Stampin with Joanna

You make me Happy card

This is a card made with a stamp set called "You make me happy" from the Stampin' Up! Spring Mini catalogue. The greeting on the bottom of this card reads "you make the world special just by being in it" - how nice is that? I think that is a greeting that anyone would love to recieve.

Thanks to Kirsti for the use of her stamp set.

Hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

First ever ATC

These are my first ever Artist Trading Cards (ATC). They are very small compared to a normal card -only 1 ninth of an A4 sheet! It was quite a challenge for me - but I am pretty happy with the outcome.

Hope you like it too.

Suspension card

This is a suspension card, where the circle spins around (it is suspended by dental floss!). The other side says "friends", so when the circle spins it says "hello friends!".  Both of these greeting stamps are from the set taggers dozen.

This is my swap card for the first ever Australian Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip. I am the guest of Jayne Mercer, my upline and long time friend, so was included in the swap for the group.

Hope you like it.

Mini Catalogue Launch Goodies

If you are coming to my Mini Catalogue Launch Party tomorrow night then sorry to ruin the surprise! These are the cards and tag you can make and some of the free giveaways. I've got one more that I am still working on! It is a surprise what it is in those funny shaped containers though! They are called sour cream containers - I think in the USA that sour cream may actually come in containers like this - but I'm not entirely sure.

I still have a few spots left, so if you like what you see, and have a free night tomorrow then email me to book a spot now. There will also be lucky door prizes, lots of yummy nibbles as well as a great group of ladies to spend the evening with.

If you can't make it and live locally to me then I am offering the following too:

Email me your Stampin' Up! order by Sunday 19th August and I will pop a sour cream container, like those pictured above, in with your order when I deliver it to you. Then you can discover what is in them too!

Big and Little Pieces Christmas

This is a card pretty much copied from one by Carol Dunstan (thanks Carol!) Although I did add my own twist - using little pieces as the centres and a bit of faux stitching, and of course a completly different colour scheme!

I know Christmas seems very far away - But I have customers who want to be very prepared for Christmas - they are booking Christmas card making nights with me already! This uses one of the new sets in the Spring Mini Catalogue - Big Pieces. It coordinates perfectly with the Little Pieces stamp set and is only available for a limited time - so if you "need" it let me know! Email Joanna.

You can view the online catalogue here.

Thanks for looking!

Polka dots and paisley

Here is a card made with more new sets from the Stampin' Up! Spring Mini Catalogue - Polka dots and paisley and Polka dots and petals.

Two lovely sets that coordinate very well together as well as with the petals jumbo wheel and the Petals and paisleys designer series double sided 12 x 12 papers.

I love the cute 2 step flower as well as the dotty background stamp.
