Easter Blog Hop
I had so much fun last month I’ve joined in on another Art With Heart Blog Hop! This time the theme is Easter! A Hop for Easter, what a great idea!
If you’ve hopped over from the blog of Kathryn Manglesdorf, welcome! There are 11 of us in this hop – all from the Art With Heart team of demonstrators – and you’ll find the links to all the other blogs at the end of this post.
Easter always manages to sneak up on me, all of a sudden summer is over and Easter is here! But at least I was prepared this year – I’d already fallen in love with the For Peeps’ Sake stamp set in the new Occasions Catalogue:
For Peeps’ Sake (Occasions p34)
(137179) Wood Mount stamp set $42.95
(138557) Clear Mount stamp set $30.95
I’ve used this stamp set in all my creations for this hop. More and more people seem to be wanting to avoid having excessive chocolate in their households so I’ve concentrate my efforts on making cards. That way I can show people how much I care without adding to their sweetness overload!
First up I have a card I designed for one of my recent Create & Chat classes:
I loved the wavy look of the greeting and had to emphasise this by colouring it with markers in a wavy fashion.
I’m also a huge fan of chevrons for Easter. You’d have a hard job finding eggs wrapped like that in the shops now but it’s certainly a look we all associate with the patterns on Easter egg wrapping! For this card I added the chevron with the mighty Positively Chevron background stamp.
Positively Chevron (Annual Catalogue p175)
(130496) Wood Mount stamp set $30.95
(130499) Clear Mount stamp set $24.95
For my second project I had to make very good friends with my Stamp-a-ma-jig! Those eggs are actually from this single stamp that has 5 eggs in different patterns.
Although the different colours haven’t shown up very well on my photo, I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig and the masking technique to create my rows of eggs in 5 different colours!
I’m a big fan of the Stamp-a-ma-jig for getting the perfect placement of your stamps but even I have to admit when I was getting towards the end of all the eggs I was starting to get very nervous that I’d mess up and have to start all over again. Luckily my only mistake was quite early on the first time and this piece was second time lucky!
Stamp-a-ma-jig (Annual Catalogue p235)
(101049) $20.95
For my third cad I chose another time consuming but very rewarding technique – Paper Piecing. To create my three crazy chicks I stamped them out several times on different coloured paper and then fussy cut around each element and stuck them all back together to form the whole image. Just as well I love cutting! And that our Paper Snips are such super scissors!
And to head back to those fun Easter chevrons I used a piece of the Sweet Dreams Designer Series Paper:
Sweet Dreams DSP (Occasions Catalogue p39)
(137782) 12 sheets of 12″ x 12″ double-sided paper $18.95
Here’s a close up of those little cuties so you can see all the details in the paper piecing. Yes, I even cut out the dots on the egg pattern!
Finally, something much, much simpler to finish off. I did use the Stamp-a-ma-jig again to stamp my chevrons but with a clear mount stamp set you could probably get away with just eyeing it and getting them close enough. BTW, these are the same colours I used on my rows of eggs in the card above and they show up much better here as 5 separate colours!
When is an oval not an oval? When it’s an egg! It was super easy to cut out my egg with the Oval Framelits and the Big Shot and then sponge some ink around the edges to give it that 3D rounded look.
And if you’re wondering where those coloured chevrons came from, I used one of the stamps from the extremely versatile Work of Art set:
Work of Art (Annual Catalogue p165)
(134111) Wood Mount stamp set $51.95
(134114) Clear Mount stamp set $37.95
Apart from the chevrons did you spot the other common theme running through all four cards?
All four cards use Lost Lagoon as a card base – my new favourite Easter colour – it goes with EVERYTHING!
And three of the four cards also have the Soft Sky Cotton Twine from the Painted Blooms trio:
Painted Blooms Cotton Twine (Occasions p37)
(137873) 3 rolls in 3 colours, 9.2m each. $11.95
Well that’s it from me for this time, I hope you’ve enjoyed stopping by!

Occasions Catalogue Blog Hop
I’m really excited today to be participating in my first ever Blog Hop!
A Blog Hop is when a group of bloggers post a series of connected posts with an overall theme and you hop from blog to blog to see all the inspiration and ideas everyone has to share.
This hop is hosted by my upline’s Art With Heart team of Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. This is a very large team with members Australia-wide and it has been running since Stampin’ Up! first came to Australia. We have a very active team Facebook Group as well as in-person stamp days, challenges, card swaps, product shares and more.
I’ve been a demonstrator for over six years and I’ve been blogging for a while now but the timing has never been right for me to join in with a hop. Today is the day to change that!
This hop is all about products from our two new catalogues – the Occasions Catalogue and the Sale-a-bration catalogue! Click on the links in the sidebar to view these in pdf form, or let me know you want your own copy and I’ll pop one in the post.
Every $90 purchase = 1 one FREE Sale-a-bration product!
Remember, for every $90 you spend on fabulous Stampin’ Up! products from any of our catalogues during Sale-a-bration you’ll earn your choice of product from the Sale-a-bration catalogue for free! There are no limits and you have loads to choose from.
Starter Kit Value = $169 for $235 worth of product
PLUS 2 FREE Sale-a-bration products!
Better still, become part of this fun, friendly and supportive team and you’ll get to choose TWO Sale-a-bration freebies or 1 Occasions Project Kit in addition to the great value Starter Kit – just $169 for $235 worth of product! In addition to the support and events I provide, my team members can get fully involved in everything going on in the Art With Heart world as well! How’s that for a sense of belonging and connectedness!
It’s quick and easy to join online too. Ask me how!
Sale-a-bration offers must end March 31st!
Now on with the hop! A big hello and welcome if you’re already on your way and have come from the blog of Christine Gibbins. There’s plenty more to show you, and there are links to all the other blogs at the end of this post.
When I decided to join in with the Art With Heart team hop and knew that it was just before Valentine’s day I thought what better theme to tie the two things together than some sweetheart cards using the new Photopolymer stamp set Hello Life. It has some beautiful images and lovely sentiments perfect for creating projects to show how much you care.
My first project has a great big in-your-face red heart! And just in case you were missing the ‘love’ theme I added a strip of extra red hearts by using the Confetti Hearts Punch to cut heart-shaped holes in a piece of Basic Black cardstock and then mounted it on a Real Red backing panel. No subtlety here, just a big bold expression of love!
I took advantage of those sweeping lines in the script stamps by stamping them both on my background and my foreground.
(137415) $372.95
My second project is one I taught to the ladies who came to my team gathering this week. I wanted to show how it was possible to use the left-over bits on a Dimensionals sheet to create a shaker element of whatever size and whatever shape you like.
The shaker pieces are kept contained by a piece of clear Window Sheet, which I stamped on with StazOn to form part of my greeting. The ‘you’ comes from the new Hello You Thinlits dies on p31
Hello You Thinlits (Occasions p31)
(137363) 4 dies for $42.95
(Can be purchased in a bundle with Crazy About You stamp set)
Because the card base is Basic Black it will be very difficult to write on so I added a simple insert using a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped one of the other script images from the same set to tie the whole theme together and add a bit more interest to the starkness of the white.
And there’s that Confetti Hearts Punch at work again. This time to create my ‘shaker confetti’!
My final project is a variation on one of the cards I’m doing this week in my regular Monthly Class. It’s a quick and easy one that uses collage stamping to create this wonderful waterfall of hearts. My favourite script stamp is there again to provide some balance as it stretches across horizontally, and the whole thing has been given some dimension by raising one of the larger hearts up slightly and adding a little bit of bling.
The little circles stamp comes from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set:
Perpetual Birthday Calendar (Occasions p17)
(137167) Photopolymer stamp set $41.95
And although I didn’t manage to use this in any of my projects I wanted to finish up by highlighting this amazing stamp from the Hello Life set. For me it just really sums up what being part of this team and a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator means to me!
Let’s keep this blog hop hopping. Next up we have some gorgeous creations from my lovely friend Nikki Sadler

I loved my classes this month!
This month’s class was a Christmas stamp-a-stack with everyone making eight cards. There was lots to keep everyone busy as they made two each of these two designs…
We used lots of my favourite products and everyone liked the projects. I always enjoy teaching classes but this month I had a particularly good time for a number of reasons. First and foremost, both classes had lovely groups of ladies, including new faces among the regular crowd, and everyone enthusiastically approached the production line tasks and chatted merrily away the entire time. Thank you all for being so much fun to spend time with!
On the first night Jenni accidentally got a smudged silver fingerprint on one of her cards. Instead of being worried about it or cross that it had happened she approached it like I do – as a design opportunity. She decided to cover the smudge with more stamping so I grabbed some more snowflakes and she stamped a new border around the edge of the panel. This was a classic case of a ‘mistake’ leading to a design choice that you end up liking more than the original. These are all Jenni’s cards, the ones on the left have the extra stamping, the ones on the right are my original design that now look like they have something missing.
I told the ladies at the second class about this and they all decided that Jenni’s addition was better and they ended up stamping borders around all of theirs. Thanks Jenni, you can smudge your stamping in my classes any time!
I can’t wait for my December classes now. They’ll be at 8pm on Thursday 11th, and 10am on Friday 12th December. More details coming soon.
Cheers

A White Christmas in Melbourne!
It was for us! His awesomeness outdid himself this year creating a winter wonderland with a view of snow from every window, four large Christmas trees (and 3 small ones) and over 3000 twinkling lights.
Wonder Hubby had volunteered (yes, volunteered) to host my family’s Christmas Day gathering this year, with over 40 people, and he was determined to do it right. Being an insomniac, most of the work was done at night and there were many mornings where me and the boys would awake to the sight of something new appearing either inside the house or out. The results were amazing!
But what really blew me away was this video, recorded on Christmas Eve, just after Father Christmas had visited:
Can you tell he feels just a tad guilty about emigrating from the UK and being away from his family at this time of year? I hope they enjoyed his little glimpse into Christmas at Gifford HQ, oh and the dozens of photos he uploaded to Facebook throughout the day too!
I hope you all had as wonderful a time as I did and are now equally enjoying the ‘recovery’ too!

Santa’s List Pop Up Projects 2
Here I am, back with another Stamp Club project featuring Santa’s List.
You can find the first one here.
This time the project was both a card and a box all at the same time!
It looks simple enough all tied up and flat…
But when you take off the ribbon and gently pull it open… SURPRISE…there’s Santa poking out of the chimney!
Once again, he was watercoloured using an Aquapainter and ink pads. And there’s enough room behind him to add some tags, a gift card or even a small gift.
This Box Card is much easier to make than it looks. You use a single piece of A4 cardstock and no adhesive. Once you get the folds in place and your decorations on, it turns this…
Into this…
Here are the details of the stamp set again:
Santa’s List (Holiday p31)
Wood (131808) $27.95
Clear (131811) $21.95
Merry Christmas to you and your families.
Have a wonderful, jolly time!
