Our Charity Day!!

 Oh my goodness!  It's been a month since I have blogged.

Lots to tell you.  On Sunday we ran our annual Christmas Card Workshop!  Fellow demonstrator Bec Ross and I designed the projects and the event is held in a number of locations from the Gold Coast to Pine Rivers.  This event was on the Gold Coast at the Lonestar Tavern, Mermaid Waters.

It's always a fun day - I call it a 'fun'raiser and a fundraiser.

Here are all the ladies who came!

We had some fantastic displays!!  Thanks to everyone who contributed and to those who did a fantastic job of setting them up!  There's a lot of inspiration there!!

Our raffle is a huge hit every year.  Stampin' Up! donates a HUGE box of retired goodies that we raffle off.  What would you choose??

As usual there are CUTE lucky door prizes.

And Kylie won the Golden Ticket Prize!  It was randomly hidden in a project kit.  She didn't discover her ticket till near the end of the day and people were asking if they might have missed it.  I think it was probably big enough, don't you?

It was a very fun day only made possible by my team The Lorikeet Stampers.  They helped prep kits, make samples, set up, organise food, run tables, sell raffle tickets, help one another, organise food, clean up, carry things etc etc.  They are a wonderful bunch!!

If you have read this far you need to know how much we raised..

$1024!!

This will go towards the footprint cards and craft resources that we provide to the hospitals. 

Thanks everyone who came along and supported us.

Pictures of the projects coming in the next blog post.  (I won't take a month!)

If you are interested in attending these events or my classes in the future, contact me and I will add you to my list.  Email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com or phone me on 041 6022 766.

Thanks for stopping by.

Darling Label Punch Box

 Unfortunately the Darling Label Punch Box is retired but I would love to show you the projects we made this morning.

These darling tins went on the Clearance Rack earlier in the year (when Covid hit!) so I bought up 8 of them for a class.

The design below has a nifty fold out design.  The 6 x 6" DSP in the Brights colours was perfect for providing a variety of patterns and prints.

Whilst the punch is perfect for punching out whichever sentiment chosen, the 'thanks' below was fussy cut (because the punch would cut off the tips of the leaves.)

A colourful play with the punch created this card - the shape was punched out of all the brights and, because we needed 12 colours, we also used two 'bright' In Colours.

And the single sided notecard showed how you can use a floral stamp with a sentiment without using the sentiment.  

We stamped the flowers repeatedly, making sure the 'thanks' sentiment was off the edge of the paper each time.  A great way to get more bang for your buck out of a stamp.

Did you know there are still great bargains on the Clearance Rack?  You can fund retired items at reduced prices by clicking HERE.

And September is a great time to join with our Get and Go Promotion.  $169 gets you $235 of product of your choice (even Clearance Rack goodies).  That's $66 of FREE product and FREE shipping and handing.

Prized Peony Class

 Our most recent stamp-a-stack used the Prized Peony suite.   If you live on the Gold Coast and would like to come along to a class,  let me know!

The DSP uses only two colours - Gray Granite and Petal Pink.  I must admit that I haven't used Gray Granite but these cards made me fall in love with it.

These panels were cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  The scallop edge is one of the dies from the Peony dies.  (Love a good scallop!)

We played with our sponge brayers in Petal Pink ink for these cards.

Do you spy a faint border around the large stamped image.  That was created by cutting out the corresponding shape from the die set, laying it over the stamped image and brayering.

There's even a beautiful Gray Granite Shimmer ribbon as part of the suite.

This card showcases the suite perfectly with layers of DSP, the ribbon and the stamped image and sentiment.

And sometimes simplicity is the key.  We loved this clean and simple card using the Layering Scalloped Circles and the Stitched Shape Framelits.

All the beautiful Peony items can be found in my online store by clicking HERE.

Paper Angels Team Day Prizes

 We ran our twice-a-year Paper Angels team day on Saturday.  

A stamping event would not be the same without Prize Patrol.  This time round we gave everyone sampler packs of product from the Mini Catalogue.  Lots of Christmas and Halloween goodies.

If you wish to view the new catalogue, there is a link in the top left hand corner of this page.

Need a hard copy (because paper is fun!) Contact me and I will get one to you.

Paper Angels Team Day Fun

 Last Saturday I joined with Bec Ross to run a 'Crafting Through Corona' Team Day.  Our wider team, of which we are both a part is called the Paper Angels, so we had 40 angels in attendance.

One of our ladies was unable to attend as she loves across the border and had been shut out by Covid.  But we made sure she was part of the action by creating a 'flat Jan'.

We always have fantastic displays put together by Liz and Zena

We had four demonstrators contribute as display stampers.  They produced wonderful samples.

And here are the members of my team who attended!   We have fantastic new shirts made by TP Promotional Gear. 

Hey!  Want to join my team and be part of the fun?  We are a lovely bunch - we even welcome cardboard cutouts!!

It's $169 to join and you choose $235 worth of products.  And you get to be part of the Lorikeet Stampers.
