You've Got A Friend CC#39 Poppy Parade

You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, an independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator based in South Morang, and outer north-eastern part of Melbourne. Thank you for stopping to see my work. I love to stamp (and other crafts too) and have loved being a part of Stampin' Up! for 8 years now. I hold classes in my home studio, demo at parties, coach my team and love life!!! Art With Heart is one of the larger teams in Australia, and it is a great community to be a member of. I'm happy to talk to you about any aspect of the company if you'd like to chat. But now for the business at hand - a colour challenge!

This blog was initiated by Catherine Proctor, a valued member of our Stampin' Up! family, as a way to share the colours in the range, both the old ones and new. Poppy Parade was an In Color when I joined Stampin' Up!, and while it is a nice, bright red, I was still a bit surprised when it made it into the revamp of colours. If you would like to check out what the rest of the team have made using Poppy Parade, click back on Catherine's link, at What Cathy Made.

It was quite easy to feature Poppy Parade with a sheet of paper from Needlepoint Nook DSP as the starting point of my card. Bella and Friends was designed by one of our Million Dollar Sellers, one of the first I believe. It features this very cute dog, which reminds me a lot of my son & daughter-in-law's dog, Ruby. I used a number of the Stampin' Blends to colour the images.

The Circle Tab Punch co-ordinates with Tabs For Everything stamp set, but this time I used a heart punched with the Dog punch, punched from card and then covered with glue from the fine-tip glue pen. I do it when I know I will be leaving the craft room for a while, as it needs time to set. Then it looks just like an embellishment.

The birds are from a Paper Pumpkin pack, and you may ask, "How did you get that in Australia?"

Answer is, I have an American demo friend, who was happy to bring me a few things I wanted when she visited recently. There is a really nice parrot holding a heart, already in Bella And Friends, but I was itching to play with these new stamps.

Nine Lives CTC#217

Welcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. This week the design team are focusing on pages 24-33 of the Occasions catalogue, from which you can order 3rd January - 3rd June 2019.

Being a cat-lover, I was happy to see a new stamp, Nine Lives, which matches the existing Cat Builder Punch and others will be thrilled to see the Dog Builder Punch and co-ordinating stamp set, Happy Tails. Because the Dog punch and stamp have just been introduced in the Occasions Catalogue, there is a special Bundle code, which allows you to purchase them together for a 10% discount. These cards on page 33 of the Occasions catalogue are very cute.

There are lots of stamps in both these stamp sets to individualise your cat or dog, apart from colour.

For my CASE this week I altered the sketch on the left with the dog and cat in 2 different ways. For the Soft Seafoam card I have only one puss, I used a very similar background piece, with a different sentiment. However, no doubt you will notice plenty of differences too. The edging has been stepped up a treat with the fancy foliage border from Wonderful Romance. Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon adds a delightful touch of softness, and the sweet kitty only has eyes for you.

For this version, which is closer to the original, I have used 2 cats and couldn't resist using the new stitched rectangles. It's the Simple Stripes TIEF, you'll find that folder in the Annual catalogue.

Are you wondering how I reversed the cat on the right? With the Stamparatus and a silicone sheet, this technique is amazingly simple. If you'd like to do this in a class or at your party, please request 'Mirror stamping with Stamparatus'. I have 3 Saturday dates in March available for parties if you are within 15km of South Morang and would like your guests and yourself to get some SALE-A-Bration freebies at your party. 31st March is the final day for SAB. I CASEd from page 33, but you can CASE from any where between 24-33 and share it here at our Facebook page. Aren't the catalogues a great source of inspiration?

Now it is time to check the wonderful Rose Packer's project
