Our male cards

I am rather excited about gears, steering wheels and cogs. All these things are on the Designer Series Paper (DSP) It has got so many great designs that my mind is buzzing with ideas.My first class this year kicked off with male cards using the Geared Up Garage bundle.

Our first card All Geared Up uses a strip of DSP and then the bottle from our Bubble Over stamp set and matching die, stamped in Pumpkin pie. This was raised up on the DSP strip. The oil can and tool box were stamped in Momento Black ink. I love how we can mix black and white with colour and it all just goes together.

This Soft Suede card was a favourite of everyones. The cogs on the Whisper White card were created by using a cut out of the cogs die.  We sponged over this and then sponged up the edges with Soft Suede. We then cut another set of cogs in Soft Suede, snipped two of them to pop under the sentiment and the larger ones to tuck in the top corner. This one was easier than it looks and everyone was very pleased with their finished card.

Lastly we made this card using the Stamperatus, it was so much easier to line up the car and have it in the right place. Oh I do love our newest tool, the stamperatus is definitely a favourite. We stamped all the images in Black Momento Ink, 2 on Smokey Slate and 2 on Merry Merlot. Adheared them on to a Smokey Slate base, then again using the Stamparatus we stamped the sentiment on a strip of Whisper White, popped it on to a strip of Black and this was then added to the centre of the card with dimensionals.

All in all, 3 very different male cards made with this fabulous Geared Up Garage bundle. This bundle is in the Occasionals catalogue, which is available till the end of March. This is our Sale-a-Bration time, so make the most of it and receive FREE products with a qualifying order.

Here is a link to the Occasions Catalogue Online shop. Take a look and see what gorgeous products you can get at the moment.

Tea Time Framelits Die

;

Check out the last video and get excited.I recon these dies would be great for Mothers Day cards when you coordinate them with the stamp set from the Occasional Catalogue.

Precious Parcel Card Kit

Oh my word, I love these Precious Parcel Card Kits, it has 4 cards of each design and envelopes to match, also all the things needed, like paper clips. sentiments, a few other embellishments. It has that kind of Olde Worlde look to it. I adore this set. It is yours for FREE with a qualifying order from my Online Shop.

BY THE BAY

Have you noticed the By the Bay stamp set in your Sale-A-Bration brochure? This stamp set is great for masculine, feminine, or gender neutral projects because of the realistic art style and serene imagery. It was designed with colouring techniques in mind, so break out your Stampin’ Blends, your Aqua Painters, or Blender pen, and get colouring!

The Lead to Happiness sample I feel, would be a great technique class especially for avid stampers. Wouldn't it be great mixing and layering colours together to achieve this dynamic look.

The Thank You card would be great for casual crafters. Not too hard to watercolour with just a few colours to get the hang of the method without feeling overwhelmed.

Finally, the Thinking of You card is perfect for beginners. Just by using a single stamp to get a wider image. Because of the way the stamp is designed, the images have an artistic, hand-drawn look, and it can be left without being coloured in.

So what do you think of the possibilities this stamp set offers? If you place a qualifying order, you could earn this Sale-A-Bration stamp set for free.

Charming Kits

As well as for stampers on the go,  I think kits are great for beginner stampers because they don't need a lot of additional supplies to complete the project. The Precious Parcel Kit found in the Sale-A-Bration brochure is especially great for beginners!

Take a look at Shannon's video and you will see how charming this kit is.


If you came to my Catalogue Launch last Saturday you will have seen it.

A favourite of mine

Does anyone else see Anzac in these stamps? The flower looks so much like a Poppy and the rising sun just looks like the badge on our soldiers hats. Can you see that too?




There is a bit of good news with this set. Because it has been so popular, Stampin' Up! are including the Framelits in the new Annual Catalogue to be released in June.

It's time to say goodbye

It's time to say goodbye. Sale A Bration is over for another year at midnight tomorrow. What a great 3 months this has been. I have some gorgeous new free stamp sets to play with as well as ribbon and Designer Series Paper. Also my friends have managed to earn freebies as well, I'm so pleased for them.
Because of this I am going to run through a few videos of the SAB free items and what can be done with them, hopefully they will get some more ideas on what to create. Let's start with the Epic Celebrations stamp set. Apologies in advance if you get inundated with videos, I just want to inspire you all and hopefully get to see some of your projects.
