Christmas Baking

I've made some mini Christmas cakes and packaged them up for neighbours.

 

 

Apart from cooking the cakes, this was a pretty quick and easy gift to prepare.

 

 

 

 

 





Save that cardboard from your Specialty DSP packs. I covered rectangles of this strong card with Letters to Santa DSP as the base for the cakes.

Stampin Up! cello bags make packaging a breeze.  I even used one around the cardboard layer that the cakes rest on - just to keep the DSP grease free.

The gift tag came together in a flash, using the colours that co-ordinate with the Letters to Santa DSP, and the Apothecary Accents Framelits.

Lastly, I tied the package off with co-ordinating ribbon to give it the finishiing touch!

Well hello

At the same as saying good-bye to the retiring 'stuff' we'll soon be saying hello to lots of gorgeous new stamp sets, papers and accessories.  As a demonstrator, I get to have a play a month early.

Here's a sneek peek of one of the DSPs coming our way.  I think I like it as much as the old Jolly Holiday, the way you can mix all the patterns together.  In fact, I have made this exact design with Jolly Holiday DSP.

Loving getting into the Christmas spirit by getting my cards organised!!  It will be here before we know it!

This paper is called Be of Good Cheer and it's just one of the many Christmas papers to chooses from in our Annual Catalogue AND our Holiday Catalogue, both coming out in September!

Keep checking in for more sneak peeks of the new and goodbyes to the old.

Swappin'

Regional Training was last Saturday where we are given heaps of creative and business ideas.  Demonstrators can make swaps for one another - make 20 cards the same, swap with others and you end up with 20 new ideas.  Just prior to Regionals, we also did a team swap, so I've ended up with a really inspiring collection of cards.

There are so many different ideas and it's great to get straight in and try some out.  When we did our team swap, Liz Collett  my upline, gave me this card.

I love its simple lines and two colour combination.

At regionals, she gave me this card.  Same layout but a very different result.

So for my recent Christmas Stamp-a-Stack, we made this card, an adaptation of Liz's idea.

Three cards, same basic layout yet three different results. 

Don't forget that the Ideas Book and Catalogue is packed full of great card designs which you can adapt to the stamp sets that you have.  If you don't have a catalogue, contact me and I will get one to you.  Or receive one free if you book a party.
