Stampin' Up! Bird Banter - a loud chatter amongst the trees.

This is a very sweet set and I started loving it the moment I got my hot little hands on it. I saw my boy Roy in a stamp and that's a big deal. You can see a post I did about him HERE from when I shared a Memories and More Page I did.

 
I have shared a few of my samples from On Stage November 2017 Melbourne Australia but not all of them - so I though I might add a few to the blog as we bid this set a fond farewell as its retiring at the end of this week.
 


This set covers more occasions than there is sentiments in the packet - below is a card that was given as an engagement congratulations card. Those 2 little lovebirds - Budgies are perfect together and I'm glad the set had them one in each direction.
How lush does the Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder look in the foil?


Those demonstrators that were in Melbourne know I love balloons - I think I mentioned it a few times lol - these were fun to colour with the aqua painter and have a pretty sheen/sparkle because of the shimmer card that the camera just doesn't catch.
I have used the budgie and balloons on this card that can be found HERE - he is just super cute!



Well that's all for Bird Banter from me - I don't know about you but I can't wait to get a hold of the new stamps in the new catalogue - haven't shortened my wish list to match my budget yet so better get cracking. I think I might just put everything in 'need' order and work my way through the list over the coming months!

 Basic supplies list as you can recreate these cards with any colours - if you do I'd love to see them so feel free to pop a message to my Facebook Page with a pic.

Butterfly Basics Stampin' Up! - Sending Wishes your Way!

There is something special about the way one feels when colouring in.


The Stampin' Blends are beautiful alcohol markers that give the artist (yes you) some wonderful results even for the beginner. This flower image from Butterfly Basics could almost be coloured in any colour and look amazing - funny though I don't do blue flowers for some reason. This flower is a combination of Pink Pirouette and Rich Razzleberry.

Mother's Day Celebrations and Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper SBTD May


Where did May go? I would have to say it has so far been the busiest month this year all round! Welcome to the May Stampers By The Dozen Blog Hop so glad you could join us for this celebration of Mother's or Father's Day.

Mother's Day - the second Sunday in May in Australia saw me working a 12 hour shift at the hospital, then home for dinner and a very quickly sound asleep in front of the Telly.


These were the cards I made - I cut up a whole packet of the Sweet Soiree DSP all at 10 x 14.4cm which netted me 72 card fronts with a few bits off the side left over. I took out the spotty piece for another project that you will see HERE so I was left with 60 fronts. Last year I made 60 cards and we didn't use them all so I decided 40 would be a great number.
I did not envisage the population explosion that we were in for that weekend - I ran out this year!



It was lovely to come home to this little gem from my oldest - she raided my stash on day whilst I was sleeping of a night shift. She fussy cut the banner since she couldn't find the framelits lol.


I hope all the mums out there has a great Mother's Day. Now lets hop on over to Tashana to see what she has created for our hop.
