Can you believe there’s just a few short weeks left of Sale a Bration?? How did two months pass so quickly??

I love the Delicate Dahlias stamp set which is a Level 2 set ($180 spend). Not only does it a have beautiful realistic images that can be stamped with coloured ink, but it has a set of line art images that can be coloured.

I did a really quick Instagram Reel showing a sped up partial colouring of this image. Check it out if you like 🙂

For the flowers I’ve used the Calypso Coral Blends Duo and also the Pale Papaya Duo, and for the leaves I’ve used Mossy Meadow and can you believe Granny Apple Green!

The finished card is not a Tall & Skinny card, but a Tall & Wide card lol. I just made it to fit the image actually!

Basic Thick White card base is 18cm x 18cm, so the finished size is 9cm x 18cm. Basic White card is used for the flowers and leaves, and then just a scrap of Calypso Coral for the sentiment.

Before I go… Mark your diaries, the next Class by Mail is being released on the 15th September 🙂

This week in my Live Stream I cased the Catalogue. There’s a small sample on page 65 of the Mini Catalogue, you may not have even noticed it. But I did and it actually made me buy the bundle it was showing. There’s usually one card in the catalogue that I like to have a crack at.

This card is time consuming because of the steps involved, but it is NOT a hard card to make.

Don’t look too closely at my mitred corners. Had I been making this card in my own time, I would have spent a little more time on getting them to line up properly. That one in the top left hand corner is really BAD!!

I don’t think there’s really a quick run down on this card, but I can provide the card sizes I used.

• Coastal Cabana 10.5cm x 26cm – scored and folded at 13cm
• Rich Razzleberry – 10cm x 3.5cm
• Highland Heather – 10cm x 2.5cm, plus extra for stamping 3 snowflakes
• Bermuda Bay – 10cm x 2.5cm
• Pool Party – 10cm x 2cm, plus extra for stamping 3 snowflakes
• Basic White – 7cm x 2.5cm
• Silver Foil – .5cm strips 9.5cm and 11cm long, plus extra for 5 snowflakes

Product List

This was a really enjoyable card to make. I hope you also find a few more intricate cards to create, whether it be from your own imagination or casing cards like I did.

Here’s a quick update on my trip tracker – getting there! Details on my 20% Extra Promotion can be found HERE

And, just a few days left to sign up for my Painted Christmas Class by Mail

Mark your diaries!! Painted Christmas Class by Mail is coming soon – the 1st September actually 🙂

Here’s a sneak peek!

I also just want to remind you of my current promotion which is an EXTRA 20% on your orders!! There is no minimum spend, but obviously you want it enough to be able to claim something with the extra 20%. You will need to email me with your orders so I can add your bonus.

There is a catch – I will only have a certain amount of orders that can claim the bonus, so I’ll end the promotion when all orders are claimed, or on the 30th September, whichever comes first.

Just a note – if your order is over $250, then you’ll receive the 20% from me PLUS the 10% host rewards from Stampin’ Up! – That’s massive!

Okay, that’s it from me!

Hi Everyone! Friday night was my Live Stream night! Last night I created one prepared card, and one adlib card *eek*!! I created both cards using the Peaceful Deer Bundle and the Free Peaceful Prints DSP from Sale a Bration.

Now if you watch the video, you’ll know I wasn’t overly happy with my second card! BUT I have been looking at it, and I think it needs some bling! SOOOO I’m going to go back and see what else I can add. I might photograph it after that, if it turns out okay!

Here’s the measurements on the card I was happy with!

• Real Red Base 10.5cm x 26cm – scored and folded at 13cm
• Real Red 5.5cm x 10.5cm – for Tailor Made Tag
• Sahara Sand DSP 10cm x 5cm
• Stripe DSP 10cm x 7.5cm
• Basic White 4.5cm x 9.5cm – for Tailor Made Tag

Hello Friends!! Some of you may know that I’m still chasing down the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip. It’s due to you, my lovely customers and team members that I’m able to earn these trips, so have I got a BIG THANKS Promotion for you!!

I’m offering you my own Stampin Rewards – 20% extra on your purchases. That’s twice as much as Stampin’ Up! gives you on orders that reach $250.

You will need to email me with your orders, as I’ll need to place them myself so that I can add your 20% Extra.

I’m a bit of a math gal, so let me do some scenarios for you 🙂

Place a $100 order (before postage), and you’ll receive an extra $20 to spend on me. Simple right?

Here’s another scenario – place a $250 order (before postage), and you’ll receive $50 to spend on me, PLUS you’ll get the $25 that Stampin’ Up! gives you!! – WOWZERS!!

PLUS you’ll also be earning your Sale a Bration Freebies.

BUT…. there is a catch! I’m only needing 4000 points and once I’ve reached those points, I’ll be ending my promotion. (or 30th September – deadline)

I’ve made up a little tracker – for every 100 points, I’ll colour one of the dots Dark Green (maybe I should call it Mossy Meadow?). Once the dots are all green, the promotion ends.

This is one way I can give back to you as a Massive THANK YOU for all your support.

If you’ve used the host code this month, you’ll still be getting your Thank You next month, but for the 20% extra you will need to contact me so I can place your order. I won’t be able to add your extras otherwise.

I’m super excited, and scared and all the emotions rolled into one!!

My hubby has gone away for a couple of weeks work, and I always feel a moochy on the day he leaves. So, I headed into my craft room, not really feeling in the mood to work work. Instead, I pulled out a stamp set that hasn’t seen ink yet (I’ve got plenty of those from the new Holiday Catalogue). I just thought I’d start colouring and see where it took me!

I really loved this stamp set as soon as I saw it in the Catalogue, it was one of the first I ordered, but have only just used it.

Here’s a quick run down on the card:

• Stamp image on Basic White with Memento Ink
• Colour with Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue Blends
• Paint wings with Wink of Stella
• Fussy cut image
• Flirty Flamingo Card Base 10.5cm x 26cm (folded at 13cm)
• Daffodil Delight Brights DSP 10.5cm x 9.5cm
• Balmy Blue card layer 3.5cm x 10.5cm
• Adhere Angel with Dimensionals
• Stamp sentiment, but trim to use only Peace on Earth
• Add Rhinestones

She’s a simple card, but still pretty I hope. I had actually thought about using different die labels in the back ground etc, but as I was pulling the colours I needed from my card files and putting them beside me, the layout literally just produced itself. I did switch out the plain Daffodil card for the DSP tho.

I’ll probably still mooch for the rest of the day, but at least I’ve been a little productive right? 🙂

Here’s the supplies I used:
