Crop Night this Saturday

Inspired by a layout design by Veronica Goh, I created my version with the gorgeous 'Elegant Soiree' & 'Newsprint' Designer Series Paper. A textured 'Soft Suede' 12x12 base with 'Baja Breeze' Butterfly Accents, cut with Stampin' Up!s exclusive 'Beautiful Butterflies' Bigz Big Shot Die, demonstrate perfectly why Stampin' Up! are the masters of coordination.

Come along and CASE (copy and share everything) this elegant layout this Saturday night at my first Crop Night of 2011. Limited to 6 people and starting at 7pm, Crop Night is $10 and includes use of tools such as the Big Shot as well as a light supper.

A Christmas Card with a Handy Hint

Have you ever gone to create a card and found you don't have all the materials to complete your vision. Recently I have been ploughing through huge anounts of striped DSP (Designer Series Paper or Scrapbooking Paper) to the point I had none left! The solution is to create your own from strips of Stampin' Up! cardstock. The best part about this is that you can create your own custom combination - how awesome is that! A big thank you to Leonie Conyers, my friend and fellow demonstrator, who showed me this idea which had come in turn come from a very smart customer of hers. There are pictures below detailing how I made the striped cardstock for the Christmas Card which I recently presented as a Make & Take at my weekend workshop. If you would like to make this card or any other project, it is not too late to book a Christmas Workshop - email or ring me to work out a date.

Firstly cut your chosen cardstock colours into 1/4 and 1/8 inch wide strips (you could of course vary this to your own design).

Next, adhere these strips across another A4 sheet (choose something you have bucket-loads of!)

Finally, slice your hand made striped card-stock crosswise in 1/4 inch strips - how beautiful! When I put these strips on my card, I thought it really finished the design off well, creating a bold visual.

Dress Up Christmas Bundle Class Series

Stampin' Up! is offering 4 bundles and you can find the full details on my Stampin' Up! website www.lizcollett.stampinup.net

My personal favourite is the 'Welcome Christmas' Bundle, which is why I am running classes with this particular bundle. The specialty DSP is not available separately, which is a shame as it is stunning and I would be personally using tons of it if I could! Below is a clearer snapshot of this DSP, which includes 2 flocked designs - how gorgeous! We will be making 6 projects, including 4 cards, one scrapbooking page suitable for framing and an ornament. Please book asap as I am running these classes in my home studio and numbers are strictly limited.

Sarah's Wedding Place Cards

Check out the place cards I have made for my friend Sarah's wedding on Friday I delivered 81 place cards and 10 table names this afternoon to Sarah's mum & dad and thankfully they were thrilled with the result.

Orange is a popular bridal colour at the moment and Sarah had requested burnt orange. Thank goodness I knew this before the last catalogue ended, as I was able to buy up on 'Really Rust' Card Stock. Each black card base is a 1/4 of an A4 folded in half. I printed the names directly onto Whisper White Card Stock and matted them with the Really Rust Cardstock, which I ran through the Big Shot using some bridal embossing folders (non SU). I think the black ribbon wrapped around the rust and white makes these the Rolls Royce of place cards. The cards were adhered to the black folded bases with dimensionals.

I'll try to remember to take some shots of the cards on the tables on Friday - this photo was quickly snapped as Sarah's dad checked over the spelling with Marianne (Sarah's soon to be MIL) and we bagged them up into tables ready to be delivered to the reception. Lesson of the day is, it takes longer to print 81 names, adhere them and tie black ribbon bows, than you might think!
