Using the DSP

One of our recent classes was STAMP.  RELAX.  REPEAT. with DSP.  The idea of these classes is that the projects are pretty simple, with minimal instruction from me and more time to chat.

If you have any DSP lying around at home, these are pretty easy to put together...and pretty quick.

These are simply cut out using the Bitty Butterfly Punch and stuck on using Glue Dots.

 

 

Squares of DSP are punched out for this one using the now retired 1" Square Punch.  We stuck them onto a square of Whisper White then ran it through the Big Shot using an embossing folder to give it a quilted look.

 

 

Wedgewood?  This time we used the 1" Circle Punch on the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper.  To define the edges, we sponged with Night of Navy ink.  The circle were then popped up on Dimensionals.

 

And I think this one is my fave.  Using strips of different widths (and a retired DSP) we covered a rectangle of Whisper White.  Then we used the Leaflets Framelits to cut out the leafy shapes.  A little bow of linen thread is perfect to finish them off.

If you are wanting a relaxing time to get creative, have a chat and make some beautiful things, please feel welcome to come along to my classes.  I update my class timetable regularly and you can access it using the 'Come to my Classes' button at the top of the blog.

Don't forget that Sale-a-Bration ends on March 31st!  This is a great time to buy - $90 gets you a free SAB item, and a great time to join - two free stamp sets when you join during SAB.

Thanks for stopping by!

Recognise this card???

This card would look familiar to someone out there. 

And that's because you made it!   For Cards for Troops.  But it has been returned to us...with a message!

Dear Anna
My name is Keiran V____ and I am one of the officers in the Australian Contingent in Juba, South Sudan.
I wanted to thank you for your kind gesture of sending blank Christmas cards.  It measn a lot to myself and the other contingent members to know we are thought of and not forgotten at this time of year.
It will be a very different Christmas experience sharing with colleagues from the other United Nations countries supporting this mission.  I hope the Christmas goodwill will aslo be apparent within the local population.
The group of about 20 Australians will be sharing a Christmas BBQ roast and a Secret Santa so we should be able to have a fun Christmas day, even if we don't have family nearby.
I hope you have a very merry Christmas.  Thanks again for the cards.
Warmest regards,
Keiran V______

We have great response this year to our biggest output of cards!  We also received an email recently.

UNOFFICIAL Good Morning Anna,

My name is Petty Officer Jon S______ and I am currently deployed on the ANZAC Class Frigate, HMAS Arunta, in the Middle East Area of Operations.

We received a bag of mail yesterday and the awesome cards that you and your team have made. In my 15 years in the Navy I have never received anything like this from volunteers at home, and I have had a few Christmas's away.

What a fantastic gesture. It is 0530 in the morning and I am going to use some of your creations to send a Christmas message home.

I have 2 children, E_____ who is 8 and F____ who is 2. I'm sure they will enjoy going to the mailbox to find such a nice card for them.

Just knowing that there are people such as yourself makes these deployments worthwhile.

Once again, thanks very much for your lovely gifts. The crew on the ship will no doubt love sending these precious gifts home to their loved ones.

Jon


Thanks and regards,

Jon S______
Petty Officer Boatswain
HMAS Arunta
FFH 151

So thank you to all of you who have come to our working bees to make cards!  How lovely it is to work together on such a worthwhile cause!

Since you have done a lot of reading... how about you check out a Stampin' Up! video.  This is one of the Sale-a-Bration items that you could earn with each $90 you spend during Sale-a-Bration.
I'll have this one ready as a sample at my catalogue launch!

Thanks for stopping by!

Don't forget and a sneak peek

Long time no blog!  I have had the busy-ness of finishing up the school year plus a family holiday at Caloundra where the only paper craft I did was a completing a jig saw and reading a book!  I needed a change of pace!

Now I am back and in the swing of things....

Don't forget that our Holiday catalogue is drawing to a close....  It is heading to the beach and putting its feet up on January 3rd.  That means that the Year End Closeout will also be over .  Don't forget to check out the specials HERE.  And have a look through your Holiday Catalogue for anything you might like to order!

Of course, that means a new catalogue is coming starting January 4th.  I was able to purchase new products during Onstage and as a demonstrator, we get to buy purchase from the new catalogue a month early!  So my pre-order has arrived and I have been having a play.

I love dinky sets - and this set called Custom Tee called me by my name. There's a matching set of T Shirt slogans in the new Sale-a-Bration catalogue so you can expect to see lots of these little T shirts popping up! 

I love making these single sided note cards for when I need to write a quick word to customers or friends.

And of course, it's hard to send a boring envelope (in fact it should be illegal!) when you have a whole bunch of stamps and inks to choose from!

I will have these and other samples 'in the flesh' at my catalogue launch!  I live in Burleigh Waters on the Gold Coast.  Come stamp with me!
