Stampin' Up! Tag a Box sneak peek, ideas inspired by Brisbane Convention

This is another "Make & Take" new product sample we were given at Convention but my Tag a Box is "completely" changed from the original project. This was actually inspired from a demonstration given by Linda Higgins using vellum and also from another presentation Linda did at the Sydney Heartfelt event last October using White Stazon on window sheets. The "fringed leaves" was another convention inspiration and the "pearly strings" embellishment idea came from one of my customers. Clearly I have a head spinning with ideas now but I think these worked fine together in a mixed up kind of way! The new Tag a Box is a really nice, versatile size too, and "easy as" to assemble! Happily today is a cold, wet and windy Sunday so it's a perfect "crafting" day.....woohooo!.....Sue :)

Stampin' Up! Mixed Bunch - Just Plain Stampin!

Here's a few examples of "just plain stampin" simple and easy as! I've only used two of the three flower designs in the set here and the best part is Stampin' Up! also has a punch to match called the "Blossom" punch. I'm even happier to say they will carry over from the Autumn-Winter mini catalogue which has just finished to the new catty which begins September 1st! This is a very very versatile set which can be used for all ocassions.

The "Retired List" is now up on the Stampin' Up! website and some retiring items from the 2011-2012 Catalogue are selling quickly so Stampin' Up is updating the list regularly as items sell out. Well "out with old and in with the new" and there's lots of nice stuff coming soon, I'm just looking forward to my pre-order to arrive and all the new goodies to play with, Yay! That's it for me for now......cheers Sue

Japanese Doll Punch Art Cards

It's been raining so bad the last couple of days there's no better excuse to stay inside and create! I had been mucking around with some punch art projects for a bit but hadn't gotten to finishing anything but this morning my Stampin' Up! order with some new goodies from the Autumn Winter Mini arrived! I have to say I now have a new favourite stamp - and that would be the filigree style flower which is the background stamping in the card above! Just looove it! It's in the new "Mixed Bunch" stamp set and has a co-ordinating punch that matches this set. I haven't used the punch yet but have been quite happy playing with just this one stamp alone today! I think it's supposed to be pouring with rain again tomorrow but i don't mind! Lol
