CQ Paperlover's Crew full day stamping retreat #6monthstampinggoals!!







Yesterday we held our first Full Day Stamping Retreat in Rockhampton and I'm really grateful for all the help I had in putting the day together. It was a great team effort by several of the demonstrators from my team - the CQ Paperlover's Crew. Thanks so much to Krissy Buck, Heather Latham, JoAnne Humphreys and Sharon Dalton who created samples, taught classes, arranged prizes, organised the catering and timing, and of course the setup and cleanup.
It was a great day and attended by new and old crafty friends who had come from quite a wide area in Qld - Brisbane, Buderim, Moura, Gogango, Biloela.....and Gracemere!!

It was a very hot day in CQ at 41degrees so being inside in the cool Air Conditioning stamping was a perfect escape from the heat.
Each participant went home with a goodie bag and 8 cards from 4 classes plus bits and bobs from the Product Playground, as well as a folded paper wallet they made, prizes and catalogues.
I hope everyone had fun learning a few new techniques and playing with new products.

















I challenged everybody to go home and write in one of the cards they made 
and post off a little paper hug to someone this week.
as my advertising sign at the markets says
"Don't post online, post something pretty"

 I'l be back in the next few days with photos of the samples we made!
thanks for looking, 

Liz

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
