so we can make a date to create!!!

My swaps for Onstage Brisbane #Onstage2016

One of the most wonderful parts of any Stampin' Up! event is 'swapping' cards, ideas, and getting to know other demonstrators.  I'm part of a couple of different groups, so I was able to participate in 3 different swaps!!  This Father Christmas Card is actually an ATC trading size card - 3" x 4".  You'll have to visit again another day to see all 30 of the ATC swaps that I collected - they look fabulous!!

This Touches of Texture card is the swap I used to get to know new people at OnStage.  I tried to swap with some people who were experiencing a Stampin' Up! event for the first time - there are just so many lovely lovely people who all love to create and share their inspirational ideas!!  

And my final swap is the one I made for the CASEing the Catty blog hop team (CTC) and we swapped full cards featuring products from the current Holiday Catalogue.  I chose to feature Star of Light in Non-traditional Christmas Colours.

I hope you like all my swap ideas, and that you are inspired too!!  Please call me to make a date and we can create some (or all) of these gorgeous ideas with your friends!!
