I love pattern paper!

Hi Everyone,

I love pattern paper - maybe a bit too much!! I mean, I have quite a bit and still buy more!!

Kylie Bertucci started the #LoveitChopit to help us get over our "fear" of chopping up our beautiful paper.

Her theory is, cut it into card front size and you will use it more and it's now easy to put a quick card together.

So when I get my pack of 12 x 12 pattern paper, I take one of each sheet and do just that!

I slice it down the middle, and then cut into three card fronts. This is slightly larger than a card and just requires a small trim. You could cut more precise if you wanted.

You end up with a stack of fronts!

So quick and easy to put a card together........

So, go ahead, #loveitchopit!!

Trust me, you will use it so much more!

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....

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...
