I Dig You !

Hi there fellow paper crafters, I have been having fun doing a few party/ workshops for some friends and thought you might like to see some of the samples I made using the I Dig You set. I was asked by my client if she could have a children's birthday card theme at her party, she also asked if it could include diggers so I did my best to oblige and this is what I came up with...

I used the new Core'dinations card stock found in the current holiday catalogue on page 6 with this one, it's great to tear as it shows a different colour inside and it's also brilliant to use with our embossing folders because you can sand back the embossed image to show the inside colour of the card stock.

 I just used the "Dirt"stamp for the dirt in this one but cut the tipper truck's body and raised it on dimensionals, I also used our Scor it tool to give it some ripples and make it look like metal.

This is the inside of the card below and was the one everyone made for their make and take at the party. I used one of the stamps from the "Bring on the cake"set which is great for kids birthdays as you can just colour in the number and circle the appropriate abbreviation to go with it.

 This is the make and take card everyone made and was inspired by a card I had seen on SCS by Tayransom.

This card was also inspired by one I had seen on SCS by Wendybell.

 I had to make one for the girls too and this is my personal favourite :-) I used the "Itty Bitty" stamps and matching punches for the flowers. I also added a few pearls to pretty it up :-)

I hope you like them, thanks for stopping by and please come and visit again.

Dazzling Technique Video Tutorial

This is a short video on how to do the Dazzling Lights Technique which I demonstrated at the Perth Heartfelt Event this year. I have had several requests to this video so I appreciate all the encouragement and patience you have shown me. I'm sorry it wasn't  up sooner but with a wedding last week and my husband being very unwell and hospitalised I have had a few other things on my mind.
 I hope to make some more technique videos in the future, please keep in mind this is my very first attempt and it was made on my phone in one take. So be kind inky people! I hope this encourages you all to have a go at getting ink and glitter on your hands.

A couple more from Regional Convention...

I know the picture quality isn't the best, but I had to just take a couple of quick ones with my phone before they were whisked away. The beautiful peacock is from the new set called "World Treasures", I'm sure you will be seeing a lot more from this set as I really like it.

 I love these colours, Pool party and Midnight muse.

I hope you like them, lots of inky hugs from....

Well the catalogues have landed, that's right you read that correctly "CatalogueS" there are two of them to fill your eyes with delight ;-) The good news doesn't stop there, you'll be pleased to know that your dollar will now buy you even more goodies due to a lot of our products having had a price reduction.

As always you will find the catalogues in my side bar on the right hand side along with the link to just click on to see them online, but as it's their first day out, I'm going to give them to you right here too.....

Aren't they just gorgeous! If you would like to get your hands on a hard copy of these, please don't hesitate to contact me via my Stampin'' Up! web site  HERE  which is also located on the right hand side. I am also holding a catalogue launch day on the 8th of September and you can come and join in the fun of making three great projects using newly released products, all while sharing light refreshments and chatting with friends. Oh and of course listening  for your name to be called out for numerous door prizes and raffles.
 I have some more exciting news coming up about some product shares that you may like to join in with. You can get your hands on all the papers and ribbons at a fraction of the price buy joining in on a share.

An Interlude..

Hello there paper crafters, I thought you may like to see a couple of cards I made a while ago for some friends, so while I am still going to upload more from the Dazzling Lights technique and of course the instructions. These pictures are just an interlude to keep you entertained in the mean time ;-) Enjoy.

Planets not in alignment......

Hello again papercrafters, I am sorry to say that the planets were unable to align tonight and there will be no video as without help I can't mange on my own, I'm afraid I'm not particularly clever when it comes to technology. I will however try my best to perhaps take photos of the "Dazzling Lights" technique along with written instructions for you to see. I will endeavour to upload these in the morning.
 In the meantime I hope you like this picture of another card using this technique.
