Actually I'm glad that it has come to an end. It was a difficult year for many of my dear friends and a complete new home for us. So anyone that has ever moved after living in their home for over 40 years, will understand how exhausting it can be.  It has taken me months to sort out all my crafting boxes and try and make myself a craft area. 

Hopefully you will now see a little more from me as I do feel a little bit more organised. Eek did I just say that? I hope I haven't jinxed myself!!

I'M BACK

Hello crafting friends, it has been quite some time since my last post. A lot has transpired during this period. Unfortunately, Covid-19 resulted in the cancellation of many of my card classes. On top of that, we encountered some additional challenges. Our home was severely affected by a terrible weather event, causing leakage in the roof and resulting in the growth of black mold. Consequently, our insurance company relocated us to a hotel room. Regrettably, many others found themselves in similar situations, so what was initially supposed to be a few weeks turned into a grueling six-month stay in the hotel. 

Despite the numerous hardships we faced during these six months, I firmly believe that there is always a silver lining if we search for it. For me, the positive aspect of this ordeal came in the form of friends and creativity. A dear friend whom I met through my involvement with Stampin' Up! many years ago provided unwavering support and encouragement. Whenever I felt down, she knew exactly what to say to lift my spirits and keep my creative juices flowing. I found solace in crafting at a nearby coffee shop, where I was joined by my wonderful group of ladies. Eventually, when our home was restored to its previous state, we made the decision to downsize from our spacious and beautiful four-bedroom house, complete with my beloved craft studio, to a smaller residence.

We have recently settled into a new residence, finished unpacking, and I have set up my craft room. Due to limited space in my studio, my classes are now smaller in size. However, we have already completed some remarkable projects and shared many enjoyable moments. I am feeling optimistic and excited about providing more frequent updates. I am excited to participate in the yearly Quota Craft and Gift Fair, scheduled to be held at the Sleeman Centre Chandler on Saturday, October 7th and Sunday, October 8th. At our booth, we will offer discounted prices on retired Stampin' Up! products. If you are a Stampin' Up! enthusiast seeking a fantastic bargain, make sure to visit us. Apart from the sales table, we will also conduct workshops on both days.



So why not join us for an exciting creative workshop that will unlock the potential of your paper stash, enabling you to craft stunning packaging just in time for the holiday season. Embrace the art of gift presentation as we guide you through innovative techniques. Plus, you'll gain entry to the fair, with a chance to win a remarkable $500 Stampin' Up! bundle. Our skilled instructors will provide expert guidance, ensuring you have a rewarding experience.Secure your spot now and take advantage of our limited-time early bird offer: only $45 if you register before October 3rd or until all spots are filled. After that, the regular price of $50 will apply. Choose between two convenient dates: either Saturday, October 7th, or Sunday, October 8th. The class will run from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm, allowing for a leisurely lunch break and ample time to explore the fair before and after the session. Book through this link

KITS COLLECTION

  •  Do you want to create cards quickly? 
  • Are you taking a trip away and want to do a little crafting along the way?
  • Do you have a crafting friend that would love a crafty gift? 
  • Are you a volunteer and need craft ideas?

Stampin" Up! have created heaps of kits and I'm sure there will be one that suits your purpose

Here are a few that may interest you, if you want to see all the kits, then head over to my Online shop.


Let me show you some of the kits...

A Little Smile Card Kit makes 8 cards and you get to keep the stamp set and the ink pad. It also has the acrylic block, how good is that?

 
For the Guys Card Kit will suit for making masculine cards. I don't know about you but many people have trouble coming up with male cards. It covers everything Father's Day, Birthdays, Anniversary and so many more sentiments. I recon this is a great kit.

No Matter the Weather Card Kit is a cute kit, I love the gumboots and the speckles are very handy for all sorts of cards. I love this kit.

This is my favourite, The Sentimental Rose Card Kit has sentiments for all occasions and isn't the flower just gorgeous.

So there you go, a few of the kits, there are so many more. Some of the kits do not come with stamp sets, acrylic blocks or ink pads. All of the above do.

CASE = Copy and Share Everything

Isn't this clever? Who loves looking at others ideas, I know I do.

Stampin" Up!s concept artist did just that by CASEing the It’s Your Birthday card three different ways. She created the Catching Butterflies card by using the Highland Heather Stampin’ Write Marker to make a striped background. 


Pro Tip: try making your lines thicker or thinner by doing more or fewer marker strokes.

Just CASE the colour scheme from the It’s Your Birthday card to create our Driving By card (Gray Granite, Just Jade, Pale Papaya, and Pool Party—it’s a great colour combination for any occasion)!


 This card is a great reminder that you don’t have to copy every detail exactly to make a great card.

Need help with the layout of your next card? Look no further than the Awesome Otters card. Our concept artist CASEd the layout from the It’s Your Birthday card by die cutting a few Tailor Made Tags and stacking them on one another. So cool!


Do you love these cards. You can get these stamps FREE during Sale a Bration

Same same but different

 I love making a card then using the same design, change the look just by using a different stamp or Designer Series Paper

This Christmas card I used the Tailored Tag Punch to punch out the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper.



This Christmas card I used the Tailored Tags Punch again to punch out the Forever Green Designer Series Paper.

Same design and yet they look so different
