Stampin Up New 2010/2011 Catalogue

There is nothing like a new catalogue to inspire your Mojo and mine has returned. Brimming with new stamp sets and colours this catty is sure to please. If you havn't received a copy yet please email me at ascorsi2@bigpond.com or simply go online to view at www.stampinup.com.au under catalogues. Another kickstart to my Mojo was the wonderful weekend that Michelle and I had on the Tableland Retreat. Apart from the challenges and stampin talk, the highlight for me was to met Stampin Royalty Makeesha Byl. I have been a huge fan of hers for ages and if you check out her website you 'll soon see why. www.makeeshabyl.com.au A huge thank you must go to Shannean Monicreiff and her band of helpers for making the whole experience a blast.... Enough chitter chatter I will be back soon with my swap card and others from the retreat.

Easter Blessings

Hi Stampers,

Can you believe there is only 1 week until Easter. Where did that time go? I hope anyone travelling arrives there safe and sound. For me I hope the rain eases up and that camping will be possible.

Here are some photos of the easter card from my last cardmaking workshop. It has a little white brad at the top to work as a hinge to reveal a hidden message. Thought it was quite sweet. Here is the recipe:

CARD RECIPE:

Stamps; A Good Egg

Cardstock; Barley Banana, Lovely Lilac, Cameo Coral, Whispher White

Inks: black Staz on, Lovely Lilac, Versamark

Accessories; scallop and large oval punch, sponge, Stampin' Pastels, glue pen, dazzling diamonds, daisy pattern embossing folder and Big shot, one small white brad, pop dots

Remember there is only a few days left to take advantage of the Sale-a-bration, my last order will have to go in on the 30th of this month. Contact me for any details. Thanks for looking.

A Male card

Hi fellow crafters,

I know two posts in one day, that's one for my record book. I've made a Man's card with a difference for this post. One of the questions I get asked constantly is what to use for mens cards. Even when I make them I seem to want to use fish and boats. But what about those Men who don't like fishing? I've combined a variety of techniques on this card all of which can be used on many other cards eg: bleaching (using the scroll from Baroque Motifs), crimping, corner rounding, faux tearing, sponging and a new one I've learnt slit punch border.

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Happy Moments (sale-a-bration set ), Sanded background

Inks: Staz on black, Basic Gray

Cardstock: Confetti Cream, Basic Black, Basic Gray

Accessories: corner rounder punch, slit punch large oval punch, scallop oval punch, crimper, sponge, bleach and paper towel, scrap paper for mask for faux tearing technique, Stamp-a-ma-jig to position black stamped scroll slightly off bleached scroll.

Enjoy
