May 2018 Class – Birthday Wishes for You
I held three classes last week featuring the Birthday Wishes for You stamp set.
Thank you to all who came, we had a fun time creating together. Instead of a lucky door prize, everyone got to take the stamp set home!
The cards we made were cased from Anna Wheaton and Bec Ross. We showcased the stamp set using 3 different techniques.
This first card uses the Stained Glass Technique.
The sentiment is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder. The wording is then coloured using Stampin’ Blends.
Since many adhesives show through vellum, we used 4 glue dots to attach it to the card front, then they were hidden with Rhinestones coloured with Stampin’ Blends.
Products used in this project:
The second card we made used the Watercolour Background Technique.
We embossed the card first using Copper Embossing Powder.
The background uses Bermuda Bay and Lemon Lime Twist ink ‘swooshed’ on with an Aqua Painter. When this was dry, we used the darker ink by picking it up with the Aqua Painter and flicking it onto the project.
Products used in this project:
The third card was made using the Patchwork Technique.
This is great for using up pieces of off-cuts you may have. The pieces measured 3cm x 8.5 cm and they were stuck onto a Whisper White piece (10cm x 14.3cm). Then the greeting was stamped and the white accents were stamped on scrap, fussy cut (fancy word for: cut out using scissors) then they were popped up on Dimensionals. The ribbon was attached, then the front was attached to the card base.

The fourth card was inspired by Su Morh.
With Mother’s Day approaching, there was the option of making two cards. These cards were made by texture embossing vellum and die cutting words from the Celebrate You Thinlits set.
Some of my customers wanted a third option, so we improvised and substituted the greetings using the Happy Birthday from the Birthday wishes for You! This also worked well 😍
This class was outstanding value for $25 as everyone received the Birthday Wishes for You stamp set valued at $21.
I hope you enjoyed this selection of cards. If you would like to join us for our next class, please contact me on 0403 305 785 or email me.
Here’s my little helper Keith hard at work, helping me set up for class 😍

Petal Perfection
A little birdie told me that this gorgeous bundle is carrying over into the new annual catalogue! While the stamp set and coordinating dies are continuing, the paper, unfortunately, is not.
[ngg_images source=”galleries” container_ids=”14″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow” gallery_width=”800″ gallery_height=”800″ cycle_effect=”fade” cycle_interval=”5″ show_thumbnail_link=”0″ thumbnail_link_text=”[Show thumbnails]” order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]
So before it’s too late, Stampin’ Up! wanted to feature this bundle with its divine paper. This bundle can work for any occasion, but it’s the perfect time of year to use it to create beautiful sentiments for the women in your life for Mother’s Day.
Happy stamping,

Alaskan Achievers Blog Hop April 2018 – Stampin’ Up!® Onstage events
Welcome to our Alaska Achievers Blog hop for April.
This is my second Blog Hop which I have the privilege of taking part in. Demonstrators from all around the globe have earned the incredible Stampin’ Up!® incentive cruise to Alaska this year including myself! It’s now less than 2.5 months until my husband Wade and I leave for this incredible experience.
You will be inspired by all these amazing, creative people. This month we are sharing some Ideas from Stampin’ Up!® Onstage events that we attended. I went to Luna Park in Sydney.
Here is a sneak peek of things to come from the new catalogue that is launched on 1 June. If you’d like a copy of the catalogue, please email me.
I have made two cards using bonus products that we received in our spoils at OnStage. Both are made using beautiful new note cards and envelopes as well as the gorgeous new Delightfully Detailed laser cut DSP which is very vanilla on one side and whisper white on the other.
On my first card I used the very vanilla side. This DSP is SO beautiful that I let it shine. I just used minimal greetings and embellishments to finish the card off. The new Rich Razzleberry velvet ribbon is stunning. I coloured the rhinestones with matching Stampin’ Blends.
To finish the card off, I added an insert and stamped it with the matching Oh So Eclectic stamp set and I also stamped the envelope to complete the set.
With the second card, I used the reverse whisper white side of the laser cut DSP.
Once again, I kept it simple with another new cute new polka dot ribbon. For the leaves in silver and Rich Razzleberry, I used the leaf punch. I embossed the greeting in silver and added a stamped/embossed embellishment tying the leaf theme together.
Once again, to finish off the card, I stamped the insert and envelope to match.
This last card isn’t my design, it was one of my favourite make and takes at OnStage. I just added an additional Rich Razzleberry layer as the base to create a little extra contrast. How pretty is the DSP on this one?!
I can’t share a carousel today, you’ll need to stay tuned for the NEW catalogue coming 1 June!
OnStage is so much fun! I had an amazing time with my team as well as lots of other demonstrators. We have the privilege of learning new things, have an amazing time crafting and get our hands on the new coming catalogue.
If you want to join in on the fun, please join my team.
Thanks for visiting my blog today. You’re currently on my blog aMac by Angela McFarlane and further down this post you will see a list of everyone that’s taking part. Check the list below to see who is up next. Make sure you visit everyone so you don’t miss out on some amazing inspiration and creativity.

April 2018 Class – Lovely Wishes
For this week’s class I featured the Lovely Wishes stamp set , which I was given to do a live presentation at OnStage last November.
We had a fun class learning 2 step stamping. This is a very forgiving set as the second step images don’t have to line up precisely. Lovely Wishes is a great set as it has sentiments and images to use to make a complete project. We used every single stamp in the set!
We made a greeting card along with a cute mini pizza box which we filled with four matching mini cards and envelopes. This can be uses as a great gift to give someone special.
