'Travel' - Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlight

I'm back! And this time it's for Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlight Theme: 'Travel'.

And you can VOTE for your favourite of favourite creations!!!
The top ten winners will get to be a part of an International Blog Hop. 
So please vote for my project. You can do that here.

My creation is using my favourite stampset 'You're Sublime'. I have loved this stampset as soon as I opened the Occasions Catalogue at OnStage in Melbourne in November 2015!!!, and I thought the caravan was perfect for our 'Travel' theme.

 Here she is; the most darling of caravans you ever did see. And the 'Follow your heart' sentiment is such a perfect 'Travel' sentiment.
I have made my card for friends who are moving back to the UK. They moved to Australia 8 years ago, and due to lots of different reasons, they are heading back home in a couple of weeks. They are definitely following their hearts.

The background of my card is from the 'Serene Scenery DSP Stack'. A lovely beach scene reminiscent of where we live on the Coast. 
The caravan is sitting on a vellum Oval from the 'Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies' - Yay! they're back!!! And the 'Burlap Ribbon' & 'Gold Natural Trim' finish this card nicely.

Bon voyage, my friends!

Thankyou for visiting my blog and make sure you head over to Kylie's blog to vote for my project. I would love to be chosen to do an International Blog Hop.
Have a wonderful day. D x

Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop - 'Giving Thanks'

Welcome to my Blog, and to almost the middle of November! I don't know about you, but this year has flown by so fast! Time flies when you're having fun, right?

The 'Creation Station Design Team' have a 'Giving Thanks' Blog Hop theme for this month - welcome if you have hopped from Dena or from Kathy, and be sure to check out all the gorgeous creations by clicking the links at the bottom of my post.

  
We all say 'Thankyou' and appreciate someone or others at some stage, and as we don't celebrate 'Thanksgiving' in Australia, I have created 'Thank You' notecards for my husband Andrew, to give to his staff. 
Andrew is a Teaching Principal in a small government Primary (Elementary) school of 80 students in Kangaroo Valley NSW, and his teaching staff, office staff, librarian, cleaner and groundsman all contribute to the social and educational success of the students.

Here are a couple of the notecards I made using the 'Scenic Sayings' stamp set, 'Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack', 'Crumb Cake Notecards & Envelopes' and the NEW 'Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies'!

A perfect masculine card for the School Groundsman don't you think?
I did a little reconstruction of the sentiment on the banner (as per my customers wishes). I added a 'Soft Suede' banner atop the original stamped image. I then cut down the 'So, so much' and used 'Stampin' Dimensionals' for a little lift from the banner. 

Using beautiful 'Bermuda Bay' and adding my own embellishments; layering different ribbons & the cute little flowers & leaves from the 'Tree Builder Punch' to make a pretty card for the ladies.

The production line of creating; precut DSP & cardstock, stamped & die-cut images, ribbon rolls and DIY punched flower embellishments ready for making.

'Thankyou' so much for visiting my blog.

'From me to You' - Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlight

Hello and welcome to my blog! The ever amazing Kylie Bertucci has organised this International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlight, and it's an opportunity to send someone some 'Sunshine' in the mail.
And you can vote for your favourite/s by clicking here!

 

 

The theme for this Blog Highlight is: 

'From me to you when you are feeling blu' #frommetoyouwhenyouarefeelingblu

So with a thought on how to make someone feel a little better, or to let someone know you are thinking of them, this is my creation:

 

 I went about to make my creation by using the 'Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack', followed by the 'Friendly Wishes' stampset. This cheered me up no end, and I think it would make someone happy too. And how lovely to receive a handmade card in the mail?

 

 The 'Serene Scenery DSP Stack' is just a little bit gorgeous, don't you think? I couldn't go past the sunshine on the grass scene for my card, coordinating with 'Delightful Dijon' and 'Tip Top Taupe' for my card base.

(My 6 year old preferred the 'Tip Top Taupe' cardstock over 'Crumb Cake' cardstock.)

And the coordinating colours are fabulous too:

 Bermuda Bay, Crumb Cake, Delightful Dijon, Island Indigo, Old Olive, Pool Party & Whisper White.

 

I have something for you... for those who leave me a comment (which I love to receive), I will choose a person at random to send you my 'I'm always here for you' card.

Whether it's a ray of sunshine in the mail being sent to you, or you have someone in mind to send or give my card to, then that's all that matters.

And don't forget to vote for your favourite creation/s while you're at it! Vote here!

 

Thankyou for visiting. Have a sunshiney day. D x
