I have had the Pleasant Poppies background stamp for while and have never inked it up. Shameful I know and I really, really liked it!!
So I over the last few weeks, I made two cards. One was for my Auntie who had been unwell and the other was for a Stampin' Up party, which means I haven't been able to share either of them until today. Well I say today, one today and one tomorrow... I need to keep you coming back for more now don't I!!
This card is a CASE card, which just tells me I spend to much time on Pinterest lol. This was inspired by the uber talented Karen Barber, who runs "A Stamper's Diary" blog. To see the original card just click HERE. Her blog has some seriously gorgeous cards on there. In fact I could spend the next month just casing Karens cards.
As you can see from the original card, I haven't really changed much. just a few like tweaks here and there, but really, the card is so beautiful why would you want to change it!!
I do have two things I would like to direct you to. One was I have, yet again, used the little Petite curl label punch and matching SAB stamp set, Pretty Petites, for my little tags. I just love this pair and I'm telling you, if you only choose two SAB items this year, make sure it's these two!!
Also I wanted to point out the doily like circle that I have mounted the poppies on. That is one of the circles that comes with the Perfect Pennant die, which I used here to make my DS2 birthday banner. See how versatile that die is. I love something that can multi task!!!
Have Fun,
Chlo

Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop!!!
Woo Hoo it's Sale-A-Bration time, which also means yet another blog hop with the ESAD girls. I love these ladies, they are such an inspiration!!
So I'm guessing you just hopped over from the seeing the delights that Narelle has dished up... Man that girl is good!!!
What is ESAD, I hear you say?
ESAD stands for "Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators" and it is an on-line group just for Australian and New Zealand Stampin' Up! demonstrators.
We so love what we do and not only do we love to share it with our customers, friends, and wonderful blog visitors, but we share our love for what we do with each other as demonstrators. We run swaps, challenges, tutorials, product know-how, and cyberstamps, and we are always there to help and support each other when it is needed.
So if you are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, then please feel free to click here to join our wonderful group
So today I'm sharing a quick set of note cards, that I will be sending out as my customer Thank You cards for this month.
Here I have used 4 different products that you can choose for free out of the Sale-A-Bration catty. The little "Thank You" stamp is from the "Pretty Petites" stamp set and I have punched it and the DSP using the matching Petite Curly Label punch. I just love these two freebies, I can't believe how much I've used it actually.
The ribbon and Button come together as one product and they are gorgeous in "real life". The ribbon is so soft and delicate. Oh and the beauitful DSP is called Sycamore street and is simply stunning. You will all go crazy for it!!
Right thats all from me for now, but time for you to hop on over to the super talented Emily Campbell. I can't wait for you to see the amazing creation she has come up with!!!
Have Fun,
Chlo

Butterfly and Owls
Wow, I have to admit I'm pretty much over making Christmas cards. I know we still have 9 days to go until the big day but it seems like I have been making Christmas cards, tags and ribbons for months... well I think I probably have actually lol!
So today we have a slight change of pace. I have been "Pinsurfing" this week and found the most amazingly beautiful card. The creator of this masterpiece, Erica Cerwin, is so super talented. In fact I repinned heaps of cards from her gorgeous blog Pink Buckaroo. You must pop over and take a look, but allow for a few hours as there is so much to look through!!
Anyway, the first card I made was a complete CASE of Erica's. I just loved the easy of this card and it's made entirely of punches... gotta LOVE that!!
Are you wondering how I made those gorgeous little tags in the middle of the butterfly? Well, then you have just found my first Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peek!!
Don't know what Sale-A-Bration is ??
It is the largest Stampin' Up! promotion period of the year where you get free stamp sets and accessories!
Every year from mid-January until the end of March, Stampin' Up! gives you the opportunity to earn fantastic, limited-edition stamp sets and accessories.
I will give you more information a little bit near the time, but just keep 22nd January saved in your diaries!!
Anyway, the tags that I have used for this card is a sneak peek look at one of the FREE stamp sets you can choose during Sale-A-Bration. Aren't they super cute!! There are eight stamps in this set, all as gorgeous as these two.
Oh and the Sneak Peek doesn't stop there... Are you wondering, "How did she 'cut' them out?" "Could there be a matching punch???" The answer would be a huge big YES!!!!
So after I made the card in Blue I of course wanted to try some other colour and ideas. So here is a gorgeous pink version...
Both these cards have homes waiting for them. This pink one is going to my cousins little girl who has a birthday over the New Year. Little Emma is turning 3 and she's such a girly girl, she will LOVE this card!!
I then wanted to try something for my friends son who is turn 12. Ok I know what your thinking, how do you adapt a pink Butterfly card for a 12 year old boy... The Owl punch of course!!!
OMG, how gorgeous is that!! And still super easy and all made out of punches. I just hope he's as pleased with it as I am lol.
Well that's enough from me today. I do still have a few more Christmas cards to share with you over this week, so check back in for some more inspiration.
Have Fun,
Chlo
