Time for another Blog Hop from my lovely team of talented demonstrators!
There are now over 90 demonstrators in the Art with Heart team, spread throughout Australia. Not everyone can make the blog hop, but I do have some of the other blogs listed in my left hand sidebar. We are always looking for new stampers to join our fun and friendly team, so if you would like to enquire about joining the Art with Heart team, e-mail me for more details. We have a fantastic very active and fun team on-line forum, a strong focus on scrapbooking as well as cardmaking and stamping, an optional business building club, catch-ups, lots of opportunity to swap and share cards and Stampin' up! products, monthly challenges not to mention lots of friendly and supportive fellow demonstrators. We can even put you in contact with other demonstrators in the team, so you can hear for yourself how much they get from being a demonstrator in the Art with Heart team.
This month's blog hop features some of the yummy products from the Autumn Winter mini catalogue which go on sale this week! All you need to do is follow the link at the end of the post, to go onto the next person's blog, until you are back to here. If you leave a comment on each person's blog within the next 72 hours, you can also be in the draw to win some blog candy! Just leave a comment on each persons blog within 72 hours and then email Nikki Sadler to have your name entered in the draw.
You would have come to my blog from the lovely Nikki Sadlers blog. Nikki joined our team in May last year and already has a fabulous little team. She is based in Aspendale gardens and does classes and workshops and has regular team get togethers, so if you want a fun and talented mentor in Stampin' Up!, or want to go along to some great classes, give Nikki a call.
I have chosen to showcase some of the fabulous vintage sets in the new catalogue (I bet that didn't surprise you!). This set called Vintage Vogue, is really versatile and looks fabulous with the new In-Colours Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede. The Very Vintage wheel is also VERY lovely.
In this card I have used the following Stampin' Up! products:
- Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Very Vintage, Tiny Tags, Sanded background
- Stampin' Up! Punches: Jewellry Tag
- Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede, Kraft, Very Vanilla
- Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede
- Accessories: Kraft Taffeta ribbon, Hemp twine, paper piercer
Here's another look using the same set, but this time I added the lovely new Top Note die, a Build a Brad and used Stem Sayings for the stem (I love this set from the main catalogue - I've only recently purchased it but have already used it heaps for many different typed of flowers).
Here's a run down of the Stampin' Up! products I have used on this card:
- Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Stem Sayings
- Cardstock: Kraft, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede
- Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede
- Accessories: Build a Brad, 1/2"Circle Punch, Big Shot, Top Note Die.
It's now time to pop on over to the blog of the lovely and talented Ros Davidson. Ros makes some fabulous creations and does amazing things with Stampin' Up! punches. She runs classes in Skye and is always ready to welcome new ladies into her growing team as well, so enjoy your time on Ros's blog and don't forget to leave comments to be in on the running for the blog candy (Demonstrators and overseas stampers are welcome to leave comments but unfortunately can't win the candy). Thanks for participating in the blog hop. See you back here in a few days with some more creations and excitement!
