Casing some great cards from Splitcoast Stampers

Hi all, well if anyone knows me I sometimes have mental blocks and can't seem to find the inspiration for a card. I always turn to http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ it is an amazing site, and you can choose to view the Gallery and then view just Stampin Up galleries, which is great. I recently made a few cards that I'd like to share. This one I got from the gallery, I unfortunately don't remember the lady's name, I'm so sorry if you see this. I have a tendency to forget names.

This is made with Old Olive card stock, the stamp set is Embrace Life, there is also Rose Red card stock and ink, and the scallop punch was used on the Chocolate Chip. There are a few silver brads to add a bit of flare. The flowers are dimensioned with a glue dot in the middle of each. I love this one, it was the first one I ever did as per the picture.




This card was made with one of my favourite sets called Simply Said, it's been around for a while so I'm hoping it makes it a little longer. The colours are Gardn Green, Real Red, Basic Black, and White card stock. The ribbon on the original one off of splitcoaststampers was white organza, but I don't have any, so I improvised. not a bad little card. The last heart is raised with a glue dot.



This one I took the sketch and created my own take on it. I used the Baroque Motif stamp set, which I absolutely adore. I love it!! The colours are Real Red, and Basic Black. There is also Versa Mark on the 2 inch real red portion. It's very simple, and at first I didn't like it, but thanks to some great feedback from people, I'm appreciating it more.




Just two more to share with you, I do hope you all like it.
I took this one also from split coast stampers. I sure hope people don't mind, but hey I would love it if someone saw them on here, and said wow I think I could make that. The thing is, you can. You can make anything your heart desires. It's art, and it's what you make of it. This one I used a lot of different retired stamp sets. I made it for my friend Rebecca's baby shower. She is due today, so I'm wondering if she's given birth yet. Last one, which is my favourite one so far.


This one I got the idea from Late Blossom's version. I haven't checked out the rest of her gallery, but if this is any indication, I'm sure I'll be using a few more of her ideas. This is a technique called Rock and Roll. I hadn't tried it before, and Alesha has always told me it's super easy, and beautiful. You can see it better with the Summer Sun, and Pumpkin Pie butterfly, not so much with the Rose Red and Red Riding Hood.
The grass is from a set called Inspired by Nature, when I first got it was so excited, but wasn't sure how to use it, so I'm slowing find ways to use it. I'm not doing too bad.
Well, that's the end of my show and tell. I hope you liked it, got inspired, used what you saw today. If you like it and don't know how to recreate you can always contact me.

It's Here!! The new Spring and Summer 2009 Catalogue

Hello everyone,

Can I tell you how excited I am about the new catalogue, of course I can. It's amazing. There are so many new stamp sets, and the designer papers are gorgeous, plus they have something a bit different this year. Curious of what's new? Give me a call to get your hands on one of the new catalogues.

I would love to have all my customers take a look at the catalogue and find one thing they love, and order it, but if you have more than one thing you love even better. If you see something you love, and have questions please contact me here (phone# and email in top right corner). You can also order online if you wish, but the personal touch is better, so give me a call. I'm looking forward to booking some workshops for you to help you get started on your way to a love of scrapbooking and card making.

Plus there is a new Decor Elements that's amazing. If you want a brochure let me know and I'll mail one to you free of charge. If you would like a catalogue for yourself so you can dog ear those pages that you love, or circle what you already have or what you want they are only $10. Call me or email me and we can setup a time to get you one.

Oh, did I mention the Sale-A-Bration? What is it you ask, well just the greatest thing since microwave popcorn. For every $60 you spend you get to pick a free item out of the sale-a-bration brochure, there's no limit to the amount you can get. If you spend $120 you get 2 items, and the possibilities are endless. You can check out the sale-a-bration brochure on the right hand side, the new catalogue will be available soon. I promise.

Looking forward to hearing from all of you. Cheers, and happy scrapping.
