Heather has used this superb colour combination for this card. The layout is really simple but can be adapted to suit any occasion.

Being part of a team of demonstrators is so amazing! Not only did we enjoy Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage event, our wonderful Up line, Sam Hammond, organised a fun packed team event…. A full weekend of sharing creativity!

Part of the fun is “swapping”. I made these simple little packets with a lip balm inside!

Paper was cut to 6 by 5 inches. Tear & Tape was added to both long sides and one short side.

Short sides were brought together first to form a tube. One end was sealed before adding the balm. The open end was then sealed.

The greeting was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink and cut with the Pretty Label Punch.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Making my On Stage Swaps

Hello Everyone,

Today I thought I would share the swaps I made for On Stage attendees on Saturday. I hope you all made use of the contents!

I made 60 of these so they had to be quick and simple.

The treat bags were economical and look lovely as they are but I wanted to add some extra decoration.

This consisted of; a pearlized doily, a length of Polka Dot Tulle ribbon, and an Everyday Label stamped with Memento Ink. The sentiment I chose is from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set.

This was all attached with beautiful gold Library Clips… No glue necessary!

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Daisy Tags

Hello Everyone,

Here’s something different from me today….. For this project I used three fabulous punches.

It took no time at all to make the base of these tags. The rest of the design could be any colour, any sentiment.

For the coloured card, I cut 2 by 4-3/4 inch strips.

I punched the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch.

For the bottom, I used the Detailed Trio Punch. This combines the rounder and the detail designs of the punch, (each corner needed to be punched twice).

The white portions measured 2 by 4 inches. The same punch was used for the top.

The Triple Banner Punch was used for the bottom.

For the stamping, I used second generation ink in matching colours, to add the daisies. Sahara Sand was used for the centres.

The sentiment was taken from the Well Said set and heat embossed in gold.

The two pieces were adhered together with snail. The top was ever so slightly off set to reveal some of the base colour.

The tags were finished with Polka Dot Tulle ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Team Retreat Swaps – Part 1

Hi Everyone,

I had an amazing weekend crafting with my Stampin’ Sisters at our annual team retreat. We had some marvellous make & takes too which I will be sharing soon.

Part of the fun is making “swaps”; little gifts we exchange to share creative inspiration.

This was my swap… I made 50 in total, 10 each in the five 2018 In Colours. They hold these cute little bubbles.

I don’t make many 3D projects, so these needed to be simple.

Start with a 1-1/2 inch strip of card stock cut from the short edge of an A4 sheet.

Score the strip on the long side at

4-3/4
5-3/8
7-1/8
7-3/4

For those using 8-1/2 by 11 card stock, the scoring will still work, but will create a larger piece at the end for gluing.

Fold and burnish the score lines.

Cut a 4-3/4 by 1-1/2 inch piece of coordinating In Colour DSP and adhere this to the end of the card stock. Use the Tag Topper punch to shape the end.

Flip over the card stock strip and add more DSP to the 1-3/4 by 1-1/2 section.

Punch 1/2 inch holes in the last but one section of the strip.

Fold the card stock and glue in to place.

I used a sentiment from Wood Words and punched this out.

Don’t they look great all together like this!

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.
