Beautiful You



What a great name for this stamp set -  Beautiful You!

Two sets in one as well!!

It has a vintage, nostalgic touch to it that fits many occasions. Reminds me a free spirited friend that I used to work with that could carry off a modern vintage look so well.


The sentiments are lovely too especially with that mix of font.
There are two stamps that look like a scribble, but, in fact, are the dress and the skirt.  This free form gives it a lovely fluid, water coloured look - made easy peasy !!



Instead of using the "scribble" I decided to stamp and cut out the dresses.

The red dress paper had a pattern that actually made it look like a brocade fabric, making it very vogue looking!

The yellow dress was inspired by my friend.  I could see her in this dress, doing this pose, singing this sentiment as her mantra. 

To bring out the sunny yellow, I sponged a border that would sneak out from under the image.  I did this by lightly marking the border of the image panel and then cutting a template smaller than the image panel and set about sponging from the edge of the small template to beyond the markings.

I think I'll send this to my friend - it is so her!

Kylie's Demonstrator training February Blog Hop.

Thank you for joining us for our Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month! We are all part of a training program that has the sole purpose of improving our Stampin' Up!® businesses and to learn from a variety of top Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. Please be sure to 'HOP' all of the way around to all of the projects on this Blog Hop, there is a list at the bottom of the page that will help you to make your way around. Today I wanted to challenge myself to try something a  bit different by showing the versatility of any stamp set - even if it only has a few images - and do three cards  with either different techniques or use the stamp in a different way.  Maybe even look at the stamps in the set and see what else I can do with them. I thought this would be a good way to show someone, that may be interested in a particular set, or trying to decide, or thinking a particular set didn't do very much, to think again and see the possibilities....

Kylie's Demonstrator training blog hop.

Welcome! Thank you for joining us for our Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month!

What a great way to get ideas on all the amazing new product than with a card swap! Organised by one of the Crazy Crafters, Nicole, we had to create a card front using anything from the new Occasions Catalogue or Sale-a-bration products - those are the freebies you get for every $AU90 you spend - and that is soooo easy to do once you see what's  inside the new catalogue! As the name says, there are new designs for all those upcoming occasions - Valentine's, Easter, Mother's  Day,  and almost anything ...

Crazy Crafters blog hop with Dena Rekow

This week we are hopping with Dena Rekow and using her blog  http:// www.thecreativitycave.com/  as inspiration. I spent so long looking through Dena's blog - not because I couldn't find anything, but because I loved so much! In the end I decided to use this card as my inspiration.  I loved the simplicity and the depth created with the different green ink colours used. And here is the card I created. I used the open leaf from Healing Hugs stamp set and stamped it in the colours  Pineapple Punch, Mango Melody, Poppy Parade and Lemon Lime Twist - such a juicy fruit mix of colours!   I wanted the colours to be uplifting for the sentiment that I used from the Friendly Expressions stamp set.  I embossed the background with the Lovely Floral embossing folder to give added dimension and then mounted the embossed and stamped panels on Pineapple Punch. I cut around the sentiment and layered it with dimensionals. A...
