2018 SALE-A-BRATION & OCCASSION CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP

I love this time of year - Sale a Bration!

FREE products, new catalogues and bonus rewards, what more could I want - a blog hop of course! 

So on that note, welcome to the Crazy Crafters 2018 Sale-a-Bration & Occassions catalogue blog hop. You are in for a treat. Follow the whole hop around and you will have the chance to see some amazing projects and get some inspiration. 

I thought I would share another project with my (current) favourite stamp sets - Beautiful Peacock! I made this card for a wonderful friend (look away now Ellen). I didn’t send her a birthday card late last year as nothing I made was right, so I am sending this one instead. 

I love this colour combination - Lemon Lime Twist, Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay. I did do a little bit of fussy cutting of the peacocks body, but it’s a pretty easy cut and gives it some dimension. 

One of the wonderful aspects of making your own cards is that you can create them to your taste, so remember to add a little something to the inside of your card. 

I hope you enjoy the remainder of the  blog hop.

BEAUTIFUL PEACOCK - #GDP120

After a long blogging break, and an even longer break from entering challenges, I thought it would be fun to play along with the latest Global Design Project challenge.

Here is my entry.

Inspiration can come from many places, from photos, scenery, clothing, nature and the like. This time, the inspiration is from Krista's card. I used not only her layout, but also her colour palette.

I love the way the Soft Sky, Gold and White remind me of elegance and relaxation. I choose not to have a sentiment on my card. This will allow me to have versatility and use the card for an almost endless amount of purposes.

For this card I used the FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set - Beautiful Peacock. You are able to receive this set for FREE by spending over $90 AUS in any order between now and March 31, 2018.

Measurements:

Whisper White Card Base 21 x 20cm, scored at 10.5cm
Larger Whisper White Layer 9.5 x 14cm7
Smaller Whisper White Layer 8 x 12.5cm
Inside Whisper White Layer 9.5 x 14cm
Scraps of Whisper White and Soft Sky



To order any of the products used to make my project, go to my SHOP NOW button on the side bar which will take you to my online store.

I run regular classes from the Western suburbs of Melbourne. I can show you how to make this, or any other project at your own party, which can either be held online via Facebook or in person. Contact me to arrange a time and to learn more about the benefits of being a hostess at your own party.

SO VERY MUCH

One of my favourite things to do is to make customer thank you cards.

I made this one today with one of the background pieces I made yesterday when I was trying out spritzing. The colours of reinkers I placed in the bottle to create this were Rose Red with Crushed Curry. I then spritzed some Wink of Stella over the top.

The sentiment comes from the So Very Much stamp set which is available for FREE during Sale-a-Bration, with every order over $90AUS. This offer is only valid for 7 more days!!!

The circle decorations in the corners are from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set which is  in the 2016-2017 Annual catalogue.

Thank you for joining me today,

INSIDE THE LINES SALE-A-BRATION

Only 14 more days left of Sale-a-Bration!!!!

Only 14 more days for you to earn FREE products or to make the most of the joining special.

One of the first things I choose during Sale-a-Bration was the Inside the Lines Designer Paper. I earned it for FREE with a purchase of $90.  The moment I saw the catalogue, I just had to have it. The Inside the Lines Designer Paper uses an adult colouring art for its concept.

This time I used Stampin' Write markers to colour the paper. I used three colours to create this design.

The sentiment for this card comes from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set.

I used Bermuda Bay, Smokey Slate and Basic Black in this card. I love how these colours work together. Once I started putting this card together I knew straight away who it was for and stamped my sentiment accordingly. Now to get it to them :)

Thanks for joining me today,
Rosalie

Avant-Garden: Sale-a-Bration

Having a play with my FREE Avant-Garden stamp set and Irresistibly Floral DSP.

I usually colour the irresistibly floral papers but this time I decide to leave it white. Due to the embossing, which is part of the papers, it provides texture without me having to do anything. This paper is perfect for the time-poor crafter.

This stamp set is so easy to use. One of the stamps in the set is a group of spots, which makes a great background and adds texture to the look of the card. I used one of the flowers in the set as the focal point.

The Avant-Gardeen stamp set is FREE during Sale-a-Bration! All you have to do is place an order of $90AUS or more during the Sale-a-Bration period and chose it as your FREE gift, only while stocks last.

During my holidays (yep I actually took a few weeks off from classes), I have been playing with lots of new sets and learning how to use some of the new products, I will share these with you over the coming weeks.
Take a look at the new catalogue and let me know what you think. My favourite is the new water colour pencils which match our inks, paper and double-sided paper. I LOVE how everything co-ordinates.

Wedding love

Once again I decided to have a play with the Pedal Pusher stamp set. Yes, I am loving this set at the moment. This time I have created a wedding or anniversary card.

I love how bold the real red and black combination is. The little hearts are just so cute, so of course I added Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to give my card some sparkle.

My inspiration for today's card comes from this week's challenge at Global Design Project.

Love!!!

Now thinking of my love and what he loves. Stampin' Up! are yet to do a Nutella stamp, so I went with icecream. Chocolate of course!

Now since icecream is so special, this called for special treatment. I put crystal effects on "LOVE" and the icecream, giving it that little pop I was looking for.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with our speical guest - Connie Stewart

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop for November. This month we are focusing on Sale-a-Bration products. We hope you find great inspiration from the projects.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Rosalie Desmond or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup towards the bottom, will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

This month we have another guest stamper - Connie Stewart!!! I can't believe how lucky we are to have her joining us on our hope today. Thank you so much Connie for joining us today. Her designs and tutorials are such an inspiration. If you are not familiar with Connie's blog, I suggest you put it on your to-do list, once you have finished hopping. Once again a huge thank you goes out to Kylie Bertucci  for giving the Crazy Crafters this opportunity.


For today's card I have teamed up one of my favoritue stamp sets - Gorgeous Grunge, with a new Sale-a-Bration set - Botanicals for you.

Botanicals for you is available for free during sale-a-bration when you spend $90. I love this set. The sentiment is big and bold, while the floral accents contrast in size.

For this card I have only used the sentiment from Botanicals for you as I am needing a male card so I did not add the flowers but decided to grab some splotches from gorgeous grunge.
