Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team January Blog Hop

Welcome to the first Art With Heart Stampin' Up! Team Blog Hop for 2018. My fabulous team love to share their creativity. Tonight the team are sharing creative projects using product from the occasions catalogue. The Occasions Catalogue is current now until 31st May. Be sure to request your copy of the catalogue today (along with the Sale-a-bration brochure). Sale-a-bration is also a great time to join our fabulous team. Ask any of the girls on the hop!

I am showcasing the lovely Sweet Soiree embellishment kit. There are so many fabulous bits and pieces in this kit, that you can use to make lots and lots of projects. Everything on this card is from the embellishment kit except the cardstock, greeting stamp and silver foil cardstock under the ribbon.

The die cuts and many of the embellishments have silver foiled touches to them for extra wow factor. I also LOVE the scalloped velvet Marina Mist ribbon in the kit.

The greeting is from the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue.

Here's a picture of all the bits and pieces you get in the Embellishment Kit which is just $19.95 in Australia (Item 145578). It's available in my online store, or contact me to place an order by phone or email.

 

Now it's time to move onto the next blog, which is the lovely Rebecca Jacavou.

Stampin' Up! Flying Home Stamp Set with Stampin' Blends

Today's shares feature some coloured images from the new Flying Home stamp set in the Stampin' Up! 2018 Occasions Catalogue. This is a super cute set of line drawn images which are just perfect for colouring.

I stamped my images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, onto Thick Whisper White cardstock as I planned to colour with Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. I used Light Old Olive, Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Light Pink Pirouette, Light and Dark Pool Party and Light Calypso Coral.

I did two different designs, with the coloured images cut out either with the circle or square Stitched Shape Framelits. 

The diecut I have used is from the Petals and More Thinlit Dies.  I tried it in Soft Sky and Crumb Cake, but I think I like the Soft Sky versions best.

I did a bit of a watercolour wash in Soft Sky around the coloured image to soften some of the white space.

I wanted the coloured images to be the focus of these cards, so I just went for a really small simple greeting from the At Home With You stamp set. I love the font in the greetings in this set.

Guest Blogger: Rachel Woollard and Brusho

Today we have the second of my guest bloggers for the week, Rachel Woollard (Handstamped by Rachel). Rachel is going to show you some fabulous creations using Brusho, which was a new product introduced in the Stampin' Up! 2018 Occasions Catalogue.

I met Rachel at a craft show in my very first year as a demonstrator. She soon became a regular customer, and soon after a demonstrator on my team. Rachel would have been with me 10 years in June this year. We love having Rachel in the team and she has become a good friend. We often get together and stamp and her little one (now her big one) used to sleep on my couch while we stamped! Rachel has built a great little team of her own and is now one of my Silver Elite Demonstrators. As well as being a great leader, she is very creative and runs regular Stampin' Up! classes in Ringwood East. Here's what she has coming up over the following months:

Sat 3rd Feb 1-4pm

Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Class

$18.

 

Thurs 8th Feb 12.30-3pm

Fancy Cards Cards

$18, 3 cards

 

Sat 10th Feb 1-4pm

Card Class

$18, 4 cards

 

Email [email protected] for questions or to reserve your place.

 

Rachel has been working hard on getting to know the Brusho products which we introduced into the Occasions Catalogue. I love all the fabulous effects she has achieved on these cards.

 

 

You can see close ups of all of these cards with more detailed descriptions on this blog post over on Rachel's blog. Be sure to ask her about her upcoming classes while you are there!

 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a great day. I'll be back soon with some more creations.

February Stampin' Up! Classes in Lilydale, Melbourne

Hey there. Just a quick note about an upcoming project class I have coming up in Lilydale, outer East Melbourne.

Make up this fabulous project kit which contains a card storage box, 12 monthly dividers with room to record birthdays, and 16 cards to pop into the box (4 each of 4 designs). Everything supplied and I'll be on hand (with the coordinating stamp set and ink pad colours) to help you.

Great opportunity for some Friday night time out, to meet some new friends and to be creative.

 

Date: Friday Feb 16th 7.30 - 9.30ish

Cost: Just the cost of the project kit which is $45 - so less than $3 a card for an awesome quality handmade card. Teens (over 12) welcome if accompanied by an adult to help them.

Bonus: Additional kits can be stamped on the night if you want (one for you, one for a gift). Buy two kits and get a free stamp set, or card kit or paper pack (11 different things to choose from).

Booking cut off: Message / text (0412120498) or email me to book your place. Payment for kits must be made by February 5th to enable yours to be ordered in time for the class. I accept credit card or direct deposit.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Stampin' Up! All Inclusive Lots of Happy Cardmaking Kit

All inclusive kits are one of the first things I always seem to be attracted to in new catalogues, and the lots of Happy Kit in the Stampin' Up! 2018 Occasions Catalogue is no exception. I think I love the kits because I can grab them and sit at the kitchen table, or even the lounge coffee table and have everything I need in the cute little box, rather than sitting away from the family while I craft. I also love the simplicity and the variety in the kits.

This kit contains everything you need to make 20 cards (envelopes included too) with 4 each of 5 designs. There is a full colour leaflet showing how each card is put together. It even includes the pencils for the colouring. You can also buy refills for the kits too.

You can also play around a little and add some additional colours, like I have with the larger card here (because it looked like olives to me).

I cant wait to get to work completing the other sets of cards in this kit!

If you want to look at this kit, or any of the other self-inclusive kits we sell, you can find them HERE in my online store.
