Because I Care

This set is one of the free sets that you can get when you have a stampin’ up class. It is called ‘Punch Potpourri’. I love it because there is a punch that matches each of the stamps. This makes it so easy to make a number of cards at once.

I am also using the ‘En Francais’ background stamp set quite a bit. ( No: 112358 $33.95) It gives a lovely vintage background to build your designs on.

I have used soft suede and so saffron.

In this picture you can also see:

- two step bird punch ( 117191 $33.95)

-Boho blossom punch ( 119858 $33.95)

-Curly label punch (119851  $33.95)

See the ‘order’ tab at the top of the page for information on how to order. Stampin’ Up will deliver to your door anywhere in Australia.

Happy Stampin’.

My Stamping Steam Train

It has been full steam ahead !

Here are some really poor photos from the paper arts festival. They were shot with a mobile phone.

The paper arts festival was a real hit ! We couldn’t believe how many people came and spoke to us at our stand and then called us and wanted to order supplies or come to workshops. We met lots of like minded souls!

Our first workshop was a huge hit! We had thirty people come and join us. I was so busy that I didn’t get a chance to take any photos and couldn’t believe the time went so quickly.

If you live in the Manning Valley you can come and join us – the first Saturday of every month. Bookings are essential as places fill fast.

Here is a much nicer photo for you to enjoy. This colourful little haven is part of my stamping studio.

Paper Arts Festival

2011 has begun with a bang!

I have been busily preparing for the local Paper Arts Festival. If you have found my website after seeing our stand, I am glad you have dropped by ! 

2011 is a going to be a great year for creativity. There are many workshops scheduled and we have finally secured a venue for our monthly stamping workshop. We will meet on the first Saturday of every month at one of our local clubs. If you live in the Manning Valley/ Great Lakes area and would like to come along, just check out the details under the Events heading on the right hand side.

Don’t you think this ‘Hoppy’ card is cute ? He is made using a variety of punches. Punches are a fabulous investment. There are thousands of ideas of how to use them.

This card is made using one of the FREE stamp sets that are ready for my customers who place a $100 order from now through to March. There are four different sets that you can get for free. This one is my favourite (well, today, anyway!)

Christmas Ornaments With A Twist

I’ll admit it! I am totally addicted to punches. I used to look at them in the catalogue and

think to myself, ‘well, that’s cute, but how many times would I need a {insert name} punch’.

Then, enter google images. I love that you can type the name of a punch into Google and see the thousands of ideas that can be made using that one punch.

Here are some ideas using the Christmas ornament punch.

Ohhhhh, cute little ornament fish!


What about an ornament vase ?

The ornament punch  ( 119847) is only $33.95 and can be used hundreds and hundreds of  times.

Email me if you need one. Orders ship directly to your door.
