“Create With Kathe” For Thursday 19th June 2014

Happy Birthday Wayne O!

Thursday was my hubby’s 50^th birthday, so I cancelled the evening class and had all the family around for a surprise party - he was very surprised, and is still mastering his new touch phone!

He realised when I was trying to tidy up after the afternoon class, and I was getting stressed, hence the Stampin’ Markers “Pick Up Stix”!

You see, the “Many Marvellous Markers” holds all 48 Stampin’ Markers, and they all have their very own spot/position in the case, and the whole lot fell over the table and on to the floor!

For Thursday’s class, we made a “Card In A Box”, and they turned out beautifully!

Bev made her using the “Watercolor Wonder” DSP and “Backyard Basics” stamp set and matching framelits …

Marion’s featured the “Watercolor Wonder” DSP and “Flower Shop” stamp set and matching Pansy punch, with a butterfly and bird or two from the “Backyard Basics” set …

The card base is Crumb Cake, and the accent colour is Calypso Coral and Island Indigo.

The “Backyard Basics” are stamped in StazOn Black, and hand coloured using the Aqua Painted and many different Ink Pads!

Marion stamped the flowers from the “Flower Shop” stamp set in Calypso Coral, Tangerine Tango and Hello Honey.

I made up a sample before class …

And made an alternate version using the same DSP, but with the Island Indigo as the accent …

Amazing how the same pack of gorgeous “Watercolor Wonder” Designer Series Paper can make the card look so different in each of the cards made.

The Stampin’ Up! products featured {“Watercolor Wonder” DSP, “Backyard Basics” stamp set and matching framelits} are only available till 30 June, so get in quick and place your order!

It is nearly time for the new annual catalogue to be launched and you have LESS than a week to make the most of the offers and items on the retiring list!  

Once Tuesday 1st July comes around, the items on the retiring list will no longer be available!  

The current Summer/Autumn Occasionals catalogue also finishes on 30th June, limited items are carrying over to the new annual catalogue but most items are not so don’t wait until its too late!

My next order will be placed Thursday 26^th June!
