Flight of the Butterfly - Card

Flight of the butterfly looks wonderful with this lovely Bella Rose Designer Series Paper. Definitely the recipe for some quick and simple cards the Butterfly Punch and Beautiful Papers. I have also used the Riding hood Red taffeta Ribbon on this Card which co-ordinates perfectly with the Riding hood Red Card stock and Ink. This has to be one of the best features of the wonderful Stamping Up colours available, Everything co-ordinates. Ink, Card, Ribbon, Designer Series papers and all accessories.

New Feature Flight of the Butterfly

How excited was I when Stampin Up released the News that the the wonderful Butterfly Punch is staying...This was just wonderful and meant how could I resist buying this wonderful Stamp Set Flight of the Butterfly. Simply Stamp, Punch and your ready to go.
I have had so many photo's to Scrapbook lately so will have a few extras thrown into the posts over the next couple of week.
I had a quick page to scrap book to show off the wonderful Flight of the Butterfly Set, Be sure to watch this week as on the 29th of April I will be show casing some wonderful Big Shot Mothers Day Gifts using Flight of the Butterfly, this will be part of a Blog Hop I am participating in. I have attached the butterflys with a little glue from the 2 way Glue Pen and raised there wings to give the impression the are flying. They all have a little 1/2 pearl in the body of each butterfly around my large Glorious Green circle.

Customer Creations- Water Colouring using Ink Refills

For all the ladies that came to the HOT OFF THE PRESS Release Party for the New Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue, I taught you how to use the ink refills to colour. I have had 2 very talented ladies share there creations with me and wanted to show you how changing the colours can really change the impact.

The Beautiful Blue rose was created by Pam using Tempting Turquoise and Green Galore. The Orchid Style Flowers are by Leanne and coloured using Summer Sun and pink Passion Ink Refills. A wonderful and Fun technique giving another use to something we have sitting in out "Stash".

I am more than happy to teach this to anyone wanting to learn this Fun technique.

Sock Monkey- Little Notelets and Scallop Envelope Bag

How cute is this little bag with matching little note cards. Made using the Big Shot Scallop Envelope Die, it is so quick and simple you can make them in no time.

The very cute coordinating note cards measuring 3 x3" each is a great way to use all those little bits you have left after making other cards and Scrap booking pages, This little bag will hold 6 notecards I have made 2 of each design. These are just perfect to use as a Gift tag or Wonderful for children to give to their friends.

I will be co-ordinating a Big Shot Class in Newcastle during May to provide you lots of Information on- What you can do and how to do it with your Big shot.. Watch for more information.

Autumn Winter Mini Party Fun

I just wanted to make a quick post and share with you some of the most amazing fun we all had at the Hot off the Press Release Parties in both QLD and Newcastle. Everyone had lots of Fun and there was some amazing techniques taught and learnt. You are all very clever at Water colouring with Ink refills and who would have thought those little bottles of ink had so many uses!!
My QLD, girls helped celebrate in style with Cupcakes everywhere; to Eat, table clothes and cards... My Newcastle Girls had a fabulous time learning new techniques and conquering the Big shot. (A must on every ones wish lists at the moment).
If you would like to join in the Future fun please do not hesitate to contact me, everyone is made to feel welcome and special.

I made 20 of these cupcakes and after piping each and everyone I was very happy with the end result and word had it, "They were Good"...

Thank you to everyone who came and I Look forward to seeing you all soon.

Sock Monkey - Scrapbooking Page

This double page was one of those challenges I set my self and later thought , what was I thinking....Trying to fit 20 photo's onto 1 double page was never going to be easy. But I must, although I definitely have photo over load I love the way these pages came together.

The little Sock Monkey really makes you smile when you see these photo's and that's exactly how I wanted this page to be portrayed. The letters Party have been Stamped and cut out using the Outline Alphabet Stamp Set.

Sock Monkey - Birthday Card

The kids are back to school, and the never ending pickups and drop offs have begun again, but I am back into the swing of some free Stamping time and I have missed that lately. I made this lovely Sock monkey Card for a Little friend of the family and she just loved it.

Using the Riding Hood Red Designer Series Paper I have stamped and cut out the Balloons. Sock Monkey is so versatile for Boys and Girls Cards, watch as I have more exciting projects over the next few days.

New Feature - Sock Monkey

This weeks Feature Stamp Set comes from the Main Catalogue and is a set I purchased especially to use on Harry Photo's so thought I better dig it out. Over the coming week you will see Scrap booking pages, cards and lots of special projects made with the Sock Monkey Stamp Set. He comes with lots of wonderful little accessories suitable for all occasions.

Salvation Army Charity Bike Ride-Thank You

Many of you would know Robert and Jacob were participating in the Salvaltion Army Winter appeal Charity ride and what a Fantastic time they had. I asked for donations of tinned food to be brought along to the Newcastle Mini Release party and you were all so generous. The boys had a big Stampin Up box full of Tinned foods to take in to the drop off zone in Newcastle. I wanted to share the pictures I took of them but promise I will have them scrapbooked for all to see as soon as the kids are back to school..

.

Thank you again to EVERYONE who donated a tin or 10 and I Know that these donations have gone to a wonderful cause.

Vintage Vogue - Scrapbook Page

It is such a lovely change to be able to play with something girlie when scrap booking. 4 boys makes for lots of Blue's, green's and mud pages.
I have been playing with Vintage Vogue set again this week and love how this page has turned out using the greenery stamp as a background. Just like making your own Printed paper only you get to choose the colour and where the design goes.
I have also used my Big shot to emboss the Perfect plum with the Polka Dot embossing Folder.

Vintage Vogue - Friends Card

I have had lots of Fun playing with the New Vintage Vogue Stamp Set featured in the new Autumn Winter Mini and thought it would look perfect with this beautiful Pansy. Can you believe this Pansy is made using a Punch just so simple and very effective.

New Feature for the Week - Vintage Vogue

I will re-start our feature of the week now we have completed the End of Sale-A-Bration and I am sure we are all recovered from the Easter break. This weeks Feature Set will be Vintage Vogue Stamp Set and I have purchased this in Clear Mount. It is fantastic to use and very space saving but the same excellent quality. Vintage Vogue is a Beautiful set making wonderful Girlie pages and looks wonderful for all those Special occasions.
I have used it to make this co-ordinating Mothers Day Card and Pillow Box, cut using the Pillow Die and the Big Shot. This very cute little Pillow box will be used as a Mothers Day packaging with some very special little Pandora Beads in it. I am loving the New Rich Razzleberry In colour and I am sure many of you would have been pleased to see it included in the New colour renovation for 2010-2011.

Wood V's Clear Mount Stamps

I wanted to share this really Quick comparison of the wood v' Clear Mount Stamps.

I know its all well and good to read about how they look and how wonderfully Space saving they are, but I am sure you will all appreciate being able to see what I am talking about and how lovely it really is.

You will see from the picture that The wood Mounted is exactly the same as what you have always previously received.

The Clear mounted has been mounted onto Block C and is very easily positionable around other images as you can see where you have been stamping through the Clear Block. The Rubber Image (Uses the exact same High Quality Rubber as used on the Wood mounted stamps) Is easily removed to and from the Clear block as it is "Static Clung" onto the block.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more information regarding the new Clear Mount Stamps or any other Stampin Up product.

Big Shot - Die Cutting and Embossing Machine Product Information

I was so excited to hear that Australia was receiving the Big shot and Stampin Up has partnered with them to Release here and NOW. The lists of opportunities and possibilities are endless and you really can't go with out the Big Shot if your looking to make your Scrap booking and card making life easier.

I thought I would share with you some wonderful Information to make you more informed on the absolutely wonderful Big Shot Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. Please Remember I have some wonderful promotions available on the Big Shot for you all. See below.

Big Shot Features:-

1. What is the Big Shot?

The Big Shot is a manual die-cutting system that you can use for a number of projects and crafts. The simplicity of the Big Shot makes it a great addition to any one's crafting hobby.

2. How does the Big Shot work?

The Big Shot cuts out images by passing card stock and other materials through rollers that utilize pressure to cut through the materials. With just a couple turns of the handle, you'll be able to cut through a wide variety of materials. The Big Shot also comes with special cutting pads and a cutting platform that not only make the Big Shot safer and easier to use, but also lengthen the life of the product.

3. I have dies from other companies; can I use them with the Big Shot?

Yes, you can. The Big Shot is the most versatile die-cutting machine on the market today. Using the multi-purpose platform, you can use dies, embossing plates, and other products from a wide variety of sources.

4. I've heard that you can run multiple sheets of card stock through the Big Shot at the same time. How many can I run through at once?

Using the steel-ruled dies, you can run multiple sheets of card stock through the Big Shot. The number of sheets depends on the die being used. Simple shape dies--dies that do not have perforation or scoring--can cut through up to eight sheets of card stock at once. Dies that feature perforation or scoring or that are more detailed may not produce the exact cuts when cutting multiples. You'll want to experiment and see how many sheets you are comfortable passing through the Big Shot at once to get the desired effect. Chemically-etched dies should only be used to cut one sheet of card stock or paper at a time.

5. Is the Big Shot exclusive to Stampin' Up!?

No, the Big Shot machine is not exclusive to Stampin' Up! However, the Big Shot produced for Stampin' Up! features a handle color as well as a beautiful logo that are not available on any other version of the Big Shot. In addition to the hundreds of dies already available through Sizzix, we've created dies exclusive to Stampin' Up! And, as we continue to develop this product line, you'll see more and more Stampin' Up! exclusive dies.
Working with Sizzix is a benefit for you as a demonstrator. Because many people are already familiar with the Big Shot, they may already be interested in purchasing it--especially when you show them the exclusive dies and the beautiful projects that you can create using the Big Shot. Customers will also appreciate the hands-on training that you can provide them that they won't receive such great, personalized help in a retail environment.

6. Who is Sizzix?

Sizzix is a brand owned and operated by Ellison, Inc. Since 1977, Ellison has manufactured and distributed professional die-cutting machines and dies largely for the crafting and educational fields. Recognizing the potential of die-cutting machines in the scrap booking and paper-crafting industries, Ellison developed the Sizzix machine for home use. At the same time, Ellison launched the Sizzix brand. Known for innovation, product development, and commitment to high quality, Sizzix is the perfect partner to bring die cutting to Stampin' Up!'s demonstrators and their customers.

7. Who do I contact if I have problems with the Big Shot?

If you should have any problems with the Big Shot, contact me directly I will only be to pleased to help you.

BigShot Specials:

Receive the following as a Special promotional Price.
*Bigshot $160.00 pg 7 New mini.

Or Purchase as a Bundle and SAVE, SAVE, SAVE.

*Big Shot + Scallop Circle + Manhattan Textured Embossing Folder. RRP: $244.80

I will have lots more samples posted over coming weeks as I navigate my way around my Big Shot and make some very special projects.

Big Shot - Birthday Fancy Favour

They were cut using the Big Shot. I wonder where was I with out it... I have cut them in acetate so you could see the little Sponge Bob lollies. Very quick and Very effective. Haw many other uses could you find for this Fancy Favour box...Hundreds I am sure.

Set of Vintage Vogue
8 W 119191 $40.95 AU
C 118598 $30.95 AU

Many of you have had questions regarding the explanation and pricing difference. I will try to make this as simplistic to understand as possible but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

W = Wood Mount as we previously had available. You will pay $40.95 and receive your Stamp Set in a Clear Box with a set of wooden blocks, rubber for stamping and a sheet of Stickers so you can see the image you are stamping.

C = Clear Mount are New to Stampin Up in 2010 but have previously been available by other companies. You Pay $30.95 and you will receive your Rubber images in the same High Quality as previously purchased. They will arrive to you in a DVD style case which allows you to store them neatly and space saving. You will need to purchase a Clear mount Block or 2 that co-ordinates with the Stamp Set you have purchased. The Vintage vogue stamp set works best with the Block C and Block I. All blocks are completely re-usable and will last you a lifetime. The Rubber Image static Clings to the Acrylic Block allowing you to see where you are stamping, wonderful for lining up words and fitting images around each other(see photo above.)

I was previously converted to solely use Wood mount but the introduction of the NEW Clear Blocks by Stamp Up makes stamping so much easier and takes up so little room.
