HAPPY EASTER!!!

Happy Easter

These delightful boxes (which is your favourite?) are made using the Pop'n Cuts Big Shot die from Stampin' Up! This idea I found by Tanya Bell on our Stampin' Up! demo only site Stampin' Connections. That site is one the biggest perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, the 'sisterhood' (there are blokes there too but in general they're mainly woman), the support, the info and the nearly 300,000 samples is AWESOME!!!
I used the cute Birds of a Feather DSP on these boxes, the two sheets with eggs all over it were PERFECT for any Easter project. I made these for some family members and there is one for a lovely lady who's coming to house sit our place while we are away over the long weekend. The main reason she's coming is to keep this furry fellow company!!

My Digital Studio

 YES it is FINALLY here in New Zealand!! This is a digital design studio which you can use for online graphics, digital scrapbooking and card making or even just a place to design your papercrafting and then recreate in real life - no mistakes made and crafting supplies wasted!! You can purchase the full version for ONLY $27.95 (item 130646). But if you're not 100% about it you can down load a FREE 1 month trial too!!! You can purchase the full version or use the free trial via my online shop HERE - please not that both items are downloads not a physical disc so you need to ensure you have the internet speed and computer space as noted when you go to the shop.

Here is the project that Dee Sturgeon taught us on Monday night on Crafters Anonymous. It's a cute as little album. The two parts under the ribbon in the below photo open out accordion style where you can put photos etc. Be a great brag book!! This is a great project for a class so if you would like to learn how to make it contact me to arrange a class for you and a few of your friends. julia.leece@vodafone.co.nz

Meanwhile here is a pic for you today. This is a version of the one we did at my team training on Saturday. I got the colour scheme from the ever faithful Colour Coach - I would never of thought of putting Old Olive, Raspberry Ripple and Pink Pirouette together!! I used the Cut and Pop card base to make the outside and the inside part which 'pops up'. Inside is a gift box and the lid comes off to reveal a gift card!  This die is going to have so many uses!!!

pretty in pink (well primrose petals actually! lol)

This is a card I demonstrated at my workshop on Tuesday night. I cut a large doily using the lovely Stampin' Up! die. I then made up a spritz using the empty spritzer containers that we sell. You add rubbing alcohol, a few drops of reinker and to get a lovely pearly look I add a few drops of shimmer paint - this one I used Frost White.
It's a little hard to show the sparkle on the photo but it's there! lol Just a bit of scraps of card and a sentiment and you're done!
Today is the VERY LAST day of Sale-a-bration - I can't believe how quick the last 2 months has gone! It's Easter next week - where did this year go???? So PLEASE contact me today by 4pm to place your last order to benefit from the wonderful FREE products - you don't want to be this person!!!
