Friends Never Fade

I love the colour combination of Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss introduced to me by Jacque Pedersen quite a while back now.  Here it is with two of the four stamps in the set 'Friends Never Fade' from the new Stampin' Up Ideas Book & Catalogue due for release on 1st September.

We have eagerly awaited the new IB&C for what seems a long time now, but you won't be disappointed - it is delicious!  My Demonstrator copy is dog-eared already.  I cannot wait to order some new goodies.

Goodies used here all by Stampin' Up, except the ribbon from my stash. I sneeked in a stamp from 'Pocket Silhouettes' on the Curly Label Punch tag, cut out the flower and used Dimensionals, distressed some of the card edges and added Blue Bayou ink.

Happy Moments



I love the colour combination Lyn used in this CASE of Paula Dobsons masculine card.  She started with the button and chose the Stampin' Up colours to go with it.  I must try that technique.  Well done Lyn.

Pocket Silouettes




I think Pocket Silhouettes is probably one of the most versatile Stampin' Up stamp sets in my collection, and one I will never part with.




Here are two cards made by Val, one of the 3Gs - Gorgeous Girls Group [there are three of us!]


All products used in the second card are by Stampin' Up with very effective use of the Scallop and Square punches.

I love the simple elegance of this card made by Lyn.








The clean, crisp colours make it an ideal wedding card.

Stepper Card


This is one of Val McGunnigle's creations.  I love the combination of colours using Stampin' Up Cardstock, Stamp, Designer Series Paper and Scallop Punch together with other bits and pieces from her stash.


I am having another get-together with my stamping friends tomorrow, so please have a peak during the next few days to see what we have been up to.

Follow Your Heart

I really love the words and layout of the six sentiments in the Sale-A-Bration stamp set 'Whimsical Words'.

The colour combination for this card is Ballet Blue, Old Olive & Whisper White.

The bird is overstamped with Ballet Blue ink and one of the 'Circle Circus' stamps.

The background is first stamped off on scratch paper using Ballet Blue again with one of the 'Vintage Vogue' flower stamps. The 'stamping off ' technique gives a soft, subtle background. All products used are by Stampin' Up.

This is a Barb Mullikin CASE. She did a CASE from the, soon to be our's, new Ideas Book & Catalogue. Keep a look out for it. Not long to wait now.

About Time Too

This month I signed up to become a Stampin' Up Demonstrator!

I have loved the Stampin' Up products ever since the company came to New Zealand in April 2007, and I got my crafty little mitts on an Idea Book & Catalogue from Jacque Pedersen.

So, after a long absence from blogging, I am back with a card I made at a get-together with my friends Val and Lyn. A couple of times a month we each present a project idea and do a lot of chatting while we work. I great way to spend an afternoon.

Here I used:

Stampin' Up Mellow Moss cardstock for the card Base
Soft Sky, Not Quite Navy & Whisper White for the front
Background stamped off with a stamp from the set 'Embrace Life'
The birds and branches are made with the Stampin' Up Extra-Large Two-Step Bird Punch.

Tune in soon for some more of our 'Stamp & Chat'
