Painted Collage 6" x 8" Scrapbooking Layout

One of the highlights and benefits of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is being invited to exclusive stamping events, especially when they include early release products! Way back in August, I had the opportunity to do just that… a demonstrator-only online event where we crafted with the beautiful Painted Collage Suite. So I have been sitting on this fabulous collection for three months, dying to share it with you. Well, today is the day! Stampin’ Up! has released brand-new Online Exclusive products, and now you can get your hands on this earthy, textural suite…

Who says the elegant All Wrapped Up Suite is only for Christmas? Not me! I’ve given my All Wrapped Up Christmas Card a birthday makeover – same suite, same wrapped-gift design, but a completely different mood. Here’s how I made it…

CURRENT CATALOGUE

How would you love to create your Christmas cards with modern, on-trend colours and themes this year? Then don’t go past the elegant All Wrapped Up Suite! Speaking of trends… did you know that bows are big for Christmas this year? I’ve used the bows from the Elegantly Wrapped Bundle and the fresh, beautiful colours in the All Wrapped Up Specialty Designer Series Paper (both part of the suite) to create this lovely Christmas card…

The international Creativity Abounds Design Team is back with another inspiring collection! Each month, this talented group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world collaborates on a themed tutorial bundle – and this month it’s holiday-themed!

Hello

about me

I am a stay-at-home mum with three adult children and a wonderfully supportive husband.  My creative timeout is stamping, creating and giving handmade greeting cards.  When I was introduced to Stampin' Up!® over fifteen years ago, I quickly fell in love with their high-quality, coordinating products and loved creating with them.  Soon after, I became an Independent Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator and discovered that I also enjoy sharing my paper crafting knowledge with others and inspiring their stamping creativity.

I would love to hear from you.  Don't hesitate to contact me if you want the latest catalogue, need papercraft supplies (we ship nationwide), wish to attend an upcoming event, or want information about joining my team.

No waste here! Not only did I recycle the design principles of the Butterfly Flight Sticky Note Holder, but I also used the discarded hot-foiling from the butterflies for that project with the Reverse Hot Foil Die to create more butterflies for this “thinking of you” card…

Did you see this Sticky Note Holder with its gorgeous gold-foiled butterflies? When I finished, I had the three remaining butterflies from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies, all inked and looking pretty on my crafting table. So I reached for the Basic White Note Cards and created these sweet cards…

This Sticky Note Holder is not only functional, but also beautiful! Imagine this stunning piece sitting on your desk – it would certainly draw attention to your paper crafting, and everyone would want one.

How stunning is the Sunflower Fields Suite?! The coordination between the stamps, dies, and patterned paper is incredible! I’ve used them here on an elegant gatefold card – and look… that wonderful stamped floral bouquet from the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle is a fun but simple closure.
