Artisan Design Team 2021 Annoucement - It's ME!!!

 OH MY GOODNESS!!! To say I'm excited, thrilled, amazed and extremely terrified, will pretty much sum up just a few of the thoughts going through my head at the moment.

When South Pacific DDM Clare Langford, rang to give me the good news I honestly thought she had called the wrong person by mistake. I was so surprised, I just couldn't take it all in.

I had kept this awesome secret from all of my friends, team mates and fellow demo sisters and when it was finally announced today, the out pouring of love and support from all of my crafty peeps was completely unreal. Gee I love this company and the loyal family it has created.

So, for those of you who don't know who or what the Artisan Team is or are, we are a group of 21 demonstrators from around the world who create projects, tips and samples on behalf of Stampin' Up! Each quarter we will be provided with product to create fantastic projects to inspire you guys. We will also share some tips and tricks and hopefully a few new techniques as well along the way. I know I am always wowed by the Artisan's so I hope I can do the same.

And if the privilege of being chosen isn't enough, we also received the most amazing gift in a beautifully wrapped box. And yes, that is a Tiffany & Co box that you can see!!

I really am grateful to have been picked for this amazing position and I feel humbled to be along side such an awesome group of talented demos. I have total craft crush on all of them!

So here's to 2021 and the most exciting journey every!!

Happy Crafting,

Stamping Sisters Tutorial Bundle - September Blog Hop: Rainbows

Gosh, it's certainly been a long time between cards on the blog recently. Crafters block can really happen to any of us and unfortunately it was my time to feel uninspired. And I think that's why I'm so glad I was made to create for this months Stamping Sisters tutorial bundle. Our theme for the month is Rainbows and if anything can get you out of your crafting slump, it's a rainbow of cardstock, inks and embellishments. It's literally food for your crafting soul. Rainbows make everything seem better!!

So, let me share my tutorial inspired blog hop card with you all. I couldn't pass up trying out the new skinny card trend and a rainbow of hearts just seemed to be the perfect pairing.

My tutorial card is similar and I of course will tell you exactly how to create a Skinny card, using Australian sized cardstock. I can totally see why so many people have jumped on the Skinny Card bandwagon as I really loved making these too.

Stamping Sisters Tutorial - August Blog Hop

Happy 1st of the month guys and welcome to another fun blog hop with the Stamping Sisters tutorial group. This month we are show casing cards along the theme of Thinking of you and Friendship, as this weekend just happens to be National Sisters day and I like to think of all my crafty friends as my stamping sisters!!

So if you've come straight here, Welcome and if you arrived from the amazing Di Barnes then G'day it's nice to have you!

My card this month is actually teaching a technique that I have never seen before and fell upon it by accident, which shows you are never too old to learn something new. This technique will show you how to dry emboss with your stencils. Yep, you heard me right. I have a whole new way to use those stencils that you have lurking in the back of your craft room.

On my blog hop card that I'm sharing today, shows this technique paired with a shaker card. As soon as I saw these cute little coffee beans in the Perks stamp set, I knew they would be perfect, plus a little bit of fussy cutting never hurt anyone!

So I can hear you all saying " Chlo we need to know how to do that awesome technique. How do we get our hands on your amazing tutorial bundle?" Well I have three fantastic options:

Option 1 - It's yours for FREE. Yep that's right. If you place a qualifying order of $60* or more through my online store, that months bundle will be sent to you, absolutely free. It's my way of saying Thank You and I really appreciate your on going support. LET'S GO SHOPPING!

So Glad - Press On

Something a little fun today, playing with a new up coming set from our Holiday Catalogue. This stamp set is called Press On and has these cute little row of coffee cups which I just couldn't wait to stamp and colour in.

My colours look a little muted in this photo, thanks to the dark and wintry days. It's a lot more vibrant in real life and this colour combo together is so beautiful.

I used my versamark inkpad to stamp the little coffee beans in the background, as I felt it needed something subtle.

I've suddenly thought, how cool will this stamp set be along side the Nothing Better Then Bundle!! That's certainly got me thinking...

As always you can purchase any of these items from my online store and the Holiday catalogue items will be available from 4th Aug.

Happy Crafting,

Chlo

A Happy Accident - Boho Indigo Medley

This card was a very happy accident and just proves that sometimes what's in your head isn't always the best design.

I had originally thought to put the elements into a vanilla background but I didn't like it. I was also using the other side of this designer series paper but again I didn't like it. So as I pulled all the loose pieces off of the card they flipped over and fell onto the night of navy card base and I thought, hmmmm I like that and so this was how this card came about.

I would call this card a simple stamping card and perfect for the beginner stamper. The colours are so gorgeous together and I think that's why this bold design on the pattern paper works so well.

Of course I couldn't pass up using those gorgeous little palm/leaf dies again. I just love those dies, they are the perfect finishing touch to the gorgeous sentiment piece.

I hope you find some craft time this weekend and don't forget to share your creations with me!

Happy Crafting,

Thank You - Boho Indigo

I would never have realised how perfectly Night of Navy pairs with our new 2020/22 Incolor Bumblebee. While playing around with the Boho Indigo medley I felt I needed to an an extra colour to my card and after playing with a few different colours I came across Bumblebee and it was instant perfection, as you can see on today's card.

It almost has a soft gold colour about it and I'm thinking it might be great as a Christmas colour this year. I guess we'll just have to wait and see about that!

I wanted to use the gorgeous coordinating stamp set from this range and I just love this particular little vase. The little paper, beaded flowers are also in the medley and are just the perfect finishing touch.

Oh and do you want to know a secret? The corrugated embossing folder that I've used, retired last year and this is the first time I've used in. It was still in it's packaging in fact!! My hubby would use that as evidence that I have too much stuff, where I see it that I don't have enough time to use my things... perspective I guess!
