Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #19 - Best of Butterflies

Melon Mambo Card #2

Dear Stampin' friends,

Well I've been a bit slack with my Color Coach journey of late....so here's a card!

It uses the sketch from Mojo Monday as inspiration.

Hope you like my card. 

Yes...I know there is no watermark but I have just got a new computer and was yet to sort my new downloads out so this one is "un-marked". :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Dynamic Duos #72 - Fab Friday Challenge - Handbag Card

Dear Stampin' friends,

At Dynamic Duos this week, our colours are Primrose Petals and Blushing Bride. I was asked to do a card for a colleague at work who absolutely loves clothes, handbags, shoes....you get the picture! She was recently featured in Women's Day for her extensive wardrobe - she's quite the fashionista.

Anyway, I hadn't made a "handbag card" for a while and when I saw the sketch at Fab Friday Challenge, I knew it would be perfect as the basis for my card. :) I liked how Cindy Beach used the sentiment from Label Love on one of her 4 panels so I copied that idea on my card.

I apologise for the photo....I find it really difficult to photograph Very Vanilla without the pinks looking fluoro so when I de-saturated the photo, the vanilla looks a bit 'grey'. **sigh**

Stampin' Up! Australia - Catalogues! Catalogues!

Dear Stampin' friends,

Would you like the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue beautifully gift wrapped and and sent to your doorstep? I recently sent out a catalogue to a customer and I thought how cute it would be if I gift wrapped it and decorated it the "Stampin' Up!" way! :)

Naturally I took some photos before it went in the post!     

So if you would like one of these gorgeous "brown-paper-packages-wrapped-up-with-string", drop me an email with your name and address and I'll get it sent out to you for FREE! ....I'll throw in a Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalogue too!

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Australia - Dynamic Duos #71 - Burlap!!

Dear Stampin friends

Today's theme from Dynamic Duos is Crumb Cake + Basic Black with an option of wet embossing.  My sketch is from this week's Mojo Monday challenge.

Now as you can see I didn't use wet embossing but I DID try.....I had these cute little black embossed butterflies from Papillon Potpourri and I was going to put three across my horizontal panel but they just didn't 'work' so I used a scrap piece of crumb cake that had already been punched as a flower and I distressed it and split it to give that faux suede effect. That seemed to work better than my butterflies. Sorry butterflies!! :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Dynamic Duos - Stampin' Up! World Treasures

Dear Stampin' friends,

My Dynamic Duos card this week uses the bold colours of Old Olive and Pacific Point. I chose the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch as the inspiration for this card.

I'm also going to send this card to Shelli Gardner with a 'get well' message. She had a very serious accident as described here by her husband Sterling. I know that I am not alone in wishing Shelli a speedy recovery, and the entire Stampin' Up! community is so relieved that she is ok.

Here's the card....

This was made using the Tag a Bag Accessories kit, some inkpad-to-paper technique and some clear block stamping. The sentiment is from the Label Love stamp set and punched using the Artisan Label punch.

Stampin' Up! Australia - Best of Shelli - Dynamic Duos #68

Perfect Plum Card #1 

 

Dear Stampin' friends,

Need a card for a 40th birthday!? Well I think the Typeset Alphabet Dies in Silver Glimmer Paper does the trick for the number '40'! It is celebratory indeed!!

This week's colour challenge at Dynamic Duos is to pair Perfect Plum with your choice of colour. I chose Early Espresso as this is a color coach suggestion and I thought I would include it in my Stampin’ Up! Color Coach Challenge.

I used the new 'Best of Shelli' stamp set and cut it using the Labels Collection Framelit. The sketch is based on this week's Mojo Mondays Sketch #308
