My Favourite ‘Best of…’ Set!
I’ve loved the ‘Best Of…’ sets. Every month there’s been the excitement of welcoming back some past favourites – often in different dimensions to the original – and the rewards of a brand new themed stamp set.
My favourite set in this series – by far – has been Best of Butterflies. And the biggest butterfly in particular because it’s so much fun to watercolour.
Best of Butterflies (online)
(133345) $25.95
Available in clear mount only
*Never-before-seen image coordinates with
Elegant Butterfly Punch (item 127526).
Clear Block advice: D, C & B
So now that we’re in the final days of this almost year-long celebration I thought it would be a good time to showcase some of the fun ways I’ve been using this set since it was released last July.
Peekaboo Class card
Explosion Box closed

Washi Tape bookmark
Bouncing Brayer Starburst
And now my most recent Best of Butterflies project, a gatefold card with a Butterfly Belly Band:
And here’s a close up of my favourite butterfly in a glossy coat of Crystal Effects:
This picture shows the inside of the card, again making use of those colourful butterflies:
THE PRINTABLE PHOTO RECIPE CARD IS AVAILABLE TO MY NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS.
Subscribe for free today and let me know you’d like this one.
Finally, here’s an alternative version of the same card, with just a couple of minor changes. Can you spot the difference?
This time instead of coating the butterfly in Crystal Effects I gave it a subtle shimmer by painting Illuminate ink over the watercoloured butterfly.
Oh, and I changed the colour of the belly band!
All the ‘Best of…’ sets are only $25.95 (clear mount only) and will only be available until April 30th

What a way to celebrate a quarter of a century of stamping!
But now it’s time to say goodbye and all 11 sets will only be available for a few more days. This is your last chance to get them before they’re gone so here they are again, one last time:

Stampin’ Up! Teams Up With Project Life
Ooh exciting! Coming with the new Annual Catalogue in July is a new range of scrapbooking products. Stampin’ Up! have just announced that they’ve teamed up with the Queen of Simple Scrapbooking Becky Higgins. That means authentic Project Life products in exclusive Stampin’ Up! colours and designs! If you’re a Project Life convert I know you’ll be super excited by this news. If not, you soon will be!
Project Life is a process that is more about Memory Keeping than about traditional scrapbook layouts. It makes scrapbooking accessible to more people. It’s great for beginners and makes it faster and easier for experienced scrapaholics. It’s all about spending more time making memories and less time trying to work out how to scrapbook them! The basic idea is that you slip your photos into Photo Pocket Pages and surround them with designed cards for decorating, journalling and adding your own personal touches.
I haven’t tried this type of scrapbooking yet but I’ve been keeping an eye on it and waiting for the right time to give it a go. I’m thinking that time is coming pretty soon and I hope to show you more about it very soon.
Learn More About Project Life Here…
Cheers

His Awesomeness Had A Birthday
With a Wonder Hubby like mine there was no way I could overlook the fact that our current Occasions Catalogue has not one but two ‘Awesome’ word stamps. I’ve already used the Cool Kids set a bit but I hadn’t yet put ink to the new Rotary Stamp. So when it came time to make his Awesomeness a birthday card, it just had to appear on there somewhere:
Make Note This & That Rotary Stamp (Occasions p19)
(133370) $9.95
Wonder Hubby’s favourite animal is the wolf. Stampin’ Up! don’t currently have any wolf images and I don’t think they have done in all the years they’ve been in Australia. But they’ve certainly had some wolf images in past catalogues in the US. And conveniently enough His Awesomeness had managed to track down a set of ‘Wolf’ stamps which he gave to me as a gift last year. I wonder what he had in mind when he did that?
Far be it from me to disappoint him, so of course I used that set on his card. It’s a great image and so much fun to colour. Here’s the finished card:
Did you spot the frame made using the new Hardwood Stamp? I just can’t seem to put that one down at the moment!
And although we didn’t have a big gathering he still had to have a cake. I’m not sure what look I was going for with this one but I liked the colours!
This was my first time icing a cake with White Chocolate Ganache and I was a bit alarmed when it proceeded to keep on flowing off the cake. Rather than try to get in its way though I decided to let it pool into the cake plate and then incorporated it into the design. Did I get away with it?

APRIL CLASS – Easter Projects
Are you in the mood for Easter at long last?
This month there are three projects that work really well for the Easter season but can also be adapted for other occasions if creating Easter crafts isn’t high on your ‘must do’ list.
I’ve had to adjust my regular schedule a little this month so there’s no Friday class but I have added a Monday date by special request.
Monday 7th APRIL
10am – 1pm
NARRE WARREN
$20 per person
Children able to entertain themselves in the next room are welcome!
OR
Thursday 10th APRIL
8pm – 11pm

$20 per person
Here are the three projects in a little more detail. The first is a Card In A Box. I don’t know who originated this idea but everyone is giving them a go at the moment and I’ve had so many requests to do this as a class project I didn’t really have a choice. So here’s my take using the Backyard Basics bundle and some watercolouring:
These amazing cards can have a LOT of dimension…
…but they still fold flat and fit in a standard envelope:
The next project is super easy and takes just one sheet of paper from the 48 that come in the Fresh Prints Paper Stack (just $11.95!) This cute little caddy can hold a selection of mini-eggs or a larger one egg cup style. If you’ve having guests over for an Easter meal you can use them as place markers at your table. They’re so simple you’ll have enough made for everyone in no time.
Thanks to Sam Donald at Pootles for this innovative idea!
Both projects so far have featured the Backyard Basics Bundle:
Backyard Basics Bundle (p79)
Buy the Stamp Set & Framelits together and save 15%
Wood (132729) $72.95
Clear (132728) $65.25
Also sold separately
And the final project is a little more obviously an Easter one:
This card features the Eggstra Spectacular stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue (p32) and the Positively Chevron Background stamp from the Annual Catalogue (p126)
*ALL CLASS ATTENDEES CAN GET A $10 DISCOUNT ON THE CLASS FEE BY PLACING AN ORDER OF $100 OR MORE ON THE DAY
