Freshly Brewed Projects with the Latte Girls

Saleabration – Last Hurrah

With just two weeks left of Saleabration it’s time to get those orders in and get the Saleabration products for free you’ve been wanting.

One of the new offerings with Saleabration is the gorgeous Painted Seasons Bundle.

This bundle is gorgeous. The stamps are Distinktive Stamps which means they’ve been developed from a photograph and like quite real. They also stamp perfectly every time!

I had a Saleabration Stamp Camp on the weekend and we used this Bundle in our projects. I’ve got this sweet pocket card for you today …

My card on the right is the one we made in class and the card on the left is what I made in this morning’s Facebook Live Video …

As you can see they are quick and super easy to make. Pocket cards are the perfect way to also give a gift card.

Here’s a slideshow and close up of the the cards made …

These really are lots of fun to make and I’d love to show you and your friends how. Simply book a party by the end of March and I’ll bring everything we need to make one of these sweet cards for free!

Let’s go hopping …

Now it’s time to hop around and see what the other Latte Girls have made for you today …

I do hope you enjoyed the projects included in today’s Blog Hop. Leave a comment for the girls and let them know you stopped by.

Thanks so much for stopping by and see you latte …

Butterfly Beauty

19 March, 2019

Leave a comment

Good Afternoon! It’s been another fun Tuesday here. First was my Technique Club with the ladies, then I enjoyed watching my friend Jamie craft Live on Facebook from California. Now I have a card for you using the lovely Butterfly Beauty Thinlits.

Butterfly Beauty

I love the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits. It’s one of those must have items … especially if you like Butterflies. This Die set is a wonderful set to have and as is great value as it contains 20 dies.

The two larger dies while designed to overlay each other can also be used on their own or layered and divided as I’ve done.

I cut the two larger dies from Shimmery White Cardstock and adhered them together. I used the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets when cutting out the top layer so it was easy to stick them together. The Sponge daubers came in handy when colouring the butterflies and allowed me to blend the colours easily.

To give my card depth I stamped the butterfly duo stamp from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set in Powder Pink as if they were fluttering up the card.

My sentiment comes from the Well Said Bundle and was perfect for this card. I wanted something short and sweet so my Butterflies remained the focus of the card.

Well Said Birthday

17 March, 2019

Leave a comment

Good Afternoon … bit dreary here today but grateful for the rain! Today’s card is my Well Said Birthday card and another from my Well Said Class last week and also uses the Waterfront Stamp Set.

Well Said Birthday

We had so much fun last week creating with this sweet bundle. While most of the cards were girlie or feminine I wanted to make a masculine one as well. One of my go-to Stamp Sets for masculine cards is the wonderful Waterfront Stamp Set.

With all the elements and sayings in the Waterfront set you can make many different cards and projects.

To make my panel I stamped the trees first in Basic Gray – this made it easy to know where to place my mountains. The mountains were then stamped in Smokey Slate. I kept stamping the same stamp until I got the ‘range’ I was looking for.

I took the circle stamp and stamped in Smokey Slate but twisted the stamp before lifting it from the cardstock to give the moon definition. The happy was also stamped in Smokey Slate. Birthday is cut in Basic Black using the Well Written Thinlit Dies. I’ve also used the scalloped edgelit from the Be Mine Framelits pack to sit behind my panel.

You Can Make It

Have you seen all the You Can Make It bundles in the Catalogues? They are a set of products all bundled up with one code & price. Perfectly coordinated for you to open and play as soon as you get it. There’s one that includes the Waterfront Stamp Set …

This Bundle comes complete with Acrylic Block, Stamp Pads, Notecards and Envelopes and Twine to complete your cards. There’s even some card samples in the catalogue for you to copy!

The Bundle is perfectly priced for you to also earn a free Saleabration item as well!

Contact me today to place your order and dont forget to select your free Saleabration item! See all the Level 1 Saleabration rewards here!

Freshly Brewed – Well Said

13 March, 2019

1 Comment

Good Afternoon and thanks for stopping by! Today we have another Freshly Brewed Projects with the Latte Girls Blog hop for you to enjoy. This week we are sharing projects using the Well Said Bundle

Well Said

When you first see this Bundle in the Occasions Catalogue you may falter at the price. Trust me when I say you are getting your money’s worth! Well you would want to when the bundle (which is discounted by 10%) is $132.25!

Let’s have a look at this bundle. It includes …

so many stamps it needs two cases! Actually you get 51 stamps in that stamp set – something for every occasion and every one!
the dies also come on two sheets. You’ll get 24 different dies including words/sentiments and images.

In all you will receive 75 pieces in this bundle – that’s less than $1.80 per item in the bundle! Now I challenge you to purchase any stamp or die at that price and get the quality and service that Stampin’ Up! provides.

Here’s what I have created for you today using this awesome bundle …

How sweet is this card? I originally made this card for my hubby for our Anniversary early in the month. I opted to give him a more masculine card but this one was loved by all in class. It’s quick, easy and fun to make and not sure if you noticed – but there’s no stamping on this card! It’s more like a ‘say it with die cuts’ sorta card!

I cut out two sets of branches and cut one stem off to create my bunch of leaves. You may notice there’s only one bird die yet my tweeters are facing each other? Just flip one over and flatten it out with your bone folder!

What a perfectly tweet way to tell someone you love them dont you think?

Let’s go hopping with the Latte Girls …

Oh how sweet were those projects? Thanks for joining us today on the Blog Hop!

Saleabration continues …

Wait!! There’s more with Saleabration ..

You could also include it in your Saleabration Starter Kit and add products to total $315 and pay just $169 – or add the Craft n Carry Tote bag and pay $210. See there are lots of ways to get lets of products for free during Saleabration!

True Friend using Beauty Abounds and Strong & Beautiful by Leonie Schroder Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Australia

Strong & Beautiful True Friend

12 March, 2019

Leave a comment

Good Afternoon! It’s been a long Tuesday here with a super early start at 5am! I have my ‘True Friend’ card for you today from my Strong & Beautiful class …

I am sure that you have one, if not more, friend in your life that are a True Friend to you. Someone that is not only there for you during the good times but someone who is always there with a word, a hug or whatever you need when things arent going so well or in times of need. Someone you could send this card to.

Strong & Beautiful

I do love the Strong & Beautiful Stamp Set for it’s wonderful sentiments. Words to uplift and encourage, to show gratitude and words of Hope. I think it is one of those must have sets!

I love how this card turned out. If you havent noticed already I love using those dots from the Beauty Abounds Stamp Set! They create such wonderful backgrounds.

I wanted my sentiment to be the main focus of this card so the dotty background worked perfectly.

I’ve used the Rectangle Stitched Framelits to cut out my sentiment and I’ve just embellished my card with some of the sweet little butterflies from the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits. The Butterfly Beauty Thinlits are another must have! There are 20 different butterfly dies to adorn all your projects. I’ve cut my butterflies from the Lovely Lipstick Foil sheets – these are a free Saleabration reward.

To finish off this sweet card I’ve added the odd small rhinestone jewel.

I do hope you like today’s card. I am sure you have someone in mind that you could make this for and send in the post to them.

Vibrant Vases

11 March, 2019

Leave a comment

Good Evening! I have a sweet little card for you today from yesterday’s Vibrant Vases Class.

Vibrant Vases

I do love a good flower stamp set and Vibrant Vases is a great one to have in your supply. Not only is it a great little 2 step stamp set but it also coordinates perfectly with Varied Vases and the Vases Builder Punch.

It comes in Photopolymer so it’s transparent and easy to line up your stamps as you can see through the stamps to line them up.

One of my most favourite flowers are tulips so it was easy to decide what flowers to put in today’s vase!

They have been stamped in Calypso Coral with the leaves done in Soft Sea Foam. After placing my tulips on my card I simply used a Stampin Write Marker to draw my stems.

The vase was stamped in Versamark and then covered with white embossing powder and heat set. This vase goes perfectly with the Beautifully Detailed Designer Series Paper frame.

The Frame Panel from the Beautifully Detailed Laser Cut paper makes for an elegant and feminine card. I hope you like it as much as the ladies liked it in class.

Saleabration

Looking at purchasing the Vibrant Vases Stamp Set? you may wish to consider getting the Varied Vases Bundle as well.

Good Morning! Yay it’s the weekend again! This morning I get to meet up with some Resilient, Strong & Beautiful women. Yes its the ladies at my Weight Watchers meeting. These ladies are a continual support and cheer leaders for each other and me. I wouldn’t have come so far if it hadn’t been for them – now lets pray the scales were smiling this morning when I weigh in!

Strong & Beautiful

I am sure you have someone in your life who is continually Resilient, Strong and Beautiful. How nice would it be to give a card such as this to them? I’m sure they would be touched by your kind thoughts.

Lasting Lily in Navy by Leonie Schroder Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Australia

Navy Lasting Lily

8 March, 2019

Leave a comment

Good Morning! Yay we’ve made it to the weekend! Today’s card is one using the Lasting Lily Stamp set in Night of Navy

Lasting Lily

The Lasting Lily has to be one of my favourite Sale-a-bration Stamp Sets this year. You can make cards for all occasions and it’s perfect for those Occasions where you have no other words.

The Stamp Set comes with 10 different sentiments for you to use. There’s thoughts including thank you, caring, love and compassion/sympathy.

I did see a card on Mary Fish’s Blog using this colour theme and I thought how striking. So I tried this colour combination of Night of Navy and Crumb Cake for myself and immediately fell in love!

The stitching on the card base and the stitched label both come from the Stitched Labels Framelits pack.

It’s a great one to have on hand for adding elements to your cards or making lovely labels like on this card.

Lasting Lily in Navy – step by step

Cut your Crumb Cake Card base 105mm x 297mm. Fold in half and burnish fold. Run through Big Shot with the stitched piece on both sides of front of card.
Cut your Night of Navy Layer 86mm x 125mm
Cut your Very Vanilla Layer 82mm x 122mm. Stamp Lily Flowers in Night of Navy Ink. Stamp Stems and leaves and Crumb Cake Ink.
Adhere your stamped layer to your Night of Navy Layer. Affix these two layers to your card Base with Dimensionals.
Cut a Very Vanilla piece 30mm x 80mm. Stamp Sentiment in Night of Navy. Cut out with Big Shot and Stitched Label die. Affix to base of flowers with Dimensionals.
Tie a bow in the Braided Linen Trim and affix to label with a glue dot.

I hope you enjoy recreating this card. Remember there’s just 3 weeks left of Saleabration! Dont leave your order too late and miss out on the free rewards you deserve!

Country FLoral in So Saffron with Wooden Elements by Leonie Schroder Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Australia

Simply Wooden Elements

7 March, 2019

2 Comments

Good Afternoon and welcome to another Simple Stamping Techniques Blog Hop! This month we are showing you ways to use our fun little Wooden Elements.

Simple Stamping Techniques International Blog Hop

Simply Wooden Elements

I love using embellishments on a card. One such embellishment that gets overlooked are our Wooden Elements embellisments. Currently we have two sets …

Wooden Elements

Frames Elements

[146906]

$10.50

Butterfly Elements

[149711]

$0.00

Did you notice the price on the Butterfly Elements? Yes they are free with a $90 order during Sale-a-bration. While they have been sold out in USA they are still available here in Australia. They are Low Inventory so you’ll need to get your order in as soon as possible if you’d like them!

I’ve made a couple of cards for you today. Both are the same layout and design just in different colours.

In Balmy Blue …

Have you seen the new Country Florals Embossing Folder yet? It’s part of the Sale-a-bration 2nd Release and it’s gorgeous! To create this embossed look you swipe your ink pad (or brayer it for a lighter tone) over the inside of your embossing folder, insert the cardstock and run it through the Big Shot. I’ve teamed it up with a Balmy Blue Base Card and one of the designs from the Subtles Family paper stack. I’ve used a simple banner for my sentiment then finished it off with one of the sweet Butterfly Elements. They are fun and easy to add to a project for that little extra touch.

I think this one is my favourite. The softness of So Saffron is so pretty and there’s just something about yellow that cheers everyone up. I suppose it is the colour of sunshine!

For my element on this card I used a different butterfly from the Butterfly Elements. It’s one of the butterfly frames or outlines and Ive simply added the metallic pearls inside the frame for it’s body. There are many ways to use these little elements and know you’ll love playing with them and adding them to your projects too!

Let’s go hopping …

Now lets go hopping! Check out all the ideas from the Simple Stamping Techniques Design Team …

Tiled Flowers using Vibrant Vases by Leonie Schroder Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Australia

Freshly Brewed Vibrant Vases

6 March, 2019

2 Comments

Good Afternoon and welcome to another Freshly Brewed Projects from the Latte Girls. This week we are sharing projects using the gorgeous Vibrant Vases Stamp Set

Vibrant Vases

When I first saw this set in the Occasions Catalogue the corners of my mouth angled a little a smile appeared on my face! This set was designed to coordinate with the Vases Builder Punch.

I do love flowers! I love to colour them, cut them out, punch them, die cut them. They are God’s little gift to us to brighten our day and homes! So for today’s card I went with just the flowers from this sweet set …

With this set being a 2 step stamp set and photopolymer it made it easy to stamp the flowers and colour them. Perfect for anyone new to stamping!

Once my flowers and sentiment were stamped I cut them out with the Layering Squares Framelits. They are layered on a scalloped square also from the Layering Squares Framelits. Once my squares were done I sponged Balmy Blue around the edges with a dauber.

My tulip square was done a little different. I stamped and punched the flowers and leaves. Stamped the stems on the white square then placed and adhered the flowers and leaves on.

I do hope you like today’s card. I wanted to do something different with this set as everything I have seen seems to look the same or similar. This is why I went with the ‘flowers only.

Now lets see what the Latte Girls have created for you today …
