Happy birthday Sister!

With my sister living overseas, I like to send her a special card to let her know I am thinking of her, on her birthday.

Yes, I could message her or pick up the phone - both of which I do, but the card is like a little present really.

I always make it a one off - just for her.

I was thinking rustic glam for this one.

I am in love with the Wood Textures Designer series paper ( DSP) Stack. So many different textures to choose from and each 6 x 6 sheet is double sided - what value!!

This would be my rustic.

The flowers from the Whole Lot of Lovely DSP would add the feminine touch.

And gold would add the Glam!!

I set about fussy cutting ( yes, again!) some lovely orange blooms to use, picked out my wood finish and die cut Happy Birthday in gold.

Here's how it turned out!!!

Added some blooms inside too.

Think I achieved Rustic glam with this one?

Hope she likes it. Will have to wait a couple of days and see!

You can get all of this from my store if you like what you see and would like to give it a go!

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....

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...
