Beautiful You AWH Blog Hop

Today I'm excited to bring you a blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin' Up!® team. You may have just arrived from the lovely Kate Morgan. Today we focus on the new Occasions Stampin' Up!® Seasonal Catalogue and also Sale-a-bration! If you place an order with me during Sale-a-bration, you can choose a free item with every $90 you spend in one transaction. There are lots of fabulous free items to choose from (ask me for a brochure and an Occasions Catalogue) and the promotion goes right through until March 31st.
Better still, become a part of the fun, friendly and supportive Art With Heart team. We have a really large team Australia-wide that has been around since Stampin' Up!® came to Australia over ten years ago. We have a very active team forum and also have in-person stamp days, challenges, card swaps, product shares and more. When you join with me during Sale-a-bration, you get to choose get to two free extra stamp sets (any value) plus whatever product to the value of $235 from any of the current Stampin' Up!® catalogues. That is a total of  $414 in product for $169. You also get free postage!. It's
 quick and easy to join online too. Ask me how!



There are many different ways to inspire your creativity: checking out blogs and Pinterest and CASE-ing (copy and share everything, or copy and selectively edit, if you prefer). That is perfectly acceptable, as long as you also credit the original which inspired you, preferably with a link to it.
You can start with a sketch or some colour swatches, that often really works for me. Another crazy way is this - I can't bear to throw out something that might be able to be used, so if I die cut extra leaves or labels etc, they go into a container, and from time to time I check it out to see if I can use anything. That is exactly how this trio of cards came about. The Crumb Cake frames were from a project ages ago, and I was playing with the flowers, leaf and 'happy'. Later, when I searched for more, it occurred to me that I had three frames, and there are three girls in Beautiful You. This stamp set is on page 24 of the Occasions Catalogue, and it has been very popular already, mainly because you can use it in so many different ways.

The girl with umbrella is bringing 'hope' (from Sunshine Sayings), paired with the Beautiful You sentiment, 'wishing you brighter days to come'. The clouds are from Lift Me Up, the beautiful hot air balloon set. The other addition is a few strokes with the White Stampin' Chalk Marker on page 181 of the Annual catalogue. It's only $6.00 and can make such a difference.     
                                                                                                         
This figure is so elegant, and I couldn't resist adding Botanical Blooms to the picture frame. 'You' comes from Hello You Thinlits, which pairs with a stamp set Crazy About You. Of course, you don't NEED to have both, but they sure do come in handy.                                            
This card was my actual starting point, with the Flourish Thinlet leaf and 'happy' from Hello You Thinlets. The Tip Top Taupe has proved to be a great base for the other lovely shades, whether it's the soft pastels or bold brights. It also allows the Crumb Cake frame to show up. Which card do you like the most?
Now you'll be hopping over to my good friend Kathryn Mangelsdorf, I'm sure she has a gorgeous project to share.
Cheers, and happy crafting
Rachel

Everyday Occasions - CTC92


Sunday has arrived very quickly for me this week, but it might just be that I have an awful lot on my plate at the moment. Welcome back for another turn of CASE-ing The Catty blog hop. Did you like Julia's  pretty card made with Thoughtful Branches? We are always telling you how there is so much inspiration to be found within the pages of the catalogue. I do hope you are finding it useful to check out the catalogues to see what the talented designers at Stampin' Up! have made before CASE-ing it. That might mean using the sketch, the colours or some other aspect to stir your creativity into action.



The first card CASES the sketch on page 70 of the Annual catalogue, but changes the colours from yellows to pink and plum. Instead of stamping on the base card, I used my favourite piece of patterned paper from Blooms & Bliss DSP. The stamp set is the same as the catalogue sample, Crazy About You and I even used exactly the same Hello You Thinlet and sentiment. 


The second card uses the same idea, but the banner has been changed to a piece of washi tape, the Hello You Thinlet  has been used with a different sentiment along with Jars of Love stamp set. Jars of Love is one of my favourites amongst the new additions to my stamp shelves, and just wait until you see the Christmas version in the Holiday Catalogue. It is called Jar of Cheer and you can order from the Holiday Catalogue from September 1st 2016- January 3rd 2017. Although I've only used the matching thinlets to cut flowers on this card, they can come in quite handy when you want to make a shaker card using this set too, as I did a while back. 
Don't forget, if you're making an order through my online shop, it will ask for the HOSTESS Code before you check out. August 21st - Spetember 20th it is P2KYFUU9

Next you're heading over to the lovely Krissy Buck, to see what loveliness she is sharing this week. I love it!


We'd love you to share your creations here too. The link to do that is here at CASE-ing The Catty.


I will be absent from CASE-ing The Catty for a few weeks while I take my hard-working hubby on a well-deserved holiday in the sun. There will be other posts from me over the next couple of weeks, but its too hard to link in with the CASE-ing The Catty Crew from afar!!!
Cheers, Rachel

A Nice Cup Of Tea, Mother? FMS225 & CTD381

I had an empty house this evening, so dinner was uncomplicated, giving me more time to put together another card. It's a little bit exciting, because I had another order from Stampin' Up!® arrive this morning, and it contains a lot of things from the Occasions Catalogue that I thought I could do without, until I saw all the lovely cards and projects others were making, and had to get mine too!

I really knew deep down that Cups and Kettle Framelits Dies and A Nice Cuppa Stamp set would make it into my collection, since I'm a traditional tea drinker. No point in having a cup of tea, unless it's been brewed in the tea pot!

The colour inspiration came from Color Throwdown (and the lovely Birthday Bouquet DSP). Two teapots were cut with a framelit, one in Pink Pirouette, the other in Mint Macaron. I tested to see if  'Mother's Day' from Crazy About You fitted into the banner stamp from Number Of Years. It did, yay! the 'happy' framelit is bundled with Crazy About You at a 15% discount in the Annual Catty.

This sketch by Jen Mitchell, design team member at Freshly Made Sketches is an absolute WINNER in my book. One to file and re-use often. The teapot is used instead of the square this time around. I nearly made it a square to sit on, but it looks lovely as it is.

Hope you're having a crafty day,
Cheers, Rachel

South Pacific Stampin' Up!® Convention 2015 - Day Two

Friday was the second day of Convention for me and sunny Queensland wasn't quite so sunny
anymore. There were strong winds and heavy showers of rain. My weather app. wasn't totally truthful about how bad the weather was!
We were at the Convention Centre in time for the doors to open at 8.30am for General session. By now, we'd all had a look through the catalogue, I'd even started post-it marking some of the ones I considered 'must-haves'. There were a few on the pre-order list that I was going to be able to leave off. The budget was looking like it would balance!

Then Sara Douglass demonstrated Sprinkles Of Life, the new stamp set that supports Ronald McDonald House Charities. It makes it seem so much better knowing $3 of the $37 purchase price goes directly to RMHC in the country of purchase. Stampin' Up!® support this charity in other ways as well. We all contribute cards for the occupants to use, and many demos and SU staff take part in community service activities. Above,is one of the cards Sara showed, there are so many super-cute ideas, I can hardly wait to have this one as a class! (I'm thinking....July?) It has a dinky little Tree Builder Punch which co-ordinates with it too! [squeal]

Pam Jorgensen demonstrated a couple of new stamp sets too, and also included Crazy About You. The colours she used for her samples were very vibrant and I was so enthused I added Build A Birthday to my wish list.



Last item for the morning was being taken through the Make and Take before we broke up and went to another big hall to make our card, and eat our packaged lunch. There was an opportunity to play with new products again if you hadn't already, look at and photograph samples before an afternoon of business training.

Sharon and I were heading back to the hotel for a rest before the evening party. It was only raining lightly, but oh boy! were we being buffeted by the wind? This wasn't the only time our umbrellas turned inside out, but Sharon grabbed her phone and snapped me hanging on for dear life. A little later the rain began bucketing down, and we wondered if we'd go to the presentation and party in the evening. After firing a few text messages around, we'd decided that a taxi was warrented, even though it was only about 500 metres and luckily, the taxi drivers had no qualms about short distance fares.

This has turned out to be a rather long story, so I will hold over the evening event for another post.
Let me know if you enjoy hearing about our event, and if there is anything you want to know, just ask.

Happy Easter Baskets

Oh my goodness! I am on holiday and yet it seems busier than ever. Tonight I have hurriedly put together six Easter baskets for my grandchildren. They were quite quick and easy to make with the Berry Basket Die.
Their parents aren't too keen on them having too many treats (trying to avoid tooth decay) so this way, Grandma feels like she's given a treat, and hopefully the kiddies will be satisfied too. We will see three of them tomorrow, before we head off for a couple of days staying with family out of town. It's been quite a while since we've seen the three out-of-towners, so it will be nice to spend some time with them.

 I cut six different colours using the Berry Basket Die for the baskets, and co-ordinated the bunny or chick from Cheerful Critters for a label. I knew when I ordered that stamp it would be great for birthdays, babies and Easter! I've coloured them with the Stampin' Write Markers. I used two stamps from Crazy About You for one greeting and Hippity-Hoppity is from And Many More. Both these stamp sets have oodles of sentiments!

I do hope that this weekend sees you having some enjoyable times with family and friends also.




Now that SALE-A-Bration has finished, Stampin' Up have another promotion which may be worth looking into if any of these products are on your 'wish list'. This is only from the 1st-17th April, do remember that you can order any time of the day or night with online shopping and delivery starts at $5.95 anywhere in Australia. The hostess code for this month is 6MGVWWGH

There have been a number of products unavailable recently, for several reasons. Firstly, there has been a higher than expected demand for some accessories. Secondly, there has been industrial action at the West Coast ports of the USA, which, although resolved now, means that there is a backlog of product to be shipped. Lastly, there were efforts made to air freight product produced in China,direct from there, but Chinese New Year had an impact on that arrangement. Stamps are manufactured in the US. Sometimes when you place an order, you will be asked if you would like the item to be placed on backorder. If you take this option, the items will ship to you when available with no additional shipping cost. When there is a big backlog of a particular item, Stampin' Up! have turned the item code off temporarily, until they can get the situation under control. Hopefully this will be soon.

Cheers

50th birthday

This weekend, a lovely friend celebrated her 50th birthday. She's a bit cheeky, always teasing others about their age, so it's quite amusing (for me) that she is now a "Golden Oldie". 

How does it feel, G? Ha,ha,ha!...... hope you had a good one and lucky you for getting a day off work for it.

Petal Potpourri and Petite Petals are the main stamps used here, with some of the Little Leaves die cut from gold foil along with '50' (not Stampin' Up! dies). The new Flower Medallion Punch, available as a bundle (15% off) makes the cutting out of multiple flowers super-easy and guess what? It also matches one of the flowers in Crazy About You.

The sketch is a Freshly Made Sketches one from a few weeks ago, where I ended up submitting a different card, Little Buddies Birthday. The colours were from that same week, at ColourQ.


Thanks for looking in, lovely to have you visit.

Rachel

If you choose to shop with me to stock up on your Stampin' Up! supplies (and earn a SALE-A-BRATION freebie with your $90 order) remember to use the hostess code, and I will mail you an additional small gift.

You have until 20th March to use this particular code. This month's Hostess Code is B3M6SRH7

Butterflies In My Garden CTC#21

Each week at CASE-ing The Catty we turn to our Stampin' Up! Catalogues for inspiration. We'd love it if you joined us in CASE-ing The Catty too!



This week we are seeking inspiration from the Everyday section of the Occasions Catalogue. That's the one in the picture above. You can copy exactly, use a sketch or layout as an inspiration starter, or maybe a colour combination to create a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. Then just share which sketch or colour combination inspired you.

Our challenges close at 5pm Thursday (AEDT)

  • Create a new project for the challenge
  • Mention CTC in your blog post and link back so others can join us
  • Mainly SUO products (retired or current) to be used for these challenges

I turned to the Everyday section, marked with a green half-circle at the top right of the page. Most of my favourite stamp sets are in this section, which could make it very hard. Or... I could choose a sketch, step it up and use THREE favourite stamp sets!!!!


At the top of page 20 is a sweet little card, featuring From The Garden. This stamp set was one of three on my must-have list because I do like to potter in my garden, pull a few weeds, strike cuttings and pick a flower or two. This afternoon I picked a huge crop of tomatoes in fact, and nothing on earth tastes better than home-grown tomatoes.

My first CASE of the card was a single layer card. I'm never very comfortable with single layer cards, because smudges are difficult to camouflage, but I used sequins and one of the flowers placed strategically to achieve that! I absolutely love the Framelits to cut little plant labels to hold the greeting, and this sentiment came from Little Buddy Birthdays. I borrowed some of the pink-toned sequins from the Perpetual Calendar Kit, as they come in lovely shades of pink. Flowers are punched using Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack with a candy dot popped into the centre.


Next, I tried another version using two layers. Because it could be discarded if it didn't work, I was brave enough to try spritzing this layer too! The linen thread didn't make it onto this card but the sequins did, along with a sentiment and pair of butterflies from Butterfly Basics. Again, you gotta love those framelits.



For this card, I really went to town with the new Chalkboard paper for the label, stamped with Whisper White Craft Ink. The background is one of the stamps from Butterfly Basics, using Pink Pirouette, Strawberry Slush stamped off once and Pear Pizzazz. The fern leaf, small butterfly and sentiment are also from Butterfly Basics.


Never being satisfied with a one-layer card, the stamped panel is mounted on black and then four of the largest bloom from Crazy About You have been stamped, punched, trimmed and layered. I guess you can still see where my card originated, since there's a multi-coloured background and a plant label with twine, but it's very stepped-up from the inspiration sketch.

NOW, what can you do using the Everyday section of the Occasions catalogue for inspiration? Don't forget to share it with us at CASE-ing The Catty.

Have a great weekend, we celebrate Labour Day here, so Monday is a day off work. 

Rachel
This month's Hostess Code is B3M6SRH7. If you choose to use it when you make an online order, and you allow me to contact you, I will post you a small gift to say thank you.

Weekly Deals by Stampin' Up!


I really wanted to share with you the Weekly Deals offered by Stampin' Up! this week, especially if you are keen to try out the little Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlet. I think that might be my most favourite item this week, and I use it a LOT! The long banner is fabulous for greetings, especially the Crazy About You stamp set and I've popped gift card envelopes into several birthday cards lately, just to hold a little cash.

My Christmas Version

Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Dies by Stampin' Up!
$55.95/ $41.96
There are several punches worth having on special, and the Arrows Textured Embossing Folder that's great for masculine cards, though I've used it on cards for women too. Is it time to stock up on Gold or silver foil? It always adds such a rich feeling to all your creations. I'd also like to get some of the Typeset Specialty Designer Paper while it is on special too.

If you are wanting a few things (and because I want just a few too) you can contact me by email  or mobile 0417 500 681,with your order and payment details before 7pm Monday night, and I will pay your shipping this time. (You'll need to pick it up from my house in South Morang or work in Thomastown, Victoria though.)

If you just can't pick up your order, why don't you use a hostess code as you submit your order, with low cost shipping starting at $5.95. If you use this code for your online order, I will post you a small gift.

This month's Hostess Code is B3M6SRH7

Love You, Happy Valentine's Day - CMCC#58

Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? My husband and I haven't ever really bothered. We were probably too busy with the day-to-day raising of our five sons, and we frequently forget our wedding anniversary too!!! Despite that, I love him and know he loves me.

This card is a sample for the class I am holding tonight, but I might just give it to my love on Saturday, with some chocolates. He'll wonder what's going on!!! My class features the Hello You Thinlets and Crazy About You stamp set, so I've made some other cards to show the versatility of the Thinlets.

Looking at the inspiration picture by Colour Me....! reminds me of a time hubby went out to buy some plumbing supplies and came back with three rose bushes for my garden. He knew I love roses and thought this was more sensible than a bunch of flowers. These roses continue to bloom, year after year, and I have a lifetime of flowers instead of a week's worth. My favourite of the three is the one above. I do have a two-tone flower like the one pictured too, but it doesn't have a sentimental story attached!


I decorated the inside too, with another two layers of card and some stamping using the Hostess stamp set, Time To Celebrate. Love that script, and some hearts came from Perpetual Birthday Calendar.


This challenge gives us some sweet colours to play with, don't forget to have a look at Colour Me...! and see if it gets you creating too.
Have a lovely weekend, however you are spending it.

Softly, Simply.... PP229

No need to re-invent the wheel for this challenge at The Paper Players! Thanks Jaydee for this very practical sketch which allows me to show off my SALE-A-BRATION DSP, along with a piece of the ribbon and a button. I can't believe how lovely this paper is, some of my favourite colours feature here.


The flower is from Crazy About You, the stamp set featuring at my class on 13th February. I haven't decided on the sentiment yet for this card, and it may just be a card for when I write a short note. It was a lot of fun to put this card together today, as I didn't need to fuss with the detail. I would love to make another with a bit more "Fuss & Fancy" if you know what I mean, but I probably won't get it done in time to enter the challenge again.


Looking forward to the weekend here,

Rachel

Happy and Crazy CTS#107

How are you when it comes to using the Stamp-a-ma-jig? Confident or an absolute novice?
 Sometimes it works for me, but other times it's pretty much a disaster. This year I want to master some new skills and practice is the best way to do that, so I have had a little shot today
at repeat stamping of the word 'happy' using the Stamp-a-ma-jig.

While not totally happy with the result, I'm glad I gave it a try. I used the sketch at Case This Sketch as an inspiration-starter, along with my new stamp set, Crazy About You. This stamp set provides three floral images and 30 individual words or phrases to pair with thinlets. This combo will allow you to say anything you want, for any occasion or time of the year. This card could just have easily been for a birthday, Easter or anniversary.

These are lovely fresh colours too, from our soon-to-retire 2013-2014 In Color Selection. I am going to be awfully sad to see these soft pastels disappear so I will order some more card during SAL-A-Bration, when for every $90 purchase, even demonstrators earn free stamps, paper or embellishments.

You know what else?
I hadn't immediately read in the small print under Crazy About You that the two flower images in the set can be punched out with punches. The smaller one (not shown here) is with the 1¾ inch Scallop Circle Punch, which you probably already own.

This larger flower matches with the NEW Flower Medallion Punch, which also matches up with Petal Potpourri, which has another four large floral images. Then it was easy enough to hand cut a smaller image to layer up, using the white as a guide.

I'm looking forward now to making some more variations of this for a Crazy About You card-making workshop on Friday 13th February at 7pm.


Don't forget to go to Case This Sketch to see the Design Team creations and all the submissions by other crafters.

Happy Birthday Shoes

 I made this card using a retired hostess stamp, Making A Point, which has some great images 'for the ladies', such as shoes, sunglasses, lipstick etc. The paper in the new Occasions Catalogue, Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Stack seemed to be a perfect starting point and I chose this one with cross-hatched love hearts in various shades of red/pink.

I was super-happy to use the Hello You Thinlets AGAIN and the 'birthday' sentiment from Crazy About You. Starburst Framelits cut the red mat while Circle Collection Framelits have so many sizes in circles, one is bound to be perfect!


What was most fun, was stamping out multiple images of the shoe and layering them to give the slightest hint of dimension. The shoe upper is layer two while the bow is the third layer. I curved slightly with a bone folder.



For a glamourous lady, sparkles are a must so Dazzling Details were added to the platform sole and the bow. A rhinestone was added to the bow after I'd taken the photos.


The inside is finished off with more paper from the paper stack and although each sheet is only six inches by four inches, that is a little more than you need for a full card front, so the little strip left over is better used for a trim than binned.

Stamped in Real Red is the Yippee-Skippee sentiment "you can never have too much happy", which is my absolute go-to when using the large 'happy' from the Hello You Thinlets,

Now, I only hope it has survived the mail!

You know that it's that magic time of the year, for Stampin' Up! enthusiasts? That's because there is a new Occasions Catalogue out. You can click here to connect online or you can go straight through to shop 24/7 with only a very moderate $5.95 charged to deliver your order anywhere in Australia.

BUT that's not all.....

If you need so much that you spend $90, you'll be asked to choose one of the SALE-A-BRATION items to add to your order! Would you really prefer to look through your catalogues on paper, so you can post-it note it all the way through? Then you're a girl after my own heart, and I'd be happy to drop one or post it to you.

AND if you love Stampin' Up! so much that you want it all, or as near to it as storage space allows, I'd love to help you join up.

Thanks for dropping by, you can contact me by phone (0417 500 681) or email if you need a Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue or have any questions about how SALE-A-BRATION works, or anything Stampin' Up! related.

Happy Birthday Balloons CCMC336

Lovely "hot" colours to play with at Create With Connie & Mary Challenge#336, and the link is here so you can pop on over and get inspired to pull out your paper and ink too! I'm having a wonderful time hiding in my craft space, away from the heat and working my way through a box of yummy new products from Stampin' Up! The temperature is currently 39°C or 102°F!!!

The Balloon Framelits dies were first to go on my list after the  Occasions Catalogue launch, but I haven't really displayed them at their best here. Then there are so many different stamps in Celebrate Today, the stamp set the Balloon Framelits co-ordinate with, that it's quite hard to make a decision. I've added Real Red spots to the Calypso Coral balloon and a patterned banner in black to the red balloon.

The Hello You Thinlets are gorgeous, four words incuded are happy, you, thanks and hello. I've used happy quite a lot this week, and just started using hello, which was a little more difficult to ease out of the die. Now I've been out and bought dryer sheets and used baking paper in the 'sandwich (couldn't find the recommended wax paper). You need a silicone sheet and Two-way glue pen to get these adhered properly. Hello You Thinlets are bundled with Crazy About You, a stamp set available in wood-mount, clear-mount and photopolymer. I used the birthday sentiment from that stamp set, and it is one of thirty sentiments.


Just these two stamp sets and the matching dies are going to keep me creating for ages.
The DSP is from a paper stack in the Occasions Catalogue called Stacked With Love. They're lovely papers in shades of Calypso Coral, Real Red, Crisp Cantaloupe and black on one side, the reverse are all black and white. Those are the colours for the colour challenge so I'm submitting my effort.

Take care, have fun,

Rachel

Hello Baby Boy CMCC#52

So glad to see colour me! back in business for the new year and celebrating their first birthday too! Its a great challenge because we can  choose any colour scheme we like from the last 51. I only went as far as Challenge #8 - Baked Brown Sugar, Soft Sky and Pistachio Pudding. Perfect for a baby card I think, and I can show one of the new stamp sets from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue. Cheerful Critters is a photopolymer stamp set with three cute, cheerful critters holding up blank signs. There are words to place on those signs but I turned to another new stamp set with matching thinlets.


What do you think of the lovely script for 'Hello'? There are four words in the Hello You Thinlets - happy, you, thanks and hello. The stamp set is Crazy About You and there are 33 stamps in the set, 30 of them are words to start or finish the phrase. The combinations are endless. Oh, and there is a leaf and two flower stamps too.






My neighbour is due to have her first baby at the weekend. We don't know if it is a boy or a girl yet, but there's a very cute bunny in Cheerful Critters which would be perfect for a baby girl.

I have a handy hint to share also. Do you get magnetic calendars from retailers or Real Estate Agents?
I decided to recycle last years calendar by using Fast Fuse on the printed side to glue it into the lid of the stamp set and it is the correct size and perfect for holding these thinlets. I still have the 2015 calendar for my filing cabinet too.

Some of the icons below won't show until the catalogue goes 'live' to the public on 6th January.

Wishing you a wonderful year ahead,
Rachel
