Beautifully Happy

Did you miss my Facebook live on Friday? I shared with you all the Beautifully Happy Stamp Set that you can earn for free with a qualifying order of $180 if you are in Australia.

I started by cutting out a circle from a piece of basic white and using that as a mask. Grabbing my blending brushes and various colours I brush some ink onto the circle. I then stamp the flowers in black ink and stamp the sentiments.

The second group of cards is again using the Beautifully Happy stamp set. Within the stamp set are stamps that colour in the image as well which makes stamping so much easier as I am not that great with colouring and making the images look real.

Below is my Facebook Live video – on my youtube channel there is also a quick video which is less than 6 minutes long which shows how I have created the cards in quick time. Which do you prefer to watch? The quick video or the real time video?

You can check out more of my videos and other projects I’ve created using sale-a-bration products here.

January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #50

Welcome to our January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #50. Can you believe that we have hit half a century with our little Blog Hops? I am in awe of Nikki that has kept us going this whole time. I am thankful for the challenge that we have each month to keep on stamping and I hope you stamp along with us and take part in the challenges as well.

You may have joined me from Kylie’s Blog or you may be starting right here. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month. I hope this hop inspires you to get into your craft room and get creating.

This months Blog Hop is a Layout Challenge. With all the brand new products that have just been release I really had to use the new!! So I chose to take a wander through the Greatest Journey suite and created this card. I took some inspiration from the Mini Catalogue. What do you think? One fabulous thing about this bundle is that when you buy it you get a gift with purchase from the Sale-a-bration catalogue that is on now till the end of February. Cause lets face it, you will need to buy it now 🙂

January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #50

As you can see I have added a piece of Coastal Cabana on an angle under the white layer. I also stamped the trees in Soft Succulent and cut them out and then stamped numerous times onto the basic white card panel.

Continue on your hop by clicking on the “Next Blog” button or if you get lost you can come back her and click on any of the links below. There is always so much talent in these ladies and I’m proud to be in the mix of them.

The Adorable Owls are great when you colour them in with Stampin’ Blends

Last Minute Christmas Gift Packaging

With only 2 sleeps till Christmas, it is time to get serious about wrapping all those gifts and so I present to you my last minute Christmas gift packaging video 🙂

I feel so far behind on all my preparations and so I’m still wrapping gifts for my family.

Today I created 2 sets of boxes and decorated two bags that I had in my stash. The two sets of boxes were originally from Pootles.co.uk. Really simple boxes to make so you can create them with papers you already have at home.

It is also a fabulous way to use up all your designer series paper that you have been hoarding. Get it out and chop it up. In last weeks Facebook Live I showed you how to create some gift card holders and I used up some more Designer Series Paper. You can check that out here.

Today was my usual Facebook live at 10am and today I showcased the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set and coordinating dies.

I had a couple of ideas of what I wanted to create and if you’ve been watching me in the last few weeks you would have known that I am needing A LOT of gift card holders for family. Well today was no exception and I created another one 🙂

December Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #49

Welcome to our December Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #49. You may have joined me from Nikki’s Blog or you may be starting right here. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month. I hope this hop inspires you to get into your craft room and get creating.

This months Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. I found this colour combination fairly quick and easy to use. With Christmas around the corner I knew I needed to create some quick and simple gift card holders and I wanted the card to be fairly simple. I saw one card I had made recently and decided to use the same stamps and layout.

Cottage Wreaths & Framed & Festive Stamp Sets to Create a Gift Card Holder

I created a video while I made the card as well so you can see exactly what I did.
