Creative Escape

Posted on February 21, 2023 by sharon

Creative Escape is a one day event held in Pennant Hills in Sydney. It is for the crafty person that just needs to take some time out to be creative and chat with other like minded crafty people.

My little stamping business is almost 15 years old. I have held classes in my home however they haven’t grown and I feel they have become a bit stale. So they always say “A change is as good as a holiday” so my change is that I’ll be running the Creative Escape.

*A $50.00 Goody Bag

*15 Make n Takes
* 3 Gifts throughout the day
*Snacks and lollies
*Coffee, Tea and Water

On the Farm

Posted on February 20, 2023 by sharon

Today we are “On the Farm” 🙂 On my Facebook live on Friday I chose to play with the On the Farm Bundle and coordinating papers Day at the Farm which you can earn for Free but only till the end of February during Sale-a-bration.

This is a great bundle that you can use to build up a scene on your card. I chose to create 6 cards, 3 simple cards showing off the Designer Series Paper and 3 stepped up cards. Again using the DSP with a touch of stamping. I had a couple of technical issues on my Facebook live but maybe it was more a PEBTAC error – The problem exists between table and chair – that is ME 🙂

I had fun creating all these cards though and I hope you enjoy watching me create the cards.

You can find the video from Friday below. There is a short/quick video that I created at the same time, but I did move the camera slightly so half way through I am on an angle. All the products I have used are in the list at the bottom of this post. It should just be a quick click on the picture and it should take you straight to my store.

Have a great day and I’ll see you next time.

Friendly Gnomes

Posted on February 13, 2023 by sharon

The Friendly Gnomes stamp set coordinate with the Gnomes Dies from the Holiday Mini Catalogue and you can still purchase the dies if you haven’t already. The dies were originally bundled with the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and you can see what I created with these last year at this post.

This bundle is so super cute and I love all the cards that we made. The original designs of 5 of the cards are by Ronda Wade, however I did change up the sizing for some of the cards to utilise our A4 card stock size. The last card is my design and I’m really happy with how it turned out.

I chose to create a fancy fold with a card inside a card. It is something a bit different which is why I like it so much. What do you think? The Country Gingham Designer Series Paper 6×6″ paper stack works really well with this stamp set.

Queen Bee

Posted on February 3, 2023 by sharon

The Queen Bee Stamp set is one that didn’t really appeal to me when I first went through the Mini Catalogue but after seeing a class that Erica Cerwin created I knew I just had to have it! Below are the projects I created on my facebook live today and I also added in a cute fancy fold card.

In the video below is my very quick video that is only about 8 minutes or so. If you want to watch the full video you can watch that right here. This will give you an overview of how I have created the cards. But if you’d like to watch with some extra directions then you can check out the longer video that is also on my YouTube channel.

Sentimental Park

Posted on January 27, 2023 by sharon

Today’s live is focusing on the Sentimental Park stamps and coordinating dies from the January to April Mini Catalogue. I’ve pair these with the Dandy Designs DSP that you can earn for FREE with a qualifying order of $180. This pack of designer papers contains 48 sheets of 12×12″, that’s 4 times a normal pack of Designer Series Paper.

I chose to use the Basic White Note cards and envelopes as they are quick and easy to use and are very sweet. I wanted to create some very simple cards with just stamps, ink and paper and then stepped it up with the dies.

Beautifully Happy

Posted on January 16, 2023 by sharon

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?
