ANNUAL CATALOGUE LAUNCH DAY

Hi and thanks for visiting my blog today . Today was my launch day of the Annual Catalogue ! There was giggling and much laughter as many games were played . I welcomed my gorgeous ex downline Margie Laidlaw back into my home with open arms ! It was so lovely to catch up with her and to see my other ladies enjoying her sweet company. She is such a gem!
There were two make n takes today , a book mark , where everyone chose their favourite new in colour and a card using the new Sea of Textures stamp set , simply stamped and layered , cased from the On Stage samples on Pinterest , If this is your card please let me know so I can edit my blog to give credit . The pretty bookmark was cased from Janas paper dreams .

Thank you so much Pam Jorgensen and Cheryl O'Bree for the inspiration to create these decorated bags and the gorgeous tissue box holders which my lovely up line Rhonda Laity very kindly came and made for me because she could see I was swamped ! How lucky and blessed I feel to have and have had such wonderful kind and generous downlines ! I thank you from the bottom of my heart Rhonda xx

A sample of some of the cards I created

Anyone placing a $50 or more order received a colour coach made by me ! These are gold they took so long to make and will be a great tool for all of my ladies !

There were many prizes taken home , new ink pads were really sought after , no one had any of those !
Margaret Laidlaw won the lucky door prize , Gayle Zanker the scavenger hunt and Sharron Freeman won the jumbled words game . There were many other small prizes too may to mention ! Fun !
Until next time , keep loving what you do and sharing what you love xx

ESAD 2018 RETIREMENT LIST BLOG HOP

Hello and welcome to the ESAD Retirement List Blog Hop organised by the wonderful Lou Kitzelman ! I was lucky enough to bump into Lou in Sydney a couple of weeks ago for On Stage , our SU training day ! That's one of the best things about attending On Stage , meeting up with fellow demonstrators !
I am excited to share with you two cards I created using the super cute Sweet Little Something stamp set soon to retire from the occasions catalogue .
I decided I'd create a card using a different fold and my first card is a simple fold . just fold your card stock in half as you normally would , then fold the front back on itself in half again ! I love how this is so quick and easy and no measurements are required !
I used my stamparatus for the 3 step stamping of the bunny !

I used an easel card style for my blue bunny ! I love this set and will be sad to see it leave .

i am really sad that Charming Cafe is set to ask retire as it has been one of my all time favs ! I used the Tarnished Foil technique to create this card and will have a tutorial for this technique after next weeks classes so stay tuned ! These are tri fold cards but you can use this set as a standard card as well .

I love how on can create a totally different look just by changing papers or techniques !

Now ts time to see what Megan Lenske has created for us ! There is a list of participants in case you get lost along the way after the next arrow .

BLACK ICE TECHNIQUE CLASS

Hi and thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today .
Last week 10 ladies joined me to learn the Black Ice technique . Here is the card we created in class I thin you may have seen it before in a previous post .

I love this technique discovered by Melissa Kerman . In brief you swipe an Archival Black ink pad down your foil piece , turn and swipe again use only the tip of the pad so as not to get the foil too inky . Do the same to your piece of Crumb Cake matt . Stamp your image and sentiment and heat set . Then using the same swiping technique , very carefully add versa mark to the foil piece in the same manner and then cover in clear embossing powder. If you have the versa mark pad too flat you will cover your foil in ink and the whole piece will be shiny and flat , this is NOT what you are trying to achieve but it happened with a couple of my ladies , if you get too much ink and powder on , just use a paint brush and remove some , you only want streaks of clear embossing to give the effect of ice .

Next up was a double joy fold card using Sweet little Something to create a baby card . As Gail pointed out this was a very easy card to create because all the cutting up and scoring was already prepped so it was basically just stamping the image and sentiment and we were done ! We used the stamparatus which made the 3 step stamping so much easier ! Isn't he just too super cute !
I found a tutorial for the double joy fold card here, thank you Amanda Bates at the Craft Spa .

The last card was super easy and there were two styles . These cards used the gorgeous Picture Perfect Party DSP , retiring soon so be sure to grab your pack !

That's all I have to share with you today but if you live in the Kerang and surrounding area and would like to learn the Tarnished Foil technique that' s up next in our May class so be sure to book your space ! The Thursday evening spot is proving to be very popular and is booked out , there are spaces left for the afternoon session and also one space left in the Saturday afternoon class . If interested you can book in on my SU website here for times and dates .
