Stampin’ Up! – Haiti Disaster

From now until 28 February 2010, $22 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp sold, will be donated to the American Red Cross’ Haiti Reflief and Development Fund, ($2 by Stampin’ Up and $20 from me when you buy the package for $110)!. This stamp set also matches our two heart punches (both $30.95 each) – one punch is a large heart, the other punch is 3 hearts on the one punch that lines up on the top left image in the flyer.
The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need. Product Name Item # Price I {Heart} Hearts 117715 $42.95.
In the past, when terrorists attacked the Twin Towers, when a tsunami struck Indonesia, when a hurricane destroyed New Orleans, and when wildfires ravaged Australia, Stampin’ Up! demonstrators have stepped forward and showed their commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. This time is no different.

Not only will SU donate $2 to the Haiti appeal, I will also donate my full commission from the package, all up around $22 each package sold!

Last chance to subscribe to Summer “Kit by Mail”!!
Firstly I have to share with you the last few days.
Nicholas (DS4) had to have his tonsils and adenoids removed. Well, just after surgery, the Australian Open ‘cup’ and Nicole Bradtke (nee Pratt) and Todd Woodbridge were visiting the kids ward. They stopped by to say hello. Nic had no idea, but thought the cup was pretty cool! It made Nanna’s day (she’d just dropped in for an hour or two), she loves tennis!! Nicholas is home and recovering well. Poor little possum!

Boxes, and more boxes

Don’t you love this little ’santa’ box? My girl firend made me one of these last year, so I decided to try and make my own this year. It’s made out of punches (the santa itself), and the box is simply a ‘triangle’ box which is scored and folded. Colours are real red, blossum and whisper white. The button is one out of earth elements which I have ‘painted’ with my black stampin’ up marker.
The black ribbon is ‘velvet’ out of one of the speciality ribbon packs. My hostess from Sunday’s workshop scored this one. I think she loved it too!
This is one of the ‘make n takes’ we made at the workshop. It’s a box made out of a 12 x 12 piece of paper, cut and folded into a box, with lids that come up from the side and join at the top.
Here’s one of the other make n takes we did.. snowman card. Colours are Baja breeze, chocolate chip and whisper white. Stamps are from ‘Punches Pals’ and of course lots of different punches were used!
The photo is pretty average, I better go back and take another!

I’ve got a number of things I want to share with you.
This first one, I stumbled across at Jackie Thomas’ website. She inspired me to make my own!! These are so cute. I’m thinking of making some for pressies this year. I’ve put together my own tutorial, with step by step photos. It only takes 1 piece of 12 x 12 cardstock (plus decorations!)

Wedding / Engagement cards..

One of the guys from work asked if I could create a ’stylish’ wedding card’ for his friend’s wedding. He said they have a butterfly theme, so I thought I’d try and incorporate a butterfly. The ’swirl’ is from Baroque Motifs ($39.95), the butterfly is a stamp from the current mini catalogue. Colours are black and gold metallic. I have also used gold embossing powder. I love the raised effect that embossing gives.

The second card is very similiar. Here I’ve used the ‘cake’ out of ‘Fun and Fast Notes’ ($58.95). It is one of the many stamp sets that you receive if you join as a demonstrator. The ‘now and forever’ is out of “occasional greetings” ($60.95).

The third one is quite similar to the others. It’s using the baroque motifs, and butterfly stamps as described above, plus I have used a definition stamp from “Lifes Definitions” ($90.95). This looks great ebossed too!! The Life’s Definitions stamp set has lots of special words and their definition. Great for scrapbooking, and cardmaking alike! The black ribbon is from a special ribbon pack called “Ribbon Originals” ($24.95). The gold cord is a retired product which is no longer available.
Birthday & Thank you cards

Hope you’re not getting sick of seeing my “Crazy for Cupcakes” birthday cards! I love this set. I love the combination of pink pirouette and baja breeze.
Don’t forget, if you want to hear about exciting updates and offers, and the chance to win some free blog candy, sign up to my newsletter (just to the right).

My mum rang me Saturday night and asked if I could make a number of thank you cards for mum to send from the family, after the passing of her mum, my grandma.
We were visiting her the following morning, so I had around 2 hours to design and make countless cards. I’ve used the stamp set “fresh cuts” which also includes this lovely ‘thank you’ stamp. I have used close to cocoa and very vanilla. I also stamped the envelopes with one of the stamps in the set.
