Doing the 2-Step in a Cottage Garden

Published by under cards | Jul 19 2010

Hi there 🙂 Welcome, and thanks for stopping by my blog today.

I know I've gone on and on about this Cottage Garden stamp set here on my blog… but I just love this set! LOL

Today's card share is a really pretty yet simple layout using Cottage Garden and featuring the delicious Rich Razzleberry, Pale Plum and Old Olive colours. A beautiful combo!

We're doing this card at a workshop this week (wave to Tanya and friends). Hmm, I think I might even add a touch of Dazzling Diamonds glitter. Yep, off to do that now.

Bargain Alert: Cottage Garden is 20% off until the end of July! How great is it that we can get this set for less than $20 for the unmounted version!

Happy stamping,

I love this little birdy from the Cheep Talk set. He's cute, and this stamp set is so easy to work with. And it's currently 20% off as part of this month's Two Step Stamp special! We are using this set at workshops during July (see cards below), and it's popular with everyone – beginners and experienced stampers alike. Here are a couple of simple cards perfect for beginners. They use the same supplies, but one is landscape layout and the other is portrait.

I love how this little guy even looks great as a simple no layer card…

I haven't had a chance to update you on our fab Team Day which was on Saturday. Our little country town didn't know what hit it. 😉 We had a lot of visitors that day all in the name on Stampin' Up! with team members coming from NSW, from the other side of Melbourne, and lots of other regional towns in Victoria. I'm so amazed that our 'little' group of EurekaStampers now number 50, and what a lovely group it is.

This is my fave photo, even though it cuts a few of us out ;( 
(but oh it was fun to watch Debbie jump up on the table to take this shot).

 

We did our own version of Prize Patrol (door prizes/lucky numbers), did Make & Takes using new stamps from the yet-to-be-released 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue, swapped and generally had a lovely time. My favourite was watching some of the girls in our team get up and do demonstrations and interesting techniques. Lots of "wows" there!

We don't often get the chance to see each other face to face so it's always special when that happens. Thanks girls for making it a great day.

Stop press: You still have time to join Stampin' Up! while the Starter Kit is only $259 (from 1st of August it will be back to $324, which is still a bargain mind you) More info here. Join up with me or one of the team members in my group and you can join us at our next team day!

 

We are nearly at the end of school holidays here in Victoria – and it's cold and freezing. We've got both our open fires crackling away and the central heating on too! It's been great to spend extra time with the kids although I think we're *all* ready for school to go back on Monday! I'll be back to regular blogging again from next week.

Happy stamping,

July Special: 20% off Two Step Stamps

Published by under cards | Jul 01 2010


Click on the flyer above to download your own copy (remember to check that you're looking at AUS prices).

I LOVE doing the two step with Stampin' Up! stamps, so 20% off two step stamps sure sounds like a great deal to me! It's fantastic to see two images work together to create a whole new look. If you'd like to see how these work, just contact me today and we can book a workshop with a Two Step stamp theme!

Oooh and did you notice on the flyer the little asterisks? (**) They show you which of the discounted stamps are retiring in less than two months (which means they will NOT be available in the next catalogue). If these great stamps are on your wish list then now is the perfect time to place your order before they are no longer available.
