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

Orlando Onstage Report - Centre Stage and Onstage Live

What can I say but WOW!!! What an amazing week I've had. I honestly can't believe that after all the planning and the prep Onstage has been and gone and I am already back home in Australia.

Those of you who follow my Facebook Page (Find it HERE) will have already been sharing the journey with me, but I also wanted to post my adventures here too, for those who may not have seen it.

CentreStage:

CentreStage was amazing. I checked into the convention centre at 12pm and collected my gorgeous bag and all my ribbons for my lanyard. I was so excited to see my Silver Elite title ribbon and my CentreStage Attendee ribbon, but that wasn't the only surprise. I had also received a ribbon for level one in Leadership. I had no idea I would be receiving that.

I caught the bus to Epcot to spend the day with 100's of other Silver Elite and above demo's. I was so lucky to be Adopted by two gorgeous American demos, Sandy Hancock and Carol Nordquist. They both really looked after me all day and well into the evening. Stampin' Up! had put on a dessert platter in the evening plus Karaoke. My goodness those demo's could sing. I got home around 9pm and couldn't believe what an amazing day I had had, and the fun was only just beginning!!


Onstage Live:

Ok so this is about to get very photo heavy...

All I'm going to say about this is... YOU... MUST... GO... TO.... ONE!!!

If you are a demo and have never been to an onstage event, you need to make it your goal this year to attend one. The information, friendships, resources and of course the freebies, make this an experience every Stampin' Up! Demonstrator should have. I learn so much one these 1 day or 3 day events that it totally makes it worth wild. I have made friends with some of the biggest demo's around, i have gained so much information and knowledge that it makes the cost Priceless!!

And if you aren't a demo yet, why not? Whether you would love a permanent discount off everything you purchase, or would like to earn an income to help pay some bills. I joined for the friendship and the like minded people, who are as crazy about craft as I am. The fact that I can go to these events is really the icing on the cake!!

So If you have every even, for one moment thought about becoming a demo, please, please, please, contact me and let us talk about it. I can answer any questions and support you the whole way. My crazy Closet Crafters would love to welcome you to our family!! and talking about my team, here is a few photo's of some of my girls who went off to attend the Onstage Local event in Brisbane:

Phew.... what a week. Thank you so much for dropping by and for continuing to support my business. You guys mean the world to me. I have come home with lots of ideas, so look out 2019, I'm coming for you!!

Happy Crafting,

Pretty in Pink - Epic Celebrations

I'm so sad that I never got to share a card that I CASED from Karen Hallam using the awesome Epic Celebration stamp set from Sale-a-Bration.

Everyone mentions to me, how perfect this stamp set is for all the teenage boys in your life, but I happened to have a tom boy in my life and this set is perfect for her too.

Karen's card was gorgeous and when I cam across it, I knew I had to case it. But like I said I wanted to make it for my daughter and so I changed up the colours to give it a more feminine feel to it and I really do love it. I obviously had to make it in Karen' s boys colours too, as after all she did use my favorite colour combination!!

Such a quick and simple card, but perfect for everyone!!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo
