Simply Sketchin' Saturday

 

Two posts in one day ... I haven't done that in awhile. But I thought I would share a card that I made for the second Simply Sketchin' Saturday Facebook group. Here is this week's sketch #SSS2:

  

This is my interpretation of the sketch.  I did change the orientation of my card though. I have used Stampin' Up! cardstock in Whisper White and Lemon Lime Twist and the ombre background was created using Lemon Lime Twist ink and my trusty brayer. All other products are non-Stampin' Up!

 

 

This card has a cheery and happy feel to it and it shall be going to a special person celebrating their birthday later in January. 

 

Happy Stampin!

WELCOME TO 2022

Happy New Year to all or anyone that still follows my sad little blog that doesn't get updated very often because it's owner is a little slack!

So with a new year comes a new Occasions mini and a new Sale-a-bration offer with lots of lovely new goodies in both catalogues. 

You will find links to the catalogues over to the right and below is a pretty card made with Flowing Flowers from the new Occasions Mini. I made this card for a challenge over on the new Simply Sketchin' Saturday Group on Facebook and this is sketch #SSS1. 

 

 

I'm going to try to keep up with the challenges each week (LOL)  in the hope that it will give me a stash of cards for the year ahead. On the group you can use any products so I will be sharing cards that aren't all Stampin' Up! products.  

Well that's it from me. If you want to order anything, please contact me and I can help you out.

Happy Stampin'

2021 HOLIDAY MINI SNEAK PEAK

Good afternoon lovelies

Well here we are again in lockdown in Brisbane... it's becoming a regular thing these days! Well at least I have something to share with you that may help lift your spirits.

The 2021 Holiday Mini Catalogue goes live tomorrow and there are so many beautiful goodies in there .. as usual. At the same time and until the end of September there will be a second release of Sale-a-bration. Spend $90 and you can choose some of the free items on offer in the catalogue.

As a demonstrator, I have been able to place a pre-order so I chose the Christmas Season Bundle and the Christmas to Remember stamp set. You can find these on pages 18 and 19 of the mini. Here's a little card that I created today, it's not the best shot as it looks a lot brighter in real life. The background paper is from Tiding of Christmas and inks used were Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Real Red, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip (retired), Wild Wasabi (retired)and Garden Green. The bow is from the  Wishing You Well stamp set (Retired) and the Gilded Gems.

Stay well and safe in lockdown ladies wherever you may be and pop back tomorrow to click on the link to the new Holiday Mini.

2020 ADVENT CALENDAR

Several years ago, I made some Advent Calendars for friends but never made one for myself. So last year I decided it was time I did just that. I used papers from Mintay and here's the finished product.

I am so happy with my finished calendar and the best part is that I can use it for many years to come.

Happy Stampin'

CARDS OF 2020

I actually still make cards and lots of them, but I seem to forget about my blog and never post them. Here's a few of last years and they all contain some kind of Stampin' Up! product but I like to work with other companies as well.

 If you are interested in knowing what I used on any of the cards, just comment below!

Happy Stampin'
