New Treasures from my big brown box.

It took a  while but Australia Post finally delivered a box of new goodies. 

Being a Demonstrator has some great perks one of which is getting to play with new stuff befor everyone else can. 

So with the new Blendabilities from Stampin' Up! I set about doing something relaxing and reminiscent - I coloured.

Inspire, create, share 2014 South Pacific Convention Melbourne

What a great first day of convention. 

We have 2 new stamp sets to play with and the new Catalogue to pour over.

I did 34 swaps and the Island Indigo ones were the first to go.

A opening no from "Glinda" - love that song and it was perfect.

A chat from Shelli 

Now I am all inspired and there's still 2 days to go!

Impromptu card making

A friend popped in so we made some cards. 

She had never made a card and in fact she thought she couldn't! 

We started by using the Hip Hip Hooray kit but tizzed it up with some DSP Soho Subway scraps.

We followed this with a 'yellow' card.

So out came the Daffodil Delight that we complimented with a Tangerine Tango and Watercolour Wonder DSP.

More Petite Petals

You may have guessed I am loving the Petite Petals bundle. It's great value and perfect for anyone new to rubber stamping or a seasoned stamper. 

As a bundle you save 15% so in wood $39.75 clear $34.75. Bundle available till the 30th June after that the punch is $18.95 the stamp set $27.95 (w) $21.95 (c) and only sold separately.

Want to know how I coloured the pearls? Email me bagsthatone@hotmail.com , message me through Facebook or via my Stampin' Up page (link in side column) to book your workshop and I will show you how.

I have just got home from convention!
I had heard so much about convention over the 7years I have been purchasing Stampin' Up! products. Now as a new demonstrator I am understanding the who ha, feeling blessed I got to be here, and kicking myself I didn't join sooner. (Isn't hind site wonderful) I have made new friends, got some wonderful ideas and most if all have a goal to ensure I am joining in the fun next year.

So the short and curly version -
We got free stuff, made some great projects and saw some awesome presentations so I am inspired but exhausted!

The Dauber

What difference can a Dauber make you ask?

 

They can be used for different techniques from the basic spot application to applying a fine colour highlight to the edges of card to give a sense of depth.
I have created some examples to show you the difference a dauber can make.



 

No Dauber

Dauber to highlight edges
