Fabulous Fridays @ 5'o'clock'ish, 27Nov2020!

 Welcome back to another FF@5'ish blog post!

I've a little bit of a tutorial today for you.  I watched a clip by Kelly Creates this morning and thought I'd try it.  I really didn't like using the corner of an ink pad so I experimented using my Stampin' Write Markers.  I was much happier with the outcome.  Here, take a look!


And here are two cards created using the finished water coloured hand drawn trees!

 



I hope you like this little tutorial and the experimenting I have done with my Stampin' Write Markers.  Now I do think I should give those rather dry ones a bit of a re-ink!

Til next time, remember

happy stamping, colouring & creating!

You can purchase the whole set of markers here but you can also purchase them in their colour families too and their Incolour groups as well... check them out in my online store linked below! (The sentiment stamp is from the currrently available Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin Kit, don't miss out, it's a gorgeous kit)

TuTu Tuesday, 17th November 2020!

 Hello lovely people! 

Welcome to a new Tutu Tuesday. Whilst this isn't a tutorial as such, it is an unboxing of something I feel everyone will find very easy and satisfying to make.

Firstly though, can't forget a Tutu can we, and in a bit of a Christmas Colour theme too!


This is a Christmas themed Paper Pumpkin Kit, Joy to the World.  This kit is available only whilst stocks last.  You get enough in the kit to make 8 beautiful Christmas cards and it includes matching lined envelopes too!  You will see that it includes a polymer stamp set that you will have for many years of stamping too!

Let's watch!

 
 
Want to purchase this kit?  You will find it in my store right now! The only extra thing you will need is and acrylic block. You will need one approx 7.5cm square.
 
so, til next time, remember
happy stamping, colouring & creating!

FF@5'o'clock, 13 November 2020!

 Welcome everyone

This week I'm sharing a few things from last weekend's Live OnStage At Home Stampin' Up! event.  We had such a wonderful time and got to order Product Purchase Premier items before the weekend was even over!  Needless to say I did order a few new products AND they were delivered in record time on Monday!  Only attendees could place orders so we were in for a real treat.  I've already christened a few of my products as you will see below.  The catalogue is going live 5th January 2021 so you won't be seeing a lot until we are closer to the release date. But we sure are allowed to share what we were able to buy early!

There were make & takes to create together online, prizes and loads of inspiration from creating to selling to encouragement & building up each other as well as our Stampin' Up! teams.  Prior to the event when we booked to attend we could also buy 'Swag"  That is merchandise no one else can purchase!  We got this fabulous tote bag, rainbow pens, pins we can swap with other demos if we wanted to, note books, stickers, limited edition grid paper made just for this event and we all received a beautiful stamp set called Enjoy the Moment which will be in the Mini catalogue coming 5th January. 


Thursday evening was opening night with all kinds of awards being presented.  And what wouldn't a Stampin' Up! event be with out some live entertainment to begin.  We were in for such a treat.  No other than Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo!  How blessed were we!  It was fabulous!  Sorry, we are not allowed to share anything live so you'll have to make do with this screen shot!

 

I created this lovely card whilst watching different presenters too. I used the stamp set we were sent in our swag boxes, Enjoy the Moment...

 
These next cards are the three 'make & takes' we made with pre-ordered new products that we ordered prior to the weekend. They will also be in the new mini catalogue! 
 
 
My PPP Order from the weekend (Product Purchase Premier) arrived so fast my head was spinning.  Only Onstage attendees can order these new products.  All other demos who didn't attend have to wait until next month to be able to pre-order anything from the new January 2021 to June 2021 mini catalogue. Customers can order from 5th January 20201.  Want to be able to order earlier?   Then why not join my Team, you can sign up here...
 
 
This next card I have created using a new stamp set that I feel is going to be really popular. It also has a matching set of dies too, Simply Succulents Stamps, Potted Succulents Dies and wait for it, a new amazing 3D embossing folder that resembles and is called Textured Paint. I love it!



 
I stamped my Coastal Cabana ink pad all over one side of this new embossing folder before I inserted whisper white card stock, ran it through my new Stampin' Cut N' Embossing machine. Fabulous effect.  I stamped the large succulents stamp, the pot and the small succulent stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento ink then hand coloured the images using an assortment of Stampin' Blends.  I have a few of these plants in my gardens so I think I've managed to get the colouring quite matching!  The small succulent stamp I stuck to my envelope.  We all know you just can't have naked envelopes!
 
So that's all for this week, I hope you like the look of what I've shared.  I know it's a little while away but believe me it's worth the wait.  This mini catalogue is so very very pretty. Are you a fan of florals?  Then don't miss getting this catalogue.   If you have placed a $60+ order with me in the last six months and want this catalogue along with the Sale-A-Bration catalogue, then let me know and I'll have them sent to you.  
(Australian residents only I'm sorry)

til next time, remember
happy stamping, colouring & creating!

Tutu Tuesday, 3rd November 2020!

Welcome back, it's nice to see you here!  Do leave me some comments below so I know you enjoyed my tutorial.

Yes, I've made a new video tutorial!  About time some of you may be say LOL.

Gather all your items together and get cracking.   I have my friend Jane Clark, to thank for this inspiration.  Both Jan & I are certified Copic Marker designers.   I thought I'd give this a go using Stampin' Up!'s Blend markers seeing as they are alcohol based too!

Take a look at how I did then why don't you have a go!
