Stampin' Up! Australia 2018 Occasions Catalogue Index

I love the index in the back of our Annual Catalogue - it makes it easy for me to tick off my purchases. The Occasions and seasonal Catalogues don't have that list so I made my own to share with my customers. 

If you are also a lover of marking off your index you are welcome to print a copy of my list. Click the picture of the Catalogue front and it should take your straight there to download, save or print a copy.

I am an Australian Stampin' Up! Demonstrator so the prices are Aussie dollar but the names codes and I believe pages are the same so it will still work wherever in the world you are.

Stampin' Up! Happy Celebrations Greeting Card

Hi and welcome back - this card was initially created for my Stamp-A-Stack last month and I loved it so much I had to recreate it in the Colour Inkspirations challenge colours. I belong to many card related Facebook groups and this group is a Stampin' Up! one - need some challenges and on Facebook - you can request to join HERE.

 
A beautiful combination of colours and this card can be made with either the Island Indigo or the Melon Mambo being the feature colour. 
 


You know I love to decorate the inside and envelopes well here they are!
I have also made a short video so you can see the process to stamp your own version of this card.



 
 
 
For class I used this colour combination Bermuda Bay, Basic Grey and Tangerine Tango.
 
 
 
 Goodie List - just add your tools and trimmer.

Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-Bration 2018 ESAD Blog Hop


Welcome to the ESAD February Blog Hop - how great was Sandra's project? There is plenty more inspiration where that came from!
I am still loving the Party Pandas - they are a heap of fun and make super cards. Its funny I have so many sets that haven't seen ink yet I keep going back to these cute little guys.


Their hats are coloured with markers and I have Versamarked the background with the Happy Birthday that is included in the set. I have used a scrap of DSP from the Naturally Eclectic DSP and the larger spotty DSP is from the Pick a Pattern DSP. Essentially the DSP is interchangeable on this fun card.
The inside is blank except for the Panda holding the card.


.

Thank you for joining us on this hop - please pop on over to Ellen's blog to see what goodies she has to share with us.

Stampin’ Up! Bird Banter - SBTD February Critters Blog Hop

 
Welcome to our monthly SBTD Blog Hop - did you love Lindsay's Party Panda's as much as I did? If you have hopped on over from Lindsay's Blog in Colorado - well welcome to the sunny - stinkin' hot Australian summer time here where the birdlife is abundant!

Did you know the Budgerigar is native to Australia? They are nomadic birds found in open habitats, primarily in scrublands, open woodlands, and grasslands. Bird Banter has the Aussies covered with this little guy and the Cockatoo stamp. (Best bit is there's 2 of the Budgie - one facing in each direction!)


I got to use up a load of coloured scraps for my script to sit on to give the card a fun bright multi-coloured look. I punched the hole through the 3 layers of card - yes it was a real effort but worth it, traced the circle on the inner piece with a very light pencil so I could line up my bird.


The balloons and bird were coloured using out Stampin' Blends.




I hope you like my cards but for now thank you for visiting me and lets go back across the globe you go to visit the Stamping Hive with Tashana and see 'critters' she has played with for her project.

Stampin' Up! Petal Palette Greeting Card.

One of the Demonstrator ‘Perks’ for want if a better word is a quarterly magazine called Success. It is filled with great ideas for classes and workshops. My favourite section is the Step it Up’ Card that they do as I love seeing the 'process' if you can call it that to add pizzazz to what is already a lovely card.

Today I made the simple workshop card from the magazine - then Stepped it up! Hope you like it - I can now see some other colour options and ways to used the actual design elements of the card.


 
 
So nice yes? well this is my Stepped Up version and I am sure I could tweak it more but then that would take me to where my hubby says "your over thinking it". I will admit I have since gone back and added some rhinestones to both that I coloured with the Night of Navy Stampin' Blends (love that you can do that).
 


Are you getting use to me showing you my insides and envelopes yet? Well here they are - essentially the insides are the same but the envelopes are not.

 

 
I have done something a little extra this time - I took a video of me making them for your to see my process. I have sped it up and popped a music with it but if you would like to see how easy both of these are please take a peak. This is the first video I have made and I know there is room for improvement - yes I will keep practicing and sharing more now I have figured out the 'how' to film, edit and add information to it. So watch this space! Please excuse the bruises - they are from failed cannula attempts after a recent hospital visit - it was pointed out they are very obvious - whoops.
 
 


 You will need to make the Stepped Up version a Big Shot, Trimmer, Dimensionals and adhesives plus these goodies below.
