Stamp and Stack July Projects

Hi Everyone,

Here's a super quick post to show you the 2 cards we made on Friday night at my July Stamp and Stack.

We made 5 of each of these cards and as it was only a small class, we actually finished on time! That's a bit of a record for my classes, we often tend to chatter and laugh a little too much.

Thank you to those who attended - you know who you are! 
  

If you were unable to attend, I'd be happy to show you and a couple of friends how we did these or any other cards. Just leave me a comment or send an email.

ESAD Christmas in July Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the ESAD Christmas in July Blog Hop!! If you come directly to my blog, you can continue the hop by following the link later in this post... Otherwise, if you're already hopping, you will have come from Genelle Little's blog so thank you for hopping along to me.


For those that don't know - ESAD stands for Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators and it is an online group just for Australian and New Zealand demonstrators for Stampin’ Up!


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 its 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.


Ok, onto my project, I've made a stationery set complete with a box, card, notecards, and even stamp and a pen! Now I've started by using the "I wish" Simply Scrappin' Kit and (this is what happens when you tidy and sort things out), I cannot find the "I wish" embellishments (I know there's some somewhere but I've searched for 2 days and had no luck in finding them! grrr not happy!!) Thankfully my project turned out ok with the use of the Christmas Classics Stamp Set - phewwww!

The Box

Opened...

The cards

A couple of gift tags

The notecards

Materials Used:
Christmas Classics Stamp Set
"I wish" Simply Scrappin' Kit
Ink / Stampin' Write Markers: Chocolate Chip, Real Red &Old Olive
Dimensionals
Eyelet Border Punch
Hemp Twine
Tombow adhesive - OMG this stuff is amazing!! I've been having a ball with it this week and have more things to show you another day!
Snail Adhesive
Blender Pen

So, now you've seen what I made... If you would like to have a go, here's the link to the splitcoast stampers tutorial. And my plan is to make more cards, tags and notecards ready for Christmas this year to fill the box and when the time comes to wrap presents I will be set with loads of everything needed.


Please continue the blog hop by having a look at Angela Purdie's blog next and she will have the link onto the next blog so you'll do a loop and arrive back here at the end.

Stamp 'n' Stack Results

Hi Everyone! Merry Christmas!!! But pheww, as much as I love Christmas, I sure was glad to sit back and relax today! Time has been flying past in the lead up to Christmas so I was very grateful to hardly do a thing all day today.... lol - I even managed to have a sleep-in as the girls were up late last nite at my family xmas dinner and that was after a big lunch at our house for my hubby's family,so they were extremely tired girls today but thankfully only slightly grumpy.



In my quiet day, I realised today that I haven't posted either of the projects from the Stamp 'n' Stack in November or the recent December SAS.... Ooops! :P So here's 2 quick pics of the 2 projects:

Stamp 'n' Stack November
We used the 'Spotlight on Christmas' Stamp Set, scallop cirle punch, scallop square punch (it was my brand new toy!), 2 circle punches, 1 square punch, crimper, dimensionals. And I must say a big thank you to my sideline demonstrator Andrea as I cased her Christmas card layouts and borrowed her stamp set! So a BIG BIG Thank you!

Stamp 'n' December

We used the 'I wish' scrapbooking kit and not a single stamp was used! The album was designed by Andrea Walford, an extremely talented Canadian Stampin' Up Demonstrator. This was my first time teaching something other than a card or a box, so I thank my ladies for being so patient with me on the day. The album on the left was my original and the one on the right is what I made on the day.

If you like this album, I'm going to do another class but with a Mother's Day theme around March-April next year, so don't forget to check back to see when the class is scheduled. I received a new diary from my MIL so will work out my Class Calender soon and post all the details!!

The results of my Stampin' Up! Training Day

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to show you a couple of pics of a photo album made from cardstock and the 'I wish' scrapbook kit from Stampin' Up. I learnt how to make this at my training day on Sunday and if you are interested, I'm thinking about arranging a class for this too - it would make a great Chrissy gift. Anyway, here are the pics and don't forget to let me know what you think...
