Sale A Bration You're Lovely

I recently attended a regional team training day in my role as a Stampin Up Demonstrator, and want to share with you the Swap I made for the occasion. Those of you who are unfamiliar the 'swaps' I'll explain. To help keep our inspiration fresh and current, we are asked to make multiple copies of the same card, scrapbook page or 3D project of our choice. There is usually a theme. This time it was this years Sale A Bration promotion. So I made 30 card to swap with the other attendees on the day.

I love the swaps as you get so much inspiration from other Demonstrators. And when I talk about Demonstrators, here again we are all different. I do not do home parties or a hard sell of the products as I believe the products sell themselves. BUT I run classes. I love teaching, always have, and I run scrapbook, cardcraft and home decore classes. AND I get to offer amazing quality products for attendees to use during class.

Anyway, here is my swap:

Spring & Summer Catalogue 2014

I can hardly believe that the Winter Catalogue is gone and the Spring Summer Catalogue is here.
I have already been playing with my Pre-Order products and I am delighted with the new stamps, punches, die and Designer Series Papers in the Catalogue. There are varius party kits with Banners etc, AND a Burplap Wreath Kit that includes die cuts to make beautiful flowers to go on it.

Here are some of my creations using the new products:

This lovely card is made using papers from the Fresh Prints Designer Series Papers (132996). The Sentiment Stamp is a Sale A Bration freebie (See Ya Later 133533) when you spend £45 on an order During 2014 Sale A Bration promotion period.

This card was made using circle collection Framelits (130911); & the Starburst Sayings Stamp Set & Starburst Framelits die bundle (134817); rgw Summer Starfruit cord is one of the free accessories you can choose when placing an order of £45 during 2024 Sale A Bration.

A card for the men, made using the Starburst Sayings/Starburst Framlits Bundle, as well as the Retro Fresh Designer Series Papers (132993)

This was a quick make and take I did recently at a Team Training Day. The Stamp Set isHappy Watercolour (133188) and includes the sentiment stamp, and the distressed dots stamp seen on the card above.

 Another Make and Take project form our recent Training day. This one uses a stamp from the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set (133227, the banner punch (One of the Sale A Bration freebies you can choose for every £45 order placed), and crisp cantaloupe ruffle ribbon.

Another masculine card, that could even be used on a card or scrapbook for your other half on Valentines Day. The Stamp Set is called Hello Sailor132992, plus striped Pacific Point grosgrain ribbon (132981) Decorative Dots TIEF, and antique brads (117273)

 This was a Fancy Fold card made at our recent training day featuring many of the products in the new seasonal catalogue. The Happy Watercolour (133188) Stampset is my most favourite of all the new sets.

This is another of the stamps in the Happy Watercolour stamp set. And I adore the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Papers. Lots of Pear Pizzaz and  Crisp Cantaloupe colours going on.

And again ... I told you that Happy Watercolour was my favourite Stamp Set ... didn't I?? he he

Lastly, here is the wreath I made from the Burlap and Blooms Kit ( 133333) from the new catalogue. Best results are made with the use of a hot melt glue gun to put the flowers together and sewn onto the wreath, but it is a really pretty piece of home decore. You can add your own embellishments to the kit, but I rather liked it as it is.

I hope you enjoyed viewing my makes and do feel free to leave comments 

Happy Stampin Folks ... Till Next Time

Scrapbook Challenge 1

Well Here we are ... Our First Scrapbook Challenge. 

Using Templates and Challenges is a way of preventing crafters block, and keeps your creative juices following. It helps build new friendships and a great way of networking with other like minded crafters. Challenges help us develop our own styles too.

I personally am guilty of using the same template (just rotating it around) too frequently, and I always enjoy viewing scrapbooking crafters work, and admire their creativity. So these challenges are as much for myself as much as they are for all of you. So if like me, most of your photos are either in the loft or on a memory stick/sim card, now is the time to get them out and work with them to create some amazing memories.

Those memories can be used during the times when life gets a little tough. We all have them, but reminiscing on events you documented in your scrapbooks will give you a lift so you can pick yourself up, dust yourself off and carry on :) Happy Scrappin!

This Month we are using Creative Scrappers Template #210

Your scrapbook creations are to be made using the Some or the following colours:

White

Brown

Orange

Black

Black & Smokey Slate (grey)

Valentine in Love

Here at The Warren, we have been busy creating Valentines Cards. If you don't do Valentines Day, then make any day one of Love. After all, those of us that craft, love sharing the love with the creations we make for family and friends. Any day is therefore a love day.

This year my colours for Valentines is Black, Smokey Slate, Real Red and Whisper White.

I have enjoyed using dry embossing with black on black one layer cards (OLC), with a teeny bit of red, or black and heat embossed sentiments in Pewter.

This card is a Black on Black, heat and dry embossed card (Be My Valentine) with a teeny red heart and Real Red 3/8" ribbon

Here is a Bkack, Real Red & Smokey Slate layered Label Card. The top of the label is a sneak peek of a new punch in the Spring/Summer Catalogue coming out this week. Rose red seam binding ribbon, and a new heart stamp, stamped onto vellum.

The background for this card was made using a new flower heart stamp (in the new catalogue) and then over sponged with rose red to give a flock appearance. The FABULOUS sentiment stamp is highlighted using the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF)

The SOMEONE card is made using a new paper stack in the upcoming catalogue, along with some new frameliets for the banners. Perfect for giving to the love of your life whether male or female.

Here is a Black OLC dry embossed with Designer Frames TIEF, and the sentiment is heat embossed using pewter embossing powder. Add some Real Red ribbon and a hear punched from within a heart and bingo.

Lastly, the And Found You card is a black card layered with gold Foil that has been dry embossed with a TIEF from the new catalogue, the card base has also been dry embossed using one of the Adorning Accents TIES (tiny hearts) that have been hghlighted using a silver pen.

And there you have it, my Vanlentines Card makes ... for the moment. I am certain there will be more.
