Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop | Tiny Keepsakes


Hello Stamping Friends! Welcome to our very last 2019 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop for December and for the year. I can't believe we are at our last post already! Just feels like yesterday when the 2019 Artisan Team was announced. It feels just like yesterday when this amazing journey began. While this year has been at times a little crazy I have truly loved every minute of it and still cant believe that I was give this opportunity of a life time to represent Stampin' Up! on the ADT for a second time. I am so very grateful for everything that this team has brought. Also a big thank you to all of you who have supported me along the way! 

I'm a bit sad that this Artisan year has come to an end and I'll be finishing up with the 2019 team but I'm also super excited that I'll be continuing on with the ADT, with the 2020 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team. Eek!!! If you haven't seen my announcement. Check out my blog post HERE. 

Now on to my project for today, we are using either the Tags, Tags, Tags Bundle and/or the
Tiny Keepsakes Bundle from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue. Two fabulous bundles to create amazing projects on their own or using them both together. I'm using the Tiny Keepsakes Bundle to show you a quick and easy project to make some fun party favours for your Christmas Day gatherings. If you are still looking for an idea this might just be for you. In this fantastic bundle is the Tiny Keepsakes stamp set and the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies. Fun!


I've gone for some traditional Christmas Colours - Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow. How cute are these little boxes? The Tiny Keepsakes stamp set that is part of this bundle is fabulous for quickly decorating this sides of the gorgeous little box, with either a plaid/tartan pattern or a striped pattern.

Also in this stamp set is some fun sentiments to create some gorgeous, coordinating tags. Cute! The die shapes for the tags come in the Mini Curvy Keepsakes dies so everything is coordinated and fits together. Got to love everything matching.


For some extra shimmer and sparkle, splatter some Clear Wink of Stella over your cute boxes and tie the tags with some of Stampin' Up!'s ribbon and trim. There is lots to choose from!

Create these little boxes and fill with some sweet treats as a place setting on each plate for Christmas Day or pile them up on a platter for each of your guests to take at the end of your event. Change up the colours to suite your Christmas decor.

Here is the complete list of 2020 Artisans. Make sure you visit their Blogs/Instagram/Facebook/Pinterest and follow them! You won’t want to miss their amazing creations! A whole lot of talent right there that's for sure!



Now for the last time for 2019 please hop on to the amazing Stesha Bloodhart in the U.S. with her super gorgeous creations! Lots of fun and fabulous ideas from Stesha!! Stesha will be back on the ADT for 2020 also so you'll see her amazing ADT creations for another year.

On Stage Prize Patrol | Under My Umbrella Blog Hop



Hello there stamping friends. Welcome to a special blog hop showing one of the amazing new stamp sets from the 2020 Jan - June Mini Catalogue - Under my Umbrella. We are Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world who won the Under my Umbrella at the recent On Stage demonstrator event back in Nov. We were all lucky badge no. 6!

International readers please use the translate feature to translate to your language.

 Even though the stamp set is called Under My Umbrella, what stood out to me the most was the gorgeous pair of what we call here in Australia 'gumboots'. The next thing that drew my eye was all the cute little flowers. And because these images are what we call open line artwork I felt they were perfect for a soft water colour look.


I've use a Spring/Summer colour combo for my card using Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight. These colours are gorgeous together and really make for a fun and pretty project.

I've started with a Coastal Cabana water colour wash base on my favourite cardstock - Shimmery White and then embossed that layer with the Subtle 3D Embossing folder for some added texture.


I heat embossed all the images with White Stampin' Emboss powder and then coloured them in using an Aqua Painter and picking the colour up off the lid of the ink pad. Once all the images were coloured in I then fussy cut them all out with paper snips and arranged the images on the Shimmery White Panel for a fun and pretty arrangement.

I just love the soft and spring like look to this project and the sentiment on the Basic Black panel makes for a fabulous contrast against the soft look. Super gorgeous and super pretty!

Please hop on next to the fabulous Lotte Noordzij in the Netherlands for her amazing creations. Make sure you follow the whole hop around for all the fantastic projects using this set. You won't be disappointed!

Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop | Sale-a-bration 2020 Sneak Peak




 Hello there stamping friends. A big welcome to you today for our special Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop showing you what is on offer for 2020 Sale-a-bration and the products that you can get for FREE!

Sale-A-Bration pre-earn for is finally here from 3 December 2019 to 2 January 2020! This means that demonstrators can earn items in the Sale-A-Bration Shop offering early. For every $90 AUD/$110 NZD or $180 AUD/$220 NZD you spend, you choose a free item from the Sale-A-Bration brochure that matches the level you spent. Demonstrators can even use the pre-order of the January–June Mini catalogue and purchase items from that catalogue or any other current catalogue, and earn free Sale-A-Bration products! If you aren’t a demonstrator yet, this is a great sneak peek to see what is in store for Sale-A-Bration beginning 3 January 2020!

We've got so many projects to show you and you'll want to get all the 2020 Sale-a-bration offerings!

I've got two cards for you today using the Happy Birthday to You Sale-a-bration stamp set. Spend $90 AUD, between 3rd Jan - 31 March 2020, and you can get this gorgeous cake stamp set for FREE. It's all pretty and florally and all round gorgeous.

I've used all the same products on both cards but changed up the layout and have shown how you can use just some of the flowers that are on the beautiful cake.


I just love to colour on coloured cardstock but sometimes when you try to do this with the ink colour straight onto the cardstock the ink colour changes and even gets a little lost into the cardstock background. The best way to colour onto coloured cardstock is to cover your image first with a Whisper White Craft Ink 'undercoat' layer and then add your chosen colour over top. Check out my Instagram Step-By-Step Tip HERE on how you can achieve this different look.



I first embossed the image with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and then 'white washed' the image with Whisper White Craft Ink and an Aqua Painter. I left the actual 'cake' part of the image white to make it look like it is covered in 'fondant' icing and then used Gorgeous Grape, Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry, for the flowers, and Crumb Cake for the cake stand base. For some added layering and dimension I fussy cut some of the flowers that I had heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Vellum and then layered them behind the flowers in the main image. Pretty!!



For my second card using this gorgeous set, I've made it a bit more intricate and avid by only using the flowers from the cake image. I stamped and heat embossed 4 of the cake images and then using the same colouring technique as the first card I coloured in the flowers. Once coloured in I then fussy cut them out and then arranged them on the card as an accent to the rectangle sentiment panel. How gorgeous do the flowers look with the Crumb Cake colour underneath and then the pretty colour on top?

This set is perfect for those that love to colour, like me, and can be used with any colouring medium. Why not try colouring the cake with Stampin' Blends or Watercolouring to really change up the look. You'll be surprised at each different look with each different colouring medium.

Just a reminder that pre-order/pre-earn is an exclusive benefit for demonstrators to get their hands on products earlier, so they are ready to go for the launch of the fabulous Sale-a-bration promotion. If you want to get your hands on prouct earlier than everyone else why not join up. You've got nothing to loose. Just ask me how or join up HERE with me! 

Next up on the hop is the fabulously amazing Stesha Bloohart in the U.S showing you the super gorgeous Little Ladybug Stamp set. Her super cute projects will have you wanting to get the stamp set ASAP! Click on the next button below to see what she has for you!

2020 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you may have already seen my exciting news but I wanted to share it to my blog supporters as well. I've been waiting for what feels like forever for this to be announced and last weekend at the Stampin' Up!® On Stage Local demonstrator only event that was held in Sydney, my now not so little secret was let out of the bag.

 I have the great honour of being selected to be on the 2020 Stampin' Up!® Artisan Design Team and I am beyond thrilled to be chosen again! To have been on it once was fantastic, a second time - unbelievable,  but now to have been chosen a third time is an opportunity of a life time. I'm still pinching myself to have been asked back again! I'm feeling so blessed, so grateful and so thankful to be part of this amazing team with an amazing talented bunch of 16 Stampin' Up!® demonstrators from all over the world. I can’t wait to get creating and just sharing what I love. 

This is the beautiful, personalised memento that all the Artisan Design Team Members were awarded, which included a Welcome letter, a beautiful engraved bracelet from Tiffany's and a personalised Artisan Design Team stamp.








What does it mean to be on the Artisan Design Team? As an Artisan, we have been selected by the Stampin' Up!® company, and then Stampin' Up!® will provide myself, and my 15 fellow teammates, with current products so that we might create beautiful things to inspire you! We have a once a month blog hop, that will begin in January 2020. We also will be creating blog posts for the Stampin' Up!® Corporate Blog and also sharing some tips and tricks using Stampin' Up!® products for the Stampin' Up!® Instagram and Facebook accounts.

Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop | Toile Tidings Suite

Hello there stamping friends! Welcome to the Stampin' Up!Artisan Design Team Blog Hop, where this month we are all about the beautifully festive Toile Tidings Suite.


This suite is traditional in its Garden Green and Real Red colours. The Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper features traditional toile designs, the Toile Christmas Stamp Set has the gorgeous Cardinal Bird combined with sophisticated seasonal greetings and then the Tidings All Around Stamp set and coordinating dies have fun wreath tidings of comfort and joy to everyone! Combined with the two stamp sets in this suite and DSP is the beautiful and stunning Toile Tidings Gift Wrap, two gorgeous matching ribbons and cute embellishments. There is so much to love in this amazing suite!


One thing that really stuck out to me in this amazing suite is the stunning wreath die from the
All-Around Wreath Dies that coordinate with the Tidings All Around Stamp Set. I've got three different projects for you today with three different looks on creating with the wreath die.


My first project uses the wreath die cut from Water Colour paper and then 'coloured' over with Garden Green Ink and an Aqua Painter. I love the mottled look to the wreath with the variations of colour, from the lightest shade of Garden Green to the full strength. Once the wreath was dry I painted over Clear Wink of Stella to add to the shimmery and festive feel of the card.

Layered with the watercolour wreath is the wreath image, from the Tidings All Around Stamp Set,  embossed in Gold Stampin' Emboss powder on Shimmery White Cardstock, a Vellum Die Cut Wreath and then the watercolour Wreath on top. Don't you just love soft and pretty look?


The second project for today again layers the wreath die cut but this time I've embossed the top layer with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. This just give the die cut some added texture and dimension. How cute does the wreath look with some of the Cherry Cobbler Rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels? Very Christmassy! Layer the wreath with some embossed vellum and some Gold Glimmer die cuts and you have one gorgeous project.


The last project is a gorgeous little gift box using the Gold Mini Pizza Boxes. These Pizza Boxes are so stunning and will make any gift look so extra. I've layered three different colours here for the wreath die cuts - Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party and Garden Green. On the top layer, using a sponge dauber, swipe the edges with Versamark Ink and then heat emboss some Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder over that.  Slide the belly band off with all the layers and then you'll be able to get to the gift inside.


I've stuck with the same elements, embellishments and trim for all three projects for a coordinated look. The sentiment banner just screamed out to me to use with the chalkboard technique and adding things like Linen Thread and Gold Glimmer Paper always add to that 'special' look. These projects I've created today would even make for a fun 'extra special' class or some projects for a customer/demo crafting day.


Its amazing how that we all are using the same products yet we all have created something very different from each other. So make sure that you hop on now to Stesha Bloodhart in the U.S. for her super amazing projects. I think I say this every time but you will not be disappointed with what she has for you today. That girl is just amazing!!!

TGIF Challenges | #TGIFC237 Sketch Challenge

Hello there stamping friends! Today I'm playing along and entering my card in the challenge over at TGIF Challenges | TGIF #237. I've not had much motivation to create the last few weeks. What I find what helps me to get out of a crafting slump is to participate in a challenge or two. And what better way to help get those creative ideas flowing is with a sketch challenge.


Don't you just love this sketch from TGIF??!! It has a basic design element and then it gives you so much room to do what you feel lead to create. 

I've decided to turn the sketch vertical and go for a Christmas inspired creation. I've pulled out the super cute #Elfie Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue. This is such a fun stamp set and fabulous for colouring!!


Because I've used bright and bold colours on the elf image I thought that it would pair well with a crisp white base layer. Too many colours on a card can sometimes be a hot mess. I've combined with the white a little bit of the Cherry Cobbler DSP from the Night Before Christmas 6" x 6" pack. Just enough pattern to not take over.


To create a snow fall look on the Whisper White, I've splattered Clear Wink of Stella and then  added a few of the Snowflake Sequins. Just a little bit of something to break up the white background and to add to the Christmas feel. 

I've then finished the card off with one of the sentiments from the #Elfie Stamp set and some Whisper White Baker's Twine and some Silver Metallic Thread. Super cute and Super fun! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

This suite is perfect to use beyond the Holiday Season and the images from the gorgeous stamp set is perfect to use for other occasions like birthdays, thank-yous, sympathy cards. It can be used for anything really.

I've used the stamp set, dies and some of the embellishments for a Birthday card and a gorgeous gift box. I've wanted to colour in the rose image since I first got my hands on this suite and that is what I've done for you today.


I've given the rose a whole different look by first stamping and embossing it with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on water colour paper. The rose image I've coloured it with an Aqua Painter and Flirty Flamingo Ink.


The Holly berries looked like the Australian Wattle when it's in full bloom in Spring. The bright little 'wattle' flowers just pop right off the card when coloured with Crushed Curry Ink.


Because the big rose image is so bold and has so much going on the card really doesn't need much to accent it. Some Linen Thread, a piece of the Gold Shimmer Ribbon, Gold Glimmer Enamel Dots and some Rhinestone Basic Jewels. So pretty!


I've used nearly all of the same elements on this Kraft Pillow Gift Box. The rose image looks just as amazing die cut and placed on a 3-D item as it does on a card.


Finish the box off with some ribbon and trim and this will be one well received gift box. I know that if someone gave me a gift box decorated like this I would just love it!


I do hope that I've shown you today that this suite can be used to Christmas and beyond and it's not just for the Holiday season.
