12 Days of Christmas – Day 4

Posted on December 8, 2018 by sharon

Thanks for joining me on my 12 Days of Christmas Series. Today is day 4 and I have a gorgeous product for you.
This project was originally designed by Intertwyned Designs in the UK. I loved it so much that I have re-created it in the Santa’s Workshop Designer Series paper.

I have used the Simply Scored Board and the Envelope Punch Board to make the little bon bons. The video to make the bon bons are here.

The box is made using 2 sheets of 12 X 12 card stock but you can find the tutorial here.

These are such great little projects to make as a little gift for a teacher with a couple of chocolates inside or rather than buying the christmas crackers from the shop, why not make these for your table this Christmas?

12 Days of Christmas – Day 3

Posted on December 7, 2018 by sharon

Welcome to day 3 of My 12 Days of Christmas series. This project was created out of necessity for a gift for some older nieces that are harder to buy for.

I have made some bath bombs that the girls can use out of essential oils and other chemical free products. I also used some food colouring to die them a mint green to keep in the Christmas theme. The Essential oils I’ve used is Young Living oils. I have found that these oils are of the highest quality and I use them in my everyday life as well. If you’d like to know more about Young Living essential oils then please get in touch.

The tag was made using the Santa’s Workshop Specialty designer series paper. This paper is so whimsical. Some of the sheets have some white flocking on them which makes them extra special.

I’ve cut out one of the little elves from the DSP to add a little whimsy onto the tag as well. Its super cute. The ribbon is gorgeous and is from the same suite of products.

All the products I’ve used are listed below along with some complimenting products.

12 Days of Christmas – Day 2

Posted on December 6, 2018 by sharon

Welcome to Day 2 of my 12 Days of Christmas!

Today I’m sharing a gift that we’re giving to my eldest Daughters Flute Teacher. She has been teaching Lizzie for 4 years. Lizzie is going to high school next year so there will be a change of music teachers. I am so thankful to her teacher for the guidance and patience with Lizzie.

I made a set of 10 Christmas gift tags that she can use on gifts. I also made a little box for the tags to go in. I used the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper which is such a gorgeous pack of paper.

The Year-End Closeout Sale is on now as well so grab a bargain before your favourite products are gone for good.

12 Days of Christmas – Day 1

Posted on December 5, 2018 by sharon

Welcome to my 12 Days of Christmas!

Last year I did this and wanted to do it again this year. A group of posts that can help you with your Christmas shopping and gift giving.

This first project was an idea I’ve seen around using the Santa’s Bags from the Holiday Catalogue. I have uses Momento ink to stamp with as I was using photopolymer stamps. Stazon ink would be permanent but I really don’t like to use it on my photopolymer stamps. I haven’t coloured Santa in as I know that the colour will bleed and I really like the look of the black.

The bag & tag were given to me at Stamp camp with a prize patrol inside, however it wasn’t stamped. I wanted to step it up some more. The tag is from the Santa’s Workshop Memories & More cards with some Real Red ribbon tied on.

On the flip side of the tag I added some Whisper white card and stamped the To & From from the same stamp set. I can now use this to put a little gift in or some money. A couple of my nephews have requested money as their gift as they are saving up for some larger priced items.If you’d like to order any of these products you’d better get in quick as there is only 1 month left to order from the Holiday catalogue and items will be selling out from here on in. You can click on any of the products below to go to my online store. And don’t forget to use the hostess code RVWCUSPY during the month of December to get an extra thank you from me.

CentreStage – Melbourne

Posted on November 30, 2018 by sharon

Centrestage is an event for Demonstrators titled at Silver Elite or above. I made the title of Silver Elite a couple of years ago and have been fortunate to attend 4 of these events.

Centrestage is a time when we have some specialised training for leaders and Stampin’ Up! make announcements so that we can better support our downlines.

In Melbourne this year we were treated to a lovely dinner and dessert which I got to enjoy with the lovely Marelle, our Team leader and Melissa a fellow demonstrator under Marelle. This was the first time we’d met Melissa as she is from WA.

And finally the three of us also had a photo with the Stampin’ Up logo. It was such a great night to share with these two amazingly talented women.

If you would like the opportunity to start and grow your Stampin’ Up! business then contact me and we can set some goals and get you on the path to CentreStage
