Vintage Vogue


From scrapbooking now to card making. My favourite colour match has always been pinks and purple combos. Here is a very feminine card I helped my friend Leanne create for her Mum's birthday recently. The Very Vanilla base is stamped with Pale Plum (retiring in 5 days!) using the lovely 'branch flourish' from the Vintage Vogue set in the Autumn Winter mini.

Then we have used a strip of darker card as a mat for the using the Always in Bloom Stampin Wheel. Wheels are so much fun and can make great borders, quick (and economical) patterned paper or make a feature like on this card.  The flowers were stamped, cut by hand and popped using Stampin Dimensionals.

Its a nice touch to stamp inside your card, decorate and bring the insert to life a little, and don't forget your envelope needs a matching print. Mum's love anything "homemade" - apparently Leanne's Mum and her 4 year old daughter loved it.


Card Recipe:
Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Always in Bloom Wheel
Card: Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry
Inks: Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant
Accessories: A few pearls from my stash, fancy scissors 

There is only 5 days left to order from the current catalogue and the Autumn Winter mini, which also means we are counting down to the release of Stampin' Up!s brand new 2011 Idea Book and Catalogue. So many nice new designs, colours and accessories, and some lovely fresh ideas that have already given me more inspiration and the 'itch' to get crafting. If you would like your own copy of the new catalogue just let me know and I will get one to you next week - just $10 if you can pick up from me or $14 delivered to your door (usually $12.95 + $5.95 postage and handling).

I'll be holding my next Sunday Scrappin afternoon on 12th September so please email me if you would like to come along.

Sharing the Simply Scrappin fun!

Last Sunday I held another scrapbooking workshop at my place and shared lots of Stampin' Up! fun with a group of keen scrappers. My Mum was working on her travel photos, Kath is making her Nanna's life story album for her 75th birthday and Karen has just started creating an album for son for when he turns 16. Here are Karen's first ever double layout pages using Stampin' Up!s Hoppy Memories Simply Scrappin Kit. 


And a close up......


So much fun, good thearpy and such a great way to preserve fond memories of your loved ones, and what a special gift!

The Simply Scrappin Kits are great for beginners and can create fast pages as they are all coordinated so you  can mix and match to your heart's content. No more searching for matching colours! They team up 8 sheets 12 x 12 cardstock (in 4 colours), 6 sheets matching Designer Series Paper (in 4 patterns) and 6 sheets sticky die cuts to use for journalling, borders and embellishments. Great value at just $36.95 - enough for a whole album. Until the end of August the I Wish Simply Scrappin Kit is reduced to just $27.71 perfect for all those Christmas projects.

If you'd like to order any stamping or scrapbooking supplies just email me or call me on 02 9684 6443 or 0408 472 510. All August orders over $30 receive a free cardstock sampler (6 sheets A4).

I'm off to continue creating Sophie's Scrapbook using the gorgeous Rock a Bye Girl Simply Scrappin kit. Gotta love all those cute baby pages!

take care

Carolyn xx

Bargain hunters heaven


OK the Last Chance List is soooo long and its hard to find the products that are reduced in price, so after requests from a few bargain hunters, aka discerning crafty buyers, we have pulled the discounted items into a neat little list (thanks to my StampInkPaper buddy Ryn!)


Here is our Last Chance Discount List which lists all the current specials on some gorgeous craft supplies. Think Christmas cards, think gifts, think savings! Some products are sold out and more are running low in stock so please get me your order as soon as you work it out, and definitely by the 30th August. A little birdie tells me the price of cardstock is soon to rise so it may be wise to stock up and get the discount.

Looking forward to my next Scrapbooking Workshop this Sunday woo-hoo!! My ladies are planning their pages and will complete a number of layouts on the day plus bag themselves plenty of ideas, products and be in the draw for a few lucky door prizes! Let me know if you are interested in comng to another card or scrapbook workshop and I can schedule a suitable time.


Have a sunny week

Love Carolyn xx

Helping Hudson: A Wheely Great Cause



What Is Helping Hudson?



Helping Hudson is a fundraising project that will be taking place from August 1st - 22nd.

A group of stampers are raising funds for a little boy named Hudson. A KidWalker will help him learn to walk, and take another step toward more independence.

The dedicated Heping Hudson team have put together bundles of tutorials from Stampin' Up! demonstrators near and far who've jumped on board to help, plus there'll be challenges and giveaways. I've just bought the Scrapbooking Tutorials very excited!

Knowing personally just how essential it is to have the right set of wheels, may I ask all my cratfy friends to help support Hudson and his family by visiting his blog, facebook page, entering a challenge or even buying a tutorial package - what a great concept and super value!

Thank you in advance for any support you can give towards the Helping Hudson project, and thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you enjoy a crafty weekend.

Love Caz xx

Last Chance List - retiring products and discounts


Stampin' Up! has just released its Last Chance List of retiring products - some are discounted up to 50% so check it out and get in quick while stocks last.

Here is the full list

None of these products will be available after 31 August, to make room for lots of exciting new stamps, colours and pattern paper in the upcoming 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalogue. Punches in the new catalogue will be the new slimline design - great for storage and transport -  so don't panic when you see them on the list.

Also don't forget just one more month left for the Autumn Winter mini catalogue - if you don't have your own copy just let me know and I'll pop one in the post for you. Some of my most favourite products are in this mini, including the new colours Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede - yum!

Please let me know your order on cazza74@iinet.net.au or just give me a call on
0408 472 510 I'd be happy to help you with your order.

I'll leave you with a couple of recent baby cards I made for friends with newborn bubs. Both cards use the very cute Forest Friends stamps, I feel like reading Bambi all over again!



Have a wonderful week and I'll see you soon with lots more Stampin Up! news, crafty tips and papercraft inspiration.

Love Caz xx
