3D items

Good morning all
I wanted to show you a some 3D items I made at a workshop last weekend. I had a lovely morning with Kylie and her lovely friends from work. We made a bag in a box and a sour cream container (although we call them Sunny Boy containers) using the Holiday Treasures designer series papers.

I also wanted to show you some Convention Packs I made for my team members who attended Convention here in Canberra on Friday and Saturday. I decorated notebooks using the new Designer Series Paper, ribbons, lace edge punch and the sticky cut letters and supernova fine glitter. They turned our really well and my girls loved them. Also included in the packs were a large bag of M&M's (a girls gotta have chocolate!) some mints, a pen and a pack of tissues.

We all had a fabulous time at convention and learnt lots of new things that I will be sharing with you over the coming weeks.

Happy stamping

Mother's Day Card

This is a card we made at a workshop today. It uses a new stamp set - Fresh Cuts - for the main image and the word stamp is from Occasional Greetings. The only colour used for cardstock, ink and ribbon is Elegant Eggplant. What you can't see from this image is the dazzling diamonds which cover the Crystanthemum flowers. Just the right amount of bling, to set off the card.

We also made an Easter basket with a rabbit made out of punches and the mandatory Easter egg of course! I had a very enjoyable afternoon with lovely ladies, thanks Sue!

I am waiting for my big order from the new catalogue to arrive. I am looking forward to playing with all the new products.

Thanks for stopping by

Bloom Away Cards

These are two cards made from the new stamp set "Bloom Away". The Waratah flower has Crystal Effects all over it which gives it dimension. This was one of the cards from my Tuesday class. The Gum Blossom card I made at Fiona's, one of my downlines, class tonight. Check out her blog at http://www.vineyardstamper.com/. I used the white gel pen to add specks to the gum blossom.

I am so excited that the new catalogue is now available for everyone. You can purchase a catalogue for $10 or $15 with postage to anywhere in Australia. Just email me to purchase.

I put an order in myself yesterday, so I am eagerly awaiting delivery so I can play with all the new products.

Happy stamping,

Roz

Swap

This is one of the lovely cards I received from a swap I was in for a demonstrator group. Diane Shaw made the card and I was so pleased to receive it. Diane has kindly given me permission to post it here for you all to enjoy. She has used the Heartfelt Thanks stamp set which I have had for a long time and this card has made me want to get it out again. Unfortunately the two half pearls beside the flower didn't scan very well but you will get the idea. The colours used are Pink Passion and Pretty in Pink. I really love this card.

cheers
