2018-2019 ANNUAL CATALOGUE LAUNCH

On the weekend I had my first ever catalogue launch.

The launch gave some of my customers a chance to not only get the new Annual Catalogue into their hands but gave them an opportunity to see and touch some of the new products in person.

We played a few games, formulated wish lists, admired the catalogue, had some laughs and everyone went home with a prize from the new catalogue.

I displayed a few sample projects from some of the suites  so everyone could get some ideas of how the products could work for them. 

We even had a couple of make and takes, because we can't talk about a crafting catalogue without actually doing some crafting, right??

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

SCREEN CARD

With so many different types of card folds out there, my to-do list is amazingly long. Screen cards were huge on the internet last year and I have finally got around to making my first one. Better late than never they say.

Here is my first screen card which uses Touches of Texture.

My screen card has four sections which are all 7cm wide. This allows for the opportunity to have multiple pictures.

TAG TUESDAY #1

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

This blog post is the first in a series that I have named, Tag Tuesday. Tags are a very recent addition to my crafting experience. With a combination of inspiration from an amazing crafter, Bobby Fort, and a wonderful opportunity, I have taken up being a guest on a Swap Design Team for Aussie Crafters. I have had the concept of Altered Tags thrust upon me. So why not make this into a regular Tuesday series, at least for awhile. I hope you have fun checking out my work, that is outside my norm and my comfort zone, but still so much fun.

Here is the first tag I have to share with you. This one is a grungy Dragonfly Dreams tag.

I used one of the thinlits from the Eastern Medallions set to cut out shapes in the Very Vanilla cardstock to allow some of the colour to poke through.

Happy Father's Day - from the Wetlands

Time to start making Father's Day cards.

Here in Australia Father's Day is on Sunday the 6th of September. I will be interstate, with no craft supplies. Not exactly sure how I will survive, but I'm sure the kids and activities will keep me busy. So before I go away, Father's Day cards will be on the agenda. This one was made with my Dad in mind. I hope you like it.

To make this card I took inspiration from this week's Stamp, Ink and Paper Challenge. This week wasn't a sketch or colour swatch, but a photo to give you your inspiration. There is so many directions you could go with this challenge. I chose to use the colours as my inspiration.



I used a couple of stamp sets to create this card. I love using the paint wash image from the Work of Art stamp set to create a background. It makes a very simple but yet affective looking card.



No glitz or bling for this Father's Day card, just simple ink and card to add a bit of colour.
