Team Recognition - Modern Heart

A new month is always so much fun for me. It's the time when I get to look through the past months numbers and charts and recognize some of my team members who have worked super hard and have hit a few milestones in their Stampin' Up! business.

I love spoiling my team, and today's card is no exception. This card was made a a few months ago, but I didn't want to share it until I knew the recipient had received it and then... well I forgot all about it.

This team mate had hit a title promotion and along with this card, I sent her a gift of Bronze (Or in my case Copper) coloured products to recognize her promotion to Bronze Elite. Think Copper embossing powder, Copper foil cardstock and Copper trim.  Fun have!

It's always surprising how cards evolve sometimes. This was actually a mistake card to start of with believe it or not and was destined for the bin. But after coming back to it again a few hours later I had an idea and saved it.

Have to say I'm really happy with the end result. Plus I have loved the Modern Heart stamp set, which was designed by  Million Dollar Achiever Steffi Helmschrott, since I first saw it in the catalogue and it's been paitently waiting for me to have a play with it.

Are you wondering how I made the background? Well wonder no more. It's a technique that I call Watercolour Smooshing and it's so simple. You added a few drops of ink to a piece of clear window sheet. Add some water  and then place it, ink/water down onto your watercolour paper and smoosh all the ink around. Voila!

Well, I hope you've enjoyed today's card. Please come back and visit my little piece of craft heaven again and don't forget, all the products I've used today can be purchased from my online store.

Happy Crafting,

You're My Person - Modern Heart

So back in the day, I was a big Grey's Anatomy fan and I actually have a bracelet from one of my beautiful friends that says 'You're My Person'. So when I saw the exact same sentiment in the Modern Heart stamp set, I knew I NEEDED it.

This card is so much fun and super duper easy to make too. The colours were inspired by a t-shirt my daughter had on over the weekend. It was so sunny and bright and had a really cool retro vibe. But I think you could really use any colour comb. Different shades of blues or pinks would be lovely too.

So today when you are out on your travels, keeps your eye's peeled and see what can inspire your next card, today!!

 I am very pleased to be hosting another Paper Share and this time I will be featuring all the beautiful papers from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue. 

My Paper Share is a very affordable way to get your hands on a generous sample of every DSP in the new catalogue without having to break the bank. You’ll have the perfect opportunity to see which papers you love without having to purchase every paper pack in the catalogue ($189.00 value) unless you want it all like I do!!
 

2019 Holiday Catalogue Designer Series
Paper Share
 $ 45.00 (shipping available on request)

 

I have decided this year, to give you more bang for your buck (to cut the 12x 12 paper to 6x 12 rather then 6x6). This way you will be able to make three cards fronts from each piece, rather than just one front and the remainder becoming card waste. The 6x6 paper's will still be delivered to you in 6x6 size.

In total, you will receive 56 beautiful sheets of designer/specialty paper 

• • Each paper collection is placed in individual clear bag and clearly labeled with paper collection details (ie: item name, item #, price and coordinating colors).

***Payment deadline is midnight AEST, 1st Oct 2019***

It takes a Great Guy - A Good Man

With Father's Day just around the corner, I thought I would make another card with the stamp set called A Good Guy. All week I have been sharing cards with this set, because I know how hard man's cards can be, but this stamp set has really inspired me, which is so not the norm, I thought I would run with it.

This card is another quick and simple, where yet again the Blends are the stand out feature. I often get asked how tricky are they to use and I think with this stamp set in particular, they really are easy. In fact, to prove how easy they are I have done a video tutorial for this card, so you can see for yourself, in real time, how easy they are to use.

Oh and as always, here are the card measurements for this particular card:

Base: 11 1/2" x 4"
Basic Gray: 5 1/2" x 3 3/4"
Basic Gray: 5 3/8" x 3 5/8"
Old Olive: 1 1/2" x 5 3/8"
Black banner: 3/4" x 3 5/8"
Pumpkin pie 1/8" x 3 5/8"

And here's the video tutorial for you all too. Enjoy x


Don't forget you can purchase anything you've seen today, over at my online store and have it shipped to you, anywhere in Australia.

Happy Crafting,
