Dear Crafters,
Happy Boxing Day!
Are you hitting the Boxing Day sales in town or are you staying clear of them like me, and enjoying the peace and quiet at home, stamping?!!!
Today I have a cute shaker card using the new Occasions and Sale-a-bration products available from 4th January!
I think this stamp set Hey, Chick is going to be very popular! These funny little chickens just make me smile 🙂
I love a good shaker card too, so I added some brown rice inside my shaker card. It just reminds me of chicken food lol.
To create the background, I added ink to the embossing folder before running it through the Big Shot. This gives the effect of chicken wire!
I coloured the chickens with our new Watercolour Pencils and used a Blender Pen to blend the colour. You will be totally amazed at how well it works on Whisper White card, Shimmery White card and even better, the Watercolour Paper!
And don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card too!
This stamp set can be yours FREE with any $90 order.

Dear Crafters,
Today I share another sneak peek of the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle, but this time using the emboss resist technique.
I love how simple but effective this technique is!
Begin by stamping the images in Versamark ink, then add clear embossing powder and heat set.
Using the AquaPainter and ink, brush on the colour blending the two together in the centre. I’ve used Calypso Coral and Marina Mist.
To get those dots, I dropped tiny amounts of water from the AquaPainter, let it sit for a minute or two, then dabbed off with some paper towel. This lifts the colour already added.
I also added a vellum dragonfly and some pearls to the body.

Dear Crafters,
I have a different type of card today that can also be used as a gift. It has a card on the top and a little pull out box underneath to place a gift!
I have used the Birthday Blooms stamp set and the water colouring technique. Yes, I know, I have a long way to go with my water colouring, but hey, I had a go!
I also didn’t have any water colour paper, so I used the Shimmery White card stock, so maybe that didn’t help.
The ink colours I have used with my Aqua Painter were: Melon Mambo, Real Red, Pink Pirouette, Delightful Dijon, Dapper Denim, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green!
Oh and here is another one I made with the gorgeous Rudolf on the front!
What do you think of today’s card? Why don’t you give water colouring a go!

Dear Crafters,
With this slightly warmer weather starting to appear in Melbourne, we are getting back into eating some yummy fruits, including the pineapple!
So today’s card is all about pineapples, but it is created with my favourite Christmas Pines Bundle!
My 7 year old saw this stamp set and instead of thinking of pine cones, she suggested I make some pineapples. What a great idea!
Then I happened to be browsing Pinterest (as you do lol) and I came across a card with this idea and I had to make it straight away. It was by a lady called Kim Jolley, from Missouri and you can see her card here.
How cool is the background? I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp, inked it up and then spritzed it before stamping!
I was super happy with the outcome. What do you think of this card?

Dear Crafters,
Tell me, who doesn’t love flowers? said no one ever!
Today’s card uses the Hostess Set, Basket For You. I have to admit, I didn’t really look twice at this set until I saw a card by one of my downline, Kimberly, who made a stunning card with this set.
I started by embossing the Flirty Flamingo card with the Petal Burst Textured Impression Embossing folder. Next I stamped the basket image and coloured it with the new 2016-2018 Stampin’ Write Markers and the basket was watercoloured using the Aquapainter.
I used the oval framelits for the main image (and paper pierced the edge) and deco label framelits to die cut the Peach behind it. These were adhered with dimensionals. The sentiment was cut out with paper snips!
I even stamped a small flower on the inside of the card and on the envelope (which I forgot to put in the photo!) oops.
Stamps: Basket For You
Inks: Basic Black, Flirty Flamingo, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
Card/Paper: Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Whisper White
Accessories: Oval Framelits, 2016-2018 In Color Stampin Write Markers, Paper Piercing Tool, Tombo Multipurpose Glue, Aqua-Painter, Stampin’ Scrub, Dimensionals, Petal Burst TIEF, Big Shot, Paper Snips, Deco Labels Framelits (Retired)

Dear Crafters,
Today I share another card using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the coordinating Rose Garden thinlits!
This watercolouring technique is very easy and effective. The image is stamped with Veramark ink onto Watercolour paper and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then using an Aqua painter, coloured with inks.
Once dry, I fussy cut the image out and added it to the brick wall background with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I think it is lovely for a sympathy card.

Dear Crafters,
Today I share a card using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the coordinating Rose Garden thinlits!
This is such a gorgeous stamp set and who doesn’t love roses?
So here is my card!
The technique used to create this card is called the white wash technique. Simply, the image is stamped and embossed with white embossing powder, then a white wash applied to the image with an Aquapainter and then coloured using the Aquapainter and inks. There are many tutorials on YouTube and Pinterest if you would like to have a go!
Once I coloured the image using rose red ink, I added some Wink of Stella ~ how gorgeous and sparkly does that look?!!!! Oh I love some sparkle!!! lol

Dear Crafters,
Well, we come to the end of another year. Personally I am glad it is over, even though it went so fast, but it was not one of my best years with a broken ankle and many deaths in the family. Here’s hoping that 2016 will be much brighter and happier xxx
I love new products and today is no exception. As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, we have early access to brand new products from the Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-bration brochure which go live on 5th January 2016! Here is a project using the Beautiful Ride stamp set.
I thought this was a perfect card as our Journey Begins leading into a brand new year of 2016!
I stamped the images onto watercolour paper with Memento black ink and used the Aqua Painter brush and inkpads to colour.
Colours I’ve used are: Marina Mist, Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate and Tangelo Twist.
How cute is the little puppy looking out the window?!!!
Many years ago, the Volkswagon Beetle was my first ever car and when I saw this stamp set in the catalogue, I knew I just had to have it!
I would like to end by wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and crafty 2016!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
