Stampin Up Cheerful Daisies Birthday Card with Wild Wheat.

Hello friends. Today I have a handmade birthday card for you, featuring Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies bundle, Fresh as a Daisy DSP, and one of the new 2023 InColors. Wild Wheat. I really love how it turned out. The textured daisy dies and the foliage really add some dimension to my card.

Stampin Up Cheerful Daisies

I took my colour inspiration from the colours in this piece of DSP which are Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat. I really love the rich mustard yellow of Wild Wheat and I think the brightness of the white daisies is a good contrast. I used a sponge dauber to add a little bit of Wild Wheat colour to the centre daisies. I popped some of the daisies and the sentiment label up with Dimensional foam dots.

This sentiment is included in the Cheerful daisies bundle, and the label die in the die set, so they combined for the perfect greeting for my birthday card. The scalloped border at the top of my card is from the Scalloped Contours Dies. I added a thin strip of Wild Wheat cardstock underneath the sentiment label to balance the colours on the card.

Good morning friends. I hope you are well. The sun is shining here this morning which always makes me happy. Yesterday after a medical appointment I headed to my favourite nursery and bought a few punnets of seedlings that will cope with the late winter / early Spring weather here in Melbourne, so I'm hoping the sunshine lasts until mid afternoon so I can get out there and plant them.

Stampin' Up! Video Cardmaking Class: 4 Ways with Wanted to Say Dies and Delightfully Eclectic DSP

Stampin Up video tutorial cardmaking class wanted to say dies.

Today I have a Stampin' Up! video tutorial for you, featuring four cards using the Stampin' Up! Wanted to Say dies and the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper. These cards were a complimentary kit that I put together for customers who purchased from me in June (subscribe to hear about offers like this). Even if you don't have the kit, you may find inspiration from these cards as I have supplied cutting and scoring information and the video shows you how to put the cards together. There is no stamping on these cards, as all of the sentiments come from the die set, which is a new stand alone die set from the 2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

First, let's have a look at the two main products we are using which are the Wanted to Say Dies and Delightfully Eclectic DSP.

And here's a look at the four cards I included materials for in the complimentary kits that I mailed to my June Stampin' Up! purchasing customers in Australia. The one on the right is a faux step fun fold card.

Stampin' Up! Sale Tomorrow + Photos from our "35for35" Team Event with Sara Douglass

Hello friends. My apologies you haven't heard from me in a while. As I mentioned in a post some weeks back, my Stampin' Up! team event was chosen as one of the official 35 global events to celebrate Stampin' Up!'s 35th Anniversary this year. This meant that we were allocated a member of the Corporate Team to attend our event and we got none other than our amazing CEO, Sara Douglass. She travelled over 20 hours each way to attend our event in Melbourne, and we are so grateful for her warmth, sense of fun and her amazing leadership. I'm going to share a few photos of our event below.

First I wanted to let you know that Stampin' Up! just announced a 15% off sale on all the stamp sets in the 2023 Annual Catalogue (that's a LOT of stamps) but only for one day - Wednesday 19th July (that's tomorrow). No code is needed. Just order directly with me either via my Online Stampin' Up! Store (don't forget to add this months host code below) or directly via email ([email protected]) or phone (0412 120 498) between 12.01am and 11.59am AET (that's Melbourne / Sydney time) tomorrow 19th July and the discount will automatically be applied.

All About our Stampin' Up! 35 for 35 Event

I combined planning our event with a dear leader friend from another team completely - Michelle Grech. Michelle was so awesome to work with and we loved that both or our teams got to benefit. Michelle had some skills that I didn't have, and visa versa, so we complemented each other beautifully. Of course we had LOTS of help from our team members especially Rachel Woollard and Sue Hemming, and all the people who did demonstrations, make and takes and displays (I will share these in coming posts). Here we all are in our beautiful aprons made by Sue.

Aprons

We all arrived in Melbourne CBD on Friday ahead of our event and the team members who had been most involved in the organising or had done a make and take or planned a demonstration had dinner with Sara.

Dinner

The theme for the day was play, and play we did! There were make and takes, demonstrations, displays, photo opportunities, LOTS of bright colour, mingling, hugs, prize patrol and just so much joy in that room. I will share more on the displays and demos in coming days, but here are some 'action' shots.

Our "Give Back" Project for Big Group Hug

As Stampin' Up! demonstrators, we are always looking for ways to give back to others. We decided to combine a donation and fundraising drive for a family and children's charity Big Group Hug with our day. This picture is just a small portion of donations we have collected from demonstrators on the day. All up we have collected 2 SUV loads of warm kids clothing, stationery, craft kits, underwear, pyjamas, baby items and toiletries from both Stampin' up! and individual demonstrators which we will be delivering to the charity tomorrow.

We have almost reached our $1000 fundraising goal as well, just over $100 left to go until the end of August. So if you are in a position to donate a few dollars, our online donations page is available until the end of July.

BGH

It really was an amazing weekend that filled my heart with all the good things that gathering with these lovely ladies brings - joy! I can't wait to gather again with them in future. Maybe you might like to join us too? You can read all about joining my team HERE.

Have a fabulous week and I will be back soon as I have lots of creative things to share and the Christmas crafting season will soon be upon us too.

Warm hugs,

Claire
