Melon Mambo

We sponsored my niece, Ella, who got 100% on her spelling test.  I whipped this up to congratulate her.  I love the intensity of Melon Mambo.  The sentiment was done on computer.

Occasional Greetings for Father's Day

The Stamp set Occasional Greetings has 12 stamps to cover all occcasions.  The Father's Day stamp is a great solid image and I worked the layout of this card to echo the layout of the stamp.

Old Olive is one of my favourite colours and it's one that will continue into the new catalogue.  The three brads line up beautifully using the mat pack.

That's Windsor Knot DSP in the background.  Love it!

Father's Day

With Father's Day fast approaching it's time to get those masculine cards organised.  My most recent workshop focussed on male cards and my tips were
  • keep it simple
  • use minimal embellishments
  • combine earthy tones and save bright colours for accents
  • metallic accents, such as brads add a nice touch
Keeping with the earthy tones, here is a small card for a dad.  The sentiment is done on the computer.

Spy Evidence Containers!


My mum gave me a couple of empty makeup containers which, with the help of Stampin' Ups circle punches, I converted into spy gear for my son. The blue ring covers the brand writing and the bottom of the containers are images from the web, printed off then punched out with circle punches.

Scroll down if you are looking for the Last Chance List.

Last Chance List






Our current catalogue, which has been with us for 18 months, finishes at the end of August to make way for exciting new products. Stampin' Up! has published its retiring list which can be viewed here. Some stamp sets are discounted by 50%.

Some inevitable price rises are in store and two are worth noting:
  • packs of A4 cardstock (24 sheets) are currently $10.50 and will increase to $13.95. If you have any favourite colours, you might like to stock up on these before the price rise at the end of the month. Retiring colours will be finished and continuing colours will increase by $3.45.
  • our punches will be in the new flat style - great for easier storage and for larger punch designs. Some of these new large punches will be $33.95 rather than $3o.95 so if there is a punch you have had your eye on let me know and I will tell you if it will increase in price. Again, you could save money by placing your order this month, for the 'old' style punch, before the new catalogue begins in September.

Email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com or phone 55 765 469 to place an order.
