Stampin' Up! Onstage 2017 - Melbourne!

Last Saturday our team minus Amie (she's in Perth and couldn't go unfortunately) went to the biggest Stampin' Up! local event in the year - Melbourne Onstage 2017!  

We were very fortunate to be able to go as a team, sitting altogether, share our ideas and thoughts, as well as having a fantastic make-and-take session with the latest products which are yet to be released!

It was full on with speeches, recognition, product spotlight, make and take, and of course prize patrol.  We laughed so much and had a fantastic time! Thanks to Kate Morgan's help and support to make it a great day.  She is the upline you'd dream to be with - caring, funny, relaxed and spoiling us with gifts and great support.  This time she gave each of us a bone folder with our names engraved on it! 




Deborah, me and Andrea.  We all have day jobs and so cannot get together on a regular basis, but I'm so happy we made it this time.


Me photo bombing Deborah! 



Our only group photo taken right before the staff pulled down the banner. Made it.




And we finally got a chance to have a photo with Bonnie, who is witty, funny and just joy to talk to.  But you should see Bev's face when we told her she missed it, again! 



I can't wait for our next time to get together again!

AWHT October Blog Hop - Designer Series Paper




From 1 - 31 October only! From selected DSPs, buy 3 DSPs and get 1 FREE! 

Tonight the Art with Heart Team girls are sharing some wonderful ideas to inspire you with our Designer Series Papers.  

This month is the start of the new Stampin' Up year and we have a special promotion on our DSP - buy 3 get 1 FREE for the month of October, and there's no limit!  So take this opportunity and go to my shop to browse those beautiful papers and pay less! 

To demonstrate the DSPs I've chosen the one that is the latest holiday catalogue - the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper! 

I've used this DSP in my previous fun fold Christmas card, and am so impressed at how attracting it is.  Now I'm using it again to make two cards, one for Christmas and the other New Year.

#1 Season's Greeting

In this card I've used two sheets from the DSP, as well as the Cheers to the Year stamp set, plus the foil snowflakes to complete it. It is relatively easy (that's how I roll) and basically I just layer them all up. 



I try to ink the edge of the snow flakes with Bermuda Bay ink pad but it doesn't stay on very well.  I think most of the ink eventually got to my fingers! 


#2 Cheers to New Year

In this card I've also used two sheets of different design from the DSP, and the same stamp set and foil snowflakes.  I cut the other DSP in arrowed strips to place under the sentiment.  





Well I hope you enjoy my cards which are very easy to make with this DSP to impress the receiver.  Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the very talented and lovely,  Catherine Proctor
