Sale-a-bration favourites

Saleabration is my favourite time of year. Why wouldn't it be?

For every $90 spent on anything from any catalogue you get to choose something Free from the Saleabration catalogue.

Free product Includes the gorgeous Specialty paper "Irresistibly yours".

A white paper with a glossy white pattern embossed so that when you sponge, spritz or ink it your colouring reveals the amazing pattern underneath.

I've combined it with the free SAB Lotus Blossom stamp. 

I quite like the painted look of this three step stamp and words. 

The irresistably yours paper is special because You can stamp over it and then wipe the ink off the white shiny bits. There's a list of techniques to use it with.

My fave is to use a mask to sponge lines or shapes. This one is patterned with tiny stars perfect for a baby birthday. This next photo shows the before and after papers. Un-stamped and stamped.

There are lots of free stamps offered. 

The "Big Day" stampset is another firm favourite as it fits perfectly on the new Ornate Tag topper punch. 

We made these three cards last week at a mini launch party at a friends place.

Would you like to make some too?

Stampin' Up! Party time - amazing!

Everyone loves a party!

Stampin' up! demos celebrated at Olympic park, Sydney to share, inspire and create together.

This was just part of the beautiful display put on by our Sydney demonstrators. So many ideas to photograph and inspire the creative crowd of about 140.

Linda Higgins and Aaron entertained us on stage. 

During the day we had three make and takes to complete using the gorgeous "Choose happiness" stampset.

I love what you can do with this set.

Linda demonstrated the coffee bag. An appropriate choice. It could contain Tea or biscuits, chocolate or a small gift. We decorated a notebook and a card.

We were asked to make our own name tag. So here's mine made with glimmer paper and some BlackberryBliss cardstock. The letters are cut out with Bigshot Framelits using the negative shape.

And three layers of butterfly Framelits. And I've used another of those Something Borrowed embellishments and some chevron ribbon.

We caught up with friends we haven't seen for months...

And the ones from 'round the corner too.

Plenty of new product ideas to play with ...

Petal Potpourri and adventure Bound with penguins

This is so simple yet very striking especially because the patterned paper is of river pebbles. I've added some Sahara Sand coloured lace and a stamped and punched flower from Petals Potpourri.

The final embellishment is the "Something Borrowed" embellishment from our bridal stationary range. These are so pretty I think you could wear them as Jewellery.

Also today we made cards with the new Crazy About You stamp and Framelit Bundle.

The words are cut out with the framelit letters and the Birthday stamp is from Butterfly Basics.

The cute penguins is not a new punch. Take a closer look...

That's the Owl builder punch in black cardstock, ears removed and re-stuck-on as wings!

I love th is idea for making penguin cards.

I think they're gorgeous, don't you!

December Birthdays ...

It has been a month of celebration of Birthdays. Jess went to a party with request for birthday card in blue with football on it. So Jess drew the character from one of her books and I provided the stars and goal posts. Winner!

There seemed a whole cascade of people having their birthday between Christmas and new year.

Let me show you this one from another angle ... It's a flip flop card with extra flappy bits.

Are you getting the gist of it yet? Lots of extra panels to decorate, so fun to make!

We celebrated a twelfth birthday which was to feature feathers and film...

Colours: Aqua and purple gold or silver ... Thankfully there were a few new stamps in my stash due to A new catalogue coming out next week.

They feature butterflies and sequins ... And then came the actual birthday card with giant gold butterfly and some sneak peek Birthday Bash patterned paper.

I just love a gold foil butterfly on a gatefold card with sequins! Yep made it up at 11.30pm and wrapped a few pressies by midnight the night before said birthday.
