Stamp a Stack Sunday Part 4

This was the final card for my Stamp A Stack - this was my favourite - I just loved the wee bows! Loved it so much I created 25 of them for my team's recent training to swap.

Stamp sets: Tree Trimmings, Occaional Greetings
Ink: Real Red, Sahara Sand
Paper: Kraft, Very Vanilla, Real Red
Other: Corner rounder, Scallop edge punch, 3/16" hand held punch, linen thread, mini glue dots, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Stamp-a-ma jig.

Yes we still are selling a corner rounder - it was left out of the catalogue but can be purchased for $15.95.

And only a 135 pieces to cut for this card. Well that's my Christmas Stamp a Stack for 2009. I'm sure all the ladies that attended are well on there way to having their Christmas cards to go as they all made 20 on the day.

Quick Report from the Auckland Regional Training

It's hard to believe it's the middle of the week and I haven't blogged for awhile but I'm going to blame the lovely Trudi who started up NZSU blog and got me blogging - she has now gone and got me hooked on Farmville and Crystal Age on Facebook (sure the excitement will wear off but all my friend's farms are so much prettier than mine!).

Anyhow back to regional demonstrator training on Saturday, it was great to catch up with so many (51 in total attending) and the event was held at the very lovely Parnell Rose Gardens function centre.

One of the really neat things about when us demos get to together is we swap cards.

I used the card I created for the Corrosive Challenge 22 for my swaps (all 32 of them) and this time around the lucky recipients either got it with Ruby Red or More Mustard brads (which looked a bit Pumpkin Pie'sh) from the Earth Elements set (200 brads - 50 of 4 colours for $19.95).

These are the cards I received from my lovely downline (the WOW paperKRafters).

From Janine Pearce: a delightful wee bag of Hershey's kisses - with a cute Boho Blossoms tag - very yummy they were in my tum too!

From Debbie Lamb: a Snow Swirled meets Bella Rose DSP card.

From Clare Stirling: a silver embossed Tree Trimmings card- stunning in it's simplicity.

From Sally Williams: a really cute Christmas tag card using one of my favourite Christmas sets Winter Post

 

From my dear friend Judy Beetson - guest and honorary WOW paperKrafter for the day a Gift Card holder using Priceless, Best Yet and the very yummy Tea Party DSP

Be back later after I've harvested a few more crops and done some more quests with some more goss. So ciao for now.

Very pretty Christmas baubles

Tree Trimmings is perfect for a quick Christmas card or even to decorate a scrapbook page & it's only $28.95 for set of 4. Lucky me has received a few special demo swaps & I'm sure one of these ideas will be used in my Christmas Stamp-a-stack afternoon (details in my upcoming September monthly newsletter).

The first swap I received was from Debbie Lamb which I've already blogged HERE. But here it is again:


At my team swap last week I received another 2 cards & one tag using this set. I love all FOUR of them that I have received! Thanks gals.

From Jacque AKA Stamp Happy NZ:


From Rachel AKA Knight Stamper:


From Kelly AKA Kelly Stamps:


Now didn't I say they were very pretty & wasn't I right & it's only 3 months and 2 days to the big day so better start planning your card real soon.

Getting ready for Christmas?

Yes the spring mini has Christmas stamps & this is the swap I received from Debbie Lamb using the soon to be released Tree Trimmings stamp set - in traditional Christmas colours green & red but as I'm in love with Kiwi Kiss I think this is traditional but modern teaming it up with Riding Hood Red. Love my card Debbie - very inspirational!

My team the WOW paperKRafters is holding a Christmas in August event the last Saturday in August - so let us help you get ready for Christmas, I hate to say it - it's not that far away.
