Stamp Happy - Top New Zealand Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Flower Shop in Watercolor

This is a fun card given to me by one of my team, Kristine McNickle.  She's got a great sense of style, and it was a pleasure to receive one of her creations.

She's used the FUN Flower Shop stamp set and matching Pansy Punch, combined with the Gorgeous Grunge background:

The background is color washed on watercolor paper, for a summery look, and a perfect canvase for those splatter stamps!

One of my (and Kristine's) favorite embellishments at the moment is the Washi Tape - sooo easy!  And a perfect match with the "grunge" look.    Stampin' Up! has now released 12 different styles of the tapes, so I'll be using this lots!

Thanks for stopping in today. I'm off the computer now to design my next scrapbooking page for our Nelson Stamp Day next weekend.  Cold, rainy days are perfect for creating!

Tag a Bag Gift Box Idea

I've been heads down preparing my presentation for the My Digital Studio Tour Auckland 7 September, so my craft desk has been a bit neglected lately. I hope to see lots of you in a few weeks at the MDS Day, with classes, demonstrations, and prizes to be had!  And even better, the $45 registration fee gets you the FULL MDS software package!

I'd like to share today a lovely project designed by Kristine McNickle for our Hamilton Extravaganza last weekend, featuring the Tag a Bag Gift Boxes and the Flower Shop Bundle:

I love that new Alphabet Press Embossing Folder - and it looks great on the CoreDinations cardstock too.

The boxes come with the Kraft Base and an acrylic lid that goes all the way around the box.  Kristine has designed the Primrose petals Insert here to add a bit of colour.  Cute idea!

The flower embellishment is made from the Flower Shop stamp set and the coordinating Flower Punch (buy both together at a 15% discount).  Fresh and easy!

The lid and the "leaves" are done using the Cordinations cardstock and sanded up for a vintage look - combine with the Brights colours for a very trendy project!

I'm off to pack for my day adventure tomorrow to Tauranga for the Crop & Shop event!  Hope to meet some new friends and listen to a lot of Elton John.  x
