Perth Regionals!

Saturday was our Perth Regionals event – a great day where we get to catch up with other demonstrators from around WA for some stamping, chatting and catching up!

I used my new *favourite* stamp set Artistic Etchings to create my swaps for the day and I made two versions of the same design – one using Real Red & Basic Black and the other using Baja Breeze & Soft Suede:

I managed to make about 50 swaps and got busy madly swapping when I arrived at the Convention Centre, so I received around the same number of lovely swaps from other demonstrators! Here is a pic of all the amazing ideas I received:

It’s so lovely to enjoy a day where we get fantastic ideas and inspiration from a range of different people, and we get to catch up with other demonstrators and stamping frends and our fantastic team of girls!It’s always hard to get all the stamping done when we get to catch up with the girls – there’s always more chatting than stamping!!

Here’s a photo of our ‘Klass Act’ team:

Here is a pic of me with the amazing Sarah Klass – my upline and inspiration:

And here are some of my team and stamping friends – Jan, me and Michelle.

Plus one of my good friends – the lovely Louise:

I’ll be back soon with some more pics of the projects we made at Regionals with our new stamp set we received – Every Moment. Come back to see this beautiful stamp set and some great ideas for using it in a variety of projects!

New products & an Engagement card

I am loving playing with my new products from the new catalogue and one of my absolute favourites has been the Newsprint DSP – I am going to need to order a new pack soon, because I have already used up some of the designs!

I made an engagement card for a friend last week that featured the music sheet from the Newsprint DSP with a quote from the Hostess Level 3 Occasional Quotes stamp set.

The music notes are lovely for a romantic card and also rather appropriate for the couple who are both very musical! I added a flourish from Baroque Motifs in Riding Hood Red and then stamped it off on the background of the quote as well.

I have some more projects to show using new catalogue products so I’ll share those in the next few days!

Happy Moments

I had some fun playing with my Sale-a-Bration stamps last week and quickly created a few simple cards using the Happy Moments & Whimsical Words stamps. As I started stamping and watercolouring the images, I realised that I could put them together to create a set of co-ordinating cards using some of my favourite colours – Regal Rose, Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie and Certainly Celery.

Here is the present/ birthday card:

Each of the cards feature a different image from the Happy Moments set which are stamped in Basic Black and watercoloured using my Aquapainters. I love this set because it has 4 great images that are useful for any occasion! And they are just begging to be watercoloured!!

Here is the birdcage card which could be a great “just because” card or to cheer someone up!

The main images are punched out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch and the large scalloped circle is created by punching out a Scallop Circle and then following this technique shown here on Marelle Taylor’s blog to spread it around the circle and make it even bigger!

Here is the birthday cake card:

And the last one is the flower card – a nice one for a “Thankyou” or “Thinking of you” card:
