The Berry Best - Sweet Strawberry and Berry Blessings

Happy New Year guys and here's to the start of my year on the Artisan Design Team!!!

Firstly I want to say Thank You and Farewell to the out going Artisans. I really admire all of the Artisans that have been on the team previously and can not thank them enough for all their ideas and creativity. Plus you guys have been an outstanding bunch of enablers too FYI!!!

Now to share the 2021 team and I am completely blown away with the sheer talent this year. Still pinching myself that my little old face is on this graphic.

 

Gee whizz, I have my work cut out for me to keep up with these creative gods. But I do love a good challenge and so today I'm sharing two cards (as it has been a while since I last shared 😉).

 

With the start of Sale-a-Bration plus the new January - June Mini Catalogue, I  wanted to create a card with what is currently my most favourite bundle. I say currently as I'm pretty sure that will change on a weekly basis as I'm smitten over this new catalogue. Anyway back to today's cards:

I can't get enough of the Sweet Strawberry Suite in the Mini catalogue. It reminds me of warm sunny days, strawberries and cream tea's, picnic's in the park... you get the idea. Plus did I mention it has a punch!! Yep say no more.

And what I really love about this bundle is, it has another coordinating stamp and some paper in the Sale-a-Bration catalogue that you can earn for free!! The bundle in the Sale-a-Bration catalogue is called Berry Blessings and includes images of raspberries and blueberries. Plus in the usual, Stampin' Up! style, the Strawberry Builder Punch actually punches out some of the strawberries found in the designer series paper. These two bundles really do have it all.

If you would like your very own copy of the new January-June Mini and Sale-a-Bration catalogue and don't already have a demonstrator, then please pop me an EMAIL with your address and I will send one out to you (Australian postal addresses only)

 

So boys and girls, strap on your seat belts and come along on a wonderful and hopefully inspiring ride with me as I head off on my Artisan adventures!

 

Happy Crafting,

Chlo

February Stamping Sisters Tutorial Bundle - Love

I'm so pleased with all the positive comments and message I've received from everyone who has already purchased this months tutorial bundle, that myself and the other Stamping Sisters have put together.

this month I did create a fun fancy fold, which I haven't seen around before and by the sounds of it, you guys thought it was super easy too. Very little measuring and the cutting and scoring is a piece of cake too.

For those of you who haven't purchased this months bundle, I thought I would add another little photo just to wait you appetite.

Doesn't it look absolutely darling.

So if you want to buy this months bundle of gorgeous tutorials, or maybe you would like to buy one of the past months, then click on the Stamping Sister tab (found above) and just simply click on the Buy Now Button for the bundle you would like.

Don't forget to share your creations and tag me in them, so I can see your gorgeous cards.

Happy Crafting,

Happy New Year 2020 - Golden Honey DSP

Happy last day of 2019 people!! How amazing that tomorrow will be new decade. This is actually the start of my 5th decade and I'm not even 40 yet, how cool is that.

And to kick off the new year, I decided to send my team a Happy New Years card, which you can see below. Now before I show it to you I wanted to tell you a little secret. This card is the only one I sent and it went to all of my team members. Yep, I sent one card to everyone on my team. Confused? Well I sent the card to one person in my team and I wrote my goal for this year inside it. Now, when that team member receives it, they will write their goal for 2020, in the same card and send it on to yet another teamie. Eventually once everyone has received the card, it will arrive back to me with everyone's goals and dreams all listed inside of it. Isn't that a cool idea!!

I kept the card fairly simple as i wanted the sentiment to really be the star of the card. Plus as it needs to go through the postal system quiet a few times, it has to hold up to all of that handling too.

I really love the sentiment and it comes from one of my favourite stamps, Strong and Beautiful, which can be found in our Annual Catalogue. This set has so many beautiful sentiments and I thought this one was perfect for this card.

Well, I had better get this card in the mail and send it on it's merry adventure. I hope you have a wonderful 2020 and that there is lots of crafting in your future!!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo

Watercolours in Cornwall - By the Bay Sale-a-Bration

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the By the Bay stamp set reminds them of the houses and coastlines on the Cornish coast in the England. It brings to mind, long sunny days, eating strawberries and ice cream. I spent lots of time in Cornwall and really hope to take the children there when we go back to visit again soon.

The pretty little house in this set, just called to me to water colour it and I wanted to use this card for a man or a women so I left the colours pretty neutral for that reason.

I wanted to keep this card as simple as possible and I thought the little sentiment was just perfect and all I needed to add to finish it off.

So many of the Sale-a-Bration goodies are selling out so don't hesitate, place an order and grab your favorites today!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo
