Hello!

  Hi all, here are some more cards I have been creating. The first two I have entered into a competition.

They get to be displayed at the Melbourne papercraft expo.

 

 These next four cards are vintage as I use my new favorite things from Crafty Secrets .... The images are just so gorgeous, you can't make a mistake in creating a lovely card :)

Hope you are all great and had a lovely Valantines Day this week. I did make some cards but didn't get to posting them :) I will eventually. See you!

New Catalogue...my favorite!!!

Just click and take a look! I'm ready for your order!!!! samanthajo_ireland@hotmail.com

I have been having fun with tags and using distress inks...ssshhh, it's not Stampin' Up! It is so fun and easy even Sarah had a turn, aren't her tags cute?

 Here are two cards on which I placed tags, don't they look great stamped??

And this box was a white hard cardboard bow with drawers that I got from Riot and I distressed it with ink, not expecting it to turn out looking rusty but I like it! And I decorated it accordingly. :)

I have been very busy doing online uni study and the kids just got back to school so I hope to get a few afternoons soon to make some cards for Valentine's Day!

Hi Again :)

It has been a while since I made cards. I have been very busy with school holidays and doing a bit of university study part time.

But my Mum has been visiting and we love making cards together :)

 I have used a few different things this time around and think I'm falling for vintage. But I still need my Stampin Up! The 'Just Because' sentiment stamp is from 'Vintage Verses' and is a freebie from the Sale-a-bration which starts TOMORROW!
 Take a look at these cards I have made.

These Valenines Day cards are gatefold cards which are so easy to make, and are still the regular C6 size. If you want to know about anything I have used, just drop me an email.I 'll be posting about Sale-a -bration tomorrow for sure :)

Where have I been?

 

Ok, I know I've been slack with my blog, but I've been busy, busy & busy. Well maybe some of that busy was actually a holiday with my Mum in the remote NT town of Nhulunbuy. It was so lovely.
I did get to make some cards with my Mum, she loves decoupage cards, and I had some fun with them too! I really love Ranger liquid pearls, you just squeeze them on and they dry to look like pearls!

 

                         

 

I hope every one is all good out there and keep your eyes open for something new!

Don't hurt your neck!

So here are some cards I've made, using great colours and products from the new catalogue...... but you have to turn your head to have a look because three of them just won't sit up straight!!!!!!

 

And I don't have all day trying to fix it, even though I've been trying for ages!!! Sorry about that!!!

 

This one works fine though! I like being able to personalize the card with the Memorable Moments stamp set.

New, New and New!!!

New Colours!

The great thing about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is I get to get products before the catalogue comes out....

and even though I can't show you the catalogue online yet, I can show you examples!

 

So this week I'm using all the new 2012-2014 'In Colours' that will be available from the next catalogue!

And this card is inspired from the new catalogue too! 

Let me know if you want a copy of the catalogue

and you can get your wish list ready for Septembers the 1st to order.

And there is only one week left of the retired list!!! Don't miss out on some bargains!

 

That's not a card!

I know I said card class, but this is what we are making on Thursday, a cute gift box and it's so easy!

Please let me know if you are coming to make and take this sweet box, but if you want to come along just to look at the new catalogue or pick up a free retired idea book, pop in any time between

 10am and 12. The class will start just after 10am.

Hope you can come by :)

Card Class this week, are you free?????

This Thursday the 23rd at my place!

Come over for a nibble and a chat, get some free stuff and look at whats new!

10am, RSVP by Wednesday night

.........and we'll make ......something....!

Simply does it!

I just needed something easy today, so Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White are my colours. This card took 5 minutes and I think it looks nice, how about you? I'm loving the postage stamp punch, it will be available in the new catalogue for $27.95 as will the stamp set I used today, Pretty Postage for only $16.95. I'm having fun with Pumpkin Pie, and am proud of myself for making a card a day!!! Have you got time for your craft?

Pumpkin Pie and ....

Not food, Stampin' Up! colours! Today I used Melon Mambo with Whisper White and a touch of Pear Pizzazz. I made a large square card which pretty much takes the whole A4 so thats why I don't make them very much! I have to start thinking of the card for my FREE class on the 23rd.
What colour do you like?

Card maker's block!

I haven't made a card since the kids went back to school, and  everytime I sat down to do it, I couldn't get inspired :(

I don't know what's up...my brain is just mush!!

So today I thought I'd pick a colour and work with that during the week, and it worked!

I picked Pumpkin Pie and stuck up my colour & the colour coach card on my fab new inspiration board.

I picked the SU suggestion for today, Pumkin Pie, Early Expresso and Daffodil Delight. What do you think?

Still not sure about it, sometimes I just don't know what look it is I'm going for!!!!! But I'll try a new colour combo tomorrow!
