Hope you’ve had a great weekend and ready to start the new week with a big smile and lots of enthusiasm! (Who said Monday’s have to be bad?)
Here are some great cards that were created by some of the talented demonstrators in my team – the EurekaStampers. We come from all over the country, including regional Victoria, Melbourne, NSW and WA. We love sharing ideas and keeping each other inspired!
This first card was created by Wendy from Bendigo. It features the Vintage Vogue stamp set, and Very Vintage wheel. I love what Wendy did with the Rich Razzleberry ribbon.
Debbie from Creswick created this next one. What an interesting fold! I haven’t seen a card like this before but I love the look of it.

Kate from Gordon made this great sparkly card featuring the Top Note die and new Melon Mambo cardstock and ink. The base has great texture – thanks to the Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Big Shot. There’s lots of Dazzling Diamonds glitter on this card, but it doesn’t show up in the photo too well.
Julz from Newman, WA, made this fun bird card using the new Two-Step Bird punch. This punch is like 3 punches in one! The bird, the branch and the wing can be used together or separately to create loads of different looks.
I’ll post the rest of the cards later in the week.
Check back tomorrow for final details of my next class in Creswick, Vic…. pencil it in your diaries: Sunday 2nd of May. Less than two weeks to go, but still enough time to register.
Happy stamping,
Hi there! I'm back today with a great little technique to use with outline stamps when you don't feel like colouring. This is Paper Piecing!
It's an effective technique…. simply stamp your image once on the base card and again on DSP, cardstock or other decorative paper (hey, you could even make your own with stamps and ink!). Trim the second piece carefully on – or just inside – the line, and adhere this to the base card.
I made a whole bunch of these last week to send to the demonstrators on our EurekaStampers team forum, and it was so much fun!!
Here is a brunette version of Tess.
And if you want to see how she was put together, here it is in just a few simple steps!

I added heels to this Tess 😉
And here is Tess's wardrobe. DD6 and I mixed and matched her outfits.
And some of the finished cards…
Tote-ally Tess is one of the stamp sets now available in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalouge in your choice of wood-mounted OR clear-mounted! If you are a customer of mine you should have received your own copy of the Mini by now – if not just email me and I'll pop one in the post for you.
And finally (phew, this is a long post!!) here's a close up of the tags which were punched out with the super cute new Jewelery Tag punch.
Check back over the weekend to have a look at some fabulous cards that I received from our team card swap. Soooo many great ideas!
Till then, happy stamping!
