LAST VALENTINE'S DAY CARD FOR 2012 - STAMPIN' UP! HEART TREAT CUPS

Valentine's day 2012 has come around so fast this year, i havent had the chance to make as many Valentine's day cards as i would have like and i certainly hadnt a chance to make any with sweet treat cups, so i thought i needed to make my last Valentine's Day Card for 2012 with the Stampin' Up! Heart sweet Treat Cup.

I filled the treat cup with some silver coated chocolate filled hearts and a little pullie heart at the side to release the chocolates.  Of course valentines day always reminds me of chocolates..  So it seemed only fitting that i use Chocolate Chip card stock and accented with Very Vanilla.  Two of Stampin' Up! most popular colours.

BRAYERING YOUR SCRAPBOOK TITLE PAGES WITH STAMPIN' UP! STAMPS, INK AND BRAYER

Recently i wondered how the brayering technique would work on a scrapbooking page.  The above

Scrapbooking title page was made using the Stampin' Up! speedball brayer and 5 different colours of ink : So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Bashful Blue and Marina Mist.

The colours have been layered and applied from different angles,  How cute are the little clouds up in the corner, they were created using the Scallop circle punch, masking and sponging around them.

The wording was created with the Big Shot and the Timeless Type sizzlets, the tree's i used are from the Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree stamp set and the quad bike comes from the stamp set need for speed.

I tried to create the illusion of a typical dry australian summer day,4wd driving through the landscape, using a brayer and stamps.

Above is the 2nd page to this dual page layout,  I sponged Stampin' Up! Cherry Cobbler around the edges of my page which is more mustard  picking up the colours from the photo.  The leaves were made with the Stampin' Up! Big Shot and little leaves sizzlit die.  My favourite new little stamp set called "I dig you".

SCRAPBOOKING WITH STAMPIN UP PUNCHES - SIMPLE ELEGANCE

Scrapbooking is so much easier when you have a great photo to work with and i just love this photo of my daughter, over the past few weeks i have been working on a mini album for my daughter and this is yet another page that i have done that i just absolutely adore.  Using Stampin' Up! punches such as the layer bouquet doily punch and eyelet border punch make accenting this page a breeze and of course the Stampin'' Up! card stock colours such as night of navy and sahara sand colours go together brillantly.

Give this simple layout a try with your favourite photo.

WEDDING CARD IDEAS WITH STAMPIN' UP! GLIMMER PAPER

My son is getting married next weekend and i cased this card and i just had to make it for my son and future daughter in law.  I just love it, the back ground stamp is from the love defined stamp set, the hearts are made from the hearts punch and the white heart is embossed with the lattice textured impressions folder, love the organza ribbon on just about anything that is elegant.  The stamp for the newlyweds comes from teeny tiny sentiments stamp set and of course the matting card layer is embossed with vintage embossing folder.

Thank you susan joyce for sharing your creation.

SCRAPBOOKING YOUR SUMMER HOLIDAY'S WITH STAMPIN' UP! DAFFODIL DELIGHT - JAMBEROO TITLE PAGE

They tell me scrapbooking is about your photos and using up your scraps and i think lately i have showed that embellishing your page with brochures and receipts can be great for journalling your pages, but they also make great title pages for your album without using any photo's in the title.

This is the title page for a new scrapbooking album i am starting specifically dedicated to our family day out at Jamberoo during our summer school holidays.  To celebrate and recognise summer i used really bright colours which are Stampin Up Daffodil delight and Pacific point and accented with Real Red. Which are all colours in our Stampin' Up! brights collection.

As my title page of the album, i used two of the brochures and cut them up, one of them i used to give extra dimension to and pop the image of the brochure.  So my title page for my scrap album has no photo's and embellished with die cut words for journalling and the page is about the brochure. 

Give it a try to tell the story of your journey

BLEACH AND WATER DISTRESSING WITH STAMPIN' UP! AUSTRALIA 2012 SALE A BRATION PRODUCTS - STAMP CLUB PROJECTS

Using two Stampin' Up! Aqua Pens, one filled with water and one filled ordinary household bleach. I used bleach on the Crumb cake card stock and on the paper i used the water aqua pen.  The reason that i used both of these was to create different finishes.   The crumb cake card stock was bleached and gave the card a faded look and also wet it so that it curled up.  The Sale a bration designer series paper was distressed with soft sued ink and then shredded with scissors and brushed with the water aqua pen to curl it up, the wonder of this is that when its wet you are able play with the paper wet and more or less mould it to where you want it or how far curled in you would like it to go. Of course allowing for it to expand out when it dries.

I used the Sale A Bration ribbon and brad bundle to accent and embellish the card and used two of the sale a bration 2012 stamp sets fresh vintage and Elementary elegance. Hope you enjoy it and give it a try

NEW YEAR STAMPIN' UP! CRAFT ROOM CLEAN UP AND INSPIRATION

New Year brings about new things, lol, and one thing that needed to change was the state of my craft studio

and the state of the mess and untidiness of it.  One goal that i set for myself and team was a challenge to clean it up and feel the motivation that comes from plenty of uncluttered room to create. 

So as shamefull as it is, here they are the photo's of a very messy craft studio and be sure and see the lower

photo's of it all cleaned up.  I hope some of my storage ideas might be of inspiration for your craft space.

ALL CLEANED UP AND TIDY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
