Fabulous Best Dressed Card.

The end of the current Annual catalogue is sneaking up fast and I still have so many things to play with and share. The Best Dressed Designer Series Paper is retiring and I have had these bottles fussy cut for ages but never done anything with them - decided it was about time.

Click the photo to get taken to the shopping list for this card. 
I created the Lovely Lipstick version first using the handbags - I loved it so much that I had to make the Highland Heather one. Bonus for you guys I also took a video which you will find below. 

Whilst the Best Dressed DSP may be retiring the Dressed to Impress stamp set and the All Dressed Up Dies are staying with the new Annual Catalogue that starts on the 3rd of June 2020.

May Magnolia Online Class

Welcome to my FIRST Online Class! This time we are creating with the Magnolia Lane Suite and as some of the products in this suite will be retiring, I wanted to use them whilst I could. Notably the Magnolia Lane DSP is retiring as is the coordinating ribbon and the Magnolia Lane stamp set from the beginner catalogue. You can see a "sneak peek" of our cards for this class in the picture below.

Class options-
1. Tutorial plus class packet.

If you are in Australia and would like me to send out the materials to make these projects as well as the video tutorial showing how to put them together then all you need to do is place an order with me through my ONLINE STORE and when you check out be sure to use the Host Code 7MV6Q9NM. This Host Code will identify that you wish to be part of the class so that I can send the materials out. I have decided not to place a minimum order amount on ordering right now as I understand that some people may have financial constraints that do not allow them to place larger orders. So ANY size order that uses this code will qualify you for the class. And yes, you can add retiring products or clearance rack items to your order.
The video link will be sent to you by email within 24 hours of placing your order. This Online Class option will be open to register until Friday 29th May, 2020. Class packs will all be in the mail either by the end of this week (for earlier orders) or by Monday 31st May (for later orders).
Please note that the materials sent out will include the die cut or punched shapes needed for these cards, all you need to do is stamp them and assemble them together. (You do not have to own this stamp set - you can substitute with any suitable sentiment stamps you have in your collection) You'll need the following inks and adhesives (or similar)-

Suggested Inks:
• Early Espresso
• Mossy Meadow
• Memento
• So Saffron
• Pear Pizzazz
• Petal Pink
Adhesvies:
• Snail
• Tombow Multipurpose glue
• Dimensionals
Other:
• Sponge Dauber or sponge (daubers work better, but a sponge will also do)


2 Tutorial only.
I hope you will join me for this Online class this month and that you enjoy these beautiful cards. No matter where you are in the world you are welcome to purchase the "Tutorial Only" option.  I have set up a PayPal Me button for this.  You will get the link to the video tutorial, and can follow the instructions using whatever stamps and products you have in your stash.  The cost for this option is $20 Aud. Here is the PayPal button that takes you to the payment page. Please note this is not an instant download - the link to the video will arrive within 24 hours to your email inbox.

If you love this suite as much as I do, the DSP and the DSP bulk packet are still available at time of writing. The stamp set (Good morning Magnolia) and the matching dies (Magnolia Memory Dies) will both be available in the new catalogue. The coordinating Magnolia Blooms will be retiring but at time of writing it is still available.

Until next time - remember you can get your paper craft supplies in Australia without even leaving home through my Stampin' Up! Store front by clicking on the picture below.

Saying Good-Bye to Fable Friends and Crackle Paint stamp sets - SBTD May Blog Hop

It's May and in the Stampin' Up! world its retirement month! Stamp sets are going into the archives - retiring from sale many favourites, many cough cough uninked but I had to have them - you get it right? Well Fable Friends and Crackle background are both going! I know I was gob smacked as well and oh no I will miss them, that cute little bunny. Both have seen ink in fact lots of ink but there is always room for more.

So this cute little Melon Mambo baby card with its bunny stamped using the Saddle Brown Stazon then coloured with water colour pencils is such a sweetie - completely different to the card I shared a couple of weeks ago coloured with Stampin' Blends. 

Can't make a baby girl card and not have a matching baby boy card now can we? I had some of this blue DSP already cut so instead of stamping the crackle I just used it to make this as a quicker option.

Clicking the pictures or the resource list will take you to where you will find all the items used to make the Melon Mambo version of this card. This DSP for the blue version is from Come Sail Away DSP pack. If you are looking at this after May 2020 be aware that these stamps will have retired and no longer be available through your demonstrator. Bonus for you though when goodies retire it is to make room for new exciting items so check out what you could use instead.

Thanks for popping in now let's now see what retiring stamp set Sarah has picked to share by clicking the next button below.

Stampin' Up! Ornate Garden Specialty DSP Decoupage Coasters

Using the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp set from the Ornate Style Bundle I have created this cute little gift for my mum.

The resources are listed here or is you click any of the photos.

For the card I have coloured the image using our Stampin' Blends. Heads up though if you want to colour with these on the envelope then you need to pop a piece of card inside it first so that it doesn't go all the way through.
The base of the card is stamped tone on tone. My sentiment is from Strong & Beautiful.

The coasters are made using MDF squares and Mod Podge but  however if you watch this video through you will see the pen tub I have made using our Stampin' Up! Fine Tip Glue instead.

Until next time -
