August Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #33

Welcome to the August Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #33. You may have joined me from Elizabeth’s Blog or you may have started here. This month’s Blog Hop is a colour challenge. Initially I didn’t have any idea what I was going to create but after playing with a Sale-a-bration stamp set today, the card came together really quickly. The new Sale-a-bration Stamp set “Textures & Frames” which you can earn for FREE with a $90 purchase. I paired this set with the “Enjoy the Moment” stamp set from the Annual Catalogue.

We needed to use 3 of the new In Colors from the Annual Catalogue, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen. I chose to use the Tuxedo Black ink for the seed pod. Layering it onto a piece of Evening Evergreen and then onto a piece of Whisper White Thick card stock.

July Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #32

Welcome to the July Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #32. You may have joined me from Meigans Blog or you may have started here. This month’s Blog Hop is to create a card a designated layout. I enjoy the layout challenges as it can take some of the hard work out of the challenge for me. Are you loving the Hand-Penned stamp as much as I am? That’s why I chose this stamp set to create with this month. The sentiments weren’t quite going to work with my card so I did need to substitute with another stamp set for the sentiment and so I used the stamp set Peaceful Moments for the Thank you.

One of the colours that I really love is Granny apple Green and so I paired that with Polished Pink & Fresh Freesia and then also used Basic Black to make the flowers pop.

June Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #31

Welcome to the June Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #31. You may have joined me from Kylie’s Blog or you may have started here. This month’s Blog Hop is to create a card using Black, White and add one other colour. The challenge may sound easy as you just work in monochrome but then you need to decide which colour you want to add into the project and with 50 colours to choose from, that can get quite challenging. I chose to use Daffodil Delight and used the blending brushes to colour in the True Love Patterned paper that is retiring at the end of the month so you should purchase your pack today before it is gone.

Tying some daffodil delight ribbon around the centre breaks up the daisies. Using the tailored tag punch and the retiring You are Amazing stamp set for the sentiment finishes off the card.

May Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #30

Welcome to the May Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop #30. You may have joined me from Melissa’s Blog or you may have started here. This month’s Blog Hop is to create a card using this layout. The layout challenges can be quite fun and this one came together really quickly. I have had a very busy month and so wasn’t sure if I was going to get the chance to create my card but on Wednesday I sat down and created this card. What do you think?

Starting with the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and coordinating dies, I created this card. I added some of the gold leaf foil to the centre of the flowers to add a bit of interest. The foil is to die for.

Its hard to see the shimmer of the foil in the photo but, if you look carefully, you may just see it and the foil is so fabulous to play with. I used the Curvy dies for the shape of the Fresh Freesia card in the background. Using the Black ink I stamped the flowers and then coloured in the flowers and leaves using the fill in stamps from the Hand-Penned Petals.

October Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop #23

Welcome to the October Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop #23. You may have joined me from Kristy’s Blog or you have started here. This month’s Blog Hop is a colour Challenge. When I first looked at the colours I was thinking…. hmmm, don’t know what I’m going to create with those colours! But once I chose the stamp set I flew through the challenge. The card that came out the other end I absolutely love!!!

The colours we needed to use are Crush Curry, Calypso Coral & Pretty Peacock. I chose to use the Gorgeous Posies stamp set which made this card so quick and easy to create. The dots are stamped in Pretty Peacock but I felt it would have been too stark if I had of stamped full strength. Instead I stamped off first and then stamped onto the card to fill in the space.

Gorgeous Posies Stamp set featuring Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry & Pretty Peacock.

OnStage Highlights

There are so many highlights but I can’t share them all with you.  I can say that there is something very exciting coming very soon.  Check back again on Friday this week.

On Saturday I had the opportunity to attend OnStage on the Gold Coast with one of my downlines and other team members including my fabulous upline.

 

 

We were given the new Occasions Catalogue and upcoming Sale-a-bration Catalogue.  They both commence on 3rd January 2018.

There are some fabulous new suites for birthdays, valentines day, weddings, Easter and more.

Our Stampin’ Blends are in the new Occasions catalogue as well.  So there is something for everyone.

You can check out all the products, when they are released, on my Stampin’ Up Website.

CentreStage Gold Coast

Last night I had the privilege of attending CentreStage which is a managers only event. This was only my second time attending,
It was a lovely night where we were able to see the new catalogue and products and receive some extra thank you gifts from Stampin’ Up!

I am unable to show very much at this point on what’s coming. You’ll need to have some patience.

My husband is at home holding the fort for me while I’m away and I’m very thankful for such a supportive husband.
While I was at the dinner, I sent him a couple of texts of my meal. He in turn sent photos of his meal.

Here is what I sent him…

And this is what he sent back to me…

It was a lovely night. If you’d like to join my team and have the opportunity to attend CentreStage then sign up with my ProCRAFTinators Team and you too could be spoilt like we were last night.
