Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Tami White


Hi Crafters!

Some exciting news for you today! It's Blog Hop time!! Today we are CASE-ing (Copy & Selectively Edit) Tami White, who is also joining us on this hop! 

I hope you find great inspiration from all the projects in this hop. You may be starting the hop here at my blog (Jessie Holton) or you may have come from the previous person on the list. Be sure to click on the next person in the list to continue your blog hop adventure casing Tami's work.

Here is the card I have chosen to case from Tami! I am loving the new Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack!


And here are my set of cards, inspired by Tami's. I decided to make Thank You cards with the Flower Patch bundle. The stamp sets Tami has used are Rose Wonder & Crazy About You.


For all of them, I have used the Stampin' Up! products: Flower Patch stamp set with the matching Flower Fair Framelits, Burlap Ribbon, just one thread pulled out & twisted, and the new Metallic Enamel Shapes in Silver. The flowers & leaves have been stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock. All of the colours I have used are coordinating with the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack.

This first one is Delightful Dijon with Old Olive.


Next I have Pool Party & Old Olive.


And lastly a Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla & Old Olive version.

Sprinkles of Life Cards

Hi Crafters!

Today I have a little trio of cards I have made using the Stampin' Up! Sprinkles of Life stamp set. This is an adorable set & was in last year's catalog, too. I did a series of five blogs with this stamp late last year; you can view the first one here & follow it on from there. These are for my class on 30 July. More info about classes I have coming up here.


I have used a Thick Whisper White base for all three cards. 

For this first card, I have used the gorgeous new Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper & coordinating cardstock in Emerald Envy & Melon Mambo. I have used Archival Basic Black ink for the stamp.


For the second card, I have used the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper with the Watercolour Wash background stamp in coordinating Mint Macaron & Flirty Flamingo ribbon. I have used the Tree Builder Punch & Decorative Label Punch. It doesn't show in the picture, but I have also done a faux stitched border. I have used Archival Basic Black ink for the stamps.


 Finally, I have used Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper for this last card and coordinating cardstock & ink in Archival Black & Melon Mambo. I have also added Gold Metallic Thread & Gold Metallic Enamel Shapes.


This is my card for this week's Team Project Highlights. You can see all the entries & vote for your favourites here from 6:30pm Friday 29 July 2016.

http://www.craftykylie.com/2016/07/crazy-crafters-team-project-highlights_29.html

I have also entered this last card into two Blog Challenges:

July may just be the best month to join!

Hi Crafters! 

I wonder if July is possibly the best month to join in. To be fair, any month is a great month to join, but when you look at July you’re looking at a whole new open door for new demonstrators…

Join now & have until 31 December to meet your first quarter! Have a look at this sampler to see all the goodies you could get for $235! That's right - you pick your own kit worth $235 & pay only $169!!



Stampin’ Up! has quarterly minimums to meet if you wish to remain as an active demonstrator, and they’re calendar quarters – Jan to March, April to June, July to Sept, Oct to December. However, the quarter that you join in is given as a sort of ‘grace’ period. You’re not expected to meet any minimums in that quarter, but any sales/purchases you make carry over. It’s a good job you don’t have to meet them, I joined 2 days before the end of the quarter!

Anyway, so because July is the first month in a quarter, the whole of the July – Sept quarter is a grace period, so in actuality, you have aaaaaallll the way through until December 31st to meet your minimums. And they ain’t exactly high, just $440 per quarter. Which when you take your demo discount off, works out to be around $120 per month, or $360 per quarter, and considerably less if you’re a July joiner! And once you promote to Bronze Elite, it's even less as your commission goes up to 25%!

And yes, this does take effect no matter which quarter-start month you join in, but there’s something extra special about July.

You see, as a demonstrator, you get to shop the new catalogues a month earlier than anyone else. Very sensible for those who go out and demonstrate, we can pre prepare projects in advance. However, if you’re a happy hobbyist wanting to shop for yourself, you get that extra month.

And that extra month makes a huge difference when the Holiday catalogue is live to the public for just 4 months from September to December….

You see, there isn’t another quarter that this happens in. The pre-order for the Annual Catalogue happens in May, which is mid quarter and the Occasions pre-order is December, the end of a quarter. But that leads me to my next bonus point. That a July joiner gets to shop 2, yes that’s TWO different catalogues on pre-order… the Occasions catalogue is up for pre-order in December, and you’ll be able to earn Sale a Bration free goodies a month early too!

Stampin’ Up! is setting up a great series of things for us demonstrators to do from next Wednesday, and they’re demonstrator exclusives plus we get the first look at the new catalogue then, too!

So aside from joining because it’s an amazing company, you love the craft supplies, you want a discount and you want to be part of my team, July really could be the best month to join to take advantage of lots of brilliant stuff.

Of course, if you decide that you want to make this a business, or even just keep ticking along as a happy hobby shopper, then you can get to pre-order and the demonstrator perks for as long as you like….

I’ve got a bit more information here for you if you’re curious, including what I offer as a Team Leader and upline.

You could also click here if you are ready to join, right here, right now! Note: to join my team, you must reside in Australia.

Love You Lots - Clean & Simple Watercolour

Hi Crafters!

Today I have for you the Lots of Love stamp set by Stampin' Up! I have made a set of four clean & simple (CAS) watercolour cards. I am giving these sets away for free to everyone who completes three of my classes. I will have all six of the hostess stamp sets for you to collect, but I am starting off with this one as it was my favorite - I just fell in love with the little elephant as soon as I saw him!


Above is the set of four cards I made. They are all watercoloured on Shimmery White cardstock, using the Aqua Painter & the black outline has been stamped with the Archival Basic Black ink. The silver embellishments come from the new Metallic Enamel Shapes - you get a sheet of silver & a sheet of gold shapes in each pack.


This little frog has been painted in Cucumber Crush with matching cardstock & DSP (Affectionately Yours). His puddle is Pool Party.


How cute are these two little ladybugs! I have done these in Watermelon Wonder with Crumb Cake shadow. The cardstock is Crumb Cake & the DSP (Affectionately Yours) is also Watermelon Wonder & Crumb Cake.


This adorable set of hedgehogs have been completed in Crumb Cake & Night of Navy. I have layered up the Crumb Cake over the spikes to make them a shade darker. I have used Real Red & Emerald Envy for the flower, which I've coloured in with a Blender Pen.


And lastly, my precious little elephant, has been painted in Smoky Slate & Sweet Sugarplum. I have layered up the Smoky Slate over the shadowed areas of the elephant to make them darker. The Smoky Slate DSP comes from the Neutrals DSP Stack.

I also have a video tutorial, that you can check out below. Be sure to subscribe to my channel so you don't miss out on any of my tutorials!



I have entered this set of cards into the CAS #207 Rough Challenge because I have roughly coloured them in.


Stampin' Up!® have just released an INCREDIBLE promotion for July and August! For EVERY $90 you spend this month (July) you will get a $9 coupon emailed to you to use in August!

Pretty Kitty Serene Scenery

Hi Crafters!

Today I have the last of my Pretty Kitty set for my class I had yesterday. I hope you have all enjoyed this little series that I've done! It's been lots of fun working with this set & the Bella & Friends ones! I also have the video tute for you, so check it out down below.


How gorgeous are these two little kitties!! Love them!! I have used a Wisteria Wonder base, with the top slice from the beach scene card I showed you yesterday & the side cut, too! No wastage here! I have also added a little bit of the White Doily. I have stamped the images onto Whisper White cardstock with Crumb Cake ink & fussy cut. I have used the Decorative label punch for the sentiment. I have used Dimensionals to prop up the sentiment & kitties, & added a few strands of the Burlap ribbon behind the sentiment.

Here's my video for you. I'm going to be uploading lots more videos, now I've got the hang of it, so please subscribe to my channel xx

Bella & Friends Serene Scenery

Hi Crafters!

Today I have the last of my Bella & Friends set from my card kit. This one is using the gorgeous Serene Scenery DSP Stack. If you haven't seen it yet, you've got to get some! It's a bunch of beautiful pics on one side & the back sides are all really pretty patterned paper! Today I'm using the beach scene :)


I've used a Crumb Cake card base, with a piece of the beach scene cut to 14 x 9.5cm. I have stamped the pup with the bone & sentiment from Bella & Friends stamp set by Stampin' Up! onto Whisper White cardstock. I have fussy cut the pup & used the Decorative Label Punch for the sentiment. I have also gone around the outside of the label with a Dauber in Crumb Cake ink. I have also added a couple of strands from the Burlap Ribbon & adhered to the back of the label with sticky tape. I have then propped the pup & label up on Dimensionals.

I have entered this card into the TGIF Challenge - cut it out!

Pretty Kitty Watercolour Background

Hi Crafters!

Today I have a Pretty Kitty version of the card I did yesterday, but using different colours. I hope you like it!! I also have the matching tutorial, please see further down for that.


I have used a Bermuda Bay card base, with watercolour background done in Pink Pirouette, Calypso Coral & Wisteria Wonder. See my blog from yesterday for further instructions for watercolouring. I have stamped the image & sentiments in Archival Basic Black ink. You could colour these images in, but I have chosen to leave them so that you can see the watercolouring in the background.

I have entered this card into the Paper Players Challenge for this week.
